Yeah, basically the reason I stopped
I still crack the joke that when they release a 'Harry takes his meds' edition, or 'bat to the back of the head' edition (to make all that internal noise drop to a minimum), then I'll play it; I remember starting the game, going through three novels of information before Harry finally went downstairs before going 'nope' and shelving it indefinitely.
"Reading" never harmed anyone, but with the way everyone talks about it, you'd never know. You played the first Mario level, ran into the enemy, and said, "fuck this." It's your life, do whatever you want. The "internal noise" is what makes the game the game, though. I can't imagine thinking it would be better without it.
