The biggest problem with Mass Effect's dialogue

I'm a Groucho Marx/Terry Prachett girl when it comes to things that made me laugh so hard my sides hurt.

Some 'funny' moments in Andromeda are funnier than others. A few jokes didn't work for me (Especially some of the ones where casual Ryder is trying so hard to be a badass at the kett UGH). I ... actually found Liam hilarious, though.

Humor, even more than good writing in the other thread, is super individual.

Okay, but I literally cringe at Javik's mission in the Citadel DLC.

So dumb that it just doesn't work for me. Even though I adore Javik.

you have not played the game. Just read posts and learn before spouting arrogance, lies and nonsense. Yes i am aggressive.
Read and learn.
Also go out, leave this place, Shoo!
shoo!

Maybe there's another piece to it...

How about being optionally humorous.

Like in the OT where you could optionally be a complete a-hole to everyone except Kirrahe.

Or...*grits teeth* like in DA2 where you had altruistic Hawke, sarcastic Hawke and and a-hole Hawke.

I've played enough of it to know what it's like.

Well, Jason, I hope you remember that when people read the first 4 pages of your "book" and say "Wow, these first several pages aren't very good. I bet the rest of the book is just like this, so I'll tell everyone the book is awful based on 5% of printed work."

Shoo! Shoo! Go away. leave! Go pester other games you did not play.

First impression means little to people these days. Instead it's better to play it to 100% just to come to the same conclusion you would've 50 hours ago.

If part of it is rotten I don't need to keep eating. That bad taste isn't leaving my mouth. This isn't hard to understand - think of something you really don't like, did you spend 100 hours trying to flesh out your opinion on why you dont like it?

Does that not sound like an absurd way to live your life?

Wish I'd given up after 10hrs. Just kept going, hoping it would find it's feet and things would start to click. They didn't for me, unfortunately.

It is more detailed, however one doesn't need to go all the way to still come to a conclusion " I don't like insert name because of insert reason". I played the EA ten hour trial pre launch, I already had issues before the game came out with its progression system, the concept of hazards on worlds (cool idea but annoying how it's executed), the character creator, even part of the dialogue (and you could get a good few hours of nothing but dialogue in that ten hour period). The only reason to me to finish a game is to get the full understanding of a story. Stories can easily start off rocky, bland, boring, etc etc but then get better as it progresses or it could even be backwards where it's starting off great but then you end up with ME3.

books are the same way. If they start off not going into character details or expanding in the plot and is just "stuff to read", why should one think it'll get better? I've stopped reading various books because most likely that would just continue on with the rest, doesn't mean it will, but what's to say it won't? Time could be better spent finding the next thing rather than hoping that your current project gets better.

id be curious just to see what the responses would be had suikoden put 400 hours into the game but still says he disliked it. How many would say he's pretending to dislike it? It seems to be popular for people to do with people not approving of a game. "You haven't played enough to judge" or "you clearly like the game if you've played 100 hours". To me it's just a situation where you're always damned cause people don't care what you've to say. I've got 1,300 hours in destiny and that's the response I get from people, clearly my playtime must mean I like it right? It couldn't just be that I have 1.3k hours to strengthen my critique cause that's 1.3 hours to better understand it. Not to mention there are yourubers out there that record gameplay that people can look at. Watching or playing one can still judge if a cutscene is bad, or if what someone says is awful, etc etc.
