10->''"[Cogburn] is so clearly [[MayTheFarceBeWithYou ripped off C-3PO]] that at one point Creator/MarkWahlberg says to him "Oi! C-3PO ripoff!" -- because Creator/MichaelBay's idea of "funny" is to do something profoundly stupid and then point at it and say it out loud."''

31->''"You see, the more the game tries to contextualize everything, the more these questions pile up. But it clearly wants you to think about them because… [[{{Infodump}} it keeps presenting them]]. If something isn't readily apparent in a cutscene, there will usually be some form of [[BuffySpeak addressment]] in the completely optional and quite missable Egg Memos. The game has a '''constant''' compulsion to justify its own writing or presentation, which… I mean… '''kinda''' lampshades that it… isn’t good."''
