    What’s wrong with the sparkly effect from e.g. Resident Evil 4? The yellow paint is already immersion breaking.

    • I’m a fan of outlines, myself. There’s no such thing as a correct answer here. Yellow paint, sparklies, circling white lines, glowing, pulsing, rainbow stickers, whatever. As long as it isn’t as odd as god of war where runes emphasize all wilderness climbing walls, my suspension of disbelief is unfazed. Took me a while to figure out that you can climb them. I just thought they were decorative for like 5 confusing minutes.

        I just think the yellow paint is so overdone, it kinda pulls me more out of the experience than other “unrealistic” shimmers. It’s a bit like the uncanny valley effect.
