Damn. Between this and the Nintendo Direct my video game budget just skyrocketed.

Oh hey this looks like Danganronpa.
I just finished the last game in that series a few months ago, so I both want a sequel and hate myself for wanting a sequel...I think? That series is a trip, but this seems like a successor series maybe, and possibly a different genre. It has 3d elements at the very least.

Unforutnately, I was busy with work and didn't really get to play it during the demo period, and that trial has now passed.
I'm probably going to actually buy it at some point but I have such a backlog and I'm not too keen on PvP. it DOES have a PvE roguelike mode though apparently and that may be more my thing..

I asked this in the movie thread but I guess I’ll ask it here to, is anyone looking forward to the new Borderlands movie? Or do you just have negative opinions on all video game movies?
-
…….What Borderlands movie?
-
@Time-Control-Magician all I know is that it exists and is supposed to come out this year, and that Jack Black, Kevin Hart and Cate Blanchett are in it
-
Oh yea now I remember. Guess they’re still going for it then

Big oof. It seems the reason why they changed Bayonetta's va was because they offered her only 4k for the entire game.

By the way, BEWARE OF MY RULES."

The reply is so funny to me, especially the last line.

I thought Kamiya was cool.

I have a really hard time believing big-time voice actor Jennifer Hale would replace her for an “insulting” amount of money. Most likely we don’t know the whole story, and that callout tweet is super rude and unprofessional on multiple levels.
-
Either way someone’s reputation is going to shit once the dust settles.
-
Speaking of Bayonetta it seems there giving her her own Nero (Devil May Cry) or Raiden (Metal Gear Solid) or so it would seem, Viola

Likewise, isn't a $4k payment rude and unprofessional? Genuinely not trying to sound snarky here. I don't blame her for trying to shed light on VAs being taken advantage of. I'm not inclined to give the benefit of the doubt to a large game studio that could easily afford to pay the talent their worth and chose not to.
A lot of speculation I'm seeing is that she was offered a low amount purposefully so she would decline, and they could go forward with another voice actor (for something more than $4k, I'm sure). Not to excuse to lack of ethics, but that seems to explain the reasoning behind it.

I guess it was unprofessional of her, and the entire act burned a lot of other bridges as well, but I assume it's not about being professional or not at this point. She's so disgruntled with the industry that she doesn't see herself in it anymore anyway?
So at least she got it off her chest, which I can sympathize with. Few people will actually boycott anything (no matter what it is), the industry also won't change because of her, but they're also not getting away with the usual PR bullshit either to calm those who do have an issue with VA changes.

All I’m saying is we’ve only heard one side and it doesn’t exactly add up. Even if she’s telling the truth, she lost all my sympathy when she started going on about how she is the only true Bayonetta and nobody can replace her.

Yeah claiming she's the one true Bayonetta was a bit odd (but I can see it), but I still don't see how that suddenly discredits her from any sympathy in this situation.
Especially when it's one person vs. a giant company, saying "let's wait until we hear from the giant on the matter" is harsh if that's a prerequisite for you to believe them.Nintendo/Platinum are unlikely to say anything about this, anyway. Whatever the case, I won't be buying the game in an official capacity, probably just buy it used somewhere off a local market (not Gamestop. Never Gamestop).

It's hard to feel sympathetic toward someone who is making selfish/arrogant claims, demanding boycotts at the last minute, and who doesn't necessarily sound genuine.
There's this article that came out recently which paints a very different picture:
It's by Jason Schreier, whom I consider to be a general asshole and absolutely not the "true journalist" his inflated ego believes he is, but oh well.
Regardless of the claims' validity, games are about way more than the VAs, and there's no way I'm going to withhold my support for a unique product from an overall great company with lots of hard-working employees that I would like to encourage. There definitely IS a conversation to be had about voice work (and localization in general) being an underappreciated and underpaid industry, especially in the U.S., but I don't think this here is the right battle. Ironically the one place I don't think VA work is lacking in respect or pay is Japan, and this is a Japanese dev with a Japanese publisher lol.

A Minecraft server I'm in has started a community pixel art area,
and I'm the second person so far to try building something.
