I'm so fucking sick of games with colors like this. So many games look like over-saturated children's books. It looks like horrible ass and shouldn't be nearly as popular as it is.

Why do you millennials have such terrible, terrible taste where you constantly think that this garbage looks good? Why? I mean games like Diablo 3 I stopped playing because you literally can't even see anything when there are fucking colored lights and other stupid looking effects exploding all over your screen.

How do you even take yourself seriously playing games that look like this? How do you have any self-respect when other adults see you playing a game that looks like a cartoon for little girls like it's a professional sport?? Doesn't it exaggerate the fact that you're already a 26 year old still living at home that never plans on getting married or having any real adult ambitions in your lives?

Go away, you clearly don't enjoy gaming.

I'm sorry, I gotta disagree with you on this one, I love colorful games.

I'd say games are becoming too dark, in fact.

I'm playing NioH right now and everything is so colorful, red for the fire, blue for the ice, green for the poison, everything is the right color.

Plus the invocations are so bright and colorful, it's nice.

I enjoy all types of games, but the majority of them are disgustingly, embarrassingly colorful. OVERLY colorful because of 35 year old man-children and woman-children that have embraced nerd culture instead of adulthood so have failed to develop finer tastes for things.

They still have a place, sure, but when games like Diablo 3 that never had any place to look the way it did turn into a colorful shit show, it's a problem. It's childish, and the art styles don't help. Gigantic Disney-looking clownish stereotypes of the most generic fantasy/anime/DeviantArt crap. It's just awful.

A lot of the best companies are making games that look like this to cater to this demographic .

Stop it.

Muh brown'n bloom

I enjoy games with color when it's done right, such as Breath of the Wild.

You need to understand that not every developer has people with actual art backgrounds or with solid knowledge of color theory.

How old are you? If you're legitimately under the age of 18-20, I'll cut you some slack. Even when I was that age, I preferred more realistic looking games especially considering what genres they were (shooters, RPGs, strategy, etc..) but I didn't mind the colorful games as much. But also it felt like there was a nicer balance when I was younger-game tech was still working on getting better and better graphics. Now its like working on getting dumber looking all thanks to World of Warcraft and ten gorillion dollars.

It's like almost every one looks like some sort of embarrassing cartoon that I don't want my wife to see me playing.

Breath of the Wild looks really nice. It reminds me of Wind Waker, a game that at first I was turned off of, but seeing the animation, color palette, and quality of the artwork, I was sold on it.

I play games like Don't Starve and stuff so I'm not averse to cartoony styles, I just can't handle the colorful crap anymore.

Just downloaded Battlerite for the F2P week on Steam, and I just wanted to puke at the big, blocky Disney bullshit and colorful effects for every single goddamned thing in the game. The gameplay itself is fun, but I don't know if I can handle the graphics anymore.

Looks like someone was too underage to remember brown and bloom absolutely fucking everywhere.

I'm 33 years old, my son. I remember, but I didn't mind it. It was never this awful tragedy like people try and make it out to be today. Now they've caught up with the tech and can make nearly photo-realistic games but they choose to make this pseudo-Disney shit.

I need my games to be dark and edgy, like my soul. t- OP, Consumer of Cock

Look guys, lots of you are ragging on OP.

OP doesn't mean he doesn't want color in his games.

He means he doesn't want EYESORE color from developers who don't know color theory.

How about you stop playing video games you fucking ancient man child?

just use the color saturation settings of your pc/tv
problem solved

fucking kill yourself dude

>How do you have any self-respect when other adults see you playing a game that looks like a cartoon for little girls like it's a professional sport?

most adults who aren't playing madden or cod enjoy games like nsmb, farmville and snipperclips so I don't know what the fuck you're on about. Lots of adults enjoy Pixar movies too and those garbage Dreamworks movies like dogs talk and minions

To catch the biggest audience. Making your game colorful will attract the kiddies and the man children with varying degrees of autism.

Kiddie games are fine everything has it's place and there is plenty of games that are not kiddie land. Its really not worth bitching about. Instead of playing overwatch play battlefield etc.

I like Dungeon Defenders

>Said the autistic pussy boy child that loves his colorful video games.

The game looks like this now jesus

What's wrong with color? Are you an edgy teen or some shit?

>you millennials
so you are over 38? if not you are a fucking millennial to you stupid fuck

Go back to 2006 grandpa

The only people I remember talking like this are ones that were in elementary school

the game was made to play and not look pretty only for esports watching

i don't mean to nitpick (oh what am i saying of course i mean to nitpick) but i haven't played that game in 2 years and even then it looked completely different to your image
get a better bait user

>How do you even take yourself seriously playing games
Should have just ended there mate, or even just with "games like this"

I would argue that taking yourself seriously at all is laughable, but then tweens start whinging about edge or some shit.

>grandpa tries to smacktalk teenagers on an anime forum
Look at how pathetic you are old fart just kys

>REEEE YOU KIDS DONT KNOW SHIT, WHY BACK IN MY DAY....

