well it depends on your definition of cringeworthy but there's for example a huge difference between new vegas (good, from Obsidian Entertainment) vs. Fallout 3 (well, could be worse actually, from Bethesda). Cyberpunk feels quite mainstreamy in that regard (meaning its writing is not up to par to less mainstreamy RPGs). Well, if we're on the topic: The writing actually is pretty bad. There's a lot of talking without saying shit. I mean how difficult must it be to put some real character into the characters? Meaning some semblance of real backstories and not just blips about how bad everything is without really saying anything. argh.
- BoorishBears 6y agoThe talking without saying anything killed me. That and the weird way that V rarely uses the pronoun "I" or "we" It's not "I need help" It's "Need help" Not "We're going to have time." "Gonna have a hard time." Doing it sometimes is one thing, it's a manner of speaking after all, but for anyone who hasn't played it, it's more jarring than it sounds. I get the sense they were going for a quick talker vibe, but it just doesn't fit at all in so many places where they do it. It makes it feel like you're listening to the VA do a quick read through of each line before they actually record the line...
