#bc im tired of games trying to emulate realism

[ganondoodle]

you ever see an opinion you disagree with so much that your head feels like its gonna explode bc you cant even comprehend how someone can think that and then see otHER PEOPLE AGREE ????

talking about someone saying that botws colors look "washed out" and bad bc its sometimes low in contrast/saturation ??

botw is the prettiest game i have ever laid my eyes upon, and im not saying games like ori ARENT pretty, but calling botw inherently worse looking bc it isnt overly saturated/high in contrast all the time is pretty unfair ??

most of the "washed out" colors are also caused by the fog/atmospheric fog botw simulates especiallly when looking far into the distance which is a thing that they got so right botw feels much bigger than it is (to me)

and yes i get that this is a very biased opinion of mine, but it makes me so angry nonetheless

they also made some ""color corrected"" shots in which ... its just more contrast and saturation and GOD it looks so awfully plastic and much more dated/old (partly bc the low quality textures get through much more clearly than before), i realized that that is also the problem i have with aoc, bc there they actually did that as well (and possibly also got rid of most of the atmospheric fog) and whenever i saw gifs/screenshots of it i wondered why it looked so weirdly ... plastic to me and now i see why

botw has high contrast/saturation when it NEEDS to, and saying it looks worse inherently bc it doesnt have it all the time is an opinion i never thought id get so aggressive about

#personal #botw #do you look outside on a rainy day and think hmmm this looks ugly #could use some color correcting #???? #yeah yeah i get it #games dont have to be realistic #and i am a big advocate for that #bc im tired of games trying to emulate realism #but theres a difference in trying to COPY the real worlds looks #vs making it FEEL more real #im not trying to hate on the one that made the video either #we actually do share alot of opinions #but this one i couldnt forget bc i heard that the first time #and a ton of people agreed with them #SORRY but i dont want my eyes to be burned ou of my skull #when looking at a game #bc it has 500% und saturation #12 glow dodge layers #and 200% contrast #just so some people can call it pretty #more glow/contrast/saturation doesn equal prettier #like i cant articulate myself good enough to sound convincing #and i know its also an opinion #but seeing so many ppl agree broke me #rant over
