The player character's dialogue is annoying and obnoxious

Forza Horizon Forza Horizon 5 FH5 Discussion

I swear, after every new Horizon Story, more and more do I think that the character is just a child in an adult’s body…

I mean, just listen to this overenthusiastic British manchild. Everything that comes out of his mouth is obnoxious and cringe. Other characters are trying to say something serious while the player character says the most corny, cringe-worthy garbage known to man.

Every time they talk, I just want them to shut the hell up. The male voice is awful too. It’s not at all pleasant to the ears. I honestly prefer the days when the character just didn’t talk, and when the games had minimal dialogue in general. PGG can’t seem to get anything right in that department and I’d rather they just stop trying if this is what we get.

Disabling voice volume is the canon way to play.

And the inexplicable absence of a SKIP button adds insult to injury.

I miss the Midnight Club: LA protagonist. The guy was stupidly charismatic and confident, but the game doesn’t take his behavior seriously and you can really enjoy his character if you do the same.

He also, you know, has a competent voice actor that doesn’t sound like a British man who never hit puberty

If only they could have one of the male protagonists voiced by someone like Sebastian Vettel. He’s cool and I doubt he’d need a script. Just let him respond naturally like the racing driver he is. :smile:

Then for people who really aren’t into any of the sizzle, clothes and fancy stuff could choose Tony Stewart.

Kimi Raikkonen is the only viable option for a driver character voice actor, period. /s

If there was a racing game with a character voiced by Seb, I would buy it just for that.

Loeb? Bourdais? Ogier? Buemi?

No, no, no. Only the Iceman will suffice:

The E rating is the problem here. Anything more suggestive than what you’d hear on Sesame Street is at least an E10.

Actually, if PGG did a “Sesame Street” expansion, Ernie and Bert would get separate bedrooms and Oscar would get a hip loft instead of his trashcan.

Oh crap, did I just give PGG the idea for “Sesame Street Racing”?

Make it Clarkson and/or May for me.

It taken you a year to come to this conclusion?

Well, if it wasn’t on the short list before it is now. Don’t worry though, I hear Forza Mario Kart is still the favorite.

Rami “this here’s a vocho”

Character “it’s a Beetle you blithering idiot “

Yeah I like the Clarkson idea.

James Corden wannabe sound alike, your fired.
More from Clarkson please.

Saying things are “cringe” is worse than any inanity I’ve heard my character say.

Be better if he said things like
“I started to realise that being impolite saves an awful lot of time and costs you nothing”
And
“I don’t understand bus lanes. Why do poor people have to get to places quicker than I do?”

GENIUS!!!

Imagine your character describing cars in a no nonsense way
“I’d like to consider Ferrari as a scaled down version of God.”
