Stadia finally wins bros.

*clap clap* Stadia!

Best part is Google Employees probably hate this fucking game.

 

[Prophetic Spirit]

It reminds me of using Celeb voices in cartoons instead of proper Voice actors. Maybe it works for normalfags. Who knows.

Mark Hamill is great doing voice acting. Ozai's interpretation probably isn't too complex but serves well. Same as the Joker in a Batman media (i can't remember clearly).
Even Majima dubbing in Y1 (i don't know exactly the VA in Y7) works good.
Quinton Flynn voices Raiden in all his Metal Gear's appareances and a side character in a Nickelodeon cartoon. With that he proves his voicing acting too

Beware any publication that hints at you purchasing new, recently-released hardware in order to play anything.

When HensKenKline started talking about the endings being bad, I got sudden flashbacks to every Far Cry since 2.

FC2, as gritty as it was, had a good ending. You died, but at the end of the day the refugees got safely across the border and you saved them.

FC3: "Violence is bad m'kay? Either you kill the Tribal bitch who would kill you anyway, and its all a cycle or something, aren't we at Ubisoft deep"

FC4 and FC5: The only "good" ending is in the first scene where you basically sit and wait for the ending to pop up and the games over and you go back to the menu. If you actually play the Assassins Creed style treasure hunt nonsense, you get no win endings.

Hey Game Devs, can I fucking win for once and feel satisfied? Or do you just want to thumb your nose at me and criticize the fact I bought your shitty game and tried enjoying it?

I am not saying it can't be done, but usually it was used to market the movie. I guess star power just works.
Like when you have Hans Zimmer composing one (1) song for your game then you can market it as Soundtrack by Hans Zimmer.
I dunno what game did that was it Crysis or Call of Duty?

Mark Hamil wasn't really a celeb when he got big into voice acting though, not like the celebs featured in this game at least. He was just known as the guy in Star Wars. I actually see him as much more of a voice actor than anything else.

I wasn't aware Quinton Flynn was known for anything besides voice acting.

Got the Nomad ending then watched the others on youtube. Nomad one is by far the best one as it's the only hopeful ending with a tinge of optimism for V's future. It's even more satisfying if you romanced that Nomad girl. Still the endings in general are pretty weak. Obviously there will be DLC for this game, but don't know if CDPR will do a big Witcher 3 style DLC like Blood and Wine that gives V actual closure.

Of course, i don't deny about the star power thing. Like Bethesda used Patrick Steward for voicing the Emperor in Oblivion or Liam Neeson for your dad in Fallout 3. But things about marketing videogames with movies is a real thing since... 2nd generation of consoles?
Danny Trejo's interpretation with Raul in New Vegas is epic if you ask me

Well, the same actor who get big in his career being Luke Skywalker, at least for me, giving voice acting in cartoons or videogames keeps the same idea @DamageJoy commented.
Quinton Flynn worked more for cartoons than David Hayter... i think.

It can work depending on the celebrity. Mark Hamill, Rene Auberjounis, Claudia Black, etc. have pretty much established themselves as capable voice actors now.

Companies like Ubisoft has been hiring theatre actors most of the time as opposed to voice actors.

There was no real point in having someone like Kevin Spacey in a CoD game, though, except for just having him there.

With the Witcher 3. That game turned them into the loved company and people instantly forgot how agressive they were with the pirates around the W1 and 2.

Of course the "gamer" community has a memory of a brain damaged gold fish and the spine of an amoeba. See how quickly they bounced back to liking Blizzard after the company messing up for years without end. ugh

True. Look how much people like No Man's Sky or Sea of Thieves now while forgetting they they should have been initially released in much better quality.

CDPR will probably bounce back from this nevertheless. This is the only project they've been working on, and they're a billion-dollar company now. Tremendous patches and extra content will be released in the next couple of years.

