i dont think almost any game needs voice dialog

2019-01-03 23:30:45 UTC  

grunts and deathscreams only

2019-01-03 23:32:17 UTC  

i dont mind something like the PA reading announcements when you walk through a hall

2019-01-03 23:32:28 UTC  

thats a good way to inject story, real passive

2019-01-03 23:33:59 UTC  

i dont mind voice acting, just make it good and consistent with what is occurring in the game

2019-01-03 23:34:17 UTC  

Totally non-controversial statement: Borderlands is the best game series ever.

2019-01-03 23:34:29 UTC  

eg. Don't have them say "Did you bring that thing I told you to get? You better have it."

2019-01-03 23:34:39 UTC  

borderlands gameplay sucks ass and the art is amazing

2019-01-03 23:34:41 UTC  

like you have to go through that line before delivering quest item

2019-01-03 23:34:58 UTC  

well gameplay should come before art always

2019-01-03 23:35:07 UTC  

What's wrong with the gameplay?

2019-01-03 23:35:11 UTC  

i think VA is a waste of money tbh because im then getting less gameplay

2019-01-03 23:35:27 UTC  

in fact hiring an actual writer is a needless expenditure

2019-01-03 23:35:35 UTC  

Borderlands 1 was best, to clarify. The pre-sequel was annoying due to annoying Australian accents.

2019-01-03 23:35:35 UTC  

@SarahCorriher it feels like its on rails

2019-01-03 23:35:49 UTC  

i only have 2 i think

2019-01-03 23:36:00 UTC  

@M4Gunner What kind of games are you playing? hall simulator?

2019-01-03 23:36:30 UTC

2019-01-03 23:36:36 UTC  

doom

2019-01-03 23:36:40 UTC  

school shooter simulator?

2019-01-03 23:36:43 UTC

2019-01-03 23:36:45 UTC  

thats fucked up

2019-01-03 23:36:54 UTC  

no i couldnt get Super Columbine RPG to run properly

2019-01-03 23:36:58 UTC  

haha

2019-01-03 23:37:27 UTC  

you know, radio chatter

2019-01-03 23:38:03 UTC  

so you dont like exposition in your games

2019-01-03 23:38:26 UTC  

if its fast enough its okay and i mean like 3 seconds

2019-01-03 23:38:37 UTC  

you want to pick up the story as you go from the environment

2019-01-03 23:38:40 UTC  

lots of games have lots of little tiny pauses

2019-01-03 23:39:02 UTC  

no the story is extra i dont need it to be there at all

2019-01-03 23:39:09 UTC  

you wot

2019-01-03 23:39:15 UTC  

it a game

2019-01-03 23:39:21 UTC  

test your skill

2019-01-03 23:39:25 UTC  

okay

2019-01-03 23:39:29 UTC  

look at the pretty explosions

2019-01-03 23:39:44 UTC  

hear the joy of enemy screams as they die

2019-01-03 23:39:58 UTC  

the *setting* should be coherent

2019-01-03 23:40:11 UTC  

I like the mystery though, and uncovering what happened

2019-01-03 23:40:36 UTC  

i think thats fine to do environmentally

2019-01-03 23:40:50 UTC  

it should be done that way

2019-01-03 23:40:54 UTC  

or you know, people tend to want some sort of fanfare when you beat the game
