Subject: What was the point of making Reach all gritty?

Hi.

ODST showed that you don't need to make the colors gritty and ugly to make a game feel dark and damp.

Would you have preferred Saving Private Ryan with bright sunny skies and lush colors?

Except there weren't four other sleek and bright Saving Private Ryan's before it.

ODST showed that you don't need to make the colors gritty and ugly to make a game feel dark and damp.

Guess what Earth survived, Reach didn't. ODST was more film noir and wasn't like H3 in terms of 1 to 1 art style.

The conclusion of the story dictates whether or not you should make the graphics look like poop.

Interesting.

Do you think war is a sunshine a lollipops. War is -blam!-, the graphics should dictate that.

It can still look like war without looking bad.

Why is hypocrite spelled with an E at the end?
The I in crite is not pronounce as eye.

So, on the one hand I spell it out exactly as it should be.
You follow the standard set before you by fools who can't even get a handle on the rules of their own language.

I didn't know that war had to look like the backside of a donkey.

Oh, so now we're going from the conclusion to the scenario?

How convenient for you.

And Reach wasn't war - it was driving along the countryside in a farm vehicle.

If you ever play Reach turn up your color, brightness, and contrast, see what kind of feeling you get.

I get a very slightly more exciting version of this.

No point to it, when you think about it.

I miss CE's colours. Hopefully CEA won't ruin it.

Fear the Probulator. Looking at my stats I see, well go ahead.

Because Reach is supposed to be a desperate, planet-is-falling game. The other games were mostly about being a badass(except for ODST, which IMO actually captured the "desperate" part really well).

I actually really like the way the medals were done. I don't really care for the rest of the art style though. Not that I really mind it that much either.
