Like I said, I blame the lack of imagination. It's hard to create an interesting gameplay environment without a city. With the city, you get loads of bland colors. Think of 9/11 ground zero. There were plenty of colors there at 8:55 AM. At 9:55 AM, not so much. All grey. Look at games like Halo, BioShock, or even Haze if you want realism without the bland color palette. Two of those are largely jungle environments, one is a decadent underwater city. |
Which ends in a brown version of the real world and that is what I said I dislike. I really don't care if they have a reason for it. There is a reason I feel pain when but I don't particularly care for the experience. The post-apocalyptic ones aren't even on the top of my shit list honestly. The last game that drove me up a while (and chased me away from photo realistic graphics entirely) was Vanguard. That game had no excuse for its browness. Fallout 3 has me intrigued and might get my disdain for the style to decrease, but it is an uphill battle.
