I think it'd be more accurate to say your opinion should be taken with a grain of salt because you read a minimal amount of plot elements, based your opinion off of that, then continued to be more and more negative as you found out additional details out of context. Despite being wrong about many elements of the plot, you hated the game before you ever watched somebody play through on stream. It's less of a 'you didn't play it' and more a 'you made up your mind before you really experienced it at all'. I would say this isn't accurate too. I was actively hoping that the middle part of the game would end up justifying the leaked parts I would see, and would provide a better context and end up justifying all of it. For instance, I watched all of Abby's part of the game with a very open mind hoping they could justify her doing something so brutal and horrifying in the beginning of the game, and hoping that she would end up a good character. But instead they seemed to make utterly confusing narrative decisions with her. Like, bafflingly so. Like her taking advantage of her drunk friend by sleeping with him when he has a pregnant girlfriend and then when asked about it the next morning just going "It meant nothing to me" is just awful. This is all after essentially telling him he should man up. Stuff like that just baffles me and makes me struggle to understand why it was in the game in the first place if the goal is for us to actually feel for this character. I had said multiple times that it looks bad, but I'm going to have to see how it all plays out to see if it ends up truly as bad as it seems. Unfortunately, most choices in the middle of the game didn't necessarily make me feel much better about it. But to say I went into it without an open mind isn't the truth. I went into it wanting the game to have good justification for the choices they made. It just didn't happen though. --- Check out my entertainment blog!: www.heroicbiz.com I discuss video games, comics, movies, and TV! <cite>PrivateBiscuit1 posted [p:942066053] in Actual The...
