Gaming - Dark video games - View Post

I admit, there are dark spots in Ghostbusters (I won't name them since I don't know where you are-- stupid secret achievements and me not getting around to finishing it on the 360 :-p), though shouldn't be anything too dark, but sometimes it's the TV too.

On my TV at home games are always dark but that's because I have it setup perfectly to watch TV. When I play games I either have to fiddle with settings (I have several custom settings) or just accept that the games are dark. On my default setting on my TV I can actually never see the little logo you're supposed to see when you adjust the brightness.

I am on the last stage, hopefully that is spoiler-free enough.  I have the game brightness turned to maximum and had to jack my TV brightness up a lot to be able to see at all. 

Don't get me wrong, though, I'm not trying to pick on your game, like I said it's quite fun.  It just seems like, as graphics have improved, color has been largely replaced with grey/brown scales and lack of light in general.
