Sliding Scale of Shiny Versus Gritty: Difference between revisions

 

== Tabletop Games ==

** Slaanesh worshippers thrive on being shiny.

*** The Dark Eldar, like other followers of Slaanesh, are shiny. However, they strive to be gritty in order to express their love of inflicting [[Cold-Blooded Torture]]. So they [[Scary Impractical Armor|put blades all over their armor]], although they just end up looking [[Narm|ridiculous]].

* ''[[BioShock (series)]]'' is an interesting example: it was once ''very'' shiny, but it was made gritty by a civil war.

* ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' CD has this as its theme. The present day levels for the most part are usually in the middle when it is bright and shiny. The past levels are the same way, just more primitive. If you're playing the good future levels, they are really bright and shiny. Though if you're playing in the bad future(the one ruled by Dr. Robotnik's/Eggman's)it is total hell. Everything's got a dark brown, rusty and muddy look, the skies have a crimson/purple look, the oceans are polluted, and so on. Those futures are so bad that even the Doc's robots are miserable and broken down. Yes it's just that bad.

** The Zerg are biological, normal gritty doesn't actually come into it.

** That's not grit, that's ichor. And the Zerg have plenty of that.
