When the ranger picks up loot and it is being opened

Bungie kind of did this too.

Granted, there was never the pretense that Joe and Jason were character actors, but their conversation was such that no one ever talks like that naturally. Whether spoken by a human or a game character, it sounds really awkward. I miss the show, don't tell style of the Halo 2 reveal, even if it was just smoke and mirrors.

Yeah, I can understand that they are acting like two guys playing a game. But for me, it was all about feel. I know, just from watching that that the voices aren't from the game. It's obvious that they are showing off the game to an audience. That was not at all apparent in Anthem, in fact it actual felt like it was supposed to fit into the in game dialogue. That is what truly bugs me the most.

It was weird, and not what I was expecting from Bioware. It was like Spartan Ops--dude bros in Halo were not a good fit to me. In Gears, though, it kind of works.
