Stray always seemed like a game that started and stopped with the pitch of "you play as a cat!" and that appealed to a certain group of people who really like cats but then it's like how do you make that interesting and the answer always came back to "but you play as a cat!"

This is based solely on second hand information but literally no one I've talked to who has played it has been able to sell me on it without going "well I like cats and you play as a cat!"

I think it would be hard to argue that any of those different versions of, or expansions upon, those universes are equal or even in the same vicinity would be about impossible. Which is probably why you just said there are problems with each, pointed out that LOTR wasn't a 1:1 adaptation of the books, and didn't mention the Witcher one.

Greatest. WoW and Fortnite. No.

Important, yes.

Groundbreaking, probably.

Greatest, no.

"And yet, every single character has been played by other people (and better, in almost every case) and in some cases they are the worst person who has played them. Also you're putting live action and voice acting together here. Also Daniel Day Lewis could play anyone and be perfect for it he's Daniel Day Lewis. "

Would love to see that. Would also love to see Daniel Day Lewis play Monica Lewinsky while Monica Lewinsky plays Bill Clinton.

Saying someone shouldn't voice certain characters isn't saying they couldn't. It's saying they would be a bad fit. I was talking about acting. But voicing works for the examples too.

Saying Kristen Stewart wouldn't play/voice as good a Joker or Willem Dafoe isn't saying she wouldn't be good at all. It's saying Dafoe would be better. And "you never know" isn't an argument.

The reality of movies is that you need to sell to an audience and despite what people on the internet think, movies and shows based on source material are not made to sell things solely to that audience because that is not how money is made (and also they have every reason to believe that the people who complain the loudest will watch it anyway). This is why animated movies from studios and even Ghibli dubs cast actors that normies have heard of. This is why Chris Pratt is Mario and Jack Black is Bowser and this is why Sandra Bullock was in the Minions movie and why Benedict Cumberbatch was the Grinch and why Chris Evans was fuckin Buzz Lightyear. The only difference between a movie and a series is that a series is more likely to cast voice actors and not celebrities doing voice work, but even still in a movie you're going to have to expect a celebrity cast because that's how the business works.

But obviously they're not going to do whatever hypothetical stunt casting that people say. They're not stupid but also if someone can't get past a celebrity actor in a voice performance then that's moreso on the individual. The only difference between casting, say, Daisy Ridley as Zelda or Emily O'Brien is that most people have heard of who Daisy Ridley is. No one should even assume 'Beyonce as Zelda' both because she's not exactly the first choice in most movies considering her blatant lack of a wide filmography and because there are way more obvious celebrities that I have to wonder why the first choice wouldn't be Taylor Swift.

Video game movies are not hard to make anymore.

Anyway, One Piece Odyssey is pretty good


>They aren't hard to make, but I think the entire argument here can, and should, be boiled down to the ease of creation versus quality and the relation each has to the target audience. Now people who aren't fans won't give a shit one way or another more or less, about the source material or otherwise, but fans will. And if your target audience is in any way the fans, then making something like the Resident Evil films or series, both of which are just shit let's be honest here, or that Halo tv show, is not a good call. It might be easy, but it sure as hell isn't good. Fans care about how good it is and how much it lines up with whatever is being adapted, not how easy it is to make. The same goes for literature as well. Call me old fashioned, even though I'm only 22, but I still think that companies should be obligated to make quality products and not easily consumed swill to keep feeding our rapid spiral into artificially induced ADHD and general retardation.

>As for agendas and all the other non-sequitering crap that's been mentioned thus far... honestly I don't give a shit. Those are temporary, as are the people who may or may not make them. They are beneath the terms of this discussion.

>Now going back to video games, Stellaris is finally getting a story pack for primitives. I'm torn between excitement and disgust at not having what should have been a fundamental part of the game be a part of the game from the get-go. But on the other hand, I get more options when experimenting on-I mean contacting and observing less advanced species. Or I will when it's finally released rather.

>I'd love it more myself if they one, did more to optimize the way it handles pops, and two finally stopped updating it and declared it complete. Having 10+ DLC is just asinine in my opinion, especially ones as minor as adding more events and mechanics to primitives, something that should have been there in an early patch or part of the base game from the start.

♫ This is the game that never ends.
Yes, it goes on and on my friend.
♫


Baba is You is a great challenge. (Because the developers came up with every single conceivable puzzle imaginable using its core premise.)

But it was starting to grow a little stale for me (halfway into my nearly thirty hours), and the game had way too many puzzles that I didn't find personally rewarding to solve. So I "beat the game" and installed something else.

(Still probably the 'least obviously flawed' of the three puzzle games that I played though...)


Watched someone play Forspoken on Twitch, and it was pretty bland looking. (And Twitch only continues to become less user friendly every time I look at it.)

Sony and Microsoft are pimping out two hundred dollar controllers "WITH REMAPPABLE BUTTONS LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!"

What A PC? Never heard of it.

Hi-Fi RUSH, which came out today after being announced today, is fucking awesome. It's a rhythm character action game where all your hits attack on beat but if you time your attacks on beat they do more damage and heavy attacks use the off beat. Everything in the world moves to the beat of the song so you can use that or just feel it to know the timing. It's got a great aesthetic and also the first boss is set to a fuckin Nine Inch Nails song and is the hypest shit since Rules of Nature

I still have no idea what that game is supposed to be about. The only thing I've even heard about it is people meming the part about a talking gun to death in regards to writing/comparing it to High On Life.
