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.

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
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
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:
wasn’t the UIR supposed to be even more callous towards human life than the already monstrous COG?
Pretty sure that's just in-universe propaganda. The COG were the ones who used the hammer of dawn to blow up the entire enemy civilization and then destroy the biosphere.
Makes sense. At the end of the day, the protagonists are all soldiers who were following orders. I don't think any of them were ever going to *rebuild society much, they'd just let the people in command build things and go along with it. Also obviously we need another 6 Gears games so there has to be more chainsawgun fights.
At this point it's part of the aesthetic of Gears though, isn't it? Like how Star Wars can't get away from lightsabers and x-wings (Andor notwithstanding). The franchise is so managed by corporate that there's no room for originality, we just have to keep doing the same thing over and over again with slightly shinier graphics.

This game's dialogue sounds incredible judging from these bits :data-laughing:

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)
:yea:
Apparently there's a setting to adjust how much the main character and her bracelet snip at each other lol
immediately setting that shit to max :shrug-outta-hecks:
:joker-gaming:

HIRE ME FOR THIS! My voice talent is pretty much entirely surely working class guys.
Let's get you and Crime Pays but Botany Doesn't into a recording booth ASAP

I heard a very funny theory about the dialogue

gears of war fuckin slaps, and they did a much better job than halo continuing the series past the original devs :comfy-cool:
at least 343 managed to release MCC on PC, only good thing they did :dumpster-fire:
deleted by creator
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
Provided you can actually get the incredibly patchy co-op working. Seriously, it's so bad for 1 and 2 :sadness-abysmal:

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:
