Taako is a Slytherin and Lup is a Gryffindor and you can fight me on that
Everyone is all scandalized and like “so do you two still get along orrrr?”
And the twins decide to play along and pretend like they now have this huge rivalry and they make a big show of publicly arguing about who’s in the better house and it usually ends with Lup whipping out her wand and challenging Taako to a duel and sometimes Taako just rolls his eyes and walks away because they don’t want detention that day, they both have plans, but sometimes he just grins and pulls out his wand and it ends with the corridor in flames and the twins storming off in a huff only to meet up somewhere away from everyone and laugh because did you see their faces Lulu??
I hope its ok to add on: but can we give Taako a Harry Potter moment. Like he SHOULD have been in Ravenclaw, the hat was inbetween but leaning towards Ravenclaw and Taako just responded with “I don’t look good in Blue” and before the hat even said anything he screamed “SLYTHERIN” and just hopped off.
Meanwhile when the hat hovered over Lup it almost caught fire and it yelped “GRYFFINDOR”
game devs could literally not use any famous actors in they shit and just go for talented veteran voice actors that can usually turn in a better vocal performance anyway and shave off millions from their budget they could use to improve the game and just
cut down the marketing a tiny little bit on the publisher’s part to save some money
so many huge devs and publishers have gone arrogant and are spending money all willy nilly on stupid crap rather than improving their games
As so many people have pointed out, ‘They could always just stop trying for the highest end of graphics and instead go for a set character style, which would save them a shitton of money on development and make for an iconic style to the game. Instead they spend money they don’t need to and then complain about the costs.’
golly gee you know what’s also crazy about that?
stylized games generally hold up far better than “attempted photorealism” games.
One of the best examples regarding the discussion of Art style > Technically better graphics is Wind Waker.
I mean, fuck. Look at this. This game is 15 years old already and looks so much better than a lot of modern stuff.
To further add to this:
Jet Set Radio
And Madworld.
Let me add this:
The original ps2 version of Okami
I feel like the projected need for hyper expensive photorealistic graphics is one of the biggest detriments of the modern gaming industry. A lot of publishers seem to have become absolutely terrified of anything experimenting with style and art design.
