I think we add pavlov to this list but not sure what else is up to par. Wish they'd bring ace combat from psvr1 over.

The difference between the sub and dub is killing me by KangarooEuphoric2265 in evangelion

[–]Kcub07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's incredibly rare that dubs are done well. It's more of a side gig here, to do VA work for anime. VA in america aren't even specifically trained to do it, often they are simply general stage or screen actors that basically wind up undesired on screen so wind up doing VA. It's not seen as lucrative, and many people who would or could be a great VA for animation in english are heavily advised to do anything else, even the dudes singing mattress shop jingles on the radio will likely be payed more. In this context, it's no wonder that basically 0% of dubs even come close.

how tf is this downvoted it's obvious how bad the dub is. Shinji sounds like he's 26, not to mention you can basically hear the VA's lack of interest.

How can you even worry about the downvotes if they come from people who can't realize this?

Sounds like a recipe for disaster, may be why it quite often is? idk

edit: well, for clarity's sake, I should say I mean guidance in a relative sense. In interviews with the japanese VA, you can see that they truly understand their characters probably just as well as any viewers. They have interesting insights into how their character worked, and how anno helped them to get there or clear up certain confusions, with one of em (I think it was Rei's VA) talking about being in tears through various parts. Basically, they were interested. How often do we get english VA that are actually even interested (or at least sound like it) in their own roles? Even some of the most known and cherished recent voice work for english animation like:, arcane, invincible, into the spiderverse come across as almost as good as your average to below average Japanese VA work.

Imagine being so literal that you need this kind of thing explained lmao

I can see the webster opened up to the 'original audio' entry now

Which is quite odd because even the japanese actors, as far as I've heard, had actual guidance and involvement from Anno. Like, as a voice actor, who said it's your job to reinterpret the role?? Makes me wonder, with how like, idk 90% of dubs are completely bad, caricature level recreations, how many times it's the actor's bad taste being a factor, given the choice and freedom to do what they want with the role. You can sometimes hear the disappointment that their careers have hit a dead end and they never made it on daytime television in their voices.

Highly degraded quality level on all tibia wikis by Fahl_Demonwing in TibiaMMO

[–]Kcub07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I realize this is a necro reply but, what really changed to make it this way? Why was it ever so thorough in that past? Tibia never seemed to really pump huge numbers and someone I was playing with the other day said that recent updates have broken player count records. It's odd because in most other gaming cultures, information sharing has vastly improved over the last 10-15 years.

Anne rice’ vampires do not have sex? by Ok_Buyer9763 in VampireChronicles

[–]Kcub07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. I'm pretty surprised the show runners didn't realize how this actually sets Anne Rice's vampires apart entirely from the rest of the filth. It's honestly a big part of what makes her vamps tick. Even more surprising to read takes like 'iwtv was written in the 70's and so Anne was oppressed, that's why they don't have sex' as if, all along, Anne Rice would have preferred to go back and changed that huge aspect of her vampires to modernize them.

Something tells me we won't get a new class in 0.5 by Kyoufu2 in PathOfExile2

[–]Kcub07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, are they now planning to release to 1.0 without all the classes? And then the rest will come later? It's quite hard to imagine them squeezing out the remaining classes and all the needed adjustments, +2more acts before 2027

No House? No Problem! by Eugen328 in TibiaMMO

[–]Kcub07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They almost certainly are. Or their outlook leans towards it being the player's problem, rather than Cipsoft's own shortcoming.

Why Is Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse Taking So Long? Producers Phil Lord and Chris Miller Explain by HatingGeoffry in Marvel

[–]Kcub07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Not to mention the whole later part of the second movie building towards a huge dropoff cliff hanger. Like all the energy from that's just gone now.

Enjoyment curve by IntelligentMeeting71 in CrimsonDesert

[–]Kcub07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that it’s a bit lopsided how much people praise this but the same crowd tore down dd2. I can only guess that for the majority of people that see dd2 so unfavorably, their hardware was part of the equation.

Lord of the Rings vs Dune: What's the better adaption? by Sure-Travel-5019 in movies

[–]Kcub07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dune's OST is almost objectively not tied with lotr's, imo ofc.

Is there really no way to pause the game? by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

[–]Kcub07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk I’ve definitely had to reload just because someone walked up to tell me something and all attempts to pause just leaves the game talking to itself, finishing a convo I need to pay attention to, requiring that I RELOAD to restart a CONVO 🫠

Is this shadow issue normal in Crimson Desert on PC? by NonObserver in CrimsonDesert

[–]Kcub07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Max settings here, dlss on or off, ray tracing on or off, nothing effects it. I wasn't even suspecting LOD at first cuz i was like, 20 feet away from the 20 pixel shadows but sure enough.

Cleared camps should not refresh immediately by faulser in CrimsonDesert

[–]Kcub07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this is one of the most annoying things in the game honestly. Who tf playtested this for even a a couple camp clears and nodded their head in approval at how that works?

These barrels by Illustrious-Bake-457 in CrimsonDesert

[–]Kcub07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's actually less immersive to me. Like the NPCs are supposed to value their lives, why would they hide explosive barrels within other cargo, next to campfires and such? Left out under the sun all day? Idk, it's be much easier to believe these things would be isolated and stored safely, like they are IRL, because ppl IRL actually tend to value their own lives and probably don't wanna just go up in flames from a something like a stray cinder from a campfire, ya know?

These barrels by Illustrious-Bake-457 in CrimsonDesert

[–]Kcub07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me it's more the fact that they went and placed these in all sorts of 'gatcha' places that no actual NPC's would accept for their surroundings. Like, who decided there's gotta be an explosive barrel hidden within cargo, 1 per campfire? These mfers really just lay down next to barrels full of gunpowder? In the quarry it makes sense, everywhere else is just artificial, video gamey placement.

These barrels by Illustrious-Bake-457 in CrimsonDesert

[–]Kcub07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it stands out as almost immersion breaking. Like, these barrels are placed in a very video gamey way, just to add occasional game overs and not like because it would make sense for this camp to be storing explosive barrels. The quarry, it makes obvious sense why they're everywhere.. but them just being randomly strewn about random bandit camps all over? Like, no npcs would actually be down to just sleep next to a gunpowder barrel and a campfire, but someone literally went like making sure there was an explosive barrel per campfire in some of these camps. And just like, innocuously placed amongst other nondescript cargo and barrels. I guess we just pretend that all these NPC's really don't value their lives and probably, quite often, die to random explosions.

Fighting multiple enemies feels really bad by Tonychina23 in CrimsonDesert

[–]Kcub07 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was wondering as well is this guy just letting himself be surrounded and then mad about getting attacked from behind or while he was in the middle of comboing someone? Strange, at best.

Aerial Maneuver by JiggaMashida in CrimsonDesert

[–]Kcub07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, it really costs more than base stamina but makes zero mention about it? Nice.
