20:33 Shoulda dropped a mention of the other notable game this is true of, Penn & Teller's Smoke And Mirrors. Most of it is made up of parody games and tricks on the player - including the infamous "Desert Bus," the most boring game ever made. And then Smoke and Mirrors wasn't even published! The original publisher went out of business, and no other publisher was willing to pick it up. We only have it today because someone leaked it back in the day. (It also contains one of my favorite lines of all time, after the player picks the 'Impossible' difficulty level and is then immediately killed: "Impossible doesn't mean really difficult. Really difficult is winning a nobel prize. Impossible is eating the sun." So now 'Impossible is eating the sun' is my go-to analogy whenever someone's abusing the word.)

I was so pleased and excited to see Takeshi's Challenge on here; I regularly rewatch DeceasedCrab's full playthrough of the game (which only takes five episodes, primarily because he knows how to beat the game and uses savestates because anything less would be unreasonably masochistic) every few months. It's just such a wild ride. Highlights of the game include: - You hear that peppy little music track playing during the intro of the Takeshi's Challenge bit on this video? That's the only music in the game. On loop. The whole track is about 30 seconds long, maybe. It NEVER changes - not even on the hang-glider part, I don't think. You either get that or, when waiting for the map, silence. (Somehow, though, honestly? The song is still catchy.) - That end quote from Takeshi about not taking the game seriously takes maybe five solid minutes of sitting on the end screen before it shows up. You hit the end screen, Takeshi says "good job!", and that's it. Then you have to sit for five solid minutes or so, waiting for him to say the other thing(which you will, because even being insulted is somehow more fulfilling an ending than just "good job!"). - The karaoke section requires you to press buttons in time with the song. There is no indication of whether you're doing it right. You have to do it three times in a row. If you screw up, you have to do it all over again from the first song. - There is ZERO guidance on what you need to do to succeed in the game. Like, I cannot begin to tell you how little. You have to know to buy language and shamisen lessons, and also acquire a shamisen, before you go on the treasure hunt in the second half of the game. Nothing in the game tells you that these things are required. Finding the treasure requires you to crouch on completely unremarkable sections of ground MULTIPLE TIMES. Literally the only way to beat Takeshi's Challenge is to ALREADY KNOW how to beat Takeshi's Challenge. Larry wasn't kidding about people making money on the help lines at all.
The problem Willis and Dinklage had is common for actors primarily or solely accustomed to performing on set; video game voice recording is often done in an isolated booth with nothing to react to but the script; it can be an awkward and even rough transition. In the worst cases, the vacuum is to the level of the actor only having their character's lines without so much as an annotation to indicate the desired delivery. Lazy or otherwise-unhelpful voice directors can also cause trouble.

I quite liked Peter Dinklages version of Ghost, I think it made sense having the AI read his lines without emotion, because why would it? Even without emotion I think it gave the game a lot more personality than Nolan North's unmemorable performance (not because it's bad, but because it's just like anything else).
@@markgibson9709 Not a surreal one, the pun is that grilled offal is called "hormon-yaki" in Japanese. "Mormon-yaki", literally "grilled mormons", is a pun on that, it's just translated literally so the pun is lost and you just get some weird non-sequitur nonsense. It's logical enough in Japanese.

