So can someone who has actually played this tell me how the dialogue compares to Deathloop?
I am currently playing Deathloop for the first time (got it on sale) and its mostly okay, not great, not terrible. But one thing that really makes me despise playing it is the really corny, cheesy dialogue.
And it's not in that well-written corny way (for that, play a game like House of the Dead: Overkill, which unironically has EXCELLENT quips and one-liners and is generally written quite well, which I didn't expect from a fucking House of the Dead game), it's more the modern Marvel "I'm gonna yell half-assed one-liners because I'm a BAD ASS!" way, which just comes across as obnoxious and stupid.
After getting to a mission and having my character make a """"witty"""" comment about trains, I was seriously considering quitting then and there.

Wow, absolutely no fanfare over this releasing at all. I had no idea when it was coming out until it was already out. Shows how much confidence they had in it to spend no money at all on marketing.
It was nice knowing you Arkane.

Eh I actually like the fact that there is no takedown animation from stealth and instead it's just a normal hit. Way better than DX HR and MD where everything stops just for Adam to do his over the top bullshit. Anyway this is probably the only good thing about this game.

To be fair (not that this game deserves it), you can break the AI in pretty much any game if you play them enough. An isolated few-seconds clip isn't enough to say anything other than kicking them while they're already in the dirt. Which I fully support doing, by the way.
Seems someone went to the crowbcat school (cringe) of game analysis
Pfffft that's a paid shill if I ever seen one!
The ACG video review is pretty based. They make this thing look god awful.

The review from gamespot actually is the only one so far (i think) that mentions the lack of imsim elements, options and overall lower quality of the game when compared to previous titles. All I can say is .

Also gives it a 4 after calling the studio toothless.

I remember being amazed that you could flush toilets and pay strippers to show boobies in Duke Nukem 3D. Turning on kitchen sinks aint that much of an inovation tbh fam.
Anyway, things turned out as expected. I am just amazed that someone actually paid 70 € for this garbage, but hey - I guess it shows the economy aint that terrible after all. Incline.
