I actually agree, LA DX's colors always seemed like they clashed a lot, I prefer the monochrome scheme for it.

>>4783476
completely agree, and same for this game. The color hack is really well made but it ruins the atmosphere imo

Dude, no, there's almost no difference, if anything having color is always better but not having them isn't that bad either

Has autism gone too far?

>>4783554
It's just preference man, no need to get defensive.
Objectively speaking, yes, those games were developed with monochrome in mind, except for the ones that were especially developed for GBC or with Super Game Boy capabilities, but still they were made mostly with the regular GB monochrome screen in mind.

here's another. those super gameboy colors are awful for this game, and you can't even change the palette when playing it on sgb hardware

Yeah, no. Link’s Awakening would have been worth it in color even if there was no new content added. The enhancements of DX just make it objectively better.

>>4783584
And another garbage example as well. The monochrome colors of the Land games made them ugly as shit. There was no drawback to having them in color.

>>4783772
It really depends on how you look at it, if you look at this screen >>4783476 you can see how the tiles mismatch with each other, most noticeable in the statues there, they blend nicely in monochrome with the rest of the graphics.
I won't say the colors make it look bad, and I totally understand that it's technically "better", but from an art direction standpoint, not so much.

>>4783772
shit taste detected. this is what land 2 looks like with super game boy, it's horrendous.

I'm happy it got colorized

>>4783475

game boy games always look better in color

awakening is the definitive game that's better in color
I have both but I'll never touch my b&w cart again

>>4783475
Do you want to marry me? You look like someone with decent taste.

>>4783475
Pic unrelated, Metroid 2, on the other hand, is superior without color, it adds to the weird alien feel of it.

>>4783485
K thx, I'll stop my hacks asap.

>>4783475
>>4783485
These are the only ones.

>>4784219
in my opinion all original gameboy games look better in monochrome.

black and white>super gameboy colors>romhack colors>gbc colors on non lit screen>gbc colors on lit screen

>>4783772
but DX got rid of the screen warp glitch

>>4783475
I played the DX version first, and I'm inclined to agree.
>>4784053
I like playing Metroid 2 on a Gameboy Light, that way it feels like I'm hunting Metroids with night vision goggles. Pic related.

>>4783476
Well I mean after playing a fair bit of the original monocrome having everything in color was a bit of a shock,they also got rid of the screen glitch as well so no beam sword at the start

>>4783475

link to the past is literally pure brain cancer, with or withouts colored

>>4784734
Guaranteed replies

I like them games in color more, depending on which. LADX is definitely the superior one for me and the SML2 color hack looked real sweet. I'm eagerly awaiting for that the frog for whom the bell tolls color hack.

>>4784883
I don't know what triggers me more, calling LA Link to the Past or his shit taste.

>>4784068
Swing and a miss

>>4786684
Were you using a whiffle ball bat? If the game were larger, like ridiculously, I'd like to explore it in the old greyscale. Or HAVE WE!?

>>4783787
It is penitence and you know it.

>>4784239
What's better, original GB colors, GB Pocket colors or GB Light colors?

>>4783475
Some threads were not meant to be made

It's kinda amazing that hacks with actual content don't get downloaded, but shit that changes a couple colors with barely anything else done gets applauded as being some kind of grand achievement.

>>4789178
It took me a year to write >8000 lines of ASM code and edit >100 files (~250KB of data and graphics) and you call that 'shit that changes a couple of colors', lol

I guess I'll start using tools written by someone else to change graphics and tile arrangements so I can finally make something that deserves to be applauded.
