Holy gently caress that was brutal for Kumail. :cripes:

At least it's very clear from that that Kumail went into it thinking his voice would be orkified later and Monolith just didn't. I really love his: "Can you swear on this? Bro you hosed me." :lol:

Also please continue to be diligent with spoiler tags if you read something in the reviews or whatever that you think people that are staying away from them might not want to know.

Kumail orc has me dying. 10/10 game. The game director was probably only half joking when he asked Conan if he wanted to voice an orc. Give me a Conan orc, Monolith.

If you are the cancer killing video games, GMG appears to have its Steam keys available. Pre-load is not up yet however, if it will be at all.

What's wrong with GMG? They're actually a legit reseller, as far as I know.

Part of me thinks that it's all intentional. You don't get a guy who just got off of being savaged for his unedited voice work in another game to come in and do more VO for your game and then call his work "the Agonizer" without being at least something of a joke.

Of course it is. This is all part of the marketing push for the game. No one would go on Conan if they thought it might actually make them look bad. It's still really funny though.

To be fair, The Agonizer succeeded in being a great addition to the Nemesis System because the game isn't even out and I already want to kill the gently caress out of that orc.

EDIT: I wonder if he has unique lines for being mind broken/insane from shaming.

Yeah, that's why I pre-ordered. I was making fun of the goons who get themselves in a righteous fury over pre-ordering video games. Admittedly I don't know that any of them post in here. :shrug:

A funny recurring thing I keep seeing in the positive Youtube reviews is whiny shitlords going ":smug: How much did WB have to pay you? :smug:"
and "I DON"T CARE IF IT'S GOOD,MICROTRANSACTIONS ARE LITERALLY HITLER!" The latter are especially funny, because whenever someone points out they're completely optional they just ignore it and keep blubbering "MICROTRANSACTIONS ARE BAD,MMMKAY?!"

Microtransactions are optional in all games, doesn't mean I have to like them.

I can loving guarantee that this game wouldn't have a lootbox system (which are always terrible) if they didn't feel the need to shoehorn microtransactions in.

I don't think responding to you whine about mean youtube comments not liking lootboxes qualifies as bitching about them constantly. Here's a hint, don't read youtube comments.

I'm probably buying this game from a sale when it's cheap since SoM was fun enough even if it was far too easy. Warner bros. is also the last loving company I trust to not make things needlessly grindy at points to encourage people to buy their microtransactions.

They're horrible but like all features we hate they're here to stay in <jim sterling voice>AAA games</jim sterling voice>. The extreme minority who cares enough about them to not buy a game featuring them are only a small hiccup in sales. I absolutely hate the loot box system in Battlefront 2, and right now it's a no-go for me, but if it's really good, I may have to reconsider - EA knows this.

The industry is smart enough backdoor them into pretty much all games by first putting them in games people are pretty much going to buy no matter what since it's basically just a yearly update game - NBA 2K, CoD, Forza - and widely played by people who don't follow games much beyond a few reviews and a purchase.

They don't care if you and I like them. They care about micro-transactions becoming a thing our children will expect and accept, in the same way YouTube advertisers know they're advertising to children, teenagers, and people without money - it's not about today; it's about tomorrow.

Amazon's trolling me pretty hard. Normally when I pre-order games there I get the games on release day, now they're telling me my expected delivery date is on the 12th. I know it's only 2 days and all but it still stings.

Talion enters Minas Morgul... "I remember when this was a shining Gondorian City... All those lives lost..."
"It will be again" he thinks as he mounts a Caragor. "I swear it."

"The Nazguul sure have wrought havok here..." He says inspecting the once proud spires.
"I'm sure with a few good men we" is all he can say before he hears a familiar bellow beyond the horizon. "OLD SPICE BODYWASH WILL MAKE YOU FEEL SO POWERFUL IT'LL BLOW YOUR MIND RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE"
"P-P-P-P-POWER" is the last thing both he and you hear before the game crashes to desktop and uninstalls itself.