Yeah OK old man

I have to admit, I too prefer games that utilize a small set of colors to set the stage of various levels. If you put too much different colors at the same time on the screen, it simply stops looking nice to me. too chaotic, if you get my meaning.
as stupid as this may sound, I liked the dark looks of diablo 2's first act, the souls series and stalker in general. there is just something about the look that gets me hard.
on the other hand, killing floor 1+2 didn't look attractive to me despite having 500+ hours in the first one.

Breathe of the wild looks like it has a shit filter over everything. The original teasers for the game with the grass and stuff looked great then they made everything brown and bloom in most areas.

I need my games to look like they were created and colored by a 5 year old kindergarten class, like my infantile, stunted, and self-loathing soul.

t. user, Gigantic faggot

(also learn how to t. right you fucking newfag piece of shit)

You are a millenial yourself aswell, retard.

Thanks for triggering my nostalgia OP.

Hey I'll tune in to your livestream @ 4:00 eastern where you talk about your latest anime action figure purchases, captain 40 year old weaboo faggot.

>league

Woah dude you got me there, such a good comeback! Wew!

Christ this game is hard to look at.

>tfw watching the game you used to love decay since season 4 as they try so so hard to make it a game for everyone with no understanding of balance
>it's now at the point where you havent played it for ages
I want to go back, man.

I'm so fucking sick of games with colors like this. So many games look like boring brown and bloom "so real" bullshit. It looks like horrible ass and shouldn't be nearly as popular as it is.

Why do you millennials have such terrible, terrible taste where you constantly think that this garbage looks good? Why? I mean games like Fallout 3 I stopped playing because you literally can't even see anything when there are fucking brown rocks and other stupid looking brown bullshit all over your screen.

How do you even take yourself seriously playing games that look like this? How do you have any self-respect when other adults see you playing a game that looks like you hate fun like it's a professional sport?? Doesn't it exaggerate the fact that you're already a 26 year old still living at home and shitposting on an anonymous imageboard to tell people to stop having fun?

Dude um the fact that all of you faggots are sperging out defending games that literally look like pictures colored by children or movies designed to appeal to CHILDREN is really pathetic.

Can you even read your own posts?

Actually, statistically speaking, you fucking millennial waste-of-a-generation worthless children are killing yourselves FAR FASTER than us over 30 crowd lol.

I grew up playing games, real games. You faggots merely adopted the games, and shitty coloring book bait at that because you have absolute shit taste and are stunted in your psychological development by a shit culture.

I'm sorry you'll never play the original Half-Life right after it first came out, or Goldeneye, or A Link to the Past, or Mega Man 2. I really am sorry, but the only one to blame for your shit taste and buying into trash games that are shit compared to games I played 20 years ago is yourself.

But anyway what were you saying??

Technically yes, but I'm actually an adult. I'm happily married with a good job, a house, two children, and adult responsibilities. I'm an Army veteran. I'm a writer and accomplished artist who sells work regularly. I'm an alpha-male badass, and I'm calling you tweeny faggots out.

Sorry it hurts, but that's the only way you'll grow.

Growth always involves pain. Always. Learn this lesson well, my children.

I'm so sick of reality looking like reality! I turn the saturation on my TV up to max and never go outside just so I can absorb the pretty colors because I have the mind and taste of a 9 year old!!

Where is my happy safe space from the mean brown world?!?!?

>I'm an alpha-male badass, and I'm shitposting of Sup Forums

>the original Half-Life right after it first came out

it was the shit. from the first minute on, you were addicted to this game and just wanted to progress further. I need to try the remake some time.

It's much better than the whole brown'n'bloom we had around 2007-2012

you say what you wish you were, you do what you are

remember that

I actually like the new look. Everything looks clean and simple to understand.
I understand the nostalgia/gloomy/comfyness of the old league aesthetics, but I personally find this one better.

On the other hand, if we're speaking about the game balance or management decisions..

Uh yeah, I like Sup Forums because it's the only place with actual free speech on the entire internet.

Have you not noticed because you're 14 fucking years old and just come on here because it's popular and edgy?

I also write web columns and am a member of several other forums. I also write magazine articles and sell artwork. What's your point, young man??

I don't even think you're OP

Black Mesa dude. From the little bit I got to play, it was fucking awesome.

I think it's still free but they charge for the Xen levels, iirc.

I remember when my friend and I used to go Alistair / Malzahar in bottom lane. We would do this retarded stunlock combo. I would always fill my kit with tank items and be an unlikable turret diving monster, disabling the entire enemy team that foolishly targeted me as I turret dived.

Now, it's literally "stick to your predetermined role and do what you're told, not what's fun."

manchildren like bright retarded shit and don't care about art direction

And copypasta was born

so no more famalama aquamaler
youtube.com/watch?v=ICSJjxnQep8

The tail end of the 00s was filled with a bunch of brown and bloom shooters and there was a cultural kick back from it. So now everything has to look like kiddy garbage and if you call it out- well you're just 14 year old who only wants mature games for mature games such as himself

t. someone who grew up with gears of war

...

