Neddy Seagoon posted:There is a LOT of padding in those Worlds though, and some are almost certainly unfinished. Frozen has you running up the mountain three. Times. Because you get knocked down again juuust as you reach Elsa's castle twice. And that's the entire World, aside from a cutscene on the frozen lake. Arendelle is by far the worst level by a wide margin, to be fair. Even the other two "basically just the story" worlds play pretty well. Even Black Flag For The Arcade.

Oxxidation posted:in particular, it probably falls on voice director Bob Buchholtz, who's handled every Kingdom Hearts after the first game and whose itinerary is like a graveyard of wasted talent Ah, now there's a name I haven't heard in a while. I thought he retired from VA/directing work? The guy's a decent enough voice actor, he's done quite a few roles I've enjoyed but he's kind of a hack when it comes to writing, translating, and directing going back to his days on Digimon in the late 90s. Also yeah, as someone who was press-ganged into an LP of Type-0 that was literally just damnatio memoriae'd by the guy behind it as I was writing this post, I can attest that game had an AWFUL localization job.

Even Resident Evil's original performance had more umph to it. Barry's actor made not have known how to convey it, but he did on some level hope that it was not Chris' blood. David Boreanaz, though, that dude just read whatever and they yelled cut. The only good performance I can recall was Bill Farmer as Goofy, but then he's been Goofy for a few decades now.

I know he's notoriously hard to work with and a bit of a perennial Hollywood outcast but the dude loving killed it in that role and Richard Epcar, who's a drat good actor in his own right, just never brought the same charisma to it that Zane did.

I had always seen Valley of the Wolves cited as the reason why Zane was sort of blacklisted by Disney, due to controversies surrounding it. I don't think I've ever seen it substantiated, mind you.

Waffles Inc. posted:Glad to see someone else saying this, because it is this weird song and dance that the internet does every time KH comes up I think it's because Kingdom Hearts is just a little bit more ridiculous than the norm. Anime boys standing beside Disney characters is very unusual, but that's the point. It's a very strange crossover (although the latest entry is lacking in Final Fantasy as far as I can tell, I'm not done yet). Nomura's designs are still very zippery. But it's a lot of fun to dunk on Kingdom Hearts so all the goons out there are going to raise their hands and shrug, squealing out, "What is this supposed to be!?!?" because they have no imagination and suck.

There's all sorts of creatives who have ideas that will never get a lot of backing, great ideas but they won't get rich off of them. Often they'll find a way to get them published or distributed, but they'll get passed over from wider audiences because they don't have characters they already know and don't have production values high enough. Indie games with tiny teams, webcomics with an artist who's just starting out, who reads books these days especially weird sci fi, there's entire shelves of sci fi full of crazy worlds that won't ever get a CGI treatment. And these days effects have progressed so fast that shows and movies from before the year 2000 that DID have the highest budget are often seen as unwatchable. And yet Kingdom Hearts, a megabudget game about things you recognize is what I'm unimaginative for not appreciating the script for fully. I don't begrudge enjoyment of the game. I watch Kamen Rider regularly. That's a toy commercial, even Amazonz when it had blood and murder and bleak despair was a toy commercial. It's fine. But stop finding ways to be better than people who don't like what you like.

Haley Joel Osmett voicing Sora was a big deal for the early 2000's, and it's kinda impressive he's stuck with the role through to Kingdom Hearts 3.

I've seen three worlds of KH3 being played and so far it just seems boring. Woody giving a speech about the power of friendship to the dumb OC villain was fun but that's it. I was promised anime melodrama with Goofy and this game isn't delivering (yet)!

DeafNote posted:That sketch was alright. But the best summary of KH is still No he actually does it on purpose. He’s done it before for other videos. For example there was one video where he compared LoL and Dota graphics, he used modern footage for LoL in an empty lane with only two characters in it. For the Dota one he used 2011 footage in a 5 v5 fight with multiple heroes who have the ability to micromanage other characters. He used this as an example of how one game was visually clearer than the other. There was also an Assasin creeds video where if I remember correctly he recreated very hard to get glitches as an example of the game being fundamentally brolken. He’s a funny guy but don’t give him a pass, there are lots of examples where he either omits information or outright lies to make a point

These sound like jokes along the lines of the Smash Trailer that goes off Donkey Kong's cowlick and guesses that Jimmy Newtron will be in the game instead. But without having the video to look over I dunno, if you're not aware of Assassin's Creed having a bad bug filled launch I guess you can assume that that's just normal gameplay. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtvRaMPJWLs

They weren’t jokes, I’ve watched enough of his stuff to know the difference and also know I enjoy him as a funny guy and nothing else. He has a very good sense of comedic timing and pretty good editing skills to pull it all together. But when he does Dunkviews, those are his attempts at serious reviews which is something he stated he wanted to do. You don’t get to say that and then hide behind the flimsy shield of”it was all a joke man, why take me seriously”.

Dota 2 is visually super clear when you have a pretty standard handle on the game, even it's more in-depth cosmetics are most usually within theme for the character. When you've played the game for a little, no matter what the golem actually looks like, you know when Warlock is exploding a golem into the fight, you know what Undying's zombie tombstone comes out like, LoL meanwhile has so much poo poo that regularly completely changes the visual design theme of characters that it's actually terrible, including things that were just outright advantageous, like the dumb iBlitzcrank or whatever skin that people hated for a long time, because it made his pull-you-to-him fist move's model so much smaller and the effect a lot wispier.

I have no clue what LoL looks like since I never played it, but I agree with you that Dota usually had pretty clear gfx that weren't too hard to parse unless you had 9 heroes in a massive free-for-all with all their ults going off, and even then you still had the audio that clued you in too.

Is this it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjzgbZL12VI&t=109s I found him using 2015 footage in it but I'll be honest, I didn't know they were totally different games because the UI's completely different thanks to it being a Pro esports stream. Dude absolutely needed to be banned for what he said though, games aren't so serious that you need to go off like you're working on the final draft of your manifesto.

Frozen world is a mess and it’s almost certainly a result of being based off of Disney’s marketing baby with all sorts of red tape about what the developers would be allowed to alter. The rest of the worlds are fine. Honestly the whole “KH is convoluted nonsense” thing was only ever a meme until Dream Drop Distance when it turned out, shock of all shocks, that tying together countless separate plot threads with a neat little bow on them ain’t so easy!
