She was boring in ME3. Also being with IGN isnt helping as they were quick to call most people here entitled brats.

I think it is her affiliation with IGN that is causing more hate than her... interesting performance.

Indeed.

Pretty much and the fact her character replaced an already well-established character in the franchise.

Diana felt shoehorned into the game. Only reason why I kept her around was as a war asset. If I was given a choice between her or Emily Wong, I would have gone with Emily Wong.

[Deltoran]

I was a bit disappointed with the lack of Emily Wong, but I wasn't upset with Allers or Chobot's performance. Yeah, nothing to write home about but at the same time, seemed pretty 'newsy' to me. In any case, what I am irritated with now is her comments regarding 'entitled' gamers and what not. Very unprofessional. If they do fix the endings, I'm not letting her character on my ship lol.

She worked so hard to provide a good performance yet failed so miserably and now Bioware fans are ripping her to shreds.
If an employee does a crappy job, I don't get pissed at the employee, I take the blame out on the idiot who hired him or her.
If anything we should be mad at Bioware for hiring such a talentless person to voice a worthless character.  We should stop being so mean to Jessica Chobot because even though she sucks, she still probably gave it her all.

Yeah I do. She was probably just excited to get into an awesome game. She doesn't seem so bad. I'm sure everyone here would jump at the opportunity to be in the game! I know I would!

Well Jesus this thread isn't exactly going to make her feel better.

Hell yeah. no one's complaining abotu freddie Prinze jr being Vega, but yet "OMG CHOBOT IS ONLY IN THERE BECAUSE SHE WORKS FOR IGN UGH" double standards.

The difference, of course... Is that Freddy Prinze Jr. did a good job and is actually an actor. 

Yep. I'm not fond of Prinze but he played his part well enough.

I can't play ME3 anymore because the ending is so bad.  Couldn't get through a second playthrough.  But I might go back just to kick Allers off the ship for being associated with IGN.

[TSgt_ShaneV]

Wow that was Chobot? I thought it was Snookie all this time. I guess I"ll cringe less when she makes a pass at Shep on future play-thrus....

Here is one thing I wanted to say to her. You can come along, but its likely to get dangerous. Everyone on my ship is a soldier first then whatever job title they bring along. Grab a gun.

[Slash1667]

For all the people saying they should have used "established" characters like Emily Wong or Kalisah Bint Sinan Al-Jilani I have a real problem with this. Mainly because they aren't established. They were in the first 2 games for a total of maybe 10 between the two games. So to me that argument is pretty much pointless. I'm 4 out of 4 when it comes to bringing here onto Normandy.

As far as Jessica Chobot herself. I don't know the lady and have no feelings about her one way or the other. She does have a point about whiney entitled brats. After following this thread all day I can see some that the statement would apply to. The fact that she is affiliated with IGN seems to be a problem for some people, I couldn't care less. If she were from, let's say Forbes, there would be anywhere near the uproar there is now. The only thing I'm looking at is what she did in ME3.

Her performance wasn't great, however for a first timer at doing this it was actually better than could be expected. It was also better than some of the ones that have been in the game longer. This is all I can judge her on. Using her character instead of the other two is Bioware's fault as is not expanding her character or using hit to better effect.

I'm not condoning whatever she said out of game but I'm not going to condemn her for it either.

And yes I still feel sorry for her. None of us would like having all of this venom shot at us would we?

no

you put yourself in the position of being even a minor celeb and you deal with the breaks.

Anything else is like a line-backer who complains they got tackled.

[Justin2k]

yes, i thought she was fine as allers and i thought her saying that entitled gamers were having a whinefest at bioware was pretty on the money.

Do I feel sorry for her? No. She didn't deliver, and it's not like what she was tasked with doing was all that difficult. She's playing a JOURNALIST. And she's a JOURNALIST in real life. Talk about whiffing a free throw.

That's why I'm not exactly sure why people think she did a bad job...

I didn't think there was any great emotion in her voice but I'm not sure this is a mark against her since really there is much debate among journalists in how expressive they should be....

I mean, the greatest newscaster of all times is Walter Cronkite and he was FAMOUS for his tone neutral delivery. indeed, what made his Kennedy announcement so moving was seeing the unflappable, monotone Cronkite with emotion in his voice...

If you talked to Allers just before the push to Earth, she does have more emotion in her voice as she talks about how her home colony Bekenstein got wiped out by the reapers...

[raider968]

I actually liked her performance, though I would have prefered emily wong instead.

[Documental]

She wasn't good in the game but I do feel sorry for the attacks that she's getting, no-one deserves that.

[appleyum]

Well I like her much better than Zaeed aboard my ship. Zaeed wasn't exactly chatty or friendly

The only thing it was missing was seeing public reaction instead of reading some update/number in the War Assets

I've got nothing against her or Diana Allers. It's just a cameo. Woopdie doo Basil!

[Gyroscopic_Trout]

I liked her.  There, I said it.  Only problem I had was that her only interaction with anybody was occasionally asking Shepard one or two questions, and talking with Traynor over the coms.  It would have been neat if she moved around the ship like other characters do, maybe interviewing squadmates or something.

As for her voice acting, I thought it was just fine.  I think people are holding her to some unreasonable high standard.

[Occulo]

Chobot as a person? The thing that sticks out in my mind is that she called the ending controversy a whine-fest when she hasn't even beaten the game, and that she apologised for it later and deleted the post.

Her voice acting was meh. The "Wars can be won or lost in the editing room, and this war needs to be won." part really made me cringe, though. Really?

[jbajcar]

I don't hate her in any capacity. But her performance was terrible and Bioware's decision to use her is extremely questionable and I think a poor decision. That's just me though.

I don't feel sorry for her because anyone that goes for a position that puts you in a spotlight, you better be ready to take the heat that comes with that type of job.

[Oakenshield1]

How much I care about Chobot's feelings:
