I was really looking forward to this game, but movement is glitchy, load times are long, the colour pallete and environment is garish, all of which would just be a niggle, however its BORING utterly BORING the dialoge is inane, mostly tripe, monotone and theres just far far too much of it. I'll put a caveat in here,
if you think the office or jack dee boring sitcoms are funny or even the film lost in translation then im sure youll be in hysterics but the humour here is dry and repetitive almost like a brummy attempting a remake of hitchhikers guide. Skipping dialogue is rather glitchy (XBOX One), the main characters weapom seems to be up by his ear and just doesnt seem well placed, there is no way to park your weapon say for walking around a village. Walls seem paper thin, enemys easily lost in the background textures, enemies seem to be able to hit you through some boxes and other cover, respawns often face you toward an exit requiring 2 more long loadups to get you back to where you were if accidentally activated, the writing is cluttered and small and not very clear against the background colour of menus , the tutorial is terrible, theres little information as to what the hell figures and stats mean. Combat starts terrible but luckily improves (apart from the hit through cover)..... But again the boring slog through the tripe dialogue was the deathnell for me, its just not very interesting and the humour wanes quickly. If the pointles chatter was halved and the actors actually had some charisma about them i might return but at the moment it just feels cheap, try before you buy. Theres a lot of talk about a direct comparison to fallout vegas, ive never played this particular installment in the fallout series, dont think i will now. Overall, largely mediocre, there is a good game dynamic in there but the dialogue kills the momentum
