it doesn't have nice effects like distance desaturation/blue, but given that it is essentially a photo, does that mean that you think SE England looks horrible?

What kind of reasoning is that?
Hey look at this [blurry overcontrasted photo of a puppy] which has been made into a texture and put into a game, anyone who think it looks horrible must think puppies look horrible...

I'm gonna go make a game now, with only flat photographs as textures, as long as the motif doesn't look horrible there's no way the textures and the game can look horrible..

Yes it looks horrible because it's a photo..
Compared to 3D environments and compared to real life, it looks horrible..
