@Zuljaras Yeah, something to that extent. Almost like the French version of the Swedish Chef from the Muppet Show.
@TheJGG Well, that thoroughly depends on what Nintendo shows (or doesn't show), otherwise I might definitely not be in the mood for anything even remotely friendly...
@Anti-Matter Ah, so I actually missed nothing at all, seeing as I don't like big boobs...
@Eel I never knew breasts had lengths, but I guess it makes sense in some ways. Anyhoo, moving on, because you're absolutely right, there's nothing much else to say about nonsensical threads like that.
Good to hear that the areas are indeed represented accurately, as far as that can go in a game, obviously. It's not like they built entire cities, only parts, just like the previous games. But they're definitely getting better at it, and I also like that they included actual murals from local artists, and that the voice actor is native as well, instead of a white guy "doing" a Mexican voice...

@ThanosReXXX That's because most of the "French" people doing the Ubisoft speaking were French-Canadians from Ubi Montreal, not French. Even Canadians hate the French-Canadians. The exception being Mario + Rabbids which was Ubi Milan (with a remarkably German sounding accent), and Ubi Paris, and of course Yves.
I'll also second that the moment they announce FH5, the first thing I thought of was running over@Eel
The second thing was the incessant need to verify if the foliage was made of the highest quality pixels anyone's ever seen.
@NEStalgia Well, it sure as heck looked damn near photo-realistic, so you've got your work cut out for you. I'm going to rewatch the entire Xbox/Bethesda presentation later tonight, because yesterday, I still watched it on my old 42" HD plasma screen, and today, this old dog finally got his brand new 55"4K LG OLED screen installed, so I can now enjoy it even better. And man, it's BIG. My apartment isn't that large, so I'm sitting less than 10 feet away from it, and the difference between the two screens is almost mind boggling.
And this one also looks like an infinity pool, in that it has no edges to speak of, whereas the old plasma screen had one of these big, plastic picture frames, almost 2 inches all around.
As for the French who actually weren't French: it's not that I care that they're anything other than English, but it would seem overly obvious to me that you'd at least use people that can actually pronounce English words in a way that they are easily understandable. Foreign accents are fine, trust me: I know from living here, but what they basically did (and do every year), is put people in front of the camera who wouldn't even score a C in English, well at least: the pronunciation part of it...
On an unrelated side note: how you've been? Haven't seen you around much, other than the odd comment here and on PureXbox.
P.S.
What's with the sadistic undertone towards our friend Eel? Running people over is more a Carmageddon thing, not a Forza Horizon thing, luckily.
'The console wars are like boobs: Sony and Microsoft fight over which ones look the nicest and Nintendo's are the most fun to play with.'
@ThanosReXXX Oh, I've been around between here, PXB, and PS. It just divides my comments with two other sites running now, and you not participating in PS (which, even as a PS fan can try ones patience at times....but still... )
LOL, well I thought of @Eel right away. But as for running over, you haven't seen me play Horizon.
@NEStalgia Well I seemed to completely miss the robot *rgy scene when I approached for what I felt was gonna be a boss fight. Probably the robots trying to imitate humans at first glance. The android fight wasn't what I expected though...
@NEStalgia Just for reference's sake:
(and because I want to show of my new toy)
The dimensions and perspectives are slightly off, but if you compare the patterns (number of lines) of the curtains on the right, you can sort of estimate the size difference.
I was typing a response in that thread when Eel locked it this morning. So close! What a horrible thing to imagine while sipping morning coffee. Anyway, pretty sure that person is dealing with a Cenobite harking the arrival of Pinhead himself, so the next thread should be even more interesting. Can’t wait!
@ThanosReXXX - Nice man! What did you get? I’ve been talking about getting a new TV for years. Really need to just do it, pricing has come down considerably on models from a year or two ago.
@BruceCM Well that adds some good replay value! I paid good money for it (read: £17) so I hope I can get some good hours out! I hope I can at least beat it once before The Witcher 3 arrives in two weeks...
... is what I would have said if this shipping service wasn't so damn fast. Now I'm getting Witcher 3 in three days. So more game juggling.
@Vortexeo Yeah! I ordered them both at the same time; you could say as a redundancy in case Nintendo don't excite me enough for the Direct. Whether they add to my wish list or not my summer will be packed!
Doesn't mean I can't do both, in fact I hope I can... tomorrow's a big day!
@TheJGG You should tell me which one of the two you prefer when you're done. I think I know which one you'll end up enjoying more but I'll see if my prediction is correct in the future lol.
@BruceCM Yes and No… I got it on PS4, strictly speaking the Game of the Year edition. So it’s mechanically similar to what the Complete Edition entails but it’s not on Switch. I always planned to get it on PS4 because of the graphical improvements over Switch. Plus I’ll likely be entitled to the upcoming PS5 upgrade!
@Vortexeo I’ll make sure to let you know which I enjoy more! Wonder which one you picked… but that’s the surprise!
Cool, @TheJGG.... The replays through Nier shouldn't take as long as the first & even if you did all the endings, it's unlikely to take as long as just the main game for W3, since you presumably wouldn't be trying to rush that
