Hard to read the phone!

Is it just me,

or is the phone very dark? dark text on a grey background make me have to strain my eyes to ready. I've put the brightness all the way up, and pretty high contrast, the rest of the screen is nice and moody, but the stupid phone just lights up a black light on a black background!

Can this be changed, or do I need to get a new in-game phone?

BT

Re: Hard to read the phone!

This may be good news to you.

Spoiler: Later on in the game the phone image/animation is updated a little when somebody gives you a gift of a new camera phone, the background is different and if I remember it's a little easier to see.

It will get better with time...just get to the 30% completion level and your phone screen will get brighter...I had the same gripe and I was relieved when things improved.

It's still rubbish, slightly better but not good enough.

Re: Hard to read the phone!

You can also make the text size bigger on the phone options menu...

I was about to say thay... It makes a HUGE difference as I couldn't read the text either to start with but with text size set to large it's much better.
