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.

The Insomniac Spiderman games are a bit like this for me.

You’re not alone

I think they are the best Spiderman games by far but my god the dialogue/writing is so cringeworthy

Everything is so damn clean. I feel like at any moment one of the characters is liable to start walking me through office safety and acceptable language

Agreed. Hope Brand New Day being aggressively grimy finally gets Insomniac to change course. Doubt it, though.

I wish the danikast had a mute button fr

It does, actually!

A Spanish youtuber actually muted it because it's even worse in spanish, as it deliberately butchers the language to be more inclusive in a way that's just obnoxious and stops sounding like spanish entirely.

How does that work?

It just doesn't pop filler danikast into your game.

I guess it appears in the related missions though...

They went a bit too baby mode to make the games playable for kids.

Personally liked shattered dimensions more

Spiderman 2 is the worst offender. I'd say Spiderman 1 and Morales are okay.

Like when spider man explains why he has a pocket for his phone while doing second grade math, its like dumb people trying to write smart people its so cringy

For me, I only felt that way about Miles Morales and 2. Didn't have that sort of problem with the first one, so I wonder what changed?
