credburn posted:The first Yakuza game I played was 0 and once Majima shows up, it's the first time I noticed a change in dialect, the way a person speaks. When reading what he was saying I was really confused as to whether he's (forgive my limited vocabulary) supposed to be a "redneck" or "gangster." The abbreviating gerunds, like "Listen to what I'm sayin'. They're goin' to be playin' at the..." etc., whatever) could go either way. I think something like "youse" would have helped edge my read more toward gangster but "youse" is also such a silly word and I don't know that I've seen it used outside media playing off the American gangster thing as an exaggerated trope. Redneck gangster is probably pretty much what they were going for. Majima specifically also has a very over the top obviously fake accent that tends to disappear when he gets serious.

The Book of Love quest in Skyrim is really good. Instead of going around killing people you're going around giving them relationship advice. And then at end you reunite two ghosts so that they can move on to the afterlife.

Just finished Yakuza 3 and man what an ending. Can't believe Kiriyu died! *After credit scene* Kiryiu is alive?! Man what a rollercoaster. Vic has a new favorite as of 12:12 on Apr 8, 2024 |

The American side of the western Great Lakes, that is. You probably don't want a Rochester accent, and Americans cannot handle hearing any Canadian accents.

I grew up and went to high school in northern Wisconsin (really far northern) and I had to learn how to suppress my accent because no one took me seriously when they heard me talk.

A few pages late to Faro Chat, but I played Watch Dogs: Legion next after HZD and while Skye Larsen didn't quite measure up to Ted's enormity, they were still a notably lovely Billionaire.NoneMoreNegative posted:The WD Legion side-plot about Skye Larsen's mind uploading tech had some genuinely creepy bits in it, the 'upload pruning' of the House AI especially. Not a great or even good game to play, but the big Ubi Open World had a lot of effort put into it and the story had its moments.

You can use these in deep caves if you find a large enough room. Conversely you can't use them in the desert town open-air bazaar if you happen to be standing under a banner of cloth.

In the original Disgaea, there's a stage where the enemies are a Prinny baseball team. Every enemy has a glove weapon but the only one that has any armor is the catcher.

WD:L is worse than WD2 but better than WD1, and the drones are fun as hell to gently caress around with. And Clan Kelley is completely vile and evil and I so enjoyed taking them down.

WD:L is a set of pretty great open world toys (the ridable cargo drone is amazing) wrapped around a character swapping gimmick that doesn't really add much and a cowardly desire to portray near-future Britain as a dystopian hellhole without once mentioning Brexit because video games aren't political

But yes, the "nae politics please" is overbearing. London is one of the most surveilled cities on the planet (in terms of security cameras per capita) but the game refuses to interact with that fact at all.

I just double checked and it's even better. The catcher is wearing the "protector" accessory which has the item description "baseball equipment".

Helldivers 2 has a million great little things like being able to make snowballs randomly on ice planets or jetpacks loving up your cape but the best thing is how well they're doing a live service game narrative. Early on, they were teasing mech suits, saying that the factories on this one planet were producing them and players had a very small chance to randomly fine one in a mission but oh no, the enemies took the planet! So after the playerbase worked together to liberate the planet, the mech suits were enabled to buy and use. Since then they've had cool narrative events based on player completing or failing various campaigns and then introducing new enemies and mission types. There's even conspiracy theories hinting at the arrival of a third faction. It's so good and way better than just seeing new enemies added in the patch notes.

The Illuminates are probably next, but there may also be a fourth race coming in as well along with the possibility of adjoining factions fighting each other as well as Super Earth.

One of the side NPCs on your ship mentions Rebels at one point and it would be dope as gently caress if you had dudes calling in the same kinds of orbital strikes and turrets and poo poo you do but yeah Helldivers 2 is one of the only games actually living up to its Live Service potential and you know Sony have absolutely learned the wrong lesson when they were praising it and saying that it convinced them to do more Live Service stuff not too long ago lol
