Am I the only one who gets depressed when the setting is bright and colorful? For example, having played all Max Payne games, the dark and gloomy atmosphere of the first 2 were very comfy and made me feel right at home, but when the third installment took me to brazil with all of it's bright colors and warm weathers, I began to feel depressed and just generally bummed out. Games with dark cold atmospheres always cheer me up, but when the game puts in somewhere like a warm desert, beach (tropical or otherwise) I feel the need to turn off the game and never look back, I have to force myself into playing games with such atmospheres, what about you?

Diablo 2 gave me exactly this feeling
As soon as I hit the desert it made me feel awful for some reason

I do play some games like the early Fallout games and New Vegas, where the more warm setting compliments the feeling of living in a post apocalypse, it's all supposed to be depressing and desperate, right?

You probably felt bad playing Max payne 3 because it's worse than its predecessors.

That's because color and "real settings" connect with you on a more personal level. You live in a colorful world, you don't live in "dark grey, tan land"
The sky is blue, the grass is green, fire burns orange, and you live in a shit world with evil people

It's probably because you're a beta and your brain has developed an aversion to bright cheery settings as an extension of your bitterness towards seeing everyone else your age being happy out partying while you're sad and kissless.

That's because deserts are shit-tier, no matter what game. They're bland, boring, and just awful to look at. Beige and brown palettes aren't welcome in my vidya.
Sun, water, clear skies and warm, sandy beaches are still cool though.

The dark atmosphere enables us to escape from the world a while and it makes us more alert to what is going on in the game. Max Payne on a hot sunny day would be like a game where you play the part of hitler or Mengele and he is having a day off on the beach at St Moritz reading a newspaper and relaxing in a deck chair. Really you just want gas chambers and gore but you get sandcastles and ice cream

I think you´re not the only one. Then again, I wouldn´t say that bright settings make me depressed, I just find dark and moody colours more bearable and more comfy.

I get the same way. It's because I'm unhappy, and haven't had a good life overall, and the dark, cold, gritty settings feel like the places I retreat to. I love the night, and especially when it's Autumn/Winter and cold out.Because if it's warm and bright, there's an inherent desire to be out with people doing things, but I'm too unhappy to go out. There's also the knowledge that other people are out socializing, having fun when it's warm/light out, and you feel deep down that you're missing out. That's my understanding of my own subconscious machinations.Also, no one cares, but today was the first night where it dropped below freezing and it makes me so happy.

My favorite are dark, snowy settings. Walking around Bruma in Oblivion at night with this playing sticks in my head. Same with the later levels in Halo when it's night and snowing.

The HBS Shadowrun trilogy would be a good place to start if you're into cRPGs. The first is weaker than the latter two (too short and easy), but still worth a play. All three nail that atmosphere like nothing else.

Oblivion nighttime and soundtrack are out of this world. I still remember the first time I played Oblivion and walked the streets of Imperial City at night stalking some NPC for a quest. Always wondered why it stuck in my memory. Probably the music and ambiance.

Bruma is super comfy. Best town by far.
Oblivion is shit on too much and can be salvaged with mods. Not as good as Morrowind though.

Must be the music, it helps when the composer made it while he was a wreck.

Don't mind deserts personally. I enjoyed the Mad Max game. It had good desolate, unforgiving atmosphere in those dunes.
Now I'm replaying RE4 and I normally love castles but in Resident Evil 4 the castle just feels like a slog and the atmosphere is shit compared to woods, villages, graveyard, caves, etc. Even the sewer area of the castle was an upgrade with better atmosphere and creepy enemies. The cloak faggots just aren't that creepy. Villagers are creepier and those hounds in the graveyard look terrifying. Now that I'm at the castle I'm struggling to keep playing because the atmosphere just isn't as good.
Where I enjoyed castles most was when I downloaded a bunch of castle maps for Unreal Tournament.

Sadder still, even if there were hope for a sequel, there would be a likelihood that it would fucking suck, especially since each and every fan project is basically (((shut down))) by white wolf and the rest of those crumpet fuckers.
VtmB is probably one of my favorite games of all time, comfy as fuck, but I've gotten to the stage now where all the little nuances, the amazing feeling I had when I first played, it's all getting a little rehashed even with the mods simply because of how many times I've played it. That, and the fucking sewer level.. Holy shit. Also I wouldn't mind skipping the Ocean House Hotel on new playthrough's simply because it's just basically a bunch of set pieces that break new players in but for people who've already played it there is no other way to progress without going through with it and it does suck a bit. Never the same as the first time. And even then I wasn't going in completely blind because I was shitscared.. Place still scares me a bit too. end blogpost

It's a game set in dystopic favelas with trash and shit everwhere. You're just an NPC who grew up with 360 games and their horrid brown palette, so everything else causes you emotional trouble.
