Reading instead of playing
Like seriously, what's up with the story time ? Reading text after text... I had to resist the urge to alt f4 during Kaine's dream stories and some others and boy it wasn't easy.
Hated that aspect of the game. What the hell were they thinking ?

They were thinking that not everyone in the world has attention deficit disorder and a lot of people enjoy reading.

You mean to tell me you bought this game blindly and didn't bother to notice that its an adventure game? You have bigger issues than your distaste in text boxes.

Pretty much. Those parts were great. Automata did that too just that the section is way longer there.
Sometimes i despair for the attention span modern gamers display.
Nothing exploding or bleeding for 5 seconds? " omg so boring!"

Sigh.

Sometimes the only way you can convey a story properly is through another medium. This time it was a lil story time with your favorite characters. Don't worry, you'll go back to viciously murdering shades soon.

The dev is known for trying to escape the trappings of standard fare video games, you know.

Ugh, such bigotry against books and stories.

I stood in front of Devola for half an hour just enjoying the music.
Good 5 10 minutes staring at the scenery. (Screenshots for proof on my profile lol )

People have no taste or respect for the arts.

You are both clueless when it comes to story telling.
"Show don't tell" is the golden rule in visual medium.
They could have depicted all that with pictures, or in game cutscenes even.

Also not wanting to read in a game doesn't mean I dislike reading in general. No idea how you connected the two.

When was the last time you sat down and read a book?

I rest my case.

Yesterday evening.
You should put posting to rest for a while.

Honestly it's like.... do you want to play another generic shooter with micro-transactions and lootboxes, or do you want some honest to god ART? I mean can you imagine if this series got infested with all that dumb trash? I'd cry.

Totally irrelevant.

Liar - you can't enjoy reading a book and not be able to respect an adventure game with text in it.

Either your just grand standing and bored out of your skull looking for attention - or you have bigger problems.

This is an adventure game for bloody sake - there will always be text to read - that's an understood given thing.

How you thought otherwise is baffling to say the least.

(And if that wasn't bad enough - the majority of it is voiced - which is quite the luxury considering how cheap publishers are anymore - and your still complaining!)

Well they didn't want to do it visually. You'll just have to deal with it, huh? Sure it would have been awesome for the remaster/remake if they did make the reading sequences more visual, but I doubt the dev wanted to. It's his baby, warts and all.

Fair to say it should follow the show don't tell rule, I think it still follows this rule although I can accept the visual novel section as possibly not, that is a matter of opinion and worth discussing.

I like your response way more than your initial post.
