I personally don’t find her looks very appealing (her facemodel is beautiful tho) but that doesn’t take away from the games overall quality.
Never played it. Only watched a few let’s plays on yt and 2 or 3 “major scenes” 
. But I’ll take your word for it.
how i love when people criticise things they don’t know anything about

The only thing I criticized was the way Abby looked. How exactly does that require playing the game?
Edit: Even after being enlightened on the “situation” - she still looks odd, IMO.
For example, take someone that finds the herb Cilantro to taste like soap. Cilantro will still not suddenly stop tasting like soap to them after it being explained why it tastes like soap.
you “couldn’t help but laugh at the ridiculousness” of her being muscular in the context of the setting. you didn’t know about the setting.

it’s also explained during the story that she’s trained intensely for half a decade to carry out her revenge mission, to the point where her fixation is called out by other characters repeatedly. it makes perfect sense in the context of her character and the setting

This really goes to show how, like, 90% of internet ‘controversies’ could be avoided if people just did a bit of research before deciding their opinion on something.

I don’t like reused sound effects for different movies. They take me out of the movie every time.
The Wilhelm scream, used in everything from Star Wars to The Return of the King.
That shrieking cat, used anytime a cat is hurt or scared, usually offscreen and in an alley.
That police band radio chatter that I’m assuming came from that incident in the mid-nineties where a guy hijacked a tank from a military base and drove it through a city. You’ve heard it in the background of movie scenes that take place in a police station or have a police radio nearby, and in video games that involve police radio chatter, including Grand Theft Auto 2. I don’t know exactly what it says, but it sounds something like this, with first a female voice, and then a male voice, mostly indecipherable:
“Spotted US tank.”
“Spotted US tank, 496 mumblemumblemumble.”
If you heard it, you’d know.
There’s other, slightly less prominent examples that I can’t think of right now, but these sound effects being repeatedly used across different movies is just jarring every time it happens.

That’s not an unpopular opinion tho. Either when it’s being used for humor, or their budget is super cheap - it absolutely is annoying.
While I’m thinking about it…
“To take them all down.” -47
At least he only said that twice.
And I consider it an unpopular opinion only in that there are those who don’t mind, don’t notice, or actively like the reuse of those sound effects.
I don’t even understand what “take me out of the movie” even means.
When I’m watching a movie, I’m not watching a movie; I’m there, I’m watching events unfold in another universe from a hidden perspective, and the people in it are real, what happens to them matters, the story they are part of matters.
So, when something happens that doesn’t belong and brings me back to the fact that what I’m watching is all an illusion, a recording of a bunch of people dressed up in costumes under special lighting conditions and pretending to do things while their movements are recorded, and music being played over the background sounds taking place during that recording… when something that doesn’t belong makes that the reality again and the illusion is shattered, I’m no longer “in” the movie.
It takes me out, and I’m back here in this stupid real world again because someone fucked up, either with a visual error during filming that was overlooked in editing, because of a logic or continuity error that was missed when the script was proof-read, or something deliberate that still doesn’t belong, like the Wilhelm scream, done because of laziness resulting in stock sounds being used instead of recording a new scream from the actor who’s supposed to be screaming.
That’s what it means.

I still don’t understand it. I have never watched a movie and forgot I was just watching a movie - ever. It’s always “just a movie”. It’s something that can be paused, or abandoned, or finished, but it’s always just a movie. Bad graphics, bad dialogue, bad anything - just movie stuff that doesn’t matter to me and I just have never understood the argument that anything about a movie can “take you out of” if because guess I just have never understood what it means to be “in it” in the first place.

I’ve said it before, man, and I’ll say it again, with all the love and respect: you’re weird.

Nah. I have to agree with @schatenjager. A movie is a movie. It’s fiction not reality and I cannot ever mistake it for reality. Same goes for books, TV shows and video games. Fiction =/= Reality.

I wouldn’t go as far as to say one is having a psychological episode where one believes they’re remotely viewing events in a movie… Such a level of “immersion” would require either hypnotism or some kind of drugs used in things like MK Ultra. And saying one is that invested in a story seems hyperbolic for the sake of reinforcing a word that was used and not agreed upon by someone else. Like, a movie about a meteor coming to destroy the Earth doesn’t… or shouldn’t make one turn the movie off and run down the street screaming bloody murder of how the world is ending.
Anyone can get emotionally involved in a movie. It establishes a connection between the character/s and said audience if it’s good. One usually also gets into an alpha state (or something like that) while watching a movie. And Heisenberg, I’m sure means, that these overly used sound effects snap him back to… or rather, away and out of the state he’s obtained while passively viewing the events of whatever movie he’s watching.
To other people, this will just be a small reminder of what you already know… That the movie is all an illusion. It’s slightly less irritating than an ad break.
Or something like that.

Alcohol, mostly. Or I sleep.
