"The Godfather game is better than the Godfather movie."
If there are still people that don't think Dan is just working everyone, I would like to see them.
How i've felt about Snake since the first MGS.

I find that it's more of a fault of the voice direction and lip syncing requirements than anything to do with the voice actor. MGS3 was made in the era when the distinct style of "anime voice acting" was at its highest peak of general hilarity post-millenium resurgence. It sounds like it was directed like an anime show. This is why I feel MGS1 had the "best" performances and direction, which was aided given the time it was made and the technical shortcomings therein (static faces, no lip movement, etc etc).
The voice acting in the MGS series got worse and worse as the series progressed. You only need to listen to David Hayter as Snake to tell, plain as day.

He was grinning from ear to ear as he said it. He wasn't really hiding it that well!

I'd be baffled if the VA in Phantom Pain is worse than the VA in Peacewalker.
In fact the VA in GZ and the PP trailers is already better than the VA of Peacewalker, but I've never found the VA in any MGS game to be considered remotely bad. Not when there's other Konami stuff like Suikoden V and Castlevania:SotN out there.
Yeah for sure, I'm not blaming the voice actress because she's been really good in other stuff. Trying to keep up with the lip syncing is a big part of what makes the delivery feel so forced and unnatural.
Go pick a bombcast thread at random from the past few months and you will see plenty of people who think Dan is deadly serious about everything he says.

the waluigi sign is up to $200 now. i guess i need to start sweating and pouring beer over my paper signs too because there's money in it.
"played us like a damn fiddle"
It's never been truly bad in the MGS series, but if we were to split the tone of those games into two distinct parts, one being campy over-the-top nonsense and the other absolutely serious war-thriller sensibilities, then the voice acting really only belongs on one of those sides most of the time.
I'm hoping for improvements with MGSV. It already sounds better than past games, despite the script doing its best to destroy all of that (i.e. "They played us like a damn fiddle!).
Yeah the lip syncing really ruins a lot of the peformances. compare the regular custscenes with the codec convos or monologues over film footage and it's easy to tell a big difference in quality.

the real winner in that review is imessage and emojis.
and i'm not surprised that it limps to the end. the two other souls games ive played (demon's & dark) pretty much went to poop at the end.

vote on who wants to change the thread title to "good and faithful friends ahead"
Probably what happened.
For example, the whole "She" part of his grammar is a super easy mistake for a french speaking person to make when learning english

Best RomCom on the interwebs, around the end that is.
I had never heard of Dyscourse before Giant Bomb released a video on it. I saw a handful of other videos and series for the game pop up quickly, but the Quick Look was in the first round of coverage and still might be the largest outlet to cover the game.
I imagine the developer already knows they looked at his game and don't need a code.
This is roughly the 83rd worst thing about that email, just felt I should point it out.
edit: Oh god "as much copies as you can"...Is this how those shady key resellers get their stock?

I'm pretty sure Dan Teasdale (or maybe somebody else) once sent a bunch of Bad Rats codes to somebody who tried the same scam. That's probably the best response possible.

not-so-fresh off my playthrough of MGS3 I'm now downloading MGS1 and Peace Walker.
I really, really want to play Peace Walker first because I love me some Big Boss but I feel like I should get a taste for where it all started first.
Unfortunately I have next to no desire to play MGS2 because MGScanlon made it seem like a not very fun game.

What!? MGS 2 is INCREDIBLY fun. If you know to use all your weapons and know how the AI works, it's alotta fun.

Right right I'm not doubting that it's fun to play, my desire to play it just isn't overwhelming because I've essentially already seen what it has to offer. All the wonder of a first playthrough is diminished. I'll probably get around to it, I just want to play MGS1 and PW first.
go forth and change!

If PR people fall for that, its their own damn fault
I bought Diablo 3 on PC because I was coming home drunk and convinced myself that paying for an online-only game was cheaper than paying for a PS4 to get access to offline Diablo.
I'm pretty sure I made the wrong decision, because the Bloodborne amazon deal just about got me to buy one but not before it expired.
Also because my weekend disappeared once I had new Diablo for the first time in 15 years.
Also also because I had a server error that kept me from signing in for 10-15 minutes and nearly put my fist through my monitor after being proven correct in my avoidance of ever buying an online-only game.
