Being twenty two years old makes you a kid? If you think you're not a kid at age 22.... lol, I know how old you are.

Look at that group selfie of the crew on the sofa. Looks like a sleepover. Or a cheesy, feel-good sit-com. Definitely marketed to teens and early twenties. The group photo in ME3 was an earned feel-good moment. This one is trying too hard. Heart breaking, but we'll have to look elsewhere for serious games. Which is too bad, because Shepard was serious without taking himself too seriously. Not all grim Eastwood, but not a character on "Friends". And most of the content out there is immature, marketed to pre-teens to early twenties. At least that's what it seems to me, even though over 1/3 of the gamers out there are 36+, the majority age group last time I looked.

I think calling Ryder a kid is a bit much but I would've liked the story to be more gritty. TB talks about this in his WTF Is video about how despite the fact that they could all just die if the Pathfinder isn't able to do his job everyone is awfully cheery about it.

I was just thinking before I read your post, that that's one of the things I like about the Witcher series, that Geralt has a few years on him. He isn't a child or teen growing into adulthood just in time to be the hero and save the world.

Oh wait... Stop already with this childish inanity, it makes zero difference what the stated age of Ryder is.

Pick your bone with someone else.

Wait, actually we were a wide range of ages and did that to remember good times together. It's the same with me and my friends. I don't see why a group photo is wierd. They are friends that are having a good time together and wanting to remember that moment. That's not an age-specific thing. This crew has been through some serious stuff together as well. The game has even been building the crew as having a family relationship through banter and activities. Why is it wierd that they take a photo of a happy and relaxed moment? Also why is it wierd that they pose during it? That's what people tend to do in photos. Head resting on shoulder. Way too precious.

The insult was to the writer's of the game, and I guess by extension those who enjoy this sap. If that was a giant low-blow, I guess our standards are considerably different :|

Being twenty two years old makes you a kid? If you think you're not a kid at age 22.... lol, I know how old you are. Ooooo please do guess how old I am. Hint: It's older than 22.

Wait, I thought the Movie Night quest ended with a crew photo because of screenshots I'd seen but it didn't. I've just played through it. The camera was just zooming out to frame the crew. What group selfie are you referring to?

We all have opinions, none of them actually relevant to anything other than that opinion. yep, right, game about teens for teens. Pretty much what OP was saying. Except that nobody was expecting that from ME. Also, there are ways to make a "coming of age" type of game good - look at Tomb Raider series relaunch. While not perfect, it does not cause anywhere near as much cringe as Ryder (Scott in particular) does, while doing essentially the same - showing character getting into situation way over her head and having to quickly mature from spoiled brat longing for adventure into actual adventurer.
