    SE, the puns are getting out of control

    "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.

    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?

    Always remember the Silver Rule:
    "Treat others as they treat you!" ...or something like that.

    The names are awesome, do not take them away.

    Edit: I just thought of something to add!

    Airplane! references!!! They should totally put Airplane! references in!!! "I just want to let you all know, good luck, we're all counting on you".

    I thought the corny names were intentional. I find them funny, lol.

    Some of the people are really talented in making up "problems". You must have a perfect life to worry about something like this.
