Yes, but it gives you an opportunity to hit him from behind and you can just shoot the drat thing and explode it in his face. That fight a has a lot of ways to tackle it which is why it's like the best RE boss fight

On the other hand, 7 minutes is all the time he has to play with you.

deus ex's voice acting is interesting, apparently the voice actor for jc denton once said that he was surprised when he kept getting told that he was putting in too much emotion and that he had to tone it down

and also over-the-top performances aren't the surefire method of comedy

deus ex's comedy comes from how monotone and underplayed everything jc says is

i think in video games im slowly swining around to wanting everything to be dramatically overacted like it was a stage play, because games are inherently ridiculous
I actually read an interesting article one time (which I have since lost) about how Japanese video game storytelling is more informed by traditional Japanese theater verses Western (read: American) games being more closely modeled after movies.

The latter wasn't a huge surprise but the former was very interesting and made a lot of sense pretty much immediately.

dishonored is a game where i'm not sure overacting would work, the problem with it is that some of the voice acting in it is kind of wooden, mostly within the supporting cast, but at the same time i think putting too much into it would mess with the game's strange, dreary tone

Yeah.

The article itself was mostly concerned with video games, but the more I thought about it the more I felt its influence in films and manga and such.

i think the worst voice acting in dishonored is when you talk to piero. he's supposed to be a sort of awkward inventor, who even later turns out to be kind of a creepy peeping tom who doesn't know how to talk to women, but whenever you talk to him he just comes off as really emotionless, and just sort of awkwardly putting emphasis and, pauses, at odd points, in his lines.

like, the actor kind of gets how he's supposed to come off, but he doesn't really commit to it in the right way

This, however, is another matter entirely.

It is okay to be a jerk to Zep.

Also that blog makes no mention of the Titan's rear end, as far as I can tell from a quick glance.
