When I want really complex characters with really good stories I read books and watch movies, and I do that a lot, that's maybe why I find many Sony games so dull, they focus a lot on that but they aren't nearly as good as the characters and stories I usually consume and they usually make the equivalent of american cinema blockbusters which is not exactly my thing but to each their own, personally I like when games are great at being games, I can't help but think the need to make it so close to films is born from insecurity, cinema has been considered a high class art for a long time, so some (simple) people think games need to be the same in order to be high class art too, everytime I read story is the most important thing on a videogame a part of me dies.

 

really good story, good complex character. shorter than a blockbuster movie. can finish under an hour.
