Ok, I guess I should qualify the 'acting' comment.
I wasn't talking about the voice acting, although I do find the main character's voice doesn't really fit his looks (in my opinion). I guess I was more referring to how people behaved. I supposed this is more a 'writing' issue. People in the game don't behave like I imagine people would in such a situation AT ALL.
Society has gone to shit in a matter of days, and one of these guys is still wondering about whether he's going to have the usual for dinner? The battery thing? People being completely clueless about the situation when zombies have been a trope in Western fiction for close to a hundred years? The answering machine was a good piece of writing, but there's a definite lack of panic or hysteria. People seem to have, in a very short time, moved into 'survival mode'. Hmmm.
Ever wonder why people in zombie fiction have apparently never heard of zombies? What the fuck?
And the woman with the batteries... I'm reasonably certain that was just a puzzle tutorial, and not some kind of statement. Which just came off as lazy.
I'm just listing gripes here, I still think it's a decent game. Things like this just push me out of the experience.
