  David Jaffe is unhappy that his generic revenge puddle of spit character has actually grown in depth and is truly interesting now.

    Instead of just “man literally too angry to die.”

    Ehh, h’s not wrong. If this David Jaffe guy is a pro-revenge type, of course he has the right to be unhappy: the writers for the new games blatantly said in interviews they completely changed the story around to oppose revenge, completely against the wishes of this Jaffe fellow apparently. Which is ironically a vengeful act.

    People don’t have the right to just change stories to suit their personal opinions and the new writers need to learn to respect that.

    Lest the writers after that change it back to a pro-revenge story with depth and good writing just to spite them.

      I think the new writers absolutely do have the right to change the story as they see fit, on account of they’re the writers and David Jaffe isn’t

        They don’t, because they’re not the original writers and stories are art, not corporate marketing products.

    I mean on the one hand you have a story of a father and son grieving over loss while finding themselves…

    And on the other you have gratis in a hot tub fucking bitches with my rhythm-based mini game.

    I really do wonder what he thought was so great about the character before?
