Life is Strange had the voice direction that made you think that maybe English was the voice directors second language.

Quantic Dream games have it too. So do a lot of Final Fantasy games.


Like they get good actors but the way they deliver the lines or the takes that are put in the game just feel a bit off.


Life is Strange was the double whammy of ESL + "how do you do, fellow kids".

There were some clunky lines in Life is Strange but watching that Horizon scene where you talk someone down from jumping and the Life is Strange scene where you talk someone down from jumping, it's kind of insulting to the latter to compare the two.

Oh man now that you mention that, it makes the horizon scene look worse in comparison.

But.. Don't they record at their hotel?

No, they haven't always been recording at a hotel. They did a house by USC for a couple years. Three years ago it was a random storefront in downtown LA (the one with the murder loft) Another year was at a skeezy film studio in the LA Arts District (where all their gear got jacked).

In fairness, one is an important story scene and the other is a random sidequest. It's bad, but it's about what I've come to expect from a sidequest in an open world RPG (except maybe Witcher 3).

Yeah the Kate moment is the climax of an episode so it's got a bit more pathos.

I just don't think Life is Strange ever gets that bad, defence of Spirits within aside.

Porn set came after store front. Their stuff getting jacked was the end of their dodgy off site rentals.

I believe the order is

South Central Student Digs x 2
Murder house / store front
Porn Set
Hotel Conference Rooms x 2
 
I am going to make a Vince Russo comment about Austin going to Waypoint and getting free reign, and I hope this thread understands. He need the Giant Bomb McMahon to filter him.

Any Vince Russo comparison falls apart when I can't picture myself laughing as somebody goes red in the face screaming about how much they hate him.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
Sleeping Dogs is a decent game. But not much more. I like it more than SR3 or GTA V, not that that means a lot since I don't care for either of those games.
