One might regard friends as those who you wish to keep close. Don't, for if that friend leaves, you will suffer one thousand times more than you have ever suffered.

More Colors =/= better and innovative gaming.
Face it, a lot of people love the same 8 color schemes in their games, if that's what you're implying about COD or whatever. It's not harming the gaming industry or anything like that, it's only harming your ego.
I'll bet that you'll like anything as long as it has pretty colors and lights, now dont'cha? How shallow.
In a sense, yes. More colors does not exactly equal a better game. However, that still does not lift my frustrations about game development companies pushing realistic graphics over eye-pleasing aesthetics. Lollipop Chainsaw is a wonderful example of good art style and interesting characters, but with gameplay being a relatively mixed bag.
I want to see MORE colors with MORE original gameplay styles. This is why BlazBlue was so good. Many different colors, but had a really fun battle system that with time, was really hard to master, and it felt good to finally be able to do that 20 hit combo you couldn't previously do.
Odin Sphere is another great example of gameplay feeling tight and satisfying as well as simple, but having amazing and colorful graphics and a pleasing art style. A great example of a good realistic game would be Metal Gear Solid 4, and even though it has the same turd-brown I am always frustrated with, it passes on gameplay, story, characters and music. Call of Duty falls flat in the story, music and characters department. While I admit the gunplay is interesting, it's not enough to keep me interested, and the art style and graphics just don't do it for me. So there.
