That sounds just awful. There are better computer generated voices being used in youtube videos.

I felt like I was watching Star Wars Phantom Menace when half the movie was boring conversations about politics and treaties and trade federations. Watching this clip I dozed off briefly. It was boring and lifeless. And if this is how quest conversations are gonna be, it's a major turn off to most people. I don't want to sit and have to listen to, or watch, a 20 minute AI dialogue with each other just to pick up a quest. That being said this "game" based on what I have played has far larger problems than this, and those problems will chase away potential players before they likely even reach this point of long drawn out quest dialogue.

Everything these guys do is just so shockingly misguided. The characters are voiced by Siri, and the graphics aren't even as good as recent City of Heroes Homecoming content.

I would question the graphics I think its as good as CoH, but the voices are rather wooden.

The graphics are exactly as good as original CoH (from 2004), but not as good as the newest things they've been adding since Homecoming took over. They're not even as good as the zone refreshes that were underway when NCSoft shut the game down.

Not the best, but they are still better than the voices they had in the trial version I played. Any improvement is a good sign.

The graphics aren't as good as those in CoH in many ways. Some aspects are probably technically superior but they are largely aesthetically inferior.

On the bright side the voices in this video are actually far superior to those in the version briefly available on Steam even though a bit wooden, so that is actually looking up.
