First off, I’m very glad that the story has finally made it into the game. Being able to watch the videos while you wait is excellent. Unfortunately though, there’s a huge problem with the way the narrative is delivered in the most recent video. We get an incredibly dry press conference by Sojourn who blandly recaps the recent events. This is possibly the least engaging way to present the information. I’m not going to ask for visuals to be improved, I get that costs money and maybe Team 4 can’t justify that to Microsoft. But we have to be better than this if anyone but the absolute most diehard lore fiends are going to care. And I know actors and foley also costs money but if the budget for this feature is nil, than skip all of it and just put the text in the game instead.
I really don’t want to be discouraging here, but it needs to be said. This world deserves better. The stories and the way they’re presented need to make is care.
