It's interesting that this conversation became focused exclusively on colors when I was talking more about particle effects or something (I'm not technically educated). But it's like, I'm having real trouble distinguishing characters from the environments, items too. I dunno, maybe it is the colors, but I don't really think so. Bloom effects are definitely a little overdone and a little destructive to the presentation in the excess they're being used these days. There's just something that's making these games really tough on the eyes. I honestly think part of it is that the details are too fine, and it's making the part of my brain responsible for interpreting what I see freak out.

Edit: Maybe I'm just getting old and have been adjusted for a different spectrum? I know when I talk to gamers ten years my senior, a lot of them complain about games from the PS2 on up giving them motion sickness and the like.
