thanks for saving me the time of copying and pasting those. Blood and Wine DLC was the first thing I thought of when I saw the city picture in the OP.

So you're saying you want more colorful games?, okay, here you go.

Those games get labeled realistic because life isn't all about vibrancy of color, most of the time colors are relatively muted, if you look out your window almost always the sky (if its a clear day) will be the most vibrant color you see, that's reflected in games, especially where tones and contrasts are used to deliver the desired atmosphere in a game, RE7 for example would be much less "scary" if you walked to a house with a full blooming garden and blue skies and a rightness of color everywhere.

As for Doom, isn't it set on mars?

Have you seen mars?

Oh my bad. The language was similar to what was used in another thread were someone got quite offended over the aforementioned conversation.

But yeah, I often find overly "gritty" games to be quite drab.

those screenshots were real time rendered?

yeah, maybe a bit saturated but the places are real.

Woahwoahwoah... Bloodborne is actually VERY artistic.

Sure, but my number one rule is that it has to be fun or worthwhile playing it

Doom is actually an incredebly colorful game.

It's also not meant to be realistic.

Arkham Knight takes place... at night. Not much room for color in the dark.

TL;DR:

*makes post about how games need to be more realistic*

*shows example photos that have clearly been photoshopped and look more like Nintendo games*

*smirks to herself about how clever she thinks she's been, while ignoring existing realistic games with bright color palettes that would look less realistic if run on Nintendo hardware*

fin.