@@BobMonkeypimp Well, the reason DMA Design was never heard from again after that game was that it was so successful, they were promptly acquired. They're still around today, of course; they're just called Rockstar North now instead.
@@TheZotmeister I was being sarcastic. I would have thought everyone knew what happened to DMA after Lemmings. Self isolation is difficult so I have to vent it at internet strangers. Nothing personal.
@@BobMonkeypimp No offense taken. The acquisition was 22-1/2 years ago, probably before most of today's UA-cam viewers hit puberty or were even born. I thought it a safe assumption that many people wouldn't know it.
On the Last Action Hero situation they should have just said "We licensed this game. Don't worry, it's not Arnold. It's the character Arnold happened to play on the movie license we bought."
@@SgtKOnyx Yep, same here. And he certainly didn't ruin the game. He wasn't even replaced because of this, it was because they wanted to greatly expand the ghost's dialog and Dinklage wasn't gonna be available. North has improved, but his repeats of Dinklebot sound more like a Twinklebot.
Wasn't there also a thing where Dinklage was specifically directed to read lines emotionlessly because they were going to do a lot more post effects on the voice to make Ghost much more robotic and synthesised sounding? IIRC he was told to read lines that and then they didn't end up using as much post effects as they planned (probably so people could still tell it was him) so it made him look bad.
@@literaltruth I'd believe it. Half of the issue is that they wanted there to be almost no protagonist voice, so there had to be "direction" in ghost's. Of course they easily could have hired 6 nobodies for the 6 possible combinations of character and I'm certain no one would have complained.
@@JargonMadjin No, the British often rival American comedy as an equal, but America and Hollywood is the gold standard as far as what the rest of the world's entertainment is measured against. That's what's *real*.
Quick side note: Takeshi is known by some as “Vic Romano” from the TV show called Most Extreme Elimination Challenge, or MXC for short. MXC was a comedy/parody show put on by Spike TV, which took the video from Takeshi’s Castle (licensed, of course), and dubbed in comedic audio, a-la What’s Up Tigerlilly. Toward the end of MXC’s run, they even got Takeshi to come on the show and join in on things.
I was listening to this video in the background and had forgotten about takeshis challenge, but the music began playing and something primal inside me recoiled in fear
Was just gonna say that in fairness to dinklage he did exactly what they asked him to do they only turned on him when they realised it was a misstep, even though also in my opinion it wasnt and as much as I like nolan north i prefer dinklages ghost performance
Didn't know Kitano had such a dislike for electronics. When I was in Japan circa 2008, he was front and center on all the ads for a new version of the Sony Walkman MP3 player (yes, they brought back the Walkman as an MP3 player to compete with the Ipod and I have no idea if this was ever brought to the US).
@@jaspermcminnis5538 I do vaguely recall a period where he was trying quite hard to distance his image from guns. I remember there was one action flick where he played a firefighter, and in a related interview was quite proud of its guns-averse nature. I also wanna say this was about when he did Kindergarten Cop and Jingle All The Way.
I think people liked Dinklage because he was something different than they usual entourage of video game VOs. And while the writing of the game leaves a lot to be desired, so does Peter's acting.
@@NathanCassidy721 I wont say he was the best VA I've ever heard, but he did decent work. I'd hardly say he ruined the game, that was up to a load of other things and in this case "ruined" apparently means it STILL cleaned up a LOT
The Takeshi Kitano game is genius. Genuinely funny and breaking the barrier between the screen and relality! 10/10 would press punch 25,000 times again
Omg Larry, have you heard of the show MXC (Most Extreme Challenge)?? It's Takeshi's Castle, but dubbed with American voices and totally changing the script. It's so so funny. There's definitely videos on youtube!
I can understand the reason behind Arnie’s reasoning behind the change to the Last Action Hero game. At that point he had transitioned into more family friendly movies. Last Action Hero for being a parody of the 80’s over the top action genre was pretty tame as it too was geared to families. I guess he felt since the movie was a family film the game shouldn’t have excessive gun violence. Where that logic breaks down though is the fact that games at that point were not realistic so they tended to make the violence cartoony which made it palatable to younger audience so I don’t think there was a large risk of the game offending parents with cartoony shooting action.
Thankfully, Beat Takeshi's other gaming-related endeavors weren't so poor--having recently starred in Yakuza 6 as one of the two main villains. Just like all the other main and recurring cast's performances, his shines even through the language barrier.
Had the video playing without audio. Looked up at the screen and at around 11:00 and thought... I didn't realize they made a Fraggle Rock themed clone of lemmings. Turned audio on and learned that the truth is much sadder than what I imagined.
Fred Durst appeared in WWF (or WWE) Raw” (2001) for the XBox and “WWF SmackDown! Just Bring It” for PlayStation 2 as a deal to use the Rollin’ theme for the Undertaker. However, The Rollin’ Theme would be reused in “WWE WrestleMania X8” for the GameCube and Durst was not in that game. It would also be used in WWE 2K17, 2K18, and 2K19 and again no sign of Durst.
Unless I’m texting you to talk about Footy Manager, I wouldn’t put FM. Your info is of note and people won’t know what you’re referring to. He was spot on calling the company Addictive.
Lousy voice acting from a big star ruining a character is one of the reasons why many consider the playable character Rust from Payday 2 to be just simply shit. Ron Perlman gave zero shits when voicing that character and later just straight up said he only did it for the money when asked why he was in it.
that last one might be the greatest trolling of all time. I thought desert bus would have been the greatest trolling of all time but then again that wasn't even released so this actually was released and my goodness what an epic trolling it was
I was thinking the same. It's a bit awkward making a video based on audatory performances if you're not going to then play said performances for fear of copyright.
please tell me i'm not the only one singing the song in the back "I'm a natural Playboy" ...and knowing where this game is from? (otherwise... i'm old)
>Sees, or rather hears the entirety of the celebrity voice acting part didn't actually show any of the voice acting Uhhhhhhhh...that might've helped, just saying?
I ADORED Lemmings as a kid, I played the hell out of every game in the series, even including the weird paintball spin-off, and loved every minute of it. Even I was unaware there was a Lemmings 3 until I was an adult. I asked my Dad once why he never told me about that game. His response? "I played the demo. Your childhood would have been ruined." XD
Peter Dinklage gave the reading they asked for. As if THAT is what was wrong with Destiny, there wasn't anything wrong with his monotone robotic voice that was there simply to give exposition and narration throughout the "story".
There were TWO Young-Ones themed hit singles! Living Doll obviously, but Nigel Planer (in character as Neil) also had a hit with a cover of Hole In My Shoe.
I disagree that Dinklage ruined Destiny. IMHO his voice had much more depth and was a million times better than North's - and I honestly wish I could go back... North's rendition of Ghost's voice is so mundane and uninspired it is almost painful. I realize it is an AI, but still....North is just so boring and mundane. The reason Dinklage was removed from the cast is because his work schedule was too conflicting with Destiny. That is 100% the truth. North was the second-string pick and IMHO ruined any sort of depth that Ghost even had. Ghost is so 1-dimensional and boring now. This is all aside from the fact that Destiny 2 killed the series - they took a great first game and ruined it. Dont even get me started on how they got rid of Nathan Fillion and had North do Cayde's voice for his final chapter as well (and SUPER poorly as well - Cayde sounds like trash in his finale - super sad way for the most popular Destiny character/NPC to go out). IF there is another reason Bungie removed Nathan and Peter it would be because they didnt want to pay the $$$ that they wanted. Guaranteed North is much cheaper than Fillion and Dinklage and has a broader range of voice acting talent. I do actually like North quite a lot as a VA, just his Ghost rendition absolutely STINKS and how he butchered Cayde's voice was absolutely criminal. Worst part is Bungie just doesnt seem to care anymore - they dont feel like the same company that put so much love and care into the Halo games and the first Destiny. Destiny 2 feels like mass-produced garbage by comparison designed to get a much money out of the player as possible.

