@zerojuice: You're tired of him voicing every CGI movie lead character? Really? Four roles in a decade is every CGI movie lead character? Yes, hiring actual voice actors would be preferable, but studios want a name to promote their movies. He's as good as any other actor who has done voice work, and all name actors just sound like themselves because that's why they're there. He did more to try and do a voice than anyone else did in the Mario movie.
There's been nothing to complain about with any of his animated roles. It's a moot point anyway. Chris Pratt voicing Link wouldn't make a lick of sense.
@s0ldier69: Um, what? He's in 1.5 popular TV shows and might be in a movie that's years away. The vast majority of "traditional white male roles", whatever that means, still go to white males.
@Xerosch: And I platinumed few Yakuza games. only Y5 and Y7 took ages nearing 100hr. Most sub stories usually last around 10-20mins you can comfortably see most thing in a Yakuza game in around 20hours.
A lot of the best stuff in the series is the side stuff. If you're done with a Yakuza after 20 hours, you're skipping the majority of the side stuff. 20 hours is basically just the story in almost all of them.
@joecollin: It's 3 fantastic games released for platforms that you couldn't easily play the games on, plus 2 games no one actually wants to play, for a pretty reasonable price. Expecting them to do more is silly. Modders have done more for every PC game than the developers have ever done. It's not a Konami thing.
The majority of people don't want to go through the hassle and sketchiness of emulators and mods and now there's an easy way to play these games. Also, since the mods exist, what's the incentive for Konami to redo work that's already readily available?
If you want MGS3 for PC that is a modern game, that's coming too. I'm much happier their putting their efforts towards that than wasting resources on trying to put makeup on a pig that is the ugly-ass PS1 and PS2 games.
@naryanrobinson: The games are good, bud. Great package if you don't have the previous edition or want to play them on a modern console. Not really much to complain about.
The price seems fair. 3 of the games are easily worth $20. Also, it's a video game so it'll be 50% in about a month.
@jenovaschilld: This wasn't a tiny company trying to break into the industry. They've been at this for 15+ years. If you're entering into a handshake agreement where a company can just decide to not pay you for no reason and bankrupt you, there's a large part of that that's on you.
Would your family agree to a job on a handshake deal that would bankrupt you if they decided not to pay you after the work was done? If yes, send me a DM and I'd be more than happy to negotiate your future deals.
@jenovaschilld: I don't know where you're working, but a handshake deal is definitely not the norm in the industry, especially for established studios. When a studio contracts another studio to do work for them, there's a contract. They can't just say, "Well, you've done everything we agreed upon in the contract, but we decided we're not going to pay you."
Maybe the client backed out of a deal before any work was done, but that shouldn't cause your company to go under if it's competently run.
