Oh, savage.

This column is awful.

TIL famitsu has a pretty small readership

I am perfectly satisfied with VO I can understand. CAN I PLEASE TURN THE SUBS OFF?

....so people who prefer the Japanese VO in games, how can you tell if that VO is any good at all? Or is it just good *because* it’s in Japanese?

But the developer didn’t back away from it because they felt it was an improvement to the game; the Japanese version still holds the original text. They did it because they didn’t want to offend people, which isn’t even the same as wanting the content to carry the same meaning in the West as in Japan.

This is the key and why I used such volatile language instead of fact-based arguments (which someone else chastised me for). Once the full details were made apparent to me its just so black and white that this is a guy in a position of influence attempting something nobody at all agreed with, most especially the…

My reaction was visceral and emotional. It still is. Sure, I have an argument, and it relates. But that’s not what I posted.

That does not explain WHY they didn’t fire him. I assuming he has some redeeming qualities. None on display here.

So not only did the wordplay not localize, the developer themselves backed entirely away from the gag when the first part of the conversation was tabled.

....you do not demonstrate commitment to principles. You demonstrate commitment to your own self importance and being an asshole, and worse: being loud about it. I…

I have a friend who also swears by their Tiles and it baffles me. If I lose my keys within the Bluetooth proximity of my phone its gonna take all of 5 minutes to search the entire relevant area.

So people say that Henry Kissinger doesn’t care. At least he has nicer legs than Hitler, and bigger tits than Cher.

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH PARENTS THAT ENABLE THIS HORSESHIT?

I really like that tweet you embedded as it highlights a real issue I’ve been seeing with addressing all sorts of problematic behavior by people. What I mean by this is that there seems to be a component of human frailty that is done an immense disservice by the limits we have on our current public discourse. The only…

I agree that tantrums are sometimes warranted. I would agree that this case may be a great example of that.

I am an outlier who adored Law and Order: Original Flavour far above and beyond everything else that was to come.

I don’t think this is right. I have not searched for or reviewed the material, but am working with your description alone. Anyway his mental state would speak directly to his ability to understand what is going on around him and act accordingly. Now of course any deficiency in his mental state that did something to…

I really didn’t know where to put my thoughts, but decided I wanted to commit to expressing them, so I’m arbitrarily sticking them here.

I am not comfortable with the degree that Law and Order and Law and Order : Special Victims Unit are conflated in this conversation.

Heh. I’ve decided not to do Microsoft consoles anymore, and my desktop is an iMac so I only play games like Cities Skylines or Civilization on it. Thanks for trying to help :)

I really really really liked Alan Wake. My X360 has been broken for 5 years and I keep holding on to the idea of repairing it just so I could play Alan Wake again.
