You've yet to point out a single plot hole! There's no facts at all in your argument. You've only cherry picked a handful of examples of "bad" dialogue while simultaneously trying to insult me and label me as delusional and a fanboy.

Where are the other examples of bad dialogue then? You've had plenty of opportunities to give more examples, but you've repeated the same ones, and only those.

That's the Fallacy of Composition. It's the attempt at trying to refute the whole by way of a couple examples.

Know you know. You're welcome.

Alright let's go over his scars... Also use the damn spoiler tag you've been asked already!

...so why does he have scars on his stomach that hints at something being taken out of him?

Answer:

That's a side effect from repatriation. It's a scar from when a BT tries to connect to Sam's "umbilical cord", you get more scars and handprints if you die a lot to BTs. Which is how Sam makes Voidouts.

Now on to your obvious deflection about the flashbacks.

You've yet to say why those segments are poorly written. 40+ hours of gameplay. That's part of it.

Where is it?

I have provided a reason why the thematic (I can spell the word out for you if you like) storytelling is brilliant yes. I even clarified that in my first post.

Thematically yes. I have provided reasons why.

While you're Googling what being objective is, maybe you should also Google how to read as well. It couldn't hurt.

Where are the plot holes? You've typed so much, and you've only given me three you thought were plot holes. Dozens you say? You've counted?

Well you say you're so objective, right?

You've been flat out misrepresenting what I'm saying. You're even cherry picking my points and taking things out of context.

Like this: "You've done absolutely nothing to show how it's objectively bad writing"

And what did I say:

"You've done absolutely nothing to show how it's objectively bad writing other than saying it's bad. Which does not make it so."

Repeating the script verbatim is not an argument. You're just presenting information and saying "Yeah, this right here. It's bad."

What about this?

"You probably think you're very clever rehashing what I've wrote to suit your own narrative."

Ahhh. I see you conveniently left out where I explain myself.

Here it is:

"This is very telling. You probably think you're very clever rehashing what I've wrote to suit your own narrative.

You'd be mistaken, because this shows your lack of creativity, and the fact that you seem to have to latch on to something else in order to even attempt to make an objective argument."

My point was that you don't provide any arguments. You just rely information and say, "Yeah, this right here. It's bad." It's not creative. It lacks critical thinking.

Now here's where you stop being objective:

"Because he writes objectively awful lines like "I'm Fragile but I'm not that fragile" and evidently thinks this line is so brilliant and key to the story that he has included it at least three times in the script. That is one example of many."

In response to me:

"Why is he an awful writer?"

How do you know that he thought it was brilliant? Assumptions are not logical, and therefore, not objective...

Also... How is that line objectively bad?

Is it cliché?

How can it be when a line like that really hasn't been uttered at any time?

Does it not make sense?

You and I both know it makes sense.

Her name is Fragile, but she isn't that Fragile.

If she says it more than twice, then I think I'm safe in saying it's a mantra... She's been through a lot after all.

Look up what objective means. I'd post it for you, but you seem to dislike me, you're very emotional, and you're better off hearing from a source rather than me.

No hard feelings. My girlfriend and I very much enjoy the game. That might be a reason, but I've never claimed to be objective about the game. I just claimed to know that you aren't, and I have proved that sufficiently by your own words within context.

I also urge you to find someone to share your life with so you're not so angry. I wish you all the best.

(Assumptions aren't very nice. They're certainly not objective).

I really will be ending my part in the discussion here (I promise this time). This positive feedback loop has become unenjoyable. (I actually did not have to Google that. lol. That's what studying and conversing about psychology gets you. :3)
