It depends on the context of the game. In a game that looks like an anime I kinda expect unnatural or somewhat cringey dialogue, but even that has its limits (most of KH3 is horrid...). That kind of dialogue would be entirely out of place in a game with realistic graphics trying to tell a realistic story.

And since I feel this topic was made in response to Forspoken...the dialogue is just like Deadpool or MCU stuff, and with those it's hit or miss with me.

As a whole, probably. Though Disco Alysium popped into my head. Also other notables examples I feel, Witcher and Celeste story and dialogue I thought was really good

Runescape has non cringey dialogue across its 200+ quests
But I guess no voice acting helps hehe (at least for osrs idr if runescape 3 got voice actors).

For games w/ voice acting i thought Scratches didn't have cringey dialogue. That said there wasn't much talking in that game.

Just about any anime styled game has cringe dialogue imo, I guess it usually matches the artstyle. The game play might be good though and to me thats what's most important

I like video games better than a lot of movies or TV shows at this point tbh

I guess the interactivity makes up some of the difference.

High On Life, personally anyway. I really don't like the dialogue in that game.
