That ability isn't really limited to celebrities though...
Think about it, Nolan North, Jennifer Hale, Troy Baker are probably the top voice actors in terms of exposure right now, and they aren't movie celebrities. More over, if you don't have a mo-cap studio the actor is probably going to be doing his voices alone in a booth, which most actors don't actually do outside of the odd animated film. Acting on a set is different from expressing emotion through your...
Once you get like 4 hours in classes don't even matter though...
There could be some debate on what the term 'broken' means, but the Skyrim PS3 situation was despicable.
In online games, or games advertised as being in open beta like DayZ it makes sense. The game is promoted as being unfinished but you can still play and give feedback even if everything isn't perfect.
It's a whole other story when you purposefully don't send out review copies for a specific console because you don't want those pre-r...
Eh, I don't think anything he said is wrong, it's just a very vague and unsubstantiated statement.
For me the gunplay was a slog, and unfortunately they'd turned the entire gameplay into an FPS. I wasn't even a huge fan of Bioshock but that at least had hacking (not a hacking plasmid that wears off), a half dozen weapons you could carry, different ammo types, weapon upgrades that weren't just '+25% to weapon attribute' and a bigger emphasis on expl...
Actually I felt that Ellie swearing was a perfect addition since she was a teenager.
When I was a teenager I usually associated swearing with maturity and/or being cool. I swore a lot more when I was a teenager than I do now, but since Ellie is 14 the fact that she swore constantly really rang true for me.
Oh I still think Sterling is full of himself. I disagree with him as often as I agree with him, but in this case I agree with him wholeheartedly.
I always bristle when I see a game release on PSN for $60 even though there's no manufacturing cost or retail cut being taken (there are server costs but they are comparatively negligable).
The big benefit of digital for consumers was supposed to be that it'd eventually allow for cheaper distribution, but o...
I'm all for buying digital as long as it gives me something better than being able to keep a physical copy.
Humble Bundles and Steam sales are great since I can get games extra cheap, and GoG's no-DRM policy gives you the ability to install as many versions of the game on as many computers as you want, which is even more convenient than needing to have a disk inside the drive.
Sony and Microsoft's problem is that they don't actually give you m...
So what, did Spec Ops The Line just stop existing at some point?
They need to get the dbz abridged cast to voice this game.
The title of the article is a statement saying you will play The Last of Us, he says he will not play the last of us, it's a valid comment to make.
I'll never play Killer Instinct or Street Fighter because I don't like fighting games. If an article comes out titled "You will play KI because it's awesome" I'm definitely allowed to poke my head in and say this article's title is wrong.
In response to you're second point, ye...
While I do think that the choices could've had a bigger impact then they did, I don't need every choice I make to fundamentally change the narrative in big ways.
I wanted to roleplay a character in a story in TWD, not create a story myself, and TWD let me do that. When I got to the end of the game Lee was pretty much an extension of my own code of ethics. Hell the game even gave me a "Oh god, what have I become!" moment due to some of the choices I made. Fo...
I love how everyone immediately tells him how wrong he is to not want to play the game they do.
He never even said it was bad, just that he wouldn't play it.
BREAKING NEWS: I won't be playing GTA 5. Feel free to tell me how horrible a human being I am because of it.
Ahahahahahahahahahahahhahahaha hahahahahahahahahhaha.
Sorry, uncontrollable laughter just tends to happen when people bring up ME3's indoctrination theory and insist that it's genius and CLEARLY what Bioware intended.
First of all, the fact that Bioware released the EC blows your theory out of the water, unless you believe that Bioware spent a couple months and paid people to write/design/voice act 3 extended 'fake' endings. Instead of, you kn...
So does this tweet mean that the blue ending is canon?
"Next to no attention is being paid to what games could be beyond the same ultraviolence, hypersexuality, and broadness that currently characterises them."
I think pretty much the entire indie scene would disagree with you. Just out of the games I've played in the last 3 months I can name Thomas Was Alone, Super Hexagon, Don't Starve and Kerbal Space Program that doesn't fit into those categories, and they have received a decent amount of media attention...
Am I missing something here?
I've been setting people on fire in video games since the mid nineties. Flamethrowers and incendiary grenades are actually extremely common weapons in FPS games.
Did you READ the review? Where did these people start getting the idea that he was complaining about the violence BECAUSE VIOLENCE IS BAD? He's complaining about it because he found the gunplay shoddy and the fact that the game sends waves of enemies at you and has you mow them down, which is at odds with the tone of the game.
"At first, these limitations and frustration made me view gunplay as a last resort. It wasn't an exciting adrenaline rush. It wasn't s...
I love how people jump on top of anyone who DARES to say that The Last of Us isn't the second coming, it's like Bioshock Infinite being released all over again. Anytime someone will point out it flaws it'll be drowned out by people going "OMG You're just doing this for the hits because the game is absolutely PERFECT! GOTY!".
I don't know much or really care about how polygon comes up with the score, as scores are complete bullshit where 90% of al...
Wait there's a story?
I was under the impression the average call of duty campaign could be summed up with: EXPLOSIONS! SHOOTING TERRORISTS! HELICOPTER CRASHES! GIANT SET PIECES! DOGS! STABBING PEOPLE! GIANT SET PIECES EXPLODING! FREEEEEEEEEEEDOM!
You know, like any given Michael Bay movie.
While I don't want to jump on the hype wagon, TLOU isn't perfect and there are things I would definitely wish improved, the DayZ comparison is incredibly stupid.
He pretty much says 'The enemies aren't as smart as the human players I meet in Day Z, but it's stupid to compare AI interaction to human interaction'. So why did he even bother mentioning it? I don't mind games being contrasted with other games, but he criticizes the game through it and t...
