yfw you realize the reason Nintendo's been mum about a Twilight Princess port is that they're working on a Twilight Princess DX and the rumors of a Zelda remake in the works is it.

Yup. I'm thinking we're back.

Romancing Saga 2 vs. 3?
Which do you like better?

>where did you learn to fly?

These are the most emulated retro game consoles/platforms on the Steam Deck, according to a 2023 Steam Deck survey.

What the fuck were they thinking with the thwomp placement in this game?

So, I did an experiment with an AI Voice Swapper to dub the FF8 Possessed Edea speech, using FFXIII Lighting voice for her (Hank Hill stars for a cameo as Deling).

Would you like to actually see (mostly retro) games being re-released with the added option to switch voice acting on\off?

You think companies, with all the budget have, cop you out by not adding it to these games that could benefit from it or, at least, at a further motivation to try them again?

This is fucking rough to watch now that the veil is broken. I used to let these people influence my young minds opinion about things. Have you guys ever gone back to see how horrible some of these "game journalists" are. Not just g4, but it seems like all the old magazines were just full of shit. Even Nintendo power was guilty of being shit on a few occasions. Was this really better than us(actual gamers) arguing about what's good amongst ourselves?
