XDefiant players call on Ubisoft to remove “most annoying” feature

Ubisoft’s crossover shooter XDefiant recently hit open beta, giving the community a chance to share their feedback on the game, for better or worse. One feature in particular is attracting ire: the in-match commentary, which some fans describe as the most annoying feature they’ve encountered in any game.

Granted, automated in-match commentary is nothing new in gaming. Games like Team Fortress 2 even make it part of the appeal, injecting the world with a level of depth and personality through intelligently written and well-delivered voice lines. The trick is striking that balance of practicality and entertainment value, but it seems like XDefiant‘s take on this mechanic falls short of both.
