Map lightning/bloom discussion

You’re very confident your opinion is somehow objective, but it’s not.

@Freezer

People can have different preferences here, there isn’t an objective best look.

I already addressed this:

@musicalmushr00m

for players who prefer the current lighting effects, this could be very easily solved with settings that can be individually adjusted to a player’s preference. This almost completely eliminates any sort of contention over visuals, as the player can simply adjust anything to their liking.

Absolutely there is going to be subjectivity, but I can’t help but see a trend. Still, that is the point of configurability, precisely to avoid these kinds of arguments as people can pick whatever they want.

@Hardware

it is better to hope for a mod rather than an official patch to be honest.

Yeah, at this point that is what I think is most likely. However, I don’t believe the modding community should shoulder the burden of trying to “fix” a game that is currently being actively supported by its developer.

I have a lot of faith in the modding community (as they’re pretty awesome) but going to them should ultimately be a last resort, at least until live support ends.

But I liked how OG Sapi, Paris and maybe Hokkaido had this sober atmosphere that did not thrill you too much before you do the thrilling part of the mission.

Agree 100%. Actually that is one of the upsides of having no color grading at all. Having aesthetic restraint shows maturity IMO.

Or maybe I’m reading way too deeply into post processing effects for a video game and I am going completely insane.

Yeah …

Probably that.

So I’ll put away the lighting discussion for now. Don’t want to derail everything.

But I’m not giving up the fight.
