No room for imagination anymore. Games are all about grim, dark, brown environments.
That´s just too bad. It is like if games are not about escapism and fun anymore. I personally don´t like what the industry marketing is doing to games.
i´m 38 years old and I think the world - as it is - is gray enough. When playing a game, I´d rather choose fantasy worlds that make our imagination flow rather than worlds that try to mimic reality. Of course that´s not to say that realistic games can´t be good, but i feel bored of seeing it on so many videogames, it makes many games seems so similar in atmosphere and even on graphics. I´d rather choose art style over realism in videogames.
Maybe many gamers think that they need this, they need gray, realistic, M-rated games for proving other people that the videogame is "something serious" and that they´re "not kids anymore", and the industry marketing tries to sell those games on that perspective. I feel that this discussion may somehow end in that famous C.S. Lewis quote....
