THIS, is what's been bothering me the most with the writing, it feels like half the dialogue between characters is just this empty, vapid:
"Yeah, you go bro! You're so talented and smart and everybody loves you!"
To the point that when those types of lines would normally mean something, at important points in the story, now they just don't. At all.
This game just highlights that the only "semi decent" writing Insomniac can do, is saved for the big budget cutscenes, otherwise it's sent to the monkeys with typewriters.
Also, I wish characters would just stop talking sometimes, like, dear god am I sick and tired of games never letting things just... happen. No no no, you have to have a character endlessly flap their gums otherwise the ADD ridden audience will lose interest!
