Yesterday I played the demo of the new game Dispatch and it is all beautifully written, but at some point, while presenting the team in-game, there was a casual funny line, pronounced by a voice off-screen, so without graphical support and I just burst out laughing (I was alone at home, so not pressed by social influence of any kind).
When I stopped, I realized how uncommon this has become lately. As a kid, I found LucasArts games extremely funny and I laughed more than occasionally, but this aspect of video game entertainment has been dying out.
When was the last time you actually laughed out loud while playing a game for something that was actually designed as funny (no Fortnite or CoD shenanigans stories please)?
Oh nice, that all sounds good to me. I was going to get it anyway since Obsidian usually delivers the sauce. I’m suprised whenever chuds can comprehend when Outer Worlds was woke. It seemed too subliminal to trigger them.
Did you play avowed? That was the first Obsidian game I’ve hesitated on
I did not play Avowed. I may get it on a sale, but OW2 is like the only game I’ve been waiting for. I think it may actually have been worth the money I spent for the prerelease, but time will tell.
