Just finally got this from GameFly and finished it up today, and I have to ask:
Has anybody noticed how hilariously strange some of Rico's voice clips are in combat?
"Roll 'em!" (I think this was preceded by something about cowboys I didn't catch)
"Pop those tops!"
"187 on that motherfucker!" (what, has California been expanded to include SPACE? Universe-wide west side?)
Maybe these aren't as weird as I think they are, but I had a good laugh at these anyway.
Killzone 2
Game » consists of 8 releases. Released Feb 27, 2009
Take the fight to the Helghast in this first person shooter from Guerrilla Games.
Rico's Banter
Yes, some of his dialogue is downright stupid. In fact, Rico is all around a pretty terrible character.
"Isn't there some retarded ass banter about a sandwich at some point? I recall hearing that."no, i don't recall
I never heard any of his dialogue, i was listening to ice cube instead.
I didnt find rico to be that terrible, a little weird and a bit of an ass but nothing too bad.
I'm not a huge fan for Rico, especially in KZ2. He doesn't seem like the same guy from the first in terms of looks and sound. To be honest actually I don't care much for Sev either, Jan should have been main character once more, not some colonel who looks nothing like the first.
"Thankfully they said tehy're cutting out all his dumb-ass dialogue for Killzone 3. THANK GOODNESS! "
Im glad of that... they should use N. North!
Killzone 2 has some of the worst characters and dialogue I've ever experienced in a game, and I wasn't hoping for that much. It could have at least been on par with say Gears or Halo but sadly it was not. Rico's comments were typical machoistic nonsense, and the conversation about sandwiches was thoroughly scraping the bottom of the barrel.
" Killzone 2 has some of the worst characters and dialogue I've ever experienced in a game, "absolutely. everything sounds so forced and heavily sprinkled with 'fuck'. and the awkwardly long pauses between npcs apparently having a dialogue is super unnerving especially in a shooter. found myself waiting a lot during the campaign either for someone to shut up, someone to start talking, or some script to be triggered by something exact.
but yeah, rico's pretty annoying throughout.
I actually think Ricos terrible character is kinda neat - like he DOES suck and IS annoying and FUCKS UP EVERYTHING - but the fact he gets such a strong reaction from people - in my eyes just shows that if their goal was to try and make a 'good guy' character that genuinely was an unlike able asshole and genuinely was completely batshit incompetent, but that you had to roll with him anyways - then they succeeded rather well.
And i reckon Ricos actions at the end of the game reinforce that his disgust inducing manner is totally part of his character design
