I've just started playing Rise of the Tomb Raider and everything is all well and good, and as expected in a character-driven singleplayer game, there's a lot of commentary from the lead.
Plenty of games do it - Tomb Raider, Spiderman, Uncharted, Horizon - and it's fine. But I noticed that when I hear Lara's voice, she's actually speaking out loud. Why! Who does that? I'm not just overhearing her stream of consciousness, and it isn't just the odd verbalised thought, it's constant, out-loud chat.
You'll just be walking around like this:
And she'll be muttering to herself. I'm not sure about the rest of you, but I generally don't talk to myself for hours at a time and it really gets under my skin when I see Lara bathing in the sound of her own voice.
What petty things grind your gears?
