Completed it last week for the first time and it really does look good. There is so much that’s right in the game. There’s a reason people still cry out for another HL game and raytracing isn’t it.

I understand why some might feel it looks good, but it actually really ruins the feel of the game. Darkness and contrast is a good thing.

Alas, the rectangular light box shone the wrong pattern. Woe betide the unfortunate soul enslaved to a life of misery and torture to cajole the light box to shine such the ugly sisters spare the beatings.

Of course it’s fun. But is more realistic destruction more fun?

That Celine Dion one that kicked off the auto tune craze. The world would be a better place without it ever having existed.

Can I ask who cares about this kind of thing? Why don’t they have more jobs for “making the games fun”? There seems to me to be a point where added realism is detrimental to fun, especially when resources are directed away from the fun.
