The big ass ramp thing was brought up in the QL of that one Vin Diesel game, can't remember what it's called though
Wheelman?

The community? I made that.
Well, I guess I have an account on the site. So I suppose I'm part of the community lol
Yeah I'm the same. It has that weird jankyness of a Yakuza game but as with Yakuza it still looks like it could get fun.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
You should, it's a pretty cool game, but unlike Jeff, it's a far better strategy to blow out the robot's knees, they're essentially fodder at that point.

You know you're in a Giantbomb thread when people describe games as "janky".

It's a valid term! :lol
Binary Domain does look good- seems like a mixture of Japan's weird view of American action tropes, and some Blade Runner-style "who's the robot" mystery. But playing it for 40 minutes from the start probably isn't going to give the best impression of any game coming out of Japan recently.

Watching the comment count I'm wondering how much extra exposure Binary Domain got for being the first Quick look after the acquisition.

I'm guessing lots of Gamespot tourists.
Also they describe games/companies being a piece of shit as "unfortunate".
Hahahahah yessssssss. My shitty night at work just got a lot better. Thank you for this.

Quick Look: Sine Mora (Brad/Vinny) (20:45)
Yeah that's Hungarian. I love the dubs of English films Hungarian get. The voices sound like they are recorded by the same two male and female voice actors.

Brad did not know Hungarian was an actual language? lol
Is the story or lore interesting enough? If it is, might be my gateway to shoot-em-ups.

Eh Americans seem to be pretty terrible at recognizing different languages in general. On the Bombcast Jeff even said he first thought it was German. WTF? They sound nothing alike.
I'm getting Einhander vibes. Will definitely buy it.

Most Americans aren't exposed to many languages. If they heard Spanish I bet they would recognize it because they do encounter that.
Would Europeans be able to differentiate the different Asian languages?
hell, i'm american and i was shocked by jeff's statement. german is pretty easily recognizable and you're right, it sounds nothing like hungarian.
as for this game, i loved the trial. i'll probably pick it up friday after i get paid. just bought a new dishwasher, garbage disposal, weedeater and cell phone this week. all tapped out at the moment. wallet needs a recharge.

It's kind of ironic that Sony somehow missed out on Sine Mora and still refuses to release Einhander in the states.
They played that in the Big Live Live Show IIRC
And accents.

Technically it's not a game yet and not released yet. But they should do something with Die Gute Fabrik's other game - B.U.T.T.O.N.

shoot many robuts QL was supposed to go up 15 minutes ago but it never did
it's another hour and a half until 8 on the west coast.
I can.
I bought the game yesterday after I watched theQL and read some of the glowing reviews. This game is really good. It has been a while since a side scrolling shooter has gotten me this excited. I can only recommend picking it up.
It said 2pm local for me but it isn't up. I guess the timetable is fucked up because of DST? We change our clocks on Sunday.

To be fair, Hungarian is a pretty unique case as far as European languages are concerned, as it's not derived from Indo-European and shares (and sounds) basically nothing like these. Finnish is another case like that.
That said, I'm all for bashing ignorant Americans so go ahead.
Sine Mora looks like a solid shooter, too bad it's 360 exclusive.

Ahhh, that makes sense. We've already changed ours.
I'm American, have never taken classes on an east Asian language nor have much exposure to east Asian language speaking people, but I can easily pick out Korean, Japanese and Chinese. Beyond that though, no clue.

Speaks for yourself please. I don't do such thing.

The way they were talking about the Hungarian language in that QL and the bombcast desreve a thousand faceplams.
Yeah, to a certain extend...
and its funny nevertheless
Yeah, to a certain extend...
Why? Do you think most Americans have ever heard Hungarian?
It's not exactly a prolific language, would europeans be able to pick out a cajun accent if they heard it?

where is my Kid Icarus: Uprising QL?
Because of Nintendo's stupid embargo no one can show footage of the game until it's actually out.

Exactly. Unless you can easily by accent distinguish between someone from Maryland, Boston, Tennese, Minnesota, Texas, and New York you really need to STFU with the endless "Hurr Hurr 'mericans can't instantly recognize Hungarian." FFS.
That was beside the point.
I am all for having second thought about a certain langauge if you never recognise it. However, the way they went on and on about it being close to german and not being a real language (and a made langauge for the game? WTF) was just beyond silly.
Stop being offended about us having a go about American ignorance. It just cheek-in-tongue (is that the right way of saying that term?)
Also, that Cajun comparison is silly, you might as well say bring Barbarian into the equation. Hungarian is a very original language that is not derived from any origin, but its hardly a niche language.
Good point.
Personally speaking, I am rubbish at this whole ''recognising languages'' so I am gonna go and try to diffrentiate people from Newcastle and Sunderland.
Accents are kind of a silly comparison. You probably can't recognize different German accents either.

According to this list on Wikipedia, there are 12.5 million people who speak Hungarian worldwide. I'd say that's almost the precise definition of "a niche language."
More people speak Azerbaijani.
Meh, it is spoken in Tinker Taylor Soldier Spy. That makes it mainstream.

Can you believe the Japanese didn't recognize Navajo during World War II? lol classic Japanese ignorance.
