So apparently Special Edition doesn't allow the voice acting in the Classic Mode.  We can fix that. http://www.gratissaugen.de/ultimatetalkies/monkey1.html Gotta run via ScummVM, but that's all good.

RazzleDazzleHour posted:Hey so I have a PS4 controller I use for PC games, but the cord on it is so loving finnickey that if I move the thing at all while I play, it will disconnect, and then I have to go in and manually enable the driver again, and then also depending on the game re-enable DS4Windows. However, I LOVE the PS4 controller. Are there any controllers out there that are identical to a PS4 controller but have a much more stable wired connection? Not that my experience with Bluetooth has been flawless, but would getting a dongle be an option? One of my DS4s also has a really sensitive USB port. Sometimes takes a while to place it just right to get it charging.

Octopath Traveler's dialogue is so horribly flat and lacking in personality. It really makes everything in the game seem so much more boring than it needs to be. I can't really tell if it's a localization problem or a writing one, or a combination of the two. The game has tons of voice acting, so it's entirely possible an early draft of the localization got voiced before whoever the modern equivalent of Ted Woolsey is came in to polish it so that not every single character sounds like Generic RPG Maker Tutorial NPC. It's especially bad since the game occasionally deals with some pretty dark subject matter for a generic cutesy pixel art medieval rpg. It's incredibly jarring to have people talk in stilted overly-formal expository dialogue and then someone just blurts out "Now put your mouth where it needs to be, WHORE".

Jokes I didn't appreciate as a kid   Jokes that amuse me cause I'm still a kid  Hwurmp posted:it takes like two minutes to do Yeah the Grog section is easy. Collecting Insults + Responses is time consuming, because they oft times repeat the same insults or don't give you the responses you need. Took me like half an hour to get the responses together to fight the Sword Master without failing.

Waffleman_ posted:And then every game has to have a variation of the same gameplay loop in its first or second act. This is the real problem. The insult sword fighting is a great puzzle that manages to make it feel like you're actually fighting people in an adventure game, and then the sword master turns the mechanic on its head by having totally different insults you have to match the comebacks to. But then all the sequels after 2 felt the need to revisit it, in a worse version with an extra gimmick stacked on top of it. Culminating with the absolute worst mini-game in the entire franchise, Monkey Kombat.

