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:
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:
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:
