I can’t believe there is someone who popped the big long stick out of their ass and didn’t complain about chit chatty character. Finally

there is setting to minimize that if it is problem to you.
it is the same, as reviewers cried over that the game is easy while playing on Easy
read some reviews. man, it is so badly reviewed. like reviewers don't give a fuck, just quick wrap up and write review.

played few hours now. dialogue is normal, more than anything, it is feels more alive and natural and isn't standard like they used a template and isn't sterilized.

That's why it's been over 10 years I stopped considering reviews. I doubt that 90% of them play more than the tutorial, if at all.

Complaining about a chatty character seems so off, silly, petty and whiny to me.
What do people expect? That a character that is alone keeps quiet the whole time? God forbid devs try to give their character some personality.
As if the whiners wouldn't make some commentaries if they were in the character's shoes.
And there is a setting to tone it down if you don't like it.
There's literally no reason to complain about this.

not very different from marvel movies the dialogue seems to be the least of the problems and I’m fine with that tbh

It does seem like Whedon written dialogue, that is true.

 

[Vertigo]

The marvel dialogue is horrible and embarrassing. There is no defending that cringe.

Doing some work here... Always interesting to find quirky "certified by metacritic" reviewers.

Just some interesting cherry picked results. Some reviewers are naturally harsher on all games, but I find it funny the comparison between these 3. From what I've seen, I'm not disagreeing with Forspoken's scores, but Halo's ones for the same websites are usually very funny (especially putting that train wreck above Horizon, for example).

Halo and Cyberpunk scores are unacceptable. Those games released either incomplete or broken.

Forspoken is not published by MS or Sony. Reviewers are shills. They’re rarely going to shit on games published by hardware makers.

Are you just obtuse or purposefully ignoring the big (CAMPAIGN) tag against the Halo reviews ?

The campaign is fine, it's the live service and MP content things that are the issue.

I added the campaign tag to the text myself, you moron.

"Forspoken has annoying dialogue"

 

[adamsapple]

Then why are you whining about it ?

The games campaign has been very well regarded.

Everyone knows the issues and shit it gets is for the lackluster MP stuff.

you gonna lose all your hair trying to reason.

I'm not trying to reason, there's no point in reasoning with ambassadors.

 

[adamsapple]

Your point couldn't be any more clearer lol.