ymgve posted:The new Assassin's Creed will apparently have insult fighting SING TO ME MUSE, OF VELOUR AND THE MAN the dooming sting of the slams that ruined so many the chumps and the bustas hurled headlong into gloom to sip bitter cola with the sluts and kinky-haired hoes, dollar store poo poo, not even brand-name; thus was the will of Zeus. Begin with the wit of that lord-- the Ultimate Hustler who descended like night upon the bright shores of unfortunate Troy where the Achaeans all camped. As the sun in his splendor, spangles his rays upon the folds of the sea when the day is just dawning so too was the light that came from the mouth of that merciless pimp, for nigga he had hella fine platinum up in his grill. And seeing the masses of Grecians, a full generation set for ten years in grim siege on the sand the Hustler rattled his cane, a thunderous funk and made known his will. "Well well well guess now be a good time to buy stock in coconut oil and cock rings since y’all look like you ready to storm Fire Island and start a pride parade. First time I seen a fleet of ships using they momma’s dirty drawers as sails. That ain’t no Mycenaean insignia, that just where she couldn’t reach around ta wipe. An do I see Odysseus sticking gettin rutty with that handmaid? Ima call Ithaca, tell em they all need to file a missin bustas report.” All through the camp, men fell transfixed laid out by the insults that poured like hard rain upon the wearied and weak. It seemed as a plague that ran through the ranks, a vast rippling breath like when the wind, blown black in the dusk touches the grain and withers the stalks and the farmers they gather what once was fine crop and set it to torch to weep at the flames. Mighty Achilles, a lion in temper, stepped onto the shore from his proud flanks flashed fierce indignation at the Ultimate Hustler, the man like dark wine all richly attired. When kings go out hunting, they bring with them dogs, tightly-haunched hounds with foam on their teeth. The pack is arrayed, and now catches the scent of a rabbit or stag and strains at the leash, their limbs at the ready, their eyes full of death, and finally their master loosens the rein so was the wrath of Achilles that long had lain quiet, now aimed at the Hustler and hot for its prey. “Whether you be a dark Ethiopian far from your home or else a sunburnt man from a sunburnt land, Achilles cares not. You now forfeit your life.” So said Achilles, and drew forth his spear, the heft on his shoulder the point all of bronze and, taking his aim, hurled it full force like a bolt from Olympus. But Mandingo was watching, god of the Dozens, and turned it astray. All there assembled, Achaean and Trojan, saw Achilles’ first failure and soon wicked Rumor, with her venom and bile, started to whisper that ain’t nobody choked that bad since yo momma try deepthroating a Titan. The Hustler boomed out his mirth. “Next time you wanna give me yo shaft, make believe I’m Patroclus’ stankhole and there ain’t no way you missin. Oh I forgot, Hector currently using that bitch as a hood ornament. Take him down to the kennels, he metamorphose into kibbles and bits. That nigga, he dead. And what up with that armor? poo poo’s tacky. Bet that breastplate come with a horn play “Lowrider” when you goosesteppin through the ranks. Ain’t it bad enough you got grease face? Been, what, twenty years since yo momma dip you in tha Styx, and the Hades EPA still tryin to clean the oil slick, declaring it unfit for animal habitation. My nigga Charon spark up a fatty, throw the match overboard, poo poo goes up like Mt Etna.” Mighty Achilles groaned like the ocean, let fall his arms to the ash at his feet. Betaken by sorrow, he sought out his tent and the drowse of his harem where black-visaged grief crept from the shadows. Like the waxes of Hybla it muzzled his mind, stopped up his ears, made deaf his heart to all the sweet pleas of men and immortals. Just at that moment, the figure of Helen, awake in the city, appeared on the walls. King Menelaos, the chariot driver, gnashed all his teeth and raged at the day she was promised as prize to craven Prince Paris and doomed distant Troy. She was spied by the Hustler. “poo poo, ain’t it the daughter of Leda and a swan. Bitch squirt up a douche, get a bowful of duck soup. That the face launched a thousand ships? They all musta gone looking for that most mythical of treasures, cure for dick blisters. Only time the topless towers of Ilium get burned is when they go take a leak, get funky discharge look like something Cerberus leave on yo carpet. Bitch been ploughed more times than the winedark sea. Yeah I droppin some poetical poo poo here. gently caress ya if ya hatin. Everyone heard Helen so tough and hangly down there, she legally obligated to have the Arby’s logo tattooed on her snatch. Priam still around? Get him out here. That nigga so old, last time he manage to pop wood, Pandora’s box just got some peach fuzz and Priapus’ balls ain’t even drop yet. This some brokedown city y’all got here. Couple thousand years, Heinreich Schliemann dig this place up, wonder what the hell the luddy convention was doin in town. All looking like somebody built a group home for Cyclops crackheads.” His counsel at end, the Hustler arose and took to the air in the form of a bird, feathers jet-black, leaving all stunned. Sometime a hunter when the race has been run surveys the beast his arrows brought low, admires the flank and the struggling faint breaths, and though its life is near gone strings one last shaft to take cold delight in an unneeded wound. So now the Hustler, in no haste to leave, flung finally a barb down into the field. “First I thought that wicker tinker toy was the Trojan Horse, but now y’all inside it, I see it just a raggedy-assed fruit basket. And yo toga look like a dishrag.” Tearing her hair, Queen Hecuba led her waxen-faced ladies in an ebon procession to Athena’s white temple, hoping the goddess would pity their plight, grant Troy gray-eyed mercy. Greeks and Dardanians, all there assembled, hearing the wail added their voices to the keening and crying and it is said that even Olympus covered its face for the great lamentation: “drat.” whydirt fucked around with this message at 15:43 on Aug 9, 2020 |

That's on purpose and in theory, a good thing. they break when there is stress on the connection so the port on the thing that is generally the more expensive of the two lasts longer. That being said ds4s, in my experience, are pickier than average

Mini-USB’s design led to the ports getting damaged over time, and Micro’s designed to put more stress on the cable side of the connection.

i beat the old republic. if it wasn't for the lovely MMO hotbar combat (a thing that is universally lovely, don't @ me), i would've given it probably a B grade, like hey. it's solid star wars adventures, even though all the quests are "go to X and kill Y, also an NPC might doublecross you". the main points against it are: lovely MMO hotbar combat, and also it's extremely hetero i think I'll stick to destiny-likes for any kind of MMO-ish experience going forward. i need combat to be instantaneous with button presses, no cooldowns, damage feedback by enemies, good feelin' weaps. basically everything most MMOs aren't... and i prefer stuff with stories anyway so that would rule out most MMOs not named FF14 or ESO. and then FF14 has hotbar GCD garbage. and ESO is elder scrolls so it's boring fantasy
