Talk:Dissolution

I just finished this mod, and while it's pretty alright, it had a few shortcomings:

This mod shows what will inevitably happen when the lighting is 100% quadratic instead of 100% linear: Glare everywhere. Changing just one setting could have done a lot for this mod.
Many sections looked cut and pasted. It felt like the player couldn't escape one generic level.
The cubemaps weren't set, or if they were, they were set in very weirdly lit environments. It's not just "Doom glare" - you can even spot the purple checkered texture in some cubemaps.
The encounters happened in groups that pretty much charged at you all at once. 6 guys, then nothing, then 8 guys, then nothing. You learned where to expect them after awhile, and could lie in wait for them every time you activated a trigger. (The game was still pretty hard, though.)
The audio logs were very hard to listen to, partly because of an overall low volume often competing with in-game music, but also because the voiceactors were clearly sitting down when speaking, so they were always calm and almost mumbling.
The main protagonists in the logs were 17 and 23 years old. One of them was the CEO of a huge company, and the other one lead an open revolt against the former. ...and one of them had the audacity to refer to some other people as "teenagers". I even think one of them was the FATHER of the other. Hopefully I mistook "age" for "years of service".
Whenever I encounter a "corporate schemes" plot as thick as this, I think "Bioshock", and then suddenly I'm in Rapture.

Just reading the article made me think "Bioshock knockoff" and lose interest. Thelonesoldier 07:00, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
