not a knock on the voice actors, it's clear this is a director decision. anyway, "aggressive tutorial and hint system" has been done before in corruption, and it wasn't exactly well-received then. that they've made a more exaggerated version of it for beyond is so funny tbh

the not-chozo alien priest yammering at you just to say "collect green stones" and samus gasping in the most exaggerated way possible when she gets hit are also very annoying. all the voice work comes across as extremely loud in both volume and delivery

it's impressive how many hated NPC partner tropes are packed into the swamp and bridge sequence. only one that's missing is the NPC dying instantly when they engage enemies, causing an area restart. but slurms mackenzie has a health bar so i assume at least the dying part is possible

My favorite is the Disney cruise one where he spends a day on an island covered with flies, like eats a meal and spends most of the time batting away flies, and then goes on to talk about how the island's recreation area is disappointing when compared to the concept art.

Like. Ulku & Theo's storyline has some really thoughtful themes like "mocking someone for hating conflict is cruel" and "apologizing to those you've wronged is important" and delivers this message through time-travel shenanigans and setting one of the characters on fire. extremely goofy tbh

a video game review can just be the words poo poo pee pee over and over with a score of negative pi/10 and that would be fine. because it is a video game review. not exactly a sacred format

well, maybe it's more accurate to say all of PSO2 is insanely goofy but it's also intentional and enhances its messages and themes rather than undermining or cheapening them.

basically when i look at PSO2's strongest story beats--Ulk confronting Theo in EP2, Matoi confronting the Falz in both EP2 and EP3, the scenes after defeating the Profound Darkness in EP3--I'm struck at how OTT the emotions on display are, and how it comes across *as intended* and not insanely goofy
