I don't generally battle much anymore with game-specific opinions, but please explain...
For me, it was anything but pretentious or bullshit.

The game, which it can barely be called (even quantic dream's work can more readily be recognized as a game, though that isn't really my issue with it), is much more interested in being art than it is in being a game, with its overwrought story, especially that of the shepherd, and the ludicrous ending. The narrative is right up there with lady chatterley's lover in terms of self indulgence. This is of course my opinion of the game, if it speaks to you in a deeper way I certainly do not mean to belittle your experience with it.

Sometimes, games play out more as motion-paintings, yet, retain the prompts of a video game. Nothing wrong with that. As I often defend Quantic Dream's games, yes games (you can't "interact" with a movie), I feel the same here. I'm glad they exist as something fresh to play.

I actually agree with you in that regard and feel there is a place for these games (I did say that was not my problem, at least not my biggest one), I take issue with the narrative. In truth it's the same problem quantic dreams has (though there are others), namely David Cage and his atrocious writing.
