optimally whether a game is 'anime' or has anime roots or is made in Japan wouldn't make a difference either way to whether it is a good game to play

Is there like an organized thing here where the whole forum discusses and votes on GOTY? Or just people putting out their own lists that no one else will read or care about unless they make purposeful controversial choices

wuggles posted:

I am going to be putting Persona 5: "The Royal" on my list for the second year in a row. Stux if you wanna fight DM me for my home address.

I'm playing Forza Horizon 5 a little on my $1 PC game pass and it (expectedly) rules. Need to play Halo and Psychonauts while I have the sub

I'm a little embarrassed because the first 3/4 of the year I spent almost exclusively on indie games, of which there were many and they were so good.

Now though I am 100% wrapped up in Forza Horizon 5, Rider's Republic and Far Cry 6. The opiate of the masses, but it feels so drat good

assuming you have a choice, is a white person choosing a black avatar an example of blackface (if a minor one)? Serious question

Looper posted:

what if you don't have a choice...

I'm saying specifically when you have a choice, you are playing a character of your choosing who theoretically (or for many people at least) represents in some way who you are. Although I guess it depends on if you are thinking of the character as yourself or you 'roleplaying' a character?

hatty posted:

This thinking is how you get less black protagonists

That's certainly not my intention. I just have a fictional black driver that I play in all my racing games and he always gets the same name and number. Originally I did it because I liked the idea of a black American competing in F1 or supercross, which are heavily white-dominated sports. I thought that would be cool. Then it kind of bled over a bit and now I often use black avatars even in non-racing games.

But then I started thinking about how maybe that's weird? I don't know. I'm probably overthinking it

I think it turned out it was the closed captioning for the dub with the inaccurate translation but the actual subtitles were fine

1 don't ever watch dubs, 2 of course the dub translation and the subtitled translation are not going to be the same, with the dub they have to manipulate the words involved so they can make it look 'real' (it never looks real anyways of course) whereas subs will be the more accurate translation

I mean I'm just guessing that's what happened, maybe the dub had it's own CC that was really bad but I'm thinking they just used the dub and the sub at the same time

The United States posted:

Subtitles have their own limitations, as in there are only so many words you can fit on a screen in a given amount of time, and while the space limit isn't as severe as it was in the standard definition days (it was real bad back then), you can still only expect the average viewer to read and comprehend so fast, so subtitles have to be cut down and abbreviated and get the point across as succintly as possible. If the dialogue is extremely flowery and poetic it may not be possible to get that across. Dubs have the limitations of time and matching the lip flaps as you mention, but there are times where they can actually get more words across in the same scene.

You can see how severe the space limitations were by looking at old DVD subtitles.

I can confidently say I can read anything as fast as I can hear someone speak it no matter how quickly they're trying to talk. It may be true that they cut down the subs sometimes for brevity, but it shouldn't be and I'd be annoyed if I ever knew that to be happening (if I knew it was happening then I wouldn't need subs though, would I?)

Sam, this is Cool Shirtman. For years after the Death Stranding I hid inside my bunker. I felt isolated and I didn't really form any connections with other people. I grew my own clothes and made my own food so I could go months without talking to anyone. But I started hearing about this Great Deliverer going around connecting people again so I decided to peek my head outside and see what the world looked like that you were travelling through. As it happens, a passing porter saw me and called out "Cool Shirt Man." I felt a sudden rush of dopamine, as if I had gotten 100 Likes at once, I was suddenly connected to humanity again and it felt amazing! With the Chiral Network you set up for me I can send my t-shirt designs to anyone in America and we can all share that feeling. It's like the threads in my shirts are the threads that are binding us together again. Thanks Sam.

Have you been wearing the Cool T-Shirt I gave you? It's no ordinary t-shirt! Not only does it keep you warm, but the print on the front is sure to put a smile on the face of any fellow porter you come across in your deliveries. 😀

Isn't making others smile the greatest rush you can feel? And it's sure to earn you plenty of likes! 👍

So please, Sam, wear my Cool T-Shirt and spread the love! 🙏

I picked up Cyberpunk for for sale, whats the goon recommended difficulty that isn't a walk in the park but not unfair?

Whatever the highest one is. At the very start of the open world section it's a little harder, so you can put it down a level or two for that maybe. But overall highest difficulty is the only one that present any challenge once you are a few main missions into the game

You can change it anytime though so just play around with it

Does live action bebop cover Mad Pierrot at all because hoo boy I can only imagine how terrible that could end up looking

Actually, does it cover any existing material at all or is it an entirely new thing, just same characters but new stuff?

It sure does, probably the weakest episode overall but it wasn't a total disaster. Honestly really loving surprised they chose that one and not the one with lady/man who served with Vicious in the war, that episode was really good I thought.

For the show overall you have to get into the Cowboy Bebop mindset, suspend your disbelief at the silliness and pretend you are still watching an anime.

Also sorry haters it's a good loving show and I'm not taking trash opinions from people who are only parroting negative takes from twitter, watch it or stfu imo

just started Guardians of the Galaxy, goddamn this better than I thought it would be. Iit actually looks graphically fantastic; kind of funny how Squeenix published this and Avengers. Hope they give Eidos the nod to make more of this stuff, they nailed the Mass Effect-lite gameplay and character interactions. I'm kind of stunned at how often a character remarks on the things I do i.e. go off to collect a thing, suggest the wrong thing, gently caress up a combo or make a decision that gets shoved in my face long after. The devs really cared about making it a fun experience----right under Spider-Man I think it's probably the best Marvel game in the last decade.

I really want to play this one. But even though it got favorable reviews and people seemed to like it a lot I'm convinced it will be a lot cheaper relatively soon.
