Most dubs are at least okay and even official subtitles are shaky and inconsistent so w/e.

Cyber City Oedo and the Fist of the Northstar movie are the only dubs worth watching.

I can respect both sides in the subs/dubs war unless it's live action that you prefer dubbed in which case prepare to die

I try to play as many games in my original language now that they're actually being dubbed. Baccano! and REDLINE are much better in english, also.

My opinion depends entirely on whether or not there's a female character with that infantized nyoro~n voice. That is anime poison.

My 3.5 year-old son is now really into racing games but specifically only wants to send them flying into watery abysses. Trackmania Turbo seems to work well for this task, especially with its simplistic controls, any other titles we should investigate? Doesn't matter how old or for what console I don't think. One of the Cars games would be ideal but I suspect they're too on-rails to allow you to fail in such a specific fashion.The Colonel posted:Subs and dubs... well they're both ftw English audio with Japanese subs, get the best of everything.

To the consumer, worrying about which is magically better isn't really worth the mental effort except in the rare cases where there's a big gap, or the original work is so amazing that a slightly better localization makes that shine through better

Sakurazuka posted:Why do people say the DS2 DLC is the best part of the the game? So far Brume Tower has been a gigantic pain in the rear end including reusing one of the worst bosses from the main game and seemly deliberately making the boss runs an utter pain. Apart from Fume Knight who was actually pretty cool. It's because the level design and visuals are cool and memorable (ignoring the garbo coop areas)

I think the only anime I've seen where I prefer subs to dubs is jojo and that's only because the random outbursts of english aren't as silly when the whole thing is in english. It's the difference between someone shouting "VANILLA ICE" or "HOLY poo poo" or "RED HOT CHILI PEPPER" while otherwise speaking in Japanese when compared to if they were shouting those things while the rest of the show is in english so it doesn't stand out as much

The producer of Journey went on to give that TED talk about "Roger Ebert is wrong, games are art" and then joined Ouya. I hope she has pulled out of that downward spiral
