I'm wondering, why were the plasma effects changed to look like paint? Was there any gameplay reason why it was preferable to have these much more odd looking effects as opposed to what we had previously? The plasma effects seemed fine before, but now they look nothing like a molten hot blue plasma explosion.
The particles are definitely a step in the right direction. I'd just prefer not firing an oversized sperm cell of molten death.
I only liked the massive explosion. I wish they kept the magma for little stuff, kept the graphic for the big one.
It's more visually distinct plus the effects on the ground. Maybe if the orb of plasma warped during the travel arc to show that it's an unstable mass of death barely contained by a dwindling magnetic field.
There is no big one anymore. Remember that the PC no longer has an overcharge or anything like it. So "big one" doesn't exist anymore. The PC is just a crappier PG now.
