"For better or worse, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is going to be whatever it wants to be, and what it wants to be is anything it damn well pleases. Against all common sense, that audacity absolutely works, and I can’t wait to see how the next game gloriously screws things up." 9/10

I admit I haven't seen all her videos on the games, but the written review of Rebirth was glowing.

That's really odd for her. Considering how she was ripping on the remake's story and how much Square fucked it up in the first game. Gameplay was not her problem, though with either game. I wonder what made Sterling change her tune.

See? This is why playing Japanese games with Japanese dubs is pointless almost every time. You're still reading dub-titles. Cool that some fans scripted in the correct translations.

Not really. That's mostly from the old days. Most games have proper translation now. Though you're always gonna have a company that skimps out or don't even bother.

There’s not a whole lot to say about the unveiling of Silent Hill 3. After the success of the first two games, both Konami and horror game fans were more than ready for a third jaunt into the by-now famous town. Shortly after Silent Hill 2 came out they got their wish when the third instalment in th

Thanks for those retrospective and reviews you linked. Ronan is spot on with each of them. SH3 is still my favorite of the original trilogy and I consider the best.

Can't believe I'm saying this, but I much prefer the American Sonic dub. The Japanese dialogue is so bland, so generic anime. Sure, the American versions of the characters can be annoying. Very annoying. But annoying ... is not boring.

Except Eggman of course. Can't hate on Mike Pollock. Been acing his role for two decade running now.

The dub voices are really annoying Sonic Heroes (Tails had a different new voice actor at the time, and Cream was way too high pitched) and some parts of Sonic 06. Otherwise, the series always had and will grave great dubbing. Some awkward lines or delivery every now and then (even this is become rarer now), but not bad
