That's not nit-picky at all. That's walking out the cinema and demanding my money back. I cut games some slack occasionally but when you have a heavily narrative driven game from a dev that leans heavily on that very thing to differentiate himself from others, I expect a better level of craft.  He put himself in this position, not me. ND have also put themselves in that position but they live up to it (99% of the time).

Because, just like in nearly all games I 'play', I end up tuning out of the story and dialogue and just enjoy the gameplay. I would just like to also engage in the story without wincing. Like I said, Cage is the person responsible for this level of scrutiny, not me. Other developers don't push the 'emotional connection' narrative like Cage does. They just make the game and hope people like it. ND also talk in similar terms but they're more nuanced and multifaceted in their approach to explaining it. ... And of course, they're leagues ahead of Cage in this regard. If ND slips with the next game, I will be all over them. The difference here is they have actually set the standard while Cage simply gives it lip service. 

I take it you like David Cage ... :) Sorry.

So, let's look at this ...

1: 'No need to apologise'. Perfectly reasonable and decent.

2: 'I got it'. Mmmm ... Curt and so suggestive of testiness. Is at odds slightly with the fist sentiment. We already have 'conflict' without it being spelled out. Take note Cage.

3: 'You suddenly like to bitch about things these days.' I would lose 'suddenly', it does't really add to the sentence because 'these days' does that job better. This is very Cage unfortunately. The interesting word here, and a brilliant counterpoint to the first perfectly reasonable sentence, is the word 'bitch'. It could have been 'complain' (neutral and objective, emotionally speaking)  or 'moan' (Less neutral and from a more subjective and negative perspective) but you chose 'bitch' (A powerful word, perfectly nailing the conflict with the opening sentence.) We now know for certain the sentiment of the first sentence is meaningless. Again, Cage, take note.

4: 'I'd say you should just skip the game entirely and not buy anymore Quantic titles until they 'meet your standards''. 'I'd say' is a reasonable sentence starter here. It shows the writer understands this is merely a subjective interpretation of the conversation and that other people may have differing views. I would lose 'entirely' here though. You can't really partially skip something. You either experience it or don't experience it, unless you partake and then decide it's not an experience you want to continue with, in which case 'skip' isn't the word I'd use. At the very end we have 'meet your standards'. Without the quote marks there would be a certain degree of ambiguity in tone. Although the inclination would be to think it a possible dig. However, with speech marks included, it makes it a certain dig in the context of what was written beforehand. It was also the motive for this ironic response :)

There's also the fact that these are androids. They don't exactly have a natural talking pattern. To me, the writing is fine. I do think it's funny that some have a certain writer/director that they chastise, but then defend other games/movies with equally "bad/clichéd" writing.

'You can't kill me, I'm not alive,' the android tells the android. 

It has nothing to do with natural talking patterns. It's stupid writing. 

SO WONDERFUL !!!

My Dream-Game this year maybe!
