His voice acting parody also seems spot on here. I’m more surprised no one ever talks about how voice acting in video games has been very stagnant. Not since the PS3 days has this been noticeable.
@Scarlett Johansson and I have been complaining about that for awhile. They don't bring in anyone that aren't their friends or the unions deliberately fuck over any new talent in favor of old. Even Texas without their unions falls prey to the former cronyism where people go, "Who should we hire?" "How about Big Name™?" "Okay, but then who after?" then Big Name™ interjects and says Big Friend™. It's trash. I don't think they have any casting calls at all.

Personally, I knew voice acting was going to go downhill the minute I found that Drake was almost in Gears Of War:


Instead, they replaced him with Micheal B. Jordan. If we’re being fair, this (slightly) made sense:

apologies for calling David Cage's women androgynous twigs. Some of them have curves, so that's nice. Seems like he has a fetish for a specific woman so keeps shoehorning those poorly animated lewd scenes.
I don't think Cage is woke, but he could actually use some "diversity" because I won't be able to handle another Cage's self insert "nice guy" chosen ones. Marcus at least had some charisma but no wonder most people found Connor the most interesting character, and he's actually a re-written autistic FBI agent from Heavy Rain. Cage does love his archetypes.

Edit: white ho cannot dance sexy to save her life

I think it was Super Best Friends that pointed out that David Cage seems to have a type and a fetish, since many of his games have the Elan Page type that almost gets raped by some thug.

Why does Sam have to be right all the time?
The problem I have with the video is that Bastion is almost a decade old.

It would be like complaining that games are all 2D 8 bit mascot platform games while Resident Evil, Mario 64, and Half-Life are popular.

I honestly find Cage's "romance" scenes way more disturbing than attempted rape. Heavy Rain is the worst offender because Madison actually seemed like an interesting character. Yeah, she shows off her tits to a pervert but she's a journalist who isn't afraid to get her hands dirty, nor she allows to be victimized by it.
And then there's her "romance" scene:
"I think I'm a serial killer and killed my son"
"lol no, I can prove it"
*qte sex*
"I can't believe you're a journalist and you lied to me, you bitch"
"lol yeah, sorry about that, I actually totally love you now, forget about your kid, I'll give you a new one"

Then you didn't watch it, because Sam expressed that he thinks it's some sort of platform/exploration game, but he can't get into the gameplay because it(to Sam) has such an annoying and unnecessary narrator that has wet-mouthed, gross sounds that it prevents him from getting past the 5-minute mark. The bulk of the video is complaints about voice-acting in videos games, which is provably not needed based on 30+ years of games not having the technology for it, but when they do add it in there is sometimes poor quality that's strange for such high-budget production.

TFW the entire dev team is so autistic they consider empathy a superpower.
It's not really empathy, it's more or less that her power is an invasion of privacy,


Also I'm noticing both sides have been reduced to screaming about The White Man© being the big evil that's destroying gaming. 4chan is sounding no different than resetera.

It's like you people have no concept of history if you're thinking everyone is going to follow Ubisoft's spectacle. The French have always been the ones to lead themselves off a cliff and nobody follows them. There was only one time that people did and it was people gullible enough to found Canada.

And isn't "oddball FBI Agent" taken from Twin Peaks?
