I'm so SICK of "bad ass" characters, dialogue, storylines and art design.

I agree with your post but not for the reasons you listed.

I don't mind swear words...etc as long as im still playing or its movign the story forward. I hate when they stop the gameplay to build up some character being badass..

Gears 2 for example. The "Cole train" scene...waste fo time. Every 2 minutes of "yee-haww...lets get them sons of bitches" talk on the beginnning...waste of time.

Devs need to stop interupting my gameplay with stupid dialoge that they think is "bad ass"!

Not all big FPS games are jumping on this bandwagon. Halo 3 and FEAR 2 for example...

This man speaks the truth! I don't mind the characters as much as the bad VO, dialouge and cutscenes.

 

Also, I think your being very ignorant with the statement that the villians in Killzone 2 are given their appearance to be more "badass". To be more menacing? Yes. To be more interesting? Yes. To be more badass? No. They sure don't look like Arnald the governator/space marine on steroid type guys to me. Your just lumping as much as you can under the title "badass" and your argument looks weaker for it.

 

 

If there is no fictionally supported context for it (that is actually well developed) then yes, people will construe it as being more bad ass. Have you not seen dozens of posts talking about how bad ass the Helghast looks?

 

 Well, if your going to nitpick then okay. The same goes for villians in almost every game and it's not just the west like you suggest. Villians are suposed to have a menacing feature. Final Fantasy for example is well known for the villian Sephiroth, because of his menacing look and long sword. Same can be said for Cloud and his huge buster blade. Hell, Darth Vader and Darth Maul in Star Wars are made to look menacing are you going to say those films suffer because of it? If your going to suggest that the game suffers because of the look of the enemies then you just opened the flood gates because you will be hard pressed to find any kind of media of the action variety that wouldn't fall to your expectations. The dialouge in K2 and I'm sure the story is enough to both make your point and for you personally to dislike the game. The character design just shows a weak argument unless your going to claim almost every other action based game and movie also fail in comparison.
