It was just too hard to see everything, and I ended up maxing the brightness on my monitor, especially in Act 1 and Act 3. <BR/><BR/>Being able to see the important objects clearly is a complaint I have about lots of today's games, and I had hoped Silverfall's art would inspire others to make something easier to mentally process. Having to manipulate cameras in 3d worlds is also annoying, for the same reason. What's best for art or technology (both of which are great for marketing) is not necessarily best for the gameplay.<BR/><BR/>I admit there are certain styles of games (especially first person shooters) where actually seeing where things are is a major part of the challenge of the game. I generally don't enjoy these games, but many do. I'd rather know where everything is, and then face challenges involving tactics, strategy, resource management, optimization, etc.Amithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12159325271882018300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5052387.post-31295853724293107462008-08-10T19:25:00.000-07:002008-08-10T19:25:00.000-07:00Have you seen the "controversy" about the color pa...Have you seen the "controversy" about the color palette of Diablo 3?<BR/><BR/>http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2008/08/04/diablo-iii-designer-turns-tables/<BR/><BR/>One of the devs talks about the choice of colors and so on.

I think my dislike of 3d games is primarily because I have to move a camera around, not because the game itself is 3d.<BR/><BR/>Playing World of Warcraft, I find the camera manipulation to be rather annoying. I'll be walking along and suddenly a tree will block my view, and then it's my job to move the camera so that I can see again. What a pain!Amithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12159325271882018300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5052387.post-42419278753130250832008-07-06T12:28:00.000-07:002008-07-06T12:28:00.000-07:00I'm glad to see you interested in Diablo-like game...I'm glad to see you interested in Diablo-like games.
