The new Aussie Apex Legend is amazingly not horrible.

Post by Deef »

I knew the new season was bringing a new character, and that he had something to do with explosions. I had no idea they went with an Australian character, and having seen that they did, I was not expecting it to not be completely awful!

The accent is obviously played up, but they've managed to actually stop while it's still in the realm of entertaining, instead of sliding into the usual cringe territory I would have expected. It's fun, even how he says "here" ("Medkit heeyah").

But it's the language itself that really wins me over. Respawn have paid the right people for this one because the colloquialisms aren't 50 years old, nor 1 year old with whatever's trending... they're solidly on point. Seriously the word "faff" is used correctly. "Serenity" is in there, yes, as you imagine. "Cheers big ears". "Wobbly". And so on... Damn I enjoy hearing this guy in the game. :D
