I also suspect the kind of people who would care about the real life ethnicity of a person who is voicing a joke character in an over the top crazy violent game wouldn't be buying the game to begin with. What exactly is Lo Want supposed to be authentic to? He is a super natural being, you can kill him over and over again and he just reloads saves. My favorite part about the recasting is the fact that Lo Wang is Chinese, living in Japan, yet the guy they cast for the sake of "authenticity" is of Korean descent lmao.Īre Devolver trying to say that all Asians are the same? Sounds like they wanted a new guy to try to sound like the old guy but be Asian, it's stupid and I'm glad the game tanked.
