Quoted from Whysnow:I like light effects but there is a time and place to use them correctly and IMO they should not punish a player for doing well.
Good examples would be even simple things like red lights on Atlantis or Green on Spacestation. A newer game like ST is even a good example with lots of good lighting effects when you do something well butthe ball is not currently moving. TWD with horde is another good example >> ball is waiting in shooter lane when the lights go dark.
Bad examples are things like crossbow on TWD. Make a shot and then get punished with strobby blackout in the face. I do know that I am ultra senstive to this and my eyes dont adjust well to light flashes so maybe it is not so bad for other people???
Agreed. There's an awesome light show in LOTR, but it only happens when you destroy the ring, not every time you clear a mode. Only gripe with GOT was the skittles light show. And the art but that's a given. But I do feel those two reasons make it hard for me to get emotionally attached to the pin. It's fun, but to own, it has to look and feel special. Not sure we know that yet.
