Star Citizen is strange at times. Take this video:
I frequently find some things impressive and some things like "huh?" when I watch a Star Citizen video.
Like I think the senate building is impressive, and I love the music.
Then Bishop steps up to the platform. What's with his mouth? I can open my mouth quite wide. But I looked in the mirror and my mouth opened wide is about the same as his mouth talking normally. That just isn't right! And his hair just looks wrong. The rest is very good though.
But the speech, I don't know Gary Oldman. I know he's a big deal and he's front and centre of the list of names they reel off. I looked at his filmography, there are a handful of films I've seen that he's been in but his roles don't jump out at me, he wasn't the main man in any of them.
But I thought the speech was just bad. I thought it sounded more like generic politician than great war leader. I thought the speech was just boring, with weird pauses and stop starts in it. Then they all give him this huge ovation and it just doesn't feel like they earned that. It looks great when they're all applauding him, but it doesn't feel like it merits it. I don't know how the rest of you feel, I'd be interested to know.
Like, I honestly feel the reaction here is more believable and the speech more interesting:
I watched the video where they show you around the ship:
The opening I liked a lot. And I'm definitely impressed with the interior of the ship. But the characters are just boring. Delivering uninteresting dialogue in a flat way. That guy taking you around the ship, I honestly can't tell whether the face is just
wrong or the character is meant to have a disability. So while I enjoyed being walked through the ship, the characters were just uninteresting to me. Though I did like the woman you meet at the end. And it leaves me wondering, are these people voiced by some of their star studded cast of characters? Are these lines the final cut? It's really not working for me. I'm talking most games I've played with voice acting are better in that regard for me right now. Including stuff here on the site, heck, Wing Commander Saga beats Star Citizen with a stick right now in the voice work and dialogue department imo.
So I'm curious what the rest of you make of this stuff.
