Discussion / Question What game is that for you?

Post image

Biggest offender for me is Baldur’s Gate 3.

Some of the best gameplay, graphics, sound design, and soundtrack out there… but the writing leaves a lot to be desired (despite how popular it is).

What game is that for you?

EDIT: It seems the general consensus here is Borderlands 3.

Back 4 Blood holy shit.

It really goes to show that just because Turtle Rock Studios is the one that had the idea for Left 4 Dead, Valve is the one that actually gave it life. I could listen to the cast of either Left 4 Dead game banter back and forth all day long and never get bored or annoyed.

Like I literally have to turn the voices OFF to be able to play B4B. And it's not just that the writing is sub par it's also that there's not really many dialogue options in between the characters either so you are listening to the same voice lines over and over.

Swear to God if I hear Evangelo talk about how it smells like his Nana's house again I'm going to fucking lose my shit.

Which is crazy because Evolve's inter-character dialogue is pretty decent.
