Age of Calamity is, like, a time travel-influenced prequel set before Zelda got locked away, so maybe a hundred years was just a long enough time for her to forget how to talk well.

bony tony posted:I'm playing as Gal Eivor, because Eivor is a female name, and I like to play as a gal whenever a game gives me the option. I don't think her voice-acting is as bad as you think it is, it's just an enormous contrast to Kassandra. Now that I'm deeper into Valhalla I don't think female Eivor is bad, just not as immediately charming as Kassandra. Eivor is rather serious, sensitive and kind of poetic, you kind of get the sense that she would have gladly settled for a life writing eddas instead of pillaging. Kassandra meanwhile was so gleefully amoral, carnal, and not especially bright so it was consistently amusing to stab your way out of delicate political situations.

RareAcumen posted:What about the flashback cutscenes of her meeting the four champions and all that? Wasn't her voice acting still terrible back then too? Yes, but there's a couple of potential explanations there if you want to chase them. 1. The cutscenes take place after the Calamity's gone into full swing and the four warriors have all been chosen and united; that's actually before Age of Calamity picks up, so it's possible that the whole 'being at a horrible war where she has to do Big Deal poo poo' kinda took its toll on her being able to talk well. 2. Those flashbacks are Link's, who likely doesn't have objective recall, and who is definitely kinda dumb. It's possible that he heard Zelda after her Voice Acting Baddening, and kinda transplanted that into his memories of the past. So he's remembering what she said, but not how she said it.

A cat thing in games I like is that, in Bayonetta, you can travel between plains of existence that sit atop each other sharing the same space. When you're in Paradiso (the angel world) angels are solid and humans are spectres. In Purgatorio (the human world), the opposite applies. In both worlds, cats are solid. Just like in real life, cats transcend the boundaries of reality. I like to think that this explains when cats stare at nothing for ages before sprinting about the place. They're just chasing off the bad angels

So I play XCOM 2 Long War a lot and complain about it even more in the other topic, but there's an (unintended) feature that never fails to make me laugh. One of the newly added enemy units is a water melon sized drone that wanders around the map looking for xcom rebels to taze. What's funny is that even outside of combat they completely disregard windows and simply fly right through them with a dramatic crash and glass flying everywhere. The mundane terror of being a civilian in an ADVENT city, living in mostly glass buildings designed by the same aliens that regularly deploy window-breaking drones is a very amusing thought to me

I like that a lot of people treated her like the Hulk in Avengers. Just point her in the direction of people that need stabbing and wait for the screams. Whenever they did, the characters did a good job of having to patiently explain that when going to a nice party, you need to dress up a little. Plus it was a nice change that both Kassandra and Alexios are loving morons.

When you're in Paradiso (the angel world) angels are solid and humans are spectres. In Purgatorio (the human world), the opposite applies. Ahem, actually the area where you spend most of your time, where the humans are ghostly, is Purgatorio, the space between the worlds. You fight most of the angels there. Paradiso has no humans, ghostly or otherwise, and I THINK is only in Bayonetta 2? And in the human world proper, of course, the angels are invisible, but can still be sensed by their direct physical effects, but you knew that. (  )

Kassandra meanwhile was so gleefully amoral, carnal, and not especially bright so it was consistently amusing to stab your way out of delicate political situations. I like that, in the short sidequests, you often have a dialogue choice of "do the sensible thing" and "do the thing that'll make for a good story". Eivor gets opportunities to be a skald sometimes (in the flyting bouts etc), and it's clear that they enjoy it. I also like that Dag's stories are short, not very fun, and everybody has heard them a thousand times.

You couldn’t pet the cats in Metal Gear Rising Revengence but you can try and cut them up with your sword and watch them dance around your blade. Though now that I think about it you never get the chance to pet Blade Wolf either...

What I'm really liking in Assassin's Creed Valhalla so far is that not all the low level members of the Order are cartoonishly evil. Some just wanted their lives to be more fun, or to have more ale to drink - and Eivor is kind of understanding about that in the death cutscenes with them. She seems to understand how easy it is to go down a bad path.
