The Old PlayStation Thread | *NEW THREAD IS UP*

Yeah, it could suck, but it sounds better to me.
"It sounds better." Zero logic in that statement.
I don't speak Japanese either but I know in anime and voiceovers in general the quality of effort, intensity, and emotion are easily conveyed without comprehending the language. I used to watch DBZ without subs in Japanese and currently do the same with New Japan Pro Wrestling.
I see what you're saying.

I don't agree that quality of effort or emotion can be conveyed without knowing said language.

Languages convey ideas differently. So hypothetically conveying love in spanish is much stronger than conveying love in english.

Also let's say you're the guy who picks which exert a japanese voice actor says. He reads some lines in japanese in various ways, how would you pick the best exert? You see what I'm saying?

Are those games long? Say over 20 hrs.


I don't mind BB being a challenge.
When you start a Souls game you get to choose what type of class you want (Rogue, Knight, Warrior, Wizard etc.) so there's replay value.

Also optional is finding crafting pieces to craft the best weapons/armor take awhile too. 

From the looks of BB the 'dash' is on point... I forgot if it was this quick on Demon Souls but I do remember you can't 'dash' fast if you have heavy armor.
 
When watching anime, Japanese voices > with very few exceptions, some could argue DBZ, sailor moon.. Persona also did English dub very well.

When it comes to MGS, Hayter >>

Fair enough and I also see what you are saying. :pimp:
 
And I recently started playing TLOU remastered. Forgot how damn great that game was. Beat it on the 3 when it dropped, but had to play the updated version.

Bought fifa last week and the guy at the game store sold me a digital copy code for $10. Figured it was worth the revisit for that price. Easily top 3 game last gen along with uncharted 2 and red dead imo.

Well, it's not logical to cut out parts of my post to alter it's meaning, but that' didn't stop you from doing so.

I don't know Japanese, but based on what I've heard spoken, I think the voice of the japanese VA fits better, and it just sounds more natural in a sense to me. I don't think the voice of the english VA fits the character as well, and the way he delivers some of the lines sounds bizarre and unnatural to me.

It's just a preference. Some things sound different to others. Like how you fawn over the FH2 sountrack, meanwhile I think every track you post sounds like doo doo. Different strokes.
 
Just started Last of Us...

Just got to the opening credits...

I don't even want to play this anymore... Those feels man...
 
Anyone who watched a Japanese episode of DBZ knows the voice overs are better than the English one

No part of your post was cut out.

My point is that you don't know japanese. It doesn't make sense to say "jp va>eng va b/c (how I perceive jp vas).

Your reference point isn't strong enough for you to make said statements you've made("what I've heard spoken).

If you didn't like those tracks check out the pixies. Also they have orchestral music such as wagner.

If you like those feels check out the walking dead video game and heavy rain.

Also I'd recommend staying tuned for the announcement of Quantic Dream's next game.

Finally finished an arkham game. It was excellent! It's SOM without as much freedom. Can't wait to finish the other 2 arkham games in anticipation of arkham knight.
 
Hotline Miami 2, March 10th.  The game that filters out the casuals.

100% the first one like three times. Such a great game.