I never would've connected that Chewtle looked like Vyvyan before, but now that you point it out
@@MasterOfKnowledge. it was driving me nuts because I couldn't remember for so long! And then it was like oh yeah!
Kinda upset there weren’t any examples of the voice acting in the first bit.

Considering I've played neither, it would have been useful.
@@calemr just search "peter dinklage destiny" and the top result should be a comparison video. /r/games sums it up pretty well by saying that even though NN brought a bit more personality to the lines, the real reason PD sounded so flat was that the writing was absolute garbage in the first place.
The first bit was totally useless without voice acting. Haven't played either game, so how would I know if the lines are bad?

@@jumpman93LP It was indeed for the nookie. I also took a cookie and stuck it up my yeah...

I was so pleased and excited to see Takeshi's Challenge on here; I regularly rewatch DeceasedCrab's full playthrough of the game (which only takes five episodes, primarily because he knows how to beat the game and uses savestates because anything less would be unreasonably masochistic) every few months. It's just such a wild ride.
Highlights of the game include:
- You hear that peppy little music track playing during the intro of the Takeshi's Challenge bit on this video? That's the only music in the game. On loop. The whole track is about 30 seconds long, maybe. It NEVER changes - not even on the hang-glider part, I don't think. You either get that or, when waiting for the map, silence. (Somehow, though, honestly? The song is still catchy.)
- That end quote from Takeshi about not taking the game seriously takes maybe five solid minutes of sitting on the end screen before it shows up. You hit the end screen, Takeshi says "good job!", and that's it. Then you have to sit for five solid minutes or so, waiting for him to say the other thing(which you will, because even being insulted is somehow more fulfilling an ending than just "good job!").
- The karaoke section requires you to press buttons in time with the song. There is no indication of whether you're doing it right. You have to do it three times in a row. If you screw up, you have to do it all over again from the first song.
- There is ZERO guidance on what you need to do to succeed in the game. Like, I cannot begin to tell you how little. You have to know to buy language and shamisen lessons, and also acquire a shamisen, before you go on the treasure hunt in the second half of the game. Nothing in the game tells you that these things are required. Finding the treasure requires you to crouch on completely unremarkable sections of ground MULTIPLE TIMES. Literally the only way to beat Takeshi's Challenge is to ALREADY KNOW how to beat Takeshi's Challenge. Larry wasn't kidding about people making money on the help lines at all.

The problem Willis and Dinklage had is common for actors primarily or solely accustomed to performing on set; video game voice recording is often done in an isolated booth with nothing to react to but the script; it can be an awkward and even rough transition. In the worst cases, the vacuum is to the level of the actor only having their character's lines without so much as an annotation to indicate the desired delivery. Lazy or otherwise-unhelpful voice directors can also cause trouble.

How appropriate - Orpheus paid the price for having to keep checking back.
As a mythology nerd I especially appreciate the almost poetic irony of that whole situation
Can someone explain
@@crazyd4ve875 Orpheus was a character from an ancient Greek myth whose wife died. And when he went to the underworld to get her back he was told not to look back or his wife would be stuck there forever.

It's funny that Larry brought up True Lies as a good Arnie game, because that's one of the games I had a blast playing as a kid. I knew nothing of the movie, but I knew Arnold well enough thanks to Terminator that it caught my interest in wanting to play it.

And then Takeshi Kitano appeared in the Yakuza series, which are games all about getting drunk, singing karaoke, going to arcades, running stupid errands and getting in fistfights.
How is Rogue Warrior starring Mickey Rourke not on this list? Just play the compilation of his one liners and you'll see why. Nothing compares to his epic role.
To be fair, I think that game would have been much worse without his vulgar one-liners.

Anyone know what song plays during the intro and outro? I like it but I can't figure it out.
Finally found it ua-cam.com/video/u4Xqj7pEfQw/v-deo.html The Natural Playboy - Bust A Groove, Playstation. I think about this song every time I think about Fact Hunt videos, glad I found it in the comments.
I quite liked Peter Dinklages version of Ghost, I think it made sense having the AI read his lines without emotion, because why would it? Even without emotion I think it gave the game a lot more personality than Nolan North's unmemorable performance (not because it's bad, but because it's just like anything else).
Agreed
I thought Dink and North both did fine.
This is a case of "Don't blame the actor. Blame the director."
Did that sign in Takeshi's game really say "Grilled Mormons"?
Dude, just pretend you're not home when they knock on the door like the rest of us.

Apparently it was some surreal pun in Japanese. Translation loses the original 'joke' and just makes it weird.
@@markgibson9709 Not a surreal one, the pun is that grilled offal is called "hormon-yaki" in Japanese. "Mormon-yaki", literally "grilled mormons", is a pun on that, it's just translated literally so the pun is lost and you just get some weird non-sequitur nonsense. It's logical enough in Japanese.

"Here are two games that were completely derailed by terrible voice acting. Not gonna play even one example though, please take my word for it." 🙄
Heck, I preferred Dinklage to North
@@SgtKOnyx Yep, same here. And he certainly didn't ruin the game. He wasn't even replaced because of this, it was because they wanted to greatly expand the ghost's dialog and Dinklage wasn't gonna be available. North has improved, but his repeats of Dinklebot sound more like a Twinklebot.
Wasn't there also a thing where Dinklage was specifically directed to read lines emotionlessly because they were going to do a lot more post effects on the voice to make Ghost much more robotic and synthesised sounding?
IIRC he was told to read lines that and then they didn't end up using as much post effects as they planned (probably so people could still tell it was him) so it made him look bad.
SgtKOnyx I dunno I have to go with Peter North over Peter Dinklage.
@@literaltruth I'd believe it. Half of the issue is that they wanted there to be almost no protagonist voice, so there had to be "direction" in ghost's. Of course they easily could have hired 6 nobodies for the 6 possible combinations of character and I'm certain no one would have complained.
"No one heard from DMA design ever again." Because they changed their name to Rockstar, yes, that Rockstar

Get the UK versions if you can, they removed the band segments from the US release for some bizarre reason.

