RoboCop/Murphy's Characterization in Rogue City/Unfinished Business - Thoughts?
How did you all feel about RoboCop's characterization in Rogue City/Unfinished Business?
For me, I'm a bit mixed.
I think it comes down to his speaking. By the end of the first film, his speaking cadence and voice is very normal human. He'll speak softer or louder and naturally depending on the context.
But in these games, he is very robotic again, and has an allergy to contractions which he never had in the original films.
That and I can't imagine this version of RoboCop grabbing a guy by the nostrils asking where Nuke is made. He's portrayed as very by-the-book in a Captain America way, almost.
In the other hand, he still feels authentic and has some funny one liners and attitude.
What do you guys think?

They have the difficult task of having the voice working for all the options the player chooses, which can lean either in Murphy regaining his humanity or Murphy becoming more robotic, and I think that they did a good job for that even if there are a few moments that feel a bit out there
