[Commander Fuckass]

just made it to iron keep and it's amazing how this game manages to be uglier than both of its predecessors. also why is there a boss every 5 feet?

I think it looks fine???

ok but there's repeating textures on tons of surfaces and the aesthetic design for half the levels seems to be "someone puked green sludge all over the walls" (and not just the black gulch where that actually happened). the graphics are, of course, objectively superior to demon's and dark's graphics, but where those games covered the ugly stuff up with strategic darkness, this game lays it all bare for some reason

[Samus Aran]

It's because you're playing the PS4 version. Wait, you are playing that version right??

But yeah on the PS3, the game was darker. For some reason they cranked up the brightness on the PS4 version so now you can see all the ugly textures. I noticed it right away the first time I saw it played, during the first boss.

[TooB]

They messed with all of the lighting

Brighter places are brighter
Darker places are darker.

sinh was such an annoying piece of shit boss, maybe the most annoying boss in the game so far. and i say this even after just fighting elana and the 3 npc shitters
