Army Of Two Dialogue: Rubbish
Army of Two is looking good. Pity it's not sounding good. N'Gai Croal over at Newsweek has had a long-standing issue with the awful dialogue offered up thus far by EA, and is now venting.
The problem isn't that Army of Two seems to have taken a more humorous turn than we originally anticipated. The problem is that it's not especially funny. It's juvenile, and generically so, as if cynically cobbled together from the collective unconscious of a focus group of 12-year-old boys.
Couldn't agree more. "I think you really hurt that truck"?? Ungh. If that's not fixed by the time the game hits the shelves, it could well kill it. I'd rather set myself on fire than listen to that inane "dialogue" over the course of the game.
EA, just get some writers. Or some better writers. You can spare the extra cash.
