So it turns out that Corvo will no longer be silent in Dishonored 2.
He'll now be voiced by Stephen Russel, who was the original voice of Garrett in the first three Thief games, Cogsworth, Nick Valentine, Mercer Frey, and many more.
I'm totally okay with this change.
oh hell yea. Stephen Russell is my fav voice actor...probably because I grew up on Thief, which also happens to be my favorite game.
As if I wasn't excited enough for Dishonored 2. You have made my morning, Reddaye.

It's funny, because a long time ago on twitter this was the one thing I remember talking to Harvey about the most. Dishonored actually felt, excuse the pun, dishonored by the fact they didn't give Corvo a voice. That they have gone and got Garrett to do it? Absolutely smashing.

While I've never completed a Thief game, Garrett's voice in those first three always stood out to me. That voice actor never seemed to get much work. The last thing I was aware of him being in was the Bioshock Infinite gameplay trailer before he got replaced by Troy Baker in the final game.
His imdb page shows he was in a few other games, including Fallout 3 and Skyrim, but I never noticed his voice.

I like Troy Baker a lot, but I was very disappointed with that replacement.
And I certainly agree that his voice really sticks out as Garrett. Not only well acted, but it's just a very unique and striking voice, I think. If he uses a similar voice for Dishonored, I'll almost feel like I finally am getting another proper Thief game =p.

I do what I can . Karma even rewarded me with a five dollar bill on my walk this morning.
Certainly happy to hear Stephen Russel will be doing the voice. I'm curious to find out if he's using his Garrett voice, or something different. Russel is pretty talented and has a good range of voices. I'd love him to use Garrett's voice. Dishonored in many ways feels like a spiritual successor to the Thief series. It would be quite fitting, I think.
Anyone hoping that with Blizzard stealing all the TF2 and MMOBA crowd from Valve that Valve will feel like it has to actually get back into games and make us fucking HL3?
This ends on Wednesday I think. Chaotic uncertainty.
Made some decent progress on Trails in the Sky SC over the weekend. Halfway through Chapter 7 currently. Out of I believe 9, maybe 10.
I will finish you game!
There's a smidge of time left to enter this. In other news I have not played any more Trails in the Sky. Hearthstone & Overwatch.
How did I end up back to giving Blizzard all my game time?
You can play Emily in Dishonored 2 instead of just Corvo?
Interest = Interest + 100%
I don't know if it's confirmed, but the first trailer and lore tidbits certainly seem to be pointing to that being the case.
It's been confirmed. Her powerset is different too. The shadow tentacle grappling hook thing from the trailer is her version of Corvo's forward warp.
Has it? Awesome. All the more pumped!
I hope they go into a lot more of the lore surrounding the Outsider, which I assume is how Emily has powers as well.
The Banner Saga 2 is one of the best games I've ever played that's explicitly a midpoint of an overarching story.
Like the first one, it manages to come to a satisfying conclusion while leaving a bunch of threads waiting for resolution.
Also good GOSH does it do failure well. I loved the fact that as the gruff, angry leader of mercenaries I could try to be tough as nails and dangerous and after a hard fight just get fucking pincushioned and left for dead. The fact that it allowed me to take risks and experience humiliating defeat meant that it was that much more awesome when I managed to pull off a win against overwhelming odds.

Usually I'd do a give-away but I'm pretty broke at the moment. Thanks for all the fun filled years Steam thread!
Open to General PA and PAG&T Groups. End tomorrow at 7pm EST. No contribution necessary.
I've only played Towerfall which is incredible amazing fun party times with friends, and also some neat challenge modes and single player stuff. Evoland 2 is also really neat in that it's constantly changing genres and is super long compared to the first Evoland.
Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ends at 7pm EST (4ish hours from now)
No idea on the Persona front but there's a new Nep game every 4-6 months. That said, most of these are originally PSVita games (and a PS4 game in the case of VII) and these are just PC ports.

Atlus would have to have some sort of meaningful presence as a developer on PC first as opposed to just acting as a publisher for random things.
As is, they have weird habits with choosing what platforms to release upon. That Persona 5 is an upcoming release for the PS3 and only got a PS4 version planned pretty recently reinforces how they're pretty slow to adjust platform support.
Goddamnit. I knew it would happen when the game was announced, and that I should've waited. Figured it'd be farther out.
Probably should sit down and actually do the grinding I need to actually get past the boss I'm stuck on, since I think I'm near the end... and that'll give me a reason to unhook the PS4 afterwards.

Okay, I'll admit to being mildly frustrated today. It's May 4th, Star Wars day, so a perfect day to take a paid vacation day, play TIE Fighter, stream it on Twitch and promote my channel like crazy! I even had giveaways.
Except that literally no one showed up and stayed long enough to get a gift, so I have all these extra games sitting in my inventory, and one new follower to show for my efforts. A bit frustrating to say the least. On the other hand, I did get a paid day off from work to play TIE Fighter all day, so not really that bad.
But these games in my inventory simply won't do, they need to go. Bad enough all the trading cards I have...

Not just Persona. I'd love to have the whole Shin Megami Tensei collection on Steam. SMT 1 got ported to iOS, which might be the absolute worst way to play it. Of course, I bought a copy just to encourage them.
Games like SMT: Digital Devil Saga and Nocturne (aka SMT 3) might have a strong PS2 feel to them, but they're absolutely timeless gems. I'm sure a PC port would lead to great user reviews and a very long tail of sales.
Those are the games are that brought up as soon as somebody says, "I like turn based JRPGs, but..."
I think that the internet has been for years on the path to creating what is essentially an electronic Necronomicon: A collection of blasphemous unrealities so perverse that to even glimpse at its contents, if but for a moment, is to irrevocably forfeit a portion of your sanity.

Oh man, I'm not sure PS3 and forward Final Fantasy is my bag anymore, but I adore FFX and would buy the shit out of it.
I never even got around to playing X-2. Both of them in one package is something I'd jump on instantly.
Yknow what phone autocorrect you can have that one.
Definitely going to play as Emily and go the true protagonist route.
