    So, let me get this straight. I’m somewhere that’s not what I would call r/chapotraphouse... I’m seeing freaking posters, and... oh yeah, I’m talking to an owl. Yeah, okay, that is something I do now. I do shitposts, report jacked-up raiders — I’ll probably lurk next.

    edit: for those who haven't seen this beautiful trailer https://twitter.com/Forspoken/status/1556679378892898306

      I expected this to have like a Danny Devito New Jersey accent and I'm disappointed it didn't. We need more comedic working class accents in video games, like Skelly from Hades

        HIRE ME FOR THIS! My voice talent is pretty much entirely surely working class guys.

        I unironically can't wait for this game to hit the torrent sites, a zoomer protagonist constantly marvel quipping over an eight hour fantasy plot sounds like a blast

        I don't know if the game will live up to the like five months of constant memes, or if it will run above 10 fps on my dated computer, but I'm looking forward to it

          Looking at that footage... do all triple A games just look like Marvel movies now? I don't mean just the dialogue, but everything .

          I hate cinematic blockbuster games :agony-minion:

            the true connoisseur would curse the name of buffy the vampire slayer instead

              I was specifically talking about the overall look and feel, and this doesn't look like a 90s TV show (that would be fun though)

          Apparently there's a setting to adjust how much the main character and her bracelet snip at each other lol

      I heard a very funny theory about the dialogue

      people clowning on Square Enix for having goofy "too japanese" dialogue; then SE says fuck it, puts it in wumbo, and goes full "too american" dialogue.

        I think they earnestly did try to make something that would appeal to Westerners, but didn't realise that constant Marvel-style Whedonisms are now seen as irritating and passé

        In terms of Japanese devs trying to make experiences that are more palatable to Western tastes I guess they at least did a better job than Tecmo with Quantum Theory

            Some Japanese dudes looking at a gameplay video of the first Gears of War for five minutes and going "This is what the gaijins like? Okay, I think I got it. Big ugly man wearing an entire scrapyard shooting at equally big monster dudes with huge guns from behind chest high walls in ruined cityscapes and also everything is dark and murky"

            As bad as everything in the game looks the worst part might still be the name, just... what the fuck, guys :lenin-confused:

                gears of war fuckin slaps, and they did a much better job than halo continuing the series past the original devs :comfy-cool:

                    yeah good point, without the MCC I couldn't have tricked my friends into playing The Library on legendary so there's that going for them

                    100% agree on all sequel complaints, the spooky hollow earth aesthetic was way fuckin better

                    that being said the cosmodrome section of 5 was pretty rad :stalin-approval:
