(+) Yeah! (+)

Man that's one of the better quality images I've seen from the Switch version.

Im not sure Rousey tried to do anything, shes just sort of Sonyaesque by default. Her performance was so flat.

Megan is at least sort of emotive, but comically mismatched to the character. Like she could probably do a passable Cassie performance, but shes not selling Nitara at all.

Nitara's voice is comically mismatched to the entire game. Rousey at least tries to sound like a Mortal Kombat 11 character. Megan Fox's Nitara is trying to take my order at a Wendy's.

Rousey's still worse, at least Fox didn't replace a beloved VA.

Yeah, I think Ronda's voice is a lot worse here because they give her a bunch of emotional story beats and she fails to deliver each and every one and just sounds bored the whole time.

I think the bigger issue is that they had one day to record everything and the voice directing wasn't there. And I assume they didn't have many takes. Like I think a lot of Megan Fox's issues is that she wasn't really given much direction to make the lines match what they wanted from her. There's some actors who you toss down a script and a bunch of lines and they can nail it every time. Like I have no doubt that JK Simmons will do great as Omni-Man, and Cena will probably do great as Homelander. Those are characters they already have a voice for. Megan Fox just doesn't know about this character and doesn't have much help in terms of voice direction. But I think if she did, you could get a better performance out of her.

Ronda Rousey is forever terrible though, and if you gave her all the voice direction in the world and unlimited time, I don't think you'd get anything good out of her. Her WWE acting work is bottom of the barrel. She's also a terrible person too, so her getting hired in the first place is doubly awful.

He obviously meant to say Peacemaker, is it really that confusing lol

Oop, yes. I meant to say Peacemaker. Lol Anthony Starr isn't doing the voice for Homelander in this game, unfortunately.

Shame the Switch version's no good, though it's strange to me that this game is on Switch at all. If PS4 and Xbox One aren't powerful enough to run it, Switch certainly wouldn't have been.

I don't think it couldn't be ported to PS4/Xbone. It just might not get a return on the investment. It seems like they didn't think the Switch would give much of a return and did it absolutely as cheaply as possible.

finally finishing up the story mode

the random variants are a fun idea. Klockodile, a Geras/Reptile fusion is my favorite that Ive seen so far.

Bumping this since I'm halfway through the story.

Still waiting for Titan battles
