Darkened Software

5 seconds in & Bioshock II has already pissed me off

That was the quickest I have ever been put off by a game.  Don’t make me commit suicide in a game, that is not something I would do so it just turns me off.  Once you turn the controller over to me there should not be any cut scenes or anything that are not just story telling and informational.  If you force me to make choices that I would not normally make then you have just tore down the 4th wall and I might as well be watching a movie.

And that is what this crappy cut scene felt like, a writer that should have been starving in Hollywood took a game job to make some quick money and is writing game stories that are trying to pull emotions out of me with a crow bar while trying to get nominated for an Oscar.  This is games, the choices should all be made in the gameplay itself, cut scenes are just to move the story alone.  I am trying to put myself into the character so do not make me do anything that a normal person would not do.  You want drama then make the secondary characters do it and leave me out of it.
