According to a Forbes article published in January 2015, the developer has given up on the project, and plans to refund backers.[18] However, on January 20, 2016, Pelloni denied this claim as he stated via Kickstarter that he had not permanently stopped working on Bob's Game, and had been pitching the game to investors and publishers, to no success. Pelloni cited an unstable living condition and extensive re-writes to the game's code as additional reasons for the delay.[19]

Really don't think it's ever coming out, the guy sounds too unstable to actually finish this project.

Holy poo poo. :eyepop:

I believe that is intentional, since it's the first game where he's not putting on an act as a triple agent. This is the one game where you get to meet the real Ocelot, and he's kind of boring guy who tells you to avoid getting split in half by a helicopter's machine gun.

He twirls a gun literally once in mgsV. Actually my biggest grievance against the game.

Really I don't think anybody actually funded that Kickstarter thinking they were getting a game out of it. If I had to guess I'd say most of the backers were just people who knew he needed money along with anyone else the spectacle managed to grab.

Finished Dead Space 1 & Shantae today :toot:

DS1 was an all around solid experience. Generally good action set pieces and it feels real awesome when you mow down a group of enemies just right (and equally terrible when these encounters go south). The last boss was hilariously easy compared to the rest of the game.

Shantae was pretty much exactly what I expected it to be: a well made but generally easy platformer with some gorgeous visuals. I still think I prefer Pirate's Curse but that's probably because I just like the pirate abilities more than the dances.

"The laughing scene in FFX is deliberately bad"

yeah but like, it's also, at the same time, actually bad

It's a real dumb way to write a scene but it's kind of unfair that people use that scene to call the voice actor bad or whatever when it's obviously supposed to be stupid, IMO.

Shameful.

Fightcade is classic arcade games with excellent ggpo netcode and usually decent and stable player numbers. It would be the place to actually play rival schools after whatever remake or sequel you are hoping for loses all its players thanks to slapdash capcom netcode.

I think it's a fair point of criticism. Awkward translation plus awkward acting in a scene that's trying to be awkward is a recipe for absolute disaster.

A lot of bad VA jobs come down to poor direction rather than any fault on the actor's part.

NANI?

In FFX's case it was both poor direction and the western VA having to match the Japanese timing to within like 0.1 of a second or the game crashed.

You know what i want? An option to automatically switch from an WASD setup to an ESDF one. Yes this is stupid but it's 2016 and everyone should at least acknowledge that it exists. :colbert: I'm lazy and tired of having to re-bind everthing in every drat game and wondering if i've unbound (or double bound) some important thing or another.

When FFX was being made, Japanese game companies still lived in an insular bubble and rarely bothered to work with native English speakers to make sure scripts and VA worked organically in a different language. I wish I could find the article about it, because it had short interviews with the major game makers (Miyamoto tier guys) and IIRC every one of them said something to the effect of "we don't think American players care that much about the script". haha.

FFX-2 was worse about that because they had like 3 models for the characters: the CG model that was in the prerendered stuff, the an FFX-style cutscene model, and then just the flat texture model where it's like they just gave up and figured nobody would notice everyone was suddenly wearing a mask with their face on it haha

I find it more hilarious because pre render cutscenes tend to make characters look better than in the game in cutscenes.

I have a PS4 Pro and Xbox One S now so I may as well make the step up to 4K.

Look up the rtings review and see if they say it can actually support the hdr capability it has.

If they start saying things like it lacks the full color gamut or it has less than optimal peak brightness or anything like that, wait until ks8000 goes on sale for superbowl sunday

I give tetsuya nomura lots of poo poo because I think too many of his character designs rely on excessive overuse of belts and zippers but I am glad that Lulu's dress in FFX was him trying to troll the people who had to animate the prerendered cutscenes by designing a character whose entire dress was belts

Anything VATS / action points / criticals is YMMV because in combination they can hilariously own anything but on the other hand when everything can be solved with a VATS menu things get pretty boring. Rifles, explosives, big guns and lots and lots of drugs can't go wrong though.

On the other hand, watching your character headshot the enemy 10 times while they continually run at you in a straight line is pretty funny.

Its why I gave him a pass for KH because of Lulu's design.
