The Giant Bomb Quick Look Thread 2

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?

You can thank Xmen tv show for that.

I thought Brad was saying that he didn't realise that the voices were speaking in Hungarian, not that he wasn't aware it was a language (though he could also have thought that). It isn't unusual for games to utilise nonsense AV after all.
 
Less than .15% of the world speaks Hungarian. How would you describe a language like that?

Little-known might be a better term, which niche isn't a synonym for. But even that isn't accurate. That .15% is still over ten million people and a population that is for the most part thriving.

I'm not really objecting to the idea that Hungarian is probably an obscure language to Americans, I'm objecting to the use of the word 'niche' to describe languages that aren't programming languages.

Yeah niche shouldn't be used to describe an actual language lol.
 
I lived in Hungary for 2 years, and if you would have told me that was a made up language, I would have believed you. It's pretty goofy sounding still to me.
 
No, no, no

YES YES YES and Justin Calvert as well they were two of the crazies with the same personality as Giant Bomb Crew. Lets put Jodie on to moderate the chat as well...

...actually scrap that last part. But if we are going to get cross overs in the future might as well be those two as well as John. But after those 3 there is no one else personality wise that fits with the Giant Bomb mantra.
 
Hmm, approximately 20 seconds of gameplay in the first 9 minutes of this Quick Look? Yep, that's a Ryan Davis Quicklook all right.

Vinny seems really doubtful about the controls. Not having played it, they don't seem real obvious. Why not use the right stick?

It kinda play like Contra.
 
Gameplay starts 9 minutes in for those interested...

Jeez :/. This is why I can't stand a Ryan-played QL. He over analyzes and over explains every single little fucking thing without playing shit. I want to see the game being played, not have a boring lecture on the every little feature.

If you'd prefer to watch him spend ten minutes on some cauldron boss in Rayman 3 HD be my guest and watch it. I had to skip over it.
