I always enjoy flowers, Kobe has started feeling a little forced with his color commentary, but I enjoyed the cast overall

Curious what you mean by forced? Thank you for the feedback.

Maybe forced isn’t the most accurate of word, but sure for some feedback. To preface, I really don’t mind when the cast goes off topic - especially when players are farming up or waiting for the next objective spawn or whatever. But for this game I felt like you guys were on school theme, then committed to it like really really hard, and for lack of a better word it didn’t feel natural, thus, “forced”. Also sometimes I notice in your cast you change up your voice - lower or higher pitched - for any number of reasons, or do vocal fx. For me personally that comes off as forced sometimes. I’m closer to being indifferent on that than disliking it, but I definitely don’t like actively like it. (It’s not even a professional type thing, i don’t mind more casual casts. I just think of it like unnecessary, analogy being when a streamer forces an outplay rather than just not.)

One thing I really enjoyed on the game was the 300 spartans flavor. That was pretty seamless and added a lot of fun to the game.

Just my personal opinion and I’m sure lots of people would disagree with me.

I really appreciate you taking the time to write this out for me!

I am definitely taking a look at removing or reducing the amount of voice change moments and I definitely recognize that this game was really packed with a lot of the tangential commentary rather than just a couple one offs as is more common. I'll continue to iterate and strive for better.