@@JargonMadjin No, the British often rival American comedy as an equal, but America and Hollywood is the gold standard as far as what the rest of the world's entertainment is measured against. That's what's *real*.
Quick side note: Takeshi is known by some as “Vic Romano” from the TV show called Most Extreme Elimination Challenge, or MXC for short.
MXC was a comedy/parody show put on by Spike TV, which took the video from Takeshi’s Castle (licensed, of course), and dubbed in comedic audio, a-la What’s Up Tigerlilly.
Toward the end of MXC’s run, they even got Takeshi to come on the show and join in on things.
I loved Peter Dinklage as the ghost, was so upset when he got axed :(
Same, he made sense as an AI
Happy I am not the only one who was upset about the fact of Dinklage being axed!
I was listening to this video in the background and had forgotten about takeshis challenge, but the music began playing and something primal inside me recoiled in fear
I liked Peter dinklage's ghost voice because he was supposed to sound robotic
yea, I forever blame the direction they gave him, not peter himself. Nolans lines aren't that much better, even in D2
The campy wizard moon thing was literally the ONLY redeeming thing about Destiny for me and they SO quickly trashed it.
I had to go look it up, and I much prefer Dinklage's performance. Nolan sounds like that robot from Borderlands.
light819 I didn't mind dinklebot
Was just gonna say that in fairness to dinklage he did exactly what they asked him to do they only turned on him when they realised it was a misstep, even though also in my opinion it wasnt and as much as I like nolan north i prefer dinklages ghost performance
Dinklage has the FAR SUPERIOR “You’ve wOKEN THE HIVE-“
"Comepletely CRAP"
*insert footage of one of the best FPS RPGs in history*
Didn't know Kitano had such a dislike for electronics. When I was in Japan circa 2008, he was front and center on all the ads for a new version of the Sony Walkman MP3 player (yes, they brought back the Walkman as an MP3 player to compete with the Ipod and I have no idea if this was ever brought to the US).
lawyers: "Arnold Schwarzenegger didnt want to be associated with violence" - *BRUH*
I know right. He built most of his acting career typecasted as characters that are usually cyborgs, soldiers, cops, or mercenaries that kill people.
@@jaspermcminnis5538 I do vaguely recall a period where he was trying quite hard to distance his image from guns. I remember there was one action flick where he played a firefighter, and in a related interview was quite proud of its guns-averse nature. I also wanna say this was about when he did Kindergarten Cop and Jingle All The Way.
@@shatara42 But he did use guns in Kindergarten Cop. In a few scenes.
Loved apocalypse "SUCK ON THIS!" LOL
Actually, a lot of people love Peter Dinklages work as Ghost. Bungie (read: Activision) borked up so much other shit it made the game a laughingstock.
I think people liked Dinklage because he was something different than they usual entourage of video game VOs. And while the writing of the game leaves a lot to be desired, so does Peter's acting.
@@NathanCassidy721 I wont say he was the best VA I've ever heard, but he did decent work. I'd hardly say he ruined the game, that was up to a load of other things and in this case "ruined" apparently means it STILL cleaned up a LOT
The Takeshi Kitano game is genius. Genuinely funny and breaking the barrier between the screen and relality! 10/10 would press punch 25,000 times again
Hiro's theme from Bust a Groove? Hell yeah, that's pretty funky.
Thank you, I was hoping to find someone else who knew. Bust A Groove had some great tracks
Takeshi was also the anti-villain in Johnny Mnemonic. And yeah, his game tops all others when it comes to intentionally bad celeb games.

I can understand the reason behind Arnie’s reasoning behind the change to the Last Action Hero game. At that point he had transitioned into more family friendly movies. Last Action Hero for being a parody of the 80’s over the top action genre was pretty tame as it too was geared to families.
I guess he felt since the movie was a family film the game shouldn’t have excessive gun violence. Where that logic breaks down though is the fact that games at that point were not realistic so they tended to make the violence cartoony which made it palatable to younger audience so I don’t think there was a large risk of the game offending parents with cartoony shooting action.
Critic and broadcaster Clive James appeared on an episode of Takeshi's Castle
Mathieu Leader My guessing is that he didn't get very far
I know Clive James best for his funny as hell Formula season reviews
Thank you, Larry. Now I'm thinking of the action crossover we always wanted: Arnie and Dot Cotton. 😂

A huge part of why Destiny was a laughing stock at that time was charging full price for less then half of a game.
Had the video playing without audio. Looked up at the screen and at around 11:00 and thought... I didn't realize they made a Fraggle Rock themed clone of lemmings. Turned audio on and learned that the truth is much sadder than what I imagined.
I wonder how many people didn't realise that DMA made GTA, and that DMA is actually Rockstar North.

