good for you then, clearly other people dont like that and clearly there was a need for an article because it was so bad
Geralt commentary is also not perfect, especially repeating lines, but if he was like Deacon, he would comment on every flower picked, on every chest looted , on every sign and sword used in combat . Majority of the time his commentary is relegated to unique quests and context sensitive triggers , so lines dont repeat as much
"So bad".
You and other people liking it dont mean its good either. It goes both ways
100% agree. It really shows how unhinged and alone he is and I love it.
That's genuinely what's happening though, at least when I'm playing. Am I playing a different game lol? He repeats the same thing with almost everything he does, shoots, harvesting plants, picking up items, fuel, repairing the bike, etc.
But thats what he does?? I cant walk for 5 min before he comments on something
Then it would be a "hate it or love" it type of situation.
Yeah, I wouldn't really say "I like games with characters talking during gameplay." Is some sort of butthurt statement.
Hmm interesting, yeah no, that has not been the case for me at all. Maybe I'm spending more time wandering between activities? But, I haven't had much repetition yet at all. And I'm maybe 15-20 hours in or so?
I dont want to hear his ramblings when im in combat situation and zombies are a meter from my character, i dont want to hear him for the 5th in a row because im near an outpost. Lots of his commentary feels like filler, i want more methodical more restrained approach when it makes sense , when it is appropriate. You can do a lot more with less and it would be far more impactful
But what is "more appropriate"? That's such a relative thing to each person. Really this just about your preferences then.
not talking out loud when your near a fucking zombie, I would say thats approriate no matter the context.
All the time? No, why? I still have to play Days Gone and it is on my list for sure, but I hate silent characters in most games where it doesn't make sense. It was one of my biggest gripes with BotW, everyone talked and had a personality (especially Urbosa and Revali), while Link just stood there nodding like an idiot and reacting like a robot, I really hope they have him talk in future entries, I'm already tired of him being basically mute.
Huh? Plenty of weirdo silent protagonist advocates on this board
Doesn't make sense to you because you are not reading. Mute characters are a no-no for me, have them talk a little, only when necessary maybe, but mute characters are simply boring. BotW would still be a great game without Link, you could replace him with anyone else you could think of and the game wouldn't change because Link is a blank boring vehicle, I'd much have preferred to have Zelda as the MC. Characters who speak sparsely, characters who speak fairly often and characters who speak often. Don't give me mute characters if the NPCs will be talking like regular people.
Nobody talked about silent/mute protagonists though. You're the one not reading.
