Is there a problem with liking a gameplay-centric game for its gameplay? You're the one telling me I have to care about the cutscenes.
The thing is though, Other M isn't really a gameplay-centric game. It's quite story-driven, and the existence of a theater mode goes to show that. And honestly, I'm okay with that in principle, and I liked the interplay between story and gameplay. The problems in the story come from elsewhere, not the fact that the story exists or is a key focus.
And honestly, while the game's writing certainly left a lot to be desired, it wasn't that bad. It had its moments, even. Not exactly high praise but I can think of worse written games that people love.
I'm just saying that the hate for the writing is generally overblown, at least relative to other things.
