SE, the puns are getting out of control

[omniwaink]

"Quake Me Up Before You O'Ghomoro". Really?

I mean, don't get me wrong, I love me some wordplay. And I can appreciate pop culture references as much as the next guy, but when every single fate or quest is some 3/10 quip it feels forced and lame, like the laugh track in a multi-cam sitcom.

And it's a trend that isn't even limited to just this game. _EVERY_ single video game review or news story has an unimaginative and retarded tagline. How many times must we read that Need for Speed is "crashing" into stores this April? Or that Spiderman is "webslinging" his way onto store shelves this holiday season? I don't even know wtf that's supposed to mean. It's lazy writing and annoying as hell.

Look, I'm not asking you to shun all the puns. I'm just saying it's not fun when you punish us with the constant use of puns. If you have a good one, then use it and be done. If not, I'd rather read none than be overwhelmed with a ton.

I love the names. They make me laugh. The sense of humor in this game is great.

I have yet to read all responses coming behind this one.
But as a first response this one nails it, hands down, end of discussion for me.

You're easily amused.

You're easily amused.

Better to be easily amused than be an insufferable, grumpy, grouch.

Anyone else feel like the forums just hit a new low?

I don't get it, should the quest just be named "Go Kill Titan, Again"? What's the fun in that?

I hope I'm not the only one who thought "Go kill Titan, again" is actually funny.

I'm getting tired of pop culture names too. Irl references makes it less "Final Fantasy".

I think it's funny because it breaks the pattern. "The secret to humor is surprise." Sometimes you can get a laugh just being deadpan when everybody else is expecting a jovial comment. However, if everything was along this line? Would only be good as instructions.

As for the thread as a whole: I don't know, what -are- you supposed to call 300+ quests and events? Sure, they can use less puns but... you have less characters than a Twitter message to make something memorable while adhering to the content. How does one do that besides references and puns?

Also, the starting quest is "Primal Nature". Seems they used up their non-pun allowance on that and "Galeforce Warning". That's 2/6 of the Primal quests that don't have puns.

New quest name caught me off guard really bad. Tears in my eyes hurt from laughing.

edit: Oooh I like Ice Ice Baby.
