Be real funny if developers just start using voice actors in other languages as the default VO. Like they just have the game set in a fictional area clearly based upon a non English speaking country, only include that VO track, and ignore the rest.

There's a few games where the foreign VOs are unironically better.

AI voice woild fix so many problems regarding modern gaming and its fear of having long conversations due to the costs involved.

Some one is gonna make a suite of AI Voices to sell that is not directly based upon a single person that is gonna do wonders for gaming VO.

Like you buy the gruff male ai voice, tweak it a bit to fit the game, and then let it handle everything else.

Anyone know what happened to the games are art fags from the 2000's? I would rather have those fags back than the current fags that spend their time whining about how gaming sucks now the old games good new games bad fags and all the other people that whine and complain incessantly.

I have not once played Alan Wake before in my life, and honestly I think that might change next month. The prices for the game are going for cheap, even though the Limited Edition seems to almost be sold out on the online retailer stores I usually go to.

you could literally get it for one fiddy at some point: https://isthereanydeal.com/game/alanwake/info/?country=US

remedy reduced the price a few years ago when some music licenses were about to run out and they were not sure if they could replace them and relist the games, kinda like a "last chance" firesale. got cleared up (iirc MS helped with the song licenses, one of the few good things they did) and they got listed again.
first game was also free on epic at some point.

great game but keep in mind it's a remedy game where the sum is greater than the individual parts. some people like it, some don't, but there's a reason it has very dedicated fans. GOAT soundtrack nonetheless.


there are even better songs, but those go into spoiler territory.

EDIT: be aware the remaster fucks a bit with graphics and removes some product placement. nothing major but the original port runs more than fine imo, and it's still a 2010 game, so might as well play it like it was back then (and AN never got a remaster, so if you want to play that you'd play the "old" game anyway).

I am playing armored core 6 and the game really has been great. I am loving the game and it is pushing to watch mecha stuff like gundam and neon genesis. I am thinking might get into this hobby soon, recommend me more mecha games especially that runs on pc as I don't know how to emulate video games while I pateinly wait for remasters of the old games that are stuck in ps2.

It is a great game, but the combat sections("the game" in many ways) suck when you figure it out. And that will happen early on. There's great elements to the combat but it becomes rote memorization. Story, setting, characters, those are all great.

the combat is ok, and from what I remember (been over a decade) it never really overstays it's welcome either. remedy games aren't really games you play for the gameplay since they're only part of it (even max payne suffers from that depending who you ask, since it's just "dodge into a room in bullet time"). another issue since it's tied to the story, and the story is over at some point, you run into the problem quantum break had where you finally have all powers and can wreck shit, but the game is almost at it's end.
control tried to fix that and was a lot of fun (imho), but also got shit for it.

treating it as an experience with game parts, not some horror shooter, would be the more appropriate expectation.

Oh it does overstay its welcome, there's no variation to it. Same enemies that have the same health pool and goes down with the same amount of bullets and gets their darkness broken with the same amount of light. It's all static and not dynamic. It becomes a chore. There's no need to worry about ammo/batteries either because it is balanced to always have you loaded.
There is no "zombies are milling around" like in Resident Evil so don't alert them or maybe you can run past them! No, in Alan Wake the enemies spawns from nowhere when passing triggers and it is creating a combat arena!
Knowing exactly how to blow the head off a zombie in RE was fun, it trivialized encounters and made you feel good. Knowing that you have to do the same thing 12 times in a row for the fifty-eleventh time in Alan Wake is not so fun.

I love the game, I hate most of the combat sections.
 
Possibly the next indie darling, Void Stranger. On the surface it's just a neat sokoban gimmick(can use a rod to take a ground tile in front of you if it has no items on it, and then you can place that tile in any gap you can find on the grid.
Also very directional heavy, you can't turn in place).
Under the surface? It's by System Erasure, the Zer0Ranger guys so there's a lot of Noita/La Mulana tier-secret fuckery going on. Puzzles in plain sight that make sense later. Stuff in place that you can interact with in one specific way that you may not be aware of until later or until a few things ingame clue you in if you're paying attention. Possibly more, I'm still fairly early in the game but I've seen a few vague spoilers and there seems to be a lot going on in terms of unlockables and stuff to see.

If any of that sounds interesting to you, I'm going to suggest you go and play it and remain as spoiler free as possible. Just go in and progress, don't look up anything because it seems that nothing is too permanent if you thought you fucked something up.
Music's also sick as hell.

Honestly I just thought it was a neat sokoban clone until I unintentionally crashed the game by fucking with the HUD.

Atomic Heart is a recent one and if a game is made by the japanese and set in japan then just subtitle the fucking thing.

I'd rather play a game with the original language and subs over dubbing as long as it isn't german.
Click to expand...
I played the Metro series in Russian with subs. Same with Chernobylite (which was the default option lol). The other game I remember trying it on was Plague Tale; I tried out the French language option halfway through and found it more tolerable than English. I also always played the Battlefield series with faction voices on (when you play as Russia they speak Russian, when you play as the MEC they speak Arabic, etc.) and was annoyed that there wasn't an option for that in BF3.

Don't play too many games set in a foreign country but when I do my autism compels me to use the foreign VOs.

Found this video on YouTube the other day. It seems like modders have managed to fix some of the issues with the PC port of GTA IV. I didn't even know there was issues because I never owned a PS3 or 360 back then and I never played GTA IV till about 2016. I bought it back in 2015 but it's such a poorly optimized mess it ran like shit on the prebuilt I installed a GTX 750 Ti SC in. It was like a $500 PC from Best Buy. But even when I built my own PC in 2016 with an i7 6700 and a R9 390 it still didn't run that well. Apparently the console version is better because it had somethings the PC didn't have or were broken in the port. I installed it and it seems to work.

 
Small whitepill: Computer keyboards have gotten a hell of a lot better over the years. Even cheapo gaming keyboards with static lighting are about on par with those expensive Logitech ones with useless screens on them from like 15 years ago.

Can the shitty screens have Half-Life 3 on them though? Didn't think so.
You don't get that MadCatz quality anymore.
