Grey 2.0

Pardon my cursing but jesus fucking christ. I played the Battlefield 4 beta and damn the guys over at Dice must hate colors. I would love to give you some examples but for some reason it doesn’t let me screenshot. The frequent use of the same scale of grey in the game is outraging, I couldn’t tell if it was a lamppost on the road or just a piece of rubble. what happened to the bright colors of Mirrors Edge or Battlefield 1943? Now those games lacked in some areas but I would much rather play those games then have to play Battlefield: 2 shades of grey. I understand that they want to appeal to the ”hardcore” military shooter audience but by adding just a tinie tiny  ounce of color would make their game stand out just a little bit more than their competitors. 

But oh well, in other news I tried the game Outlast on pc and I must say clap clap to the developers in creating a really good system for making the player shit his/her’s pants. One section in particular was so perfectly designed so It made me smile and to explain why I smiled we must jump back a bit. Your objective was to find a way into the showers. There was just a small problem of a big ass guy following you in complete darkness and the only way you could see him was to use your video camera with night vision. the drainage in that system was that the batteries didn’t last very long so it was either hide under a bed, waiting to possibly hear him walk by and then run in the opposite direction. Or use up all your ”vision” to sneak past him. I chose option number two and it led me very well to the next area which was a prision block with lights and many friendly-ish charachters. And the thing that was so great about this was that the game gave the player a sense of false security ’cause when I was searching through one cell everything went great until i turned around and there was this guy. A guy that screamed ”Stop fucking looking at me” and the ran towards me and grabbed me by the throat and started to hit me. And after that a smile was put on my lips because the developers really nailed the aesthetic part of their MDA. I really felt safe and though that nothing was going to hurt me and BAM. Anyway that’s it for me, over and out!
