Anthem (Gaming)
Looked like a really cool game. The one thing that completely destroyed it for me was two lines that blew my immersion out of the water.
After seeing an unexplored cavern
1. "We should do that later with Kim"
"Yeah, he could use the XP" (not abbreviating, direct quote)When the ranger picks up loot and it is being opened
2. "ahhh come on, be something good! ahh yes, Jarra's Wrath!"Both cases gave me a "WTF" moment of wondering if it was the characters talking or the players. After the trailer all I could think of was that these characters were pulling a deadpool and knew they were in a game. It completely destroyed the rest of the potential story line and atmosphere of the game.
Really? It's classic E3 marketing cheese. When I heard those lines (along with one other which I don't recall), I thought to my self, essentially, "said no player ever".As far as I can tell the only ingame character speaking was the man in the beginning who "hired the wrong people".
It all sounded in game to me. If it wasn't in game, they really should be better at letting people know that in a trailer, whether it's live or not.
