What about the Alan Wake?
Average at best.

Vanishing of Ethan Carter is just like that without the stupid shooting and with the best graphics in any computergame to date.What about the Alan Wake?

What's the problem with 4 hours of story and no filler? Killing random mooks in unsatisfying moment-to-moment to advance the plot doesn't sound pretty great. Drop the act, become an interactive movie and market accordingly.Vanishing of Ethan Carter is just like that without the stupid shooting and with the best graphics in any computergame to date.What about the Alan Wake?

Vanishing of Ethan Carter is also only 4 hours long.
Best graphics of any videogame to date?
I would say it's about 75% of what photo realism is.
I have no beef with the rest of the Rockstar catalogue even if I would very much hesitate to call the writing in any of their games "great" by its own merit. It generally works well in the context of the game systems at work.
LA Noire's writing primarily suffers from having to carry a shitty fucking non-game by itself (I guess with some help from the neato facial animations). And no, it's not good enough to do that even if it wasn't a shameless fucking rip-off. Which it is.
Mask of the Betrayer, Fallout: New Vegas, and Game of Thrones RPG.
The Age of Decadence too, I guess, but its writing is more of a one-trick thing. So is LISA's. Trails in the Sky is probably as good as JRPG writing gets -- good moments combined with some extremely cliched ones. None of the recent-ish adventure games I've played had any really great writing. Memoria, Kentucky Route Zero, and Primordia were very atmospheric, though. So was Dark Souls. Dangerous High School Girls in Trouble was... significantly more disturbing than I'd expected it to be. Also, Saints Row 4 was amusing.
I wouldn't trust anyone recommending Life is Strange or the Witcher, though. Both are teenage fanfiction, it's just that the former is for teenage girls and the latter for teenage boys.
Don't know what you expected in terms of voice acting from an unknown Polish studio without much money with an IP only known inside East Europe. I'm not excusing it entirely, but I am saying put into context that CDPR at the time was a bumfuck company, and people probably only took the English VA'ing for a little more money and couldn't give less of a shit in effort.Mask of the Betrayer, Fallout: New Vegas, and Game of Thrones RPG.

I can't, for the life of me, make it past Act 1 whenever I try to boot up the first Witcher. The gameworld seems big and empty like a TES game. Every house I entered was disproportionate: the outside looked pretty normal but the inside was HUGE... and empty. The combat mechanics (I tried mods too) is too restrictive, almost as bad as something like World of Warcraft. The English voice acting was some of the worst I've ever heard in a game of this pedigee. Really, with the source material and all, I was expecting a much better product.
Freespace story(and the way it's presented to the player) and writing is very good and fitting for this type of game imo. I hope it's a serious post and not some of your quirky bullcrapFreespace 2

Also, mods for Dark Souls isn't worth it.
I picked up a Xbox 360 game pad for it.