I did it way back in the day as Alistar/Morgana bot.

I know we went 20+ games in a row where we left bot with at LEAST 3 kills. Shit was so much fun.

As you said, now its "pick one of the top 3 in respective role and go to your lane or report"

You sound very insecure.

Nobody's out to hurt you, man, just take it easy.

you can modify the saturation in this game, if you turn it off it's still pretty colorful but you don't get those color bleed areas in brighter spots

2 is far improved, visually. It feels like there's actual art 'direction' now. Too bad it's F2P trash.

There's nothing wrong with color in games but OP's pic looks like pure unrefined rainbow vomit.

Good point, but I always thought that the brown and bloom shit was due to graphics finally catching up enough to make shit semi-realistic looking.

Colors didn't use to matter that much because geometry in 3D games was awful. No matter how colorful you made it, you still had a giant polygonal block with a crappy texture on it. When 3D geometry, anti-aliasing, high-res textures and all that crap started showing up was when graphics really got kicked up to a new level.

You're right though.

>and if you call it out- well you're just 14 year old who only wants mature games for mature games such as himself
Same mindset different perspective. Both are concerned with looking adult cause they're insecure about their own maturity.

it's one thing to not like an artstyle or art direction cause it doesn't suit you're taste. its another to project yourself onto others

If you were an actual mature adult you wouldn't really give a fuck and ignore it cause you know its not you're thing. Not shitpost on a Filipino flip-book forum

Man I wish I could be as wise and enlightened as you centrists. Truly im honored to be in your presence user

This is exactly what a 14 year old would say. It's called 'panic mitigation' when you're losing an argument and don't want to look stupid so you redirect things and try and gain the upper hand through an inappropriate emotional accusation and appeal.

Ho okay.

No, wrong. It's about over-saturation. Too MUCH use of color, and it looks like shit. It has nothing to do with personal taste - it objectively just looks like SHIT. That's why TV's have color settings, because every setting isn't great because you subjectively think it is because of opinions man.

I like it when the artstyle fits the overall feel the designer desires his game to have.

league hasn't looked like that since 2015

That's why artists spend hundreds of hours perfecting color mixes, palettes, blends, etc.. in their images and work because it matters and it's an art but also a science. Yes there is always taste and style, but you can't just fucking over-saturate everything, ripping off the first game to really do that which is WoW, and just call it your own style or think it's perfectly fine.

Amateur shit is amateur and most of it really seems to be.

Wasn't the dude you were replying to.
But seriously, it's good to reduce stress in life. Don't fill up your head with so much Cortisol.

Nice buzzword

Then maybe you should of said that originally?? (assuming you are that same user) Cause I don't disagree. Which is why i said "art direction." Still I do think it has to do with taste.Some people DO like that style. Saying "nuh uh" doesn't mean anything when I can just as easily say "yeah huh"

That does look much nicer.

>should of

Shit, ya got me

We're all wasting our lives staring at screens being entirely unproductive and useless. We are terrible members of society. What does it matter if we enjoy colorful games or grimdark shit? There's nothing adult about playing so many video games. Don't try to pretend like one persons preference is superior when we're all babys here.

I just finished the Witcher 3 and I thought it struck a decent balance between stunning colors and realism. The ice and mountain sections looks really good. The forest is lush. But I thought the caves were too dark and unexciting. Multiple parts in the main quest had you enter similar caves with eleven portals.

Numales and lazyness. Numales LOVE infantile shit, see pic related (that's the office of Hello Games, devs of No Man's Sky). They also fucking love zany zesty Saturday morning cartoon humour and self-irony which results in stupid fucking games that never take themselves seriously.

Lazyness is by the developers. Shit at anatomy? Can't create a decent shape to save your life? Don't even know where to begin with color theory? First time you hear the word "topology"? Well you're in luck, just call it cartoony, add some zany humour as described above and you're done.

nothing actually matters

our entire planet has less significance to the universe as a whole than a grain of sand does to a desert

I'm not part of this conversation, but you are clearly lying.

You're probably just a guy who wishes he was half as cool as he pretends to be.

Want to go make out?

Great argument dude you really heated up this discussion with your hot opinions

>People falling for bait - the Thread

Let people enjoy whatever they like you fucking autist

>nothing actually matters
>our entire planet has less significance

you can't disprove meaning by using a synonym for meaning in your attempted proof

>but I didn't mind it
Because you get triggered by colors due to your autism. Brown and bloom is far, far, far shittier in every single regard.

>He wants to return to 2006 where every games color palette consisted of grey, brown and black

UT3 is exactly what I have in mind every time I think of brown and bloom. It's not even funny how much shittier it looked than UT2k4.

Just buy a Xbox.
It's literally made for you.

I too love more mature edgy gritty dark games like diablo 2 that have no colors.

Vibrant colors are god tier. Maybe it is because we actually grew up with 8/16/32 bit games that used more colors than your current standard military FPS.

>ripping off the first game to really do that which is WoW
WC3 always looked like shit for reasons unrelated to color, though.
