Mister Adequate posted:Earlier I happened to be looking at some VAs in Overwatch and it turns out that almost everyone is voiced by someone from the character's culture or one very close to it. Furthest one I can remember is that D.va is voiced by a Chinese woman rather than a Korean one, I believe? I thought that was cool of Blizzard to do instead of just getting bad accents in, even if they don't know that "Cheers love!" means "Thank you!" not "Hello" Reinhardt is voiced by an American, and his German pronunciation isn't too great, especially "Hasselhoff". Junkrat's voice actor is also American, but I guess he does a pretty good over-the-top Australian impression. Torbjörn sounds generically gruff rather than Swedish -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrzwpZfONXY I mean, all in all, it's a pretty good voice cast, but there are still some missed opportunities.

Bussamove posted:Hasn’t Bison died before, or am I misremembering? In basically every game he's appeared in, yes, but canonically he's died three times, I think? In Street Fighter Alpha 3 when his Psycho Drive machine is destroyed and he goes from Meat Bison to Mini Bison. In Street Fighter 2, probably killed by Akuma. In Street Fighter 5 after whatever happens in that plot, I don't know.

Morpheus posted:Are these official strips? Because that's some good meta poo poo Nah, this is the mainline Marvel comics, Morlun is travelling around the multiverse devouring Spider-People. The comic strip universe proves too difficult for him. Eventually enough Spider-folks (including Spider-Man from the Japanese tv show and his giant robot) team up to stop him and his relatives.

Dragon Age 2 also had a similar setting that replaced spider models with war dogs. I'm guessing that also applied to the elephant-sized spiders.

The Lone Badger posted:One of the Just Cause games, the main menu background is the protagonist leaning against a car somewhere on the island. You hit 'continue' and he stands up and you're seamlessly in control. Yeah, though there's some funny glitches with that. Should go into the glitch thread instead, but eh, it's a fun little thing in a game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TmnvbsIdKo

Crowetron posted:Mad Max has to be the best movie licensed video game, right? With Spider-Man 2 in a close second place? The Riddick games were shockingly good for their time, I'd say. Alien: Isolation is allegedly real good. John Wick Hex was interesting, though not a classic.

Crowetron posted:Early in Baldur's Gate 3, I found a spider-filled cave behind an abandoned basement. The boss spider at the end was way too strong for me to take down when I first found her, but she was right next to a big, conspicuous hole. With a little luck, I managed to launch her into the hole with a spell smugly looted the cave. Apparently, that hole actually connects to a later area, because once I was down there I found that big spider, dead as hell, just laying in the path. Yeah, you can cast Feather Fall and jump into the hole, allowing you to enter the area fairly early. If you don't cast it and jump anyway, you die a scripted death (no matter how much health you have). There's another fallen body in roughly the same area which the characters comment upon, so the voiceline might be for that one.

bawk posted:Picked back up Slay the Spire this weekend, still suck at it (a lot) so I went to see if there were any other games in the same vein that looked interesting. Never played Monster Train before, decided to give it a shot since it was on a deep discount! Yeah, Monster Train starts out with a much gentler difficulty curve than Slay The Spire. On the harder difficulty levels, it gets much trickier and surviving without an exponentially growing build setup is very difficult.. I do love the game and the variety it offers.

Reo posted:My group did that too. It also had the added benefit of giving the prisoner the "Wet" status, so a turn later when the boss attempted to disguise itself as an illusory duplicate of the prisoner, we immediately knew which one was real because it was wet! At least in an earlier patch, there was also one factor that allowed you to tell the prisoner and the boss apart: The real prisoner is visibly pregnant. The fake one is not. This could be seen by examining the character models.

Danger - Octopus! posted:I would love a mod that removed BTs, combat and to be honest the entire plot other than back and forth deliveries. Just leave it as the walking simulator equivalent of Truck Simulator/Snowrunner. Heck yeah. I had a blast just building my zipline network going to every single possible delivery target on the map, then zipping across, so overloaded with materials that I would fall over immediately if I ever had to take a step. Logistics!

Inspector Gesicht posted:What games go overboard with the stats and modifiers, and what does them right? I've been playing Humankind, which is a Civilization-esque game, and your cities can get statuses like "+20 research output for 10 turns" from random events, which is nice, except your cities' outputs eventually reach the 1000s so none of the effects really matter later in the game. On the other hand, I think the game's city + outpost system is a nice way of handling settling territories and the game is in many ways more approachable than, say, Endless Legend with its inventory management and other fiddliness.
