They turned up the brightness for Witcher 2 to give it an ethereal fantasy feel. In Witcher 3, there is a nice constrast between the bright colorful nature and the bleak lives of the peasants due to the war. I just installed the STLM mod that tones down the brightness though; this looks better.

Santa Monica and Hollywood from VtM:B definitely. there's this mood of everything being past it's time more so than you see in Downtown or Chinatown. The rain and music help SM especially.

It most certainly is colourful. Tribal war nignogs love putting on brightly coloured clothes when they run around shooting each other. Africa itself is a colourful place - brightly coloured sands, rich blue sky, lot of greenery in some places.

'Bleak and depressing' is not a scientifically measurable light wave interference, anon.

You know I wasn't talking about African villages where everything's fine, fag. I mean the sort of shitty run down areas where armed gangs in women's clothing run around shooting each other for whatever dumb tribal reason. It's colourful but it is certainly bleak and it is certainly depressing.

Find a picture of some African war where everything has suddenly become less colourful for some reason.

Bleak doesn't mean a lack of colour you dumb cunt.

If all you care about is the colour and not the actual tone of the game why not just play Mario in black and white?

Yes, anon, because it was the most applicable definition if you want a depressing game. None of the others I skipped over mention colour though, you fuckwit.

What, is
>(of an area of land) lacking vegetation and exposed to the elements
the definition you prefer? Do you think desert levels in Mario are bleak?

Just admit, you're using "bleak" to mean you want "brown n grey n bloom for mature gamers such as myself."

Fucking wew lad. And yeah, almost all of those are photoshopped to be greyscale, so I guess my assumption that playing Mario in black and white would be bleak enough for you was right, huh?

And talking of Zelda, Majora's Mask is actually a perfect example of a bleak but colourful game. It doesn't matter if you like it or not, I personally don't, but the situation is undeniably bleak.

>so I guess my assumption that playing Mario in black and white would be bleak enough for you was right, huh?
Not if you actually look at the content of the images, idiot.
>>
>>321565620
I dunno anon, the first Mario game doesn't have much vegetation. There's some hedges and a few flowers but that's it really. Are you sure you don't want to just play through it in black and white? I really think it would suit your mature, bleak tastes.
>>
>>321565957
So funny, I love that mature meme nintendo fans love to use against people who don't like their games. You are the MLP fanbase of vidya.

>>321566151
Not even a Nintendofan, friend. My point is if all you care about when it comes to a game's atmosphere is its colour scheme you literally might aswell play Mario.

Got to love the nintendo meme underages use when people tell them they're not as edgy and mature as they want to be.
>>
>>321564958
Ok now how about you shut the fuck up, fuccboi?

>>321566307
Sure not a nintendo fan at all, so far you've only mentioned Mario in like 5 posts. Nobody said colors are the ONLY important thing in bleak settings, but you clearly can't read and just want to shitpost in a thread for people with different tastes than you.
>WOW SO MATURE SO EDGY SO BROWN AND BLOOM YOU GUYS GO PLAY MARIO AND ZELDA
You are a huge faggot.
>>
>>321566719
>you've only mentioned Mario in like 5 posts
Because it's the least bleak game I can think of so it's perfect for my point that bleak =/= grey.

>Nobody said colors are the ONLY important thing in bleak settings
Then why don't you actually try and coherently explain what you think bleak is instead of just whining about how you don't like bright colours in video games?

>just want to shitpost in a thread for people with different tastes than you.
I like gloomy games as much as anyone, but they don't have to be bereft of colour and vegetation and constantly raining.

>You are a huge faggot.
