I've played Fahrenheit and Heavy Rain. And while i had a certain respect for Fahrenheit (don't get me wrong though, it's bad in pretty much every conceivable way) i would argue that his writing is, indeed, that bad. Now, that's not quite the problem... It's just part of the problem. His games have some of the most repetetive gameplay i've ever seen in a modern game. They downright alienate the player. Basically just show him cutscenes and occasionally test his reactions with QTEs to drive home the point that it is, indeed, a game and not a movie.Vitagen said:As someone who's never played any of David Cage's work, is his writing really that bad, or does he just get an exceptionally bad rep because he thinks he's some sort of transcendent genius but in reality isn't?
Now, there's one thing Cage is somewhat good at and that's building atmosphere. I will give him credit for that. But there's pretty much nothing else about his games that would be of any value.
