Same amount of time? Sure, but it would have also cost me more money and once again, been a fundamentally different experience. More enriching experience? Highly debatable. I had known for a long time that Beyond wasn't for me, due to the way it plays. Watching the playthrough just highlighted how absolutely broken the story was regardless of what was being said about it...and my goodness was the story broken.

I wont comment on the pros and cons of how the game feels to play of course, but I don't need to personally play the game to see that the story is a mess.

The game's story is very out of this world, but a mess? I don't think so. Some parts were unbelievably good.

The story took several turns into satire level ridiculousness, was jumbled to obfuscate the lack of sense it made, was written terribly, was stuffed with pointless filler, was stuffed with unlikable and bland characters etc.. There were a few sections that were okay in a vacuum, but the whole thing evaluated as a whole was practically the definition of a mess from a writing standpoint.

On top of that are the design decisions which Quantic Dream didn't have the ability to pull off such as the "no game over" idea, which is great in theory but really messed with internal logic due to how badly it was worked into the story.
