YOU TURN UP THE FUCKING BRIGHTNESS. :lol can you believe i played thru the subway tunnels before looking into the options to turn up the brightness? I thought the game was suposed to be dark on purpose for flashlight effect and then i got to the tunnels and couldnt see shit. :lol "turn up brightness until you can see the X" OOOOOOOOOH!!!! :lol

 

[GotchaForce]

Hilarious.

Yeah, alot of games are too dark nowadays. I guess thats what happens when you dev. and test. on super bright plasmas and LCDs.

This is more because my monitor sucks than anything, but in HL2 brightness adjustor I cant see a single line of text(out of 3).

Turning off the lights in yoru room helps out with the visibility and brings up the excitement.

Actually, it's really fun to turn off the lights in your room and play without the flashlight. Spooooky~

I do appreciate games that allow you to tweak it.

*Looks at Ubisoft*

I really liked the look of Condemned (gonna try to scoop it on Boxing Day) when it was a bit brighter, and the dark part that were earlier black, can be seen with the naked eye, and then playing without the flashlight. Awesome stuff.

I would love to play Condemned more but the LCD I currently play on have NO blackness... The closest to black I can get is dark blue tint. :|

So I have only played the first level a few times to save the rest for when I get a real screen.

 

[DaCocoBrova]

lol! That must be one shitty LCD monitor.

 

[ram]

yeah - suffering 2 is way to dark too! i cant stand and kicked the game into the thrash.

The game is brighter on my CRT than my Plasma.

BTW, turning off the lights is a must during this game. Helps set the mood.

It's almost impossible to play without the flashlight. Well, in certain parts anyway.

Splinter Cell 3 does it. King Kong issues are adressed too.

unfortunately, console manufacturers didn't listen to my advices

Including a brightness, colour, contrast, gamma tweaker in the dashboard, with all games using those settings. Like colorific software or something similar.

Programmers would develop their games following a standard, players would experience them exactly the way they're supposed to..
