your reaction to aesthetics is an opinion. some people claim that killzon 2 and 3 are all graphics and no aesthetics, but i disagree with this notion. when i play killzone 2 or 3, the dilapidated environments around me, and the shaeds of colors used feel oppressive. and this is done intentionally. when i am on helghan, i feel like i cant breathe, like i want to get the hell out of there and back to earth, or vekta or whatever its called in the game. so in that sense, i think GG have succeeded in their aesthetic choice.
people immediately see the shades of grey and brown and dismiss it as lack of art, but these colors are purposefully chosen to create an emotion within you while you play. but don't get me wrong, some game dont get it right at all. i havent played, but ive seen, quantum theory. and they too employ all sorts of browns and greys and what not, but god their game just looks horrible and tacky.
you know what im sizzlin?
