I Bet the Devs Saved a Lot of Time and Money...

what with implanting cringy memes in the dialog instead of hiring actual writers.

Remember rustled jimmies!? XDDD
I KNOW WHAT THAT IS!

>"In retrospect, things may have gone too far," said Harvey, acknowledging that the developers may have focused too much on referencing internet memes as opposed to other games. In addition, he noted, by the time Guacamelee launched this past April, games like Borderlands 2 made the referential approach "seem less fresh."

What happened, Harvey? You thought the memes were stale in 2013, but you put them in again in 2018?

lmao there's an entire section of the game just for you actually.

They probably didi it just to ♥♥♥♥ with the haters.

Imagine deflecting all critics of things you like with calling them "haters" in 2018. LOL.

I honestly don't care as long as the gameplay and level design is great

Do you really care that much about story telling and the story of a 2D plateformer?

To be honest, I do roll my eyes at a lot of Guacamelee's humour, but I think that's kind of the point. To an extent, it knows how lame it is.

And yes, I do roll my eyes frequently at the memes. However, I don't mind them quite so much as in Borderlands, as they're not presented in such an obnoxious way. You could still get a little snort-laugh out of the dialogue without knowing what the meme actually is (I had to look up "What are thoooose?" as I didn't even know it was a meme).

Having said that, I haven't made it to the infamous "Dank Cave" yet. That's going to be a make or break moment for me, I'm sure.

Let me complain about memes but then say...

IN CURRENT YEAR!!!

The game is getting stellar reviews, so it seems like a complete non-issue to me.

OP is gonna burst a blood vessel at the Dank Cave. :D

[Melodia]

Dank Cave best cave.

[TheShadowHatter]

LMAO I love the setup for this thread having gone through the Dank Universe just now.

I don't have problem with that, it's simply Guacameele brand of humor. 1 was like that and so is 2. Especially because both games set the tone from the start. It might even be unfitting to do differently at this point.

Guacameele is an oddly escapist series for me and the tone works for me.

[Brendover]

I thought the humor was once again amazing in this game.

[Sophtopus]

I dunno you, but I love the mad hilarity of this game

[Psymon²]

Imagine getting this angry about putting some quick jokes/memes into a game...
Hiring actual writers?? You have no idea what Guacamelee is supposed to be!!
Go away!

OP doesn't own the game, so is clearly oblivious to the DANKEST timeline, which was hilarious (just passed though it myself).
