Ok, I'm sorry, but "Niffleheim?" The game still looks really good, but I'm hoping the voiceover mispronounced it, cause ... I am having a hard time taking that seriously. It honestly sounds like he's saying nippleheim sometimes, like it's some kind of alternate name for titty twister.
And when it does come through as "Niffleheim," I think it's some Monty Python village with dwarves parodying the Wizard of Oz.
Look, again, it looks amazing, this is honestly one of the games that excites me most about PS4, but ... Niffleheim, really? I'm new to this series, are the names of landmasses always this cutesy and non-threatening sounding?
I need to read Hamlet again, I only read it once in high school, and forgot too much of Shakespeare in general, outside of maybe A Midsummer Night's Dream (don't quiz me on it, though); that story (Hamlet) has been used in so many things apparently, Lion King comes to mind, and I never really notice the similarities despite having read it, cause I don't really remember it.
