Well of course it reminded you of a wasteland because it is a wasteland.

Exactly! And when it first came out many were complaining why there is no more color in that map, and me and few others said it looks like a toxic wasteland and hence no colors, which is confirmed now.

they're probably got used to Fallout 3, that game is so colorful .........especially in the first 2 seconds into it.
