I've seen fun you people wouldn't believe.
Tiki torches on fire off the summit of Kilauea.
I watched disco balls glitter in the dark near the Brandenburg Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like crowds in rain.

Time to sleep.
I looked up an Until Dawn timeline cause I was being general with how long that bath was but was thinking it was like 3 or 4 hours which seemed unreasonable but it was only about 2 and a half, which still seems long to me, but whatever.

She also tried legal action over Ellie looking so much like her, too, I believe.

She just complained in an AMA on reddit, there was no legal action. Also I'm still on the side that thinks Ellie didn't look that much like Ellen Page and people were just thinking all white girls with brown hair in a pony-tail are the same, like she isn't that unique looking.

Going to stop for tonight 'cos I have other things to do. I'm intrigued by Yakuza 6 but seriously, it's been an hour and i've had to push buttons maybe ten times lol.

Without goons raving about things I never would've played Earth Defence Force 2017 (which is a series I love) or Rez (which I've now bought on four different consoles) but then I also didn't enjoy Dark Souls or Bloodborne so who knows.

I don't get the deal with this orphanage, though. So it was being run by the orphans themselves for three years? There was that one kid that had a baseball scholarship so was he supposed to be 18? Because seriously everybody there looked like they were aged between 8 and 14, so it was a bit weird.

Oh, right, that one was the AMA thing!

I think Ellie did look and tbh still looks like Ellen Page, fwiw.

I believe there's a caretaker character for the orphanage you just don't meet there. The Y6 intro is legit too long, and also kind of boring. The game picks up pretty quick once you're past the cutscenes.

I remember thinking it was also kind of weird that they wrote Ellie as a queer character around the same exact time Ellen Page came out publicly although that could have just been a coincidence.

Ellie looks a lot like Ellen Page did at that time.

The original version was basically identical

Yeah it was definitely after TLOU

I mean after working with David "I film ziss piss" Cage and basically having her face stolen for TLOU and then a lot of people suddenly being weirdly mad that she's gay I really can't blame Ellen Page for not wanting to have anything to do with videogames and/or people in general

It's sooooo good, right?

I've never played a GoW game before but I was hooked after the first fight with The Stranger (and lol, I was thinking "holy poo poo that's Jeremy Davies" as soon as I saw that weird leaning back and pushing arms forward while grinning expression) and it only kept getting more and more awesome.

I still have a bunch of post-game stuff to do but you know what? I'm not gonna do it. I'm gonna play Yakuza 6, and I'll pick up GoW again in a few months to a year and visit all the stuff I missed along the way.

In my opinion Ellie would need to be noticeably older, have a larger forehead, and lose the freckles before I'd be like "wtf, that's just Ellen Page".

IDK if it will be a trilogy but Sony has apparently already greenlit a fifth GOW that will also be set in Norse lands. I have to think they’ll do at least one DLC in the unused realms since the game is gonna be a gigundo bazillion seller though.

I feel like they'd be more likely to save those for the next game or possibly the one after that even.

I figured that since the realms have different "you can't go here" messages, some of them were for later in the campaign and some of them were for DLC.

I count no less than 4 "editions" of Final Fantasy XV on the google results page without even scrolling. The "Royal" edition is up for sale, is that the way to go? Or should I wait for Ignis Veridis Max Butts Edition or whatever the gently caress

edit: this IS the right thread, and not the Yakuza 0 thread, which is a game I just bought

Royal is the GOTY edition plus other poo poo, so you want that afaik. Dunno if that includes the future DLC or if there's gonna be a second pass.

Cool, thanks. I thought I heard they're doing a second round of DLC but that's far enough in the future that this seems like a good time to get in.

Many people have that impression. But is better that they make few good areas than many bad areas.

I actually thought it was Ellen Paige because she was in that other game and I was late to TLOU, so I had no idea of who the actors were or anything.

I'm with you, actually. Even from the first trailer I just didn't see it, though I will admit that Ashley Johnson and Ellen Page have a similar nonplussed cadence in their voices that was also at work.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWzcYbtZQrk Looking at it with hindsight they don't look alike at all to me, but they do 'seem' alike, if that makes any sense.

I think most of those observations came from before the redesign. She definitely doesn't look like her much anymore in that video. And even after they changed her face people still had the association going on. her name being Ellie and her voice probably contributed too.

I honestly thought it was Ellen Page until I finished the game and read the credits.

Edit: actually I guess her face is sort of different in that video. It's mostly just that one picture that does it.

That video represents the reveal of the game. Nobody had any idea what these characters looked like before that video.