 

[HeyYou]

So, rewatched many of the trailers and many referenced a kind of GTA like life in the streets. You start as a rat, and you work yourself up to be rich, have pretty girls, live a luxurious lifestyle instead of a shitty trashcan lifestyle ... from zero to hero. Remember "And I'm a big dreamer."? That's what I liked about the idea of this game. Just going on an ego trip and maximizing my lifestyle through cool missions and heists. Instead of that, you get infected with Kianu Griefs and spend the rest of the game trying to find a medicine for your sniffles, and you end up either dying or, best case, end up living a hobo life with an ugly chick (as a cutscene), and it's all a big deep lesson about how being a hero is dumb and doesn't work in the real world Night City. Geez, it's almost like Rian Johnson had his hands in the writing. Can I please just have my fun and not be bothered with life lessons? I get that GTA 5 isn't realistic. I don't give a shit. For that matter, neither is Cyberpunk 2077, nor any other action game, no matter how hard it tries to pretend otherwise. I'm a grown man way past college and I couldn't give less of a shit about the myopic life lessons of a bunch of fat retarded game devs with dyed hair.

Come on. You can go through hundreds of gunfights, get hit thousands of times by big caliber weapons, immediately and perfectly heal yourself with a medkit without as much as a scar but then you get a profound lesson about how you're dying from a slight scratch to your head? Bitch please.

From what I understand, there is no ending where you can actually continue in Night City after the finale and do remaining missions, unless you choose to be Keanu Reeves. Fuck this shit.

I'm pretty sure you said this exact same shit a few pages ago, complete with a Rian Johnson comparison. It's a cyberpunk game, dude, it was never going to be GTA. The tabletop 30 years ago already showed that people who reached the top often had pretty much just as much a shitty life as those on the bottom, just in different ways. The game's going to follow that motif.

We left "finished game" like a decade ago when day 1 patches and DLC became a thing.

Yeah, right now Nintendo is the only company still making finished games as far as I can see

You can only really judge anything after it had some time on the market. I know it sounds counter intuitive, but you could have a game (or any product or art etc.) that is hated first then it gets some fixes and is being loved a lot. Even No Man's sky survived the initial bad marketing and unstable state.

People in general want to see the next big flop. It gives people some catharsis to see something crash and burn. The marketing that always oversell games doesn't help with this either.

 

[HensKenKline]

Isn't that a legit cause of action in EU courts?

Maybe, I havent heard of it tho. Thinking of any example in particular?

Sorry I forgot where I was and left this out-

Spoiler: Friendly help for autistic frens

Joke, that was a joke.

I wouldn't call this a disaster. It's just not quite finished. I've seen much worse and this could definitely be cleared up in a few patches.

Semi-related: a lot of people forget just how bad multiplayer Valve games were on release. TF2 was an absolute trash fire for a few months when it was first released. It wound up being one the longest lasting and most stable online games ever.

 

[Milwaukee Macho Man]

Are we absolutely positive that Keanu wasn't directed to talk in that weird monotone way?

The only reason I say this is I found it really weird that V (or at least the male V) voice actor managed to get the tone and style of Keanu down really well for the parts where he's taken over by Silverhand.

TF2 is still really poorly optimized if we're being honest. I don't get how a game that old still can run like shit on a brand new ,half way decent work laptop.

If a buggy state would kill a game the Skyrim or any Ubisoft title wouldn't have been a thing. The way we really consume gaming media emphasizes negativity. (as long as the game itself is trending as search term, nobody expect the playing audience will care after the hype died down.)

TF2 runs way worse than it used to be. I will blame the game adding tons of cosmetics while having a dev team of... like 3 people at best.

Edit: Just imagine the spaghetti code, and frustrated coders trying to make the big complex AAA games to work.

I wonder what makes my 900 dollar PC so special that I haven't had any real issues running it on high.

You don't have ray tracing enabled.

 

[Milwaukee Macho Man]

You don't have ray tracing enabled.

So all of the complaints that it can't run would simply be alleviated if people just turned off ray tracing?
