The AI buddies are much more annoying and cringe than they are anything else. I don’t need to be told I picked up a weapon every flippin’ time, and having someone congratulate me for literally everything I do is really annoying. Jeff already exists for a reason.
There was a “unequip” button in the preview but it would just default to Butler. I fully expect this to be fixed at release since Spartan chatter already has a toggle (which also didn’t work in the preview) but thought I should at least mention it, and see if anyone else feels the same. I don’t like the AI, sorry to say that they do in fact elicit feelings of cringe in my innermost being. Just don’t force them on me, plox and thabk you.
Painfully annoying AI.
Me: Pick up Pulse Carbine.
AI: You picked up a Pulse Carbine.
Me: I know, I’m not senile yet.
Me: get a kill.
AI: You’re quite deadly with that.
Me: Just as deadly as I was the last 5 million times?
Me: misses 50 shots and finally get the kill
AI: Great precision.
Me: STOP MOCKING ME! QUIET!
The only useful feature with the AI is that they remind me when power-items spawn, and I don’t mind if they tell me my objective, especially for new players I’m thinking.
None of those are completely necessary, but if I don’t get reminded about the power-items and others do, I loose an advantage. If the AIs didn’t exist at all this wouldn’t be a problem, but it is what it is.
I would like to be able to customise that my AI will and won’t talk about. If I could set it to power-items and objectives only that would be great.
I think the AI concept is awesome again we only saw a few of them.Keep that in mind. I think we should keep it but that’s my opinion, I love the concept.
I think there will be a setting to disable the different voices in the game.
