This this was pretty funny
I enjoy them usually, but this wasn't funny. Especially considering all the talk of the NPCs helping you solve puzzles, they could have done something great with that...
The best thing you can do to something you love is to roast it, and this was meh.
I didn't play it at all. I watch them for the fun content. They are usually better than this.Sounds like you just didn’t like the game and wanted them to trash it
Better than the actual video. Nice.My Wife said I'm not allowed to play Ragnarok until 2023. Maybe my Girlfriend will let me.

The writing in the trash Netflix produces is equally bad. Only some HBO shows have good writing. Most movies are marvel trash and GOW wins out over those movies because of its focus on character driven stories instead of the plot driven stuff we get from movies nowadays. Now granted, im sure there are great smaller indie movies with better writing but i dont expect girlfriend reviews to be watching anything other than summer blockbusters.I can't believe anyone could have experience of just great (as opposed to masterpieces) books or cinema or TV shows and would then say the writing in Gow:R is "brilliant" or something to that effect. Its basically above average writing in the grand scheme of things. For a computer game I guess its good-very good, but maybe we should be evaluating games up against great examples of writing in other art forms (mentioned above) if its to be become actually respected as they are.
For me, the problem in GoW is cinematography, its like you're watching a documentary or you're physically standing there yourself watching a bunch of cunts chewing the scenery, bumpfing on about Norse mythology things that most people have no reference or understand of, its like bad sci-fi/fantasy. I don't feel immersed in the story, just because someone looks really sad and is talking about their dead wife doesn't mean its good writing/story, you need to make the viewer care, the characters are boring and I don't care about their plight.
The way the back forth is written sometimes is pretty unrealistic and... right no need to just be a massive downer so I'll stop here:
I'm enjoying the game and the writing is good but its the performances and the quality of capture thats brilliant more than the writing itself, thats really really important in a game, but the writing alone, if you saw it on a page without graphics is not brilliant.
TL;DR - Stop exaggerating the quality of writing in computer games when its the same level as your average 7.5/10 film.

That said, the writing in this game was all over the place. Sometimes it was good, other times it felt like a marvel movie.
Finish the game and we can discuss the writing in the spoiler thread. I love the game but man I have grown to really dislike the writing on my subsequent playthroughs. A lot of marvel like quips and everyone singing kumbaya getting along like besties, and it just rubs me the wrong way. The first game felt far more reserved in comparison.100% agreed, I was referring to classic films and the best TVs shows of the last 20 years. I meant, just because right now (last few years, ie what most people are familiar with) the bar is pretty low doesn't mean we should start lauding things that are good-very good as amazing.
I suppose I should compare it with blockbusters in fairness though, since thats the target audience. I'm just grumpy after work, long day.
Marvel-esque quips infesting everything is a really sad reflection of the current crop of writers we have. I actually enjoy Marvel films (or did, anyway) but the way everything has copied the style has killed it stone dead. The lack of care in general around language is a major red flag and something that the everyday man picks up on as well (just look at the feedback re the latter season of GoT abandoning ye olde English for modern day TicTok speak). Sony don’t want to lean to hard in to the ‘common crowd’.Finish the game and we can discuss the writing in the spoiler thread.

I'm usually more forgiving of this for video games because of three factors:TL;DR - Stop exaggerating the quality of writing in computer games when its the same level as your average 7.5/10 film.
These two always felt like industry plants and they probably are. Blew up to insane degrees in just a few months and even got invited to E3 less than a year after they made their channel. The boyfriend was an editor for some bigger Youtubers and is actually the one writing the reviews which takes away from the fact this is supposed to a non gamers backseat experience with the game.
