It’s one of my favorite games, and now is a good time to play it! It gives me a similar feeling to Halo where humanity itself is on the backfoot and nearly extinct the whole time, yet enduring as best it can. The difference being that you’re controlling a city fighting the snowpocalypse rather than a cyber-soldier fighting aliens.
Tim partially retreads the stuff that was already mentioned by various people in the industry (including Gabe Newell) but it’s by no means a bad thing - especially since he adds some personal stuff as well.
If anyone is interested in game design and history of the industry Tim’s channel is a great watch in general. There’s lots of cool stories and tips for aspiring devs.
His take was a breath of fresh air coming from reading askagamedev blog for years, where he said that you should pay 150 bucks for a used videogame from 30 years ago instead of pirating.
I got as far as the “ace mechanic” introducing herself. I’ve heard somewhere that the creators and directors behind anime, games, and other Japanese works that receive English dubs actually ask for this idiotic acting that isn’t even remotely like how real people actually speak, but I still hate it so much. That and the same 7 or so people doing the voice for every game and anime in existence. Somehow I’m wondering for the first time if it is the same in other language dubs. I don’t know any other language well enough to tell how realistic the voice work is. I generally play japanese games with japanese audio for this reason, but even that tends to be pretty different from how people speak after learning some degree of japanese. It makes me think back to how absolutely… ace phoenix/naruhodo and Maya/mayoi sounded in ace attorney vs Layton’s japanese audio only to become hammy even in japanese when they got their first voices in the main series. I actually learned japanese just because they said vs Layton and great ace attorney wouldn’t get English versions. They did in the end though…
Anyway hopefully the game will be good. I liked toriyama in the early days but after DBZ everything just felt like a DBZ reskin. Probably because of how long it went and having so many characters. When I played dqb2 with some friends we were calling all the characters by the names of similar looking past toriyama characters. Blue Arale, Hercule/Mr satan 2, etc.
