Playing Yakuza in English is a crime because you don't get to hear Kiryu say "oh ho!" after he eats something.

NoEyedSquareGuy posted:Never had a PC that could handle it until recently and I played through the base game and DLC about a month ago. Went into it almost completely blind and I respect CDPR for taking their dazzling neon future setting and making maybe the most depressing game I've played in the last decade. There is one ending in particular that is loving brutal when you hear the voicemails over the end credits. Absolutely agonizing.

Last Celebration posted:Cyberpunk is just straight up a TRPG tbf. Never played it but its slang in the anime didn’t sound any goofier to me than, say, Clockwork Orange’s. Yeah but you're supposed to think Clockwork Orange's nadsat or whatever it was called was goofy. I don't think you're supposed to react that way in Cyberpunk.

I think any attempt at created slang that is remotely coherent assumes you're going to find it kind of dumb because slang is kind of dumb but because it develops naturally we just accept that. If you're thrown into a familiar culture but with completely separate slang it's going to sound dumb because you haven't had time to accept that yeet is just a thing people say.

I thought preem was a good example of future slang tbh. The slang for "good" = "preem" (as in, premium (expensive)) ties well into the general themes of the game of everything being devoured by commercialism. And choom is fun to say.

'oomf' on Twitter is the primordial version of 'choom'

Reminding me that I really need to pick cyberpunk back up. I played through the part where you go to the graveyard with Johnny, but fell off as the big revamp was coming and haven't gotten through the intro again since I heard it was better to restart your playthrough

Yeah it bangs. Count Zero is weaker but still OK, Mona Lisa Overdrive is good but not as good as Neuromancer. Thanks,.

Yeah, the first is the best but they are all worth reading.

When slavs learn english they tend to pick up on the U being pronounced like A the last. So when me and my friends were playing Shadowrun on the Genesis/Megadrive we would read the chum/chummer as choom/choomer.

As people say; Cyberpunk didn't get outdated, it just came true. Randalor posted:Hey fam, I think it's pretty sus how mid you're being on slang. Aren't you cheugy anymore? The funny thing about slang is that you can usually figure it all out by context pretty quickly.

muscles like this! posted:It is fun in Dragon's Dogma 2 to go back through an area you've been through before and see the slowly rotting corpses of the giant monsters you've killed. That's cool. I hadn't noticed that, but I did notice if I'm being really thorough in a cave or dungeon, and I loop back around, monsters I've killed will have flies buzzing around their corpses.

Hell, I’m still not really up to date on a lot of modern slang. “Bouji” in particular confuses me because, like, if I’m gonna call someone stuck up I’ll just use the full word (bourgeois) to convey my full contempt.
