Am I the only person tired of almost every single game that comes out taking place in near-total darkness? I understand that having a game take place at night can add a lot to the ambience, but unless you are specifically going for a survival horror feel, please, throw me a bone.
I've been playing Ghostbusters, and while it's a fun game, I actually got a headache on the last couple of boards because you can't see anything whatsoever, and I have the brightness jacked way up. Even with the PKE meter out, it's pretty impossible to see your way through quite a few sections. Don't get me wrong, though, Ghostbusters is far from the only guilty party. It seems like a lot of big games are extremely dark, so my question is this:
Do developers make games dark because people like it? I know it drives me crazy personally, and I can't be the only one.
