I hope the voice acting doesn't ruin it (there was none in any version of the PS2 game)
Gotta warn though, the good ending is fucking hard to get in Nocturne. Well the bad ending. But the bad ending is the good ending in this game.
nice, i'll probably pick luigi and paper mario on the next round... thanks :tuQuote:

I'm regretting not getting a PS4 instead of my xbone on that blackfriday 2 years ago :(
Never understood buying an XBox One unless one is a huge fan of Halo or Forza. Series X makes a lot more sense since it's more powerful than PS5 and they're actually getting ports of all the good third party games now and they have added some hiqh quality first party studios in Obsidian and Ninja Theory. But XBox One was basically a failed HTPC and that campaign to target casuals made them cheap out on gpu and not give a shit about actually getting games people wanted. Don Mattrick really fucked the XBox brand over thinking he'd make into another Wii but with television support.Quote:

Also lol at Don Mattrick's answer to people who don't like the always-on DRM the XB1 was originally going to have (which would have ensured not being able to play used games for example)

Rumor is it's coming Fall 2021, so if true they're way farther along than that.Quote:

Much more than when I was just doing exercises out of the standard first and second year textbooks (Genki I & II -- Tobira is one of the standard third year books). Here is an example of what I mean by the virtual flash cards -- here's the front of one card from Sailor Moon:Quote:

Mou! Motto hayaku okoshite yo! Mama no baka!
Damn! You were supposed to wake me up earlier, god! Dumbass mom!
And then on the back I'll have the word I wanted to learn and it's translation.. e.g,
もう
Geez / Damn / God / Shit
But not the translation of the sentence since I only put a sentence in if I understand it other than say one word.
A question:Quote:

Japanese to me is a cool language that I'm actively engaged to learn but not this deep. Basically I want to watch a show or movie without the subs one day.
I tried one of those dumb binaural sleeping videos in youtube. You dont learn shit.
Besides it's highly basic.
Because I want to play games in their original language, read manga, and watch anime in the original language. I'm also part Japanese so it's a cultural thing too. Even being very very far from fluent, I pick up a lot of stuff in Japanese games that's not localized in the English version of the game.Quote:

There are some things that are easy in Japanese like the sound system since it doesn't have tones like Chinese dialects or Vietnamese does, but most parts of it are pretty hard. The writing system is just a total mess since they stapled the Chinese writing system on top of the Japanese language maybe 1000-2000 years ago and then later created two "alphabets" (really syllabaries) called hiragana and katakana from those kanji, though those two are the same sounds but just different symbols (katakana is usually used for western loanwords for example). But there is no way to learn it without thousands of hours of exposure.Quote:

BUT OF COURSE I HAVEN'T TOUCHED A SINGLE old Xbox game since I got the XBone.
I def made a mistake. Waiting this long for FF7R and missing out on these PS only releases suck.
fuck you all, that Halo segment made me jizz my pants :lol glad they are going to be releasing it on PC from now on, literally no reason to buy an Xbox ever again :tu unless of course there is a really nice limited edition console for a game i have a huge boner for like cyberpunk 2077
Ghost of Tsushima :bobo