The Last Action Hero is one of Arnie's best films. I wouldn't call it a good parody, but it is lots of fun.

Lousy voice acting from a big star ruining a character is one of the reasons why many consider the playable character Rust from Payday 2 to be just simply shit. Ron Perlman gave zero shits when voicing that character and later just straight up said he only did it for the money when asked why he was in it.
Honestly if someone doesn't even try, they should be fired from it like any other employee.
that last one might be the greatest trolling of all time. I thought desert bus would have been the greatest trolling of all time but then again that wasn't even released so this actually was released and my goodness what an epic trolling it was
So you talked Bruce's bad one liners then didn't play them? okay lmao
Eh?
and then delivered worse ones
Probably because he would have been immediately busted by the copyright weasels.
I was thinking the same.
It's a bit awkward making a video based on audatory performances if you're not going to then play said performances for fear of copyright.
You know what a cheesy one-liner is, right? That's all it is. If you've ever seen a Bruce Willis movie, you've heard all the one-liners.
That low key use of Hiro-Kun's theme in the background at the beginning was a kick in my nostalgic nuts. Thanks Larry!
please tell me i'm not the only one singing the song in the back "I'm a natural Playboy" ...and knowing where this game is from? (otherwise... i'm old)

You're not alone. Bust-A-Groove's got some good tracks.
Someone as a young child played Takeshi Challenge then when off to become a developer for Yakuza...
>Sees, or rather hears the entirety of the celebrity voice acting part didn't actually show any of the voice acting
Uhhhhhhhh...that might've helped, just saying?
@Jt Money Show...gameplay clips...with voice acting...?
I ADORED Lemmings as a kid, I played the hell out of every game in the series, even including the weird paintball spin-off, and loved every minute of it. Even I was unaware there was a Lemmings 3 until I was an adult. I asked my Dad once why he never told me about that game. His response? "I played the demo. Your childhood would have been ruined." XD
Peter Dinklage gave the reading they asked for. As if THAT is what was wrong with Destiny, there wasn't anything wrong with his monotone robotic voice that was there simply to give exposition and narration throughout the "story".
Thought the audio was messed up at the start so turned it up then all of a sudden I just hear "CELEBRITIES!!!" almost had a heart attack lmaoo
I loved The Young Ones when it ran on Comedy Central in the early 90's.
liar u never saw it
Now what in the actual fuck would I have to gain by lying about that? You are dismissed.
There were TWO Young-Ones themed hit singles! Living Doll obviously, but Nigel Planer (in character as Neil) also had a hit with a cover of Hole In My Shoe.
I loved that song especially when he appeared on Top of the Pops, I think that video is on here somewhere lol
I disagree that Dinklage ruined Destiny. IMHO his voice had much more depth and was a million times better than North's - and I honestly wish I could go back... North's rendition of Ghost's voice is so mundane and uninspired it is almost painful. I realize it is an AI, but still....North is just so boring and mundane. The reason Dinklage was removed from the cast is because his work schedule was too conflicting with Destiny. That is 100% the truth. North was the second-string pick and IMHO ruined any sort of depth that Ghost even had. Ghost is so 1-dimensional and boring now. This is all aside from the fact that Destiny 2 killed the series - they took a great first game and ruined it. Dont even get me started on how they got rid of Nathan Fillion and had North do Cayde's voice for his final chapter as well (and SUPER poorly as well - Cayde sounds like trash in his finale - super sad way for the most popular Destiny character/NPC to go out). IF there is another reason Bungie removed Nathan and Peter it would be because they didnt want to pay the $$$ that they wanted. Guaranteed North is much cheaper than Fillion and Dinklage and has a broader range of voice acting talent. I do actually like North quite a lot as a VA, just his Ghost rendition absolutely STINKS and how he butchered Cayde's voice was absolutely criminal. Worst part is Bungie just doesnt seem to care anymore - they dont feel like the same company that put so much love and care into the Halo games and the first Destiny. Destiny 2 feels like mass-produced garbage by comparison designed to get a much money out of the player as possible.
