I occasionally watch Bricky’s videos here and there, and I thought this one was a cool one to share. I was curious what his take on the game would be since the only thing I knew about it was that it has AI voicelines in it and that Bricky also dislikes that kinda stuff. He spends almost all of the second half of the video talking about it, how it was used, who pushes for it in the game’s studio, what the studio’s claims are, etc, and seemed like a solid take overall.

    I don’t think it’s only used for callouts. The Traders are 100% ai and they’re really very very bad. Lance is ok because he’s an android, he’s also oddly the one with the most personality out of all of them. The others are dead fish.

    I’m still annoyed about callouts because they’re not specific enough. “Door” is fucking useless. It should say “Closed Door” and “Open Door” based on context.

      Yeah that’s what I meant with it being shitty if used on the characters. He didn’t show examples of that in the video only of other voice-lines he thought was rather weird and off-tune, but I’ll take your word for it. I’ll take a look on youtube later to see how bad the traders voices are lol.

        They’re the same as what he showed. Those voices are the traders but that’s a couple of the things they say in-game over comms. It’s just as stilted and bad outside of those ones.

        Celeste is the worst.
