I don't really find the idea of Internet influencers and meme-spouting assholes being the main antagonists to be all that entertaining. Everything I've seen of their dialogue is irritating as fuck, and not in a "Man, I want to shoot these people" sort of way (which is what I think they were going for), but more in a "Man, I don't want to play this game" sort of way. Had the same issues with Borderlands 2. But then again the head writer on that basically just put a bunch of memes in the game. ParanoidObsessive posted... My main complaint about the Layla games is that she and her entire team come across like people who would be spending all of their time on Twitter and Tumblr, not people who are part of a secret conspiracy that has been hidden in the shadows for a thousand years, influencing world events. Layla's researcher in Odyssey specifically comes across like someone who doesn't know how to interact with other humans without resorting to memes and references. And Layla herself is a blatant unrealistic slacktivist rebel. It doesn't make me more sympathetic to her and her plight as a character, it makes me root for the Templars. Same issue I had with the Watch Dogs games. The characters seem like they were written by 40+ year old creative executives who only know about youth culture through skimming tumblr, twitter, and reddit. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
