mario golf + splatoon 3 + octopath tactics is enough to satisfy me. legend of mana and saga frontier remasters are cool too

the octopath folks made a FFT style game, this looks cool

yes it does! i just downloaded the demo

uh, one of the three main kingdoms is called the Grand Duchy of Aesfrost, and it has voice acting, and she says "Ass-frost"
― Zach_TBD (Karl Malone), Thursday, 18 February 2021 00:02 (three years ago) link
I like where this is going
ok, nevermind - it's much closer to Ess-Frost.
Still, assfrost, relatable
― Zach_TBD (Karl Malone), Thursday, 18 February 2021 00:04 (three years ago) link
the voice acting is horrible. it's just a demo, but this is what passes as voice acting in most games, so. i will never understand why videogame companies don't hire real voice actors
― Zach_TBD (Karl Malone), Thursday, 18 February 2021 00:08 (three years ago) link
Because they don’t want to have to pay SAG scale or residuals. (I forget if SAG won residuals after they struck against the big studios.) It’s usually nonunion talent.

this sounds like Amazon Mechanical Turk work
― Zach_TBD (Karl Malone), Thursday, 18 February 2021 00:11 (three years ago) link
but what about like, local community colleges or high schools? i'm sure a lot of students would jump at the chance to be paid like $200 an hour or whatever the cheap-ass rate would be for a voice actor.
In most videogames, it sounds like the friends of the developers (or the developers themselves) are the voice actors
― Zach_TBD (Karl Malone), Thursday, 18 February 2021 00:13 (three years ago) link
i do like when there's option to hear the dialogue in Japanese or any other language on the universe other than English, because that helps to cover the acting up

Huh, why did they skip Twilight Princess? Ugh I just need to find an old Wii for cheap

psyched for Mario Golf!
and i've never spent much time with Splatoon, but might be tempted to dive in with 3 next year
― Zach_TBD (Karl Malone), Thursday, 18 February 2021 00:18 (three years ago) link
Splatoon 2 has been getting great discounts this past few months if you caught 'em ($28 from GameStop on BF! amazing for a first-party Nintendo title), this might've had something to do with it
― Nhex, Thursday, 18 February 2021 00:21 (three years ago) link
interested to see how much new it brings to the table, nintendo doesnt usually double up on multiplayer games in a console generation but i guess splatoon is too popular to not refresh
― ciderpress, Thursday, 18 February 2021 00:27 (three years ago) link
i still havent played the dlc campaign for 2 despite hearing great things about it

Yeah Skyward Sword is the last 3D Zelda with no forward-porting at all. I suspect we’ll get Ocarina and Majora HD at some point too, and then maybe Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD will finally come to switch.

oh yeah, i totally forgot that was on Wii U. surprisingly, Wii U's are not as cheap to acquire as one might hope

― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Thursday, 18 February 2021 03:31 (three years ago) link
WW I'm not so fussed about, as I have a WiiU so I have the HD port they already did.
Occarina would be nice, the 3DS version is hard to play o such a small screen (I hate the way the camera focus works in it too)
woah, just catching up and so many games I want to buy :Ocan't believe they are localizing Famicom Detective Club gamesOctopath Tactics looks amazing

i got my kids all pumped up for the splatoon 3 trailer - they're big splatoon fans - and they were getting more and more hyped as it played and then at the end in big red numbers: 2022 which is like 100 years away when you're six years old
― na (NA), Thursday, 18 February 2021 14:26 (three years ago) link
I thought the direct was supposed to be about stuff in the first half of 2021?
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 18 February 2021 14:33 (three years ago) link
they always say that to temper expectations and then show some further off stuff anyway
― ciderpress, Thursday, 18 February 2021 14:45 (three years ago) link
I've only played Splatoon 2 a tiny bit, since I don't have online, and it was fun, but boy, Splatoon 3 being the thing "further away" to look forward to really does temper my exceptions even more, since I don't want it or pretty much anything else teased or announced. Which is fine, because I have plenty of games to play as it is, but still sort of innately disappointing, since I do like my Switch but have already been let down by a pretty uninspiring slate the last year or so. It's all about the indies for me, as usual.

Isn't that what Return of the Obra Dinn is? Thoughts? Do games like this have any replay value?
― Evan, Thursday, 18 February 2021 19:37 (three years ago) link
only after a traumatic brain injury probably

Seems very feasible to invent a roguelite detective game
― Evan, Thursday, 18 February 2021 19:50 (three years ago) link
dunno if it would be any fun though, sounds like those encyclopedia brown challenges where you should've realized that one kid was shorter than the other so he couldn't have reached the top counter except that is completely impossible to guess.

all i want is a new Wario Ware game. Or hell, ports of the old ones.
― Piven After Midnight (The Yellow Kid), Thursday, 18 February 2021 19:59 (three years ago) link
xp obra dinn is a detective game that makes you do all the detective work yourself rather than follow a fictional protagonist who solves the big picture while you're only asked to figure out individual steps e.g. ace attorney or danganronpa or most of these games really. dunno where famicom detective club lands on the spectrum but guessing the latter
― ciderpress, Thursday, 18 February 2021 20:03 (three years ago) link
obra dinn is the best but you don't play it twice
― That's not really my scene (I'm 41) (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 18 February 2021 20:04 (three years ago) link
There's probably a right way to do it- all sorts of variables can be creatively handled. All hypothetical of course and I'm not going to task anyone with figuring it all out here. Just feels like the conditions that dictate unique "seeds" in roguelites could conceivably be applied to detective grenre if programmed cleverly.
xps
― Evan, Thursday, 18 February 2021 20:07 (three years ago) link
outer wilds is the former too. a 20 minute game that takes 10-20 hours of exploration/research to figure out how to beat
― ciderpress, Thursday, 18 February 2021 20:09 (three years ago) link

Dunkey is Josh confirmed.
― Andrew Farrell, Friday, 19 February 2021 11:27 (three years ago) link
I don't think he's that angry for real. Fwiw, I think his previous two videos were nothing but effusive praise for Super Mario 3D World and Bowser's Fury, the latter of which he called his presumptive game of the year, which might have actually been serious.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 19 February 2021 13:54 (three years ago) link
you seem to know an awful lot about his video history, almost as if ... Andrew is on to something lol
― ( X '____' )/ (zappi), Friday, 19 February 2021 14:03 (three years ago) link
Almost as if I saw the latest one yesterday and thought, oh shit, I missed his last two, which were right next to it and which I watched right after, lol.
