Expect My Mom posted:learn japanese imo brb learning Japanese so I can fully enjoy my boy kiryu Deified Data posted:drat is it going to be refreshing diving into a Fromsoft game day one without worrying about what stats do or where to find upgrade mats and poo poo. To be fair there’s still that but it’s handled differently this time. That’s something that is really getting me hyped though. Every time I’ve jumped into a fromsoft game I’ve had an added element of anxiety with the early game stats. Even if they don’t matter I’ll still overthink it. It’s going to be great to just boot this poo poo up and start dying.

There’s still the question of skill trees because you can’t tell what the next block does until you unlock the one before it, so I will be filled with anxiety assuming my chosen skills turn out to be the ones that make the hardest boss ten times harder to dodge or something

Halfway through the game you have to climb several radio towers throughout the map and defeat an army of invading Europeans with your superior Japanese steel. At the end of the game you get a 10 minute cutscene with their general who stands extremely close to your face and explains that actually committing violence against aggressors makes you just as bad as them.

Huge plot spoilers below: The last level takes place on Mars, and at then you are put into cryogenic sleep to recover from your wounds after the final battle. The ending cutscene is then the opening cinematic to Doom 2016 as you awake to enact vengeance, again

I like the original language for games that are a period piece or very entrenched in the culture that language is from. Yakuza in English would be like the Godfather but no one has an accent. The Metro games sound better in Russian, the Witcher is pretty good in the original Polish (but the English is also great). I find it matters less to me in a jrpg where Japanese doesn't have much to do with the actual game. Yakuza is also fun in terms of noticing all the little stuff that doesn't translate well if you have a passing knowledge of Japanese.

All this Sekiro/Japanese talk has got me reminiscing on my first Soulsborne experience. I was working in Japan, basically taking some time off life to figure out what I wanted, and had gotten my first console since an Xbox 360 like 6 years before. I actually bought Bloodborne first (on the recommendation of the SA Bloodborne thread), but I got the Japanese version (cause it said it had English VA), but I had no idea that item texts would be so critical to understanding anything. I played it for a few days and gave up. A few months later DS3 came out and I decided to give it a shot, effectively making it my first real Souls experience. I have so many great memories of getting off work, grabbing some cheap beer, and just laying into that game until 2:00 AM every night. I remember spending like 3 days in the Irythll Dungeons, freaking the gently caress out at the jailers and and just praying for a bonfire. I remember spending hours slamming my head against the Abyss Watchers until I finally figured out their trick. I remember the first time I saw the Nameless King and thought "Oh I am just so, so hosed". After that I decided to revisit Bloodborne, and it was somehow even more amazing. I've always loved crazy otherworldly cult stuff, and going into it blind was just incredible. Killing Rom and seeing the Red Moon laid bare, struggling against Lady Maria for weeks on end (actually quit playing for like a month I was so frustrated), and the final frantic battle with OoK are some of my favorite experiences, in terms of video games and of life in general. While in the grand scheme of things video games are trivial, things like that are just one of the great parts of life you don't see coming. I know Sekiro, no matter how good it will be, cannot recreate that first-time Souls experience, but I'm just really excited to have something like that to tear into again.

The only real concern I have for Sekiro right now is its longevity. Not just total playtime, but I hope the game has some staying power and isn't complete on a single 30-40 hour playthrough. It's not like that's not a perfectly acceptable length for an action game, but I know I'm going to be wanting more as soon as I beat it and I hope there's something to dig deeper into.

I don't know what the surprise will be or how much exploration there is, but very early on they were talking about the game not being all that linear which says to me there will be plenty of reason to come back again. I'm not going to look at the video with all the upgrading and skill stuff in it but I assume there'll be reasons to play again on that front. Even if you can unlock everything in the game you may not use it all or whatever. Also it might just be super loving good and worth another go round.

I'm just saying I would like it to be a game we're still playing in 5 years and discovering new stuff in even then. With games being datamined weeks before release in this day and age, the only thing that's really ever knew is strategies and glitches that'll change things up. I'd prefer a game that's 15-20 hours with a bunch of branching paths that'll require multiple playthroughs to see, and just drat good gameplay worth replaying the game immediately after the credits finish. RE2 recently did this, 6-7 hours for one playthrough but it's so drat good that I crammed in 8 or so playthroughs within two weeks of release. On the other hand I got the Platinum Trophy in Bloodborne in a week because I didn't have gently caress all else to play or do, and I loved it but 60 hours (less at this point since I wouldn't be struggling as much) to see everything again would suck. Thank the heavens there's NG+ so you don't have to hunt down your favorite weapon or level your dude again. I can see wanting to have a 40 hour game in Sekiro, and if it is I hope there's some sort of New Game+ to keep key things so you can blow through the game easily on subsequent playthroughs.

Kilometers Davis posted:Ugh gently caress I’m so torn now. On one hand I love the English VA in these games but I imagine the tone will be just as good if not better in Japanese. It will also add to the feel of being ~in a foreign land~. If it's a game that is anime themed or involved heavily with Japanese culture it should be played in Japanese. Especially NieR, Persona, and Monster Hunter. Yorkshire Pudding posted:Sure, and I get the whole immersion/ambiance thing. But what exactly qualifies as a "good" VA when you completely throw out your understanding? I mean do you just like the tone, timbre, and cadence of the Japanese language? As someone who only understands a little bit of the language, yes. You know all those weird sighs and dramatic pauses in dubbed japanese games, those sound really natural with japanese VA cadences and all the weirdly stratified customary noises of deference and caution that are native to the language. This was always a thing, too, back when anime was hard to come by in the 80s and 90s in the US, because only on the rarest of occasions did english dubs do justice to the material, and subbed versions of series were always more expensive or done on the grey market by fans.

I think it is mostly Yakuza games that should only be played in Japanese. I can't imagine anyone coming up with English voices that could possibly match up with those cartoon characters in Yakuza 0.
