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.

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

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.
