Eternal Darkness has some repetitive word usage. I thought it was funny when that one woman kept saying "Karem" over and over. Then there was "The war to end all wars changed the way mankind looked at war." FO pointed out that the police detective at the beginning of the game uses the word "pleasant" or variations thereof three times in about a minute.

"Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood."
