I'm going to trot out my "Oddworld was always meant to be wacky and vivid and oh-so-sinister and AO was only GRIM DARK VIOLENCE because everything in the mid-'90s had to be fucking DOOM to get published" argument again

This argument would work better if you didn't have shit like Crash Bandicoot, Croc, and Rayman coming out around the same time.

Anyone who claims that this or that "harms the atmosphere" or "detracts from the mood" needs to consider what exactly that atmosphere is supposed to be, and whether that's their decision to make.

And this one would work better if we were talking about something that wasn't a remake of another game with an established atmosphere already, and we weren't told the team was doing their best to capture the tone and feel of the original. Of course it's not our decision to make, we aren't the ones making the game. Doesn't mean we can't sit here like OH NOOOO when we notice something's off to us.
