Unpopular Opinions about Video Games

MGSV is the best of its series and it is in no small part due to how good a performance Keifer Sutherland gave. David Hayter was always decent as Snake, but he never really gave much in the way of impacta nd drama in his delivery. Venom had way too much nuance for him and Kojima was 100% right to hand it off to a more accomplished actor

You mean like the 20 minutes he was on the studio recording grunts?

85% of the guy's work in that game is in the last 4-5 tapes.

I like Kiefer Sutherland and I don't have any issues about the change of VOs, but Venom was a nothing character and Kiefer's talent was wasted.

noooooo you can't post unpopular opinions here, this this the thread for complaining about walking sims and DLC
 
I liked Dragon Age 2’s story. I thought it was different from the usual save the world and/or you’re the chosen one storylines extremely common in RPGs. The gameplay on the other hand was boring and broken.

I strongly disagree, but I will admit it is from a personal place.

Venom has every type of PTS and a highly fractured moral compass all while not really understanding who the hell he is, not just in the obvious way, but in a subconscious way of not feeling like he really knows how or what to do in his current situation, as it is alien in it's own nature to how he operated before becoming Snake. I've seen it in my own friends coming back from 20+ years of constant deployments, foreign service and contracting jobs. I've even felt a small amount of it myself. His quiet breathing, grunts, sighs and even labored "yeah's" are all things I've spent 1997-today seeing, doing and hearing about from others. When you come from combat, or any area with extreme moral ambiguity and a need to keep your mouth shut if not for OPSEC, but just to avoid catching immense amounts of shit on a personal or bureaucratic level, you communicate in a terse and minimalistic fashion when you're unsure. My wife knows when my friends and I are lost or unsure while going 4-wheeling when we start answering navigational questions with "yeah" and "no" without any explanation. My son knows not to ask for new toys/games/whatever when I come home from work and keep my words to as few syllables as possible. It's a survival trait that a great many people have but never actually understand or realize.

Everything Venom does or says follows that exact mindset, he's unsure, he's worried about the well-being of his men and he's trying to accomplish a job he isn't entirely understanding. He is so uncomfortable in his own skin that he wants to peel it off at times and it shows in the little ways Keifer verbalizes him. It is a fucking master class in personal discomfort and even disgust that I think it greatly overshadows a lot of his stage/screen work and I think it shows how unexperienced a lot of people are in dealing with this that they would cling to the past voice actor and complain about how well it was done in this.

I mean, fair enough my dude, but, as you said, a lot of this is personal or extratextual.

To me it just seems Kojima went with the semi-silent protagonist approach to do the meta MGS2 twist again. You were Big Boss all along and shit.

I get the issue with Venom from a writing angle, and how the twist was already given away by MGS4 and a little in 2. I'm just saying that Keifer himself did excellent work and that I think Hayter as an actor doesn't really have the depth of ability to do, which justifies Kojima's choice to recast it. But it would have been better if he had Hayter do Big Boss' lines at the beginning when he's escorting you out, but in a way that disguised his voice a little bit

I learned to talk like that from working entry-level jobs.

Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy has bad lightsaber combat. Much like Mount and Blade's combat, characters' legs move independently of the arms, so it never looks like the characters know how to use their lightsabers. Blocking and parrying don't feel right or even intentional. It doesn't even come close to the lightsaber combat in the movies.
