Giga Man Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) The movie "300" is almost 9 years old. If I see the phrase "this is madness," I will legitimately laugh. I haven't heard that line since Smash Bros. Brawl's release where Ganondorf got a new forward tilt.

The DanMan Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) I'm glad 8-4 isn't working on this; I actually only found out about how Awakening was messed up through the shitshow that was the Gunvolt controversy. The vast majority of the text we've seen has been reasonably accurate (compared to 8-4 rewriting about 1/3 of Awakening), so I have at least some hope for the localization. EDIT: Gunvolt controversy?? Sorry to be off topic. I'll put the details in a PM. Edited January 21, 2016 by The DanMan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tolvir Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) I think it depends. If they are in a humorous situation to begin with, example being Gaius and MU support where Gaius says that "If it is ransom you want, I can assure you I don't have any money, but what I do have is a very particular set of honey cakes." That is pretty funny, made me laugh when I read it. Subtle references or jokes like that I am fine with. It is when they insert this stuff in a serious situation that I have a problem. I am also not big on the whole meme stuff like the Doge joke because overall I don't find them that funny. I would much rather a subtle pop culture reference to a movie or a game of some kind. I think Borderlands 2 did it perfect. It was filled to the brim with pop culture references, but they were subtle and only people who understood it would get the reference to begin with.

Roflolxp54 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I honestly don't mind it too much as long as there isn't too many that it gets ridiculous. For the case of Awakening, the only meme I could immediately recognize is the "My body is ready" one. And of course, there's Gaius and the Taken reference. I find it somewhat easier to find sexual innuendos than it is to find memes or pop culture references. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaghettimaster Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Probably. In Radiant Dawn they made references to Ike's "prepare yourself" all the time. (b8 set) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tolvir Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Personally I would love more subtle movie and game references. They are fun to look for and hilarious when you find them. Especially when they get into the cult classic/ older movies like a funny ghost busters or Conan the barbarian reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OH MY GOD BUT CAN YOU IMAGINE if they did an obvious ghostbusters one "kamui I TOLD YOU NOT TO CROSS THE STREAMS" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tolvir Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 OH MY GOD BUT CAN YOU IMAGINE if they did an obvious ghostbusters one "kamui I TOLD YOU NOT TO CROSS THE STREAMS" It would be the best line in the entire game, lol. IS needs to make this happen in some kind of dlc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbieRotten Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 If they do, this game will game will go from A- to A+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dualazi Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I really hope they don't personally, as memes, even the more subtle ones, tend to age like milk. They either fade in obscurity and make the dialogue nonsensical, or they appear as a cheap grasp at topical relevance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solrocknroll Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 so I was playing Ace Attorney Justice for All today and then while I was playing Farewell, My Turnabout, Maya says "for great justice!" and now my views on references in games is that a little subtlety is key Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tolvir Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) Did anyone notice the Princess Bride reference in Inigo's Paralogue? The girl he is talking to he calls Buttercup. Don't know if it was intentional or not but it sounds like it was meant as a reference to Princess Buttercup from Princess Bride because of Inigo using the same name as Inigo Montoya. Makes me wish they would of had a good "My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die" reference in the game somewhere.

I do not think it means what you think it means" in her support with Inigo as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Respite&Nepenthe Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Nuke the script, replace it all with doge memes. ...No, not really. I'd rather memes were not implemented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
