SiKboy posted:Sure, just like all those japanese games set in america could have had an english speaker glance at them. But this is literally just the menu screen. I dont know much about AAA video game development, is the guy who puts "New Game" on the menu screen likely to be the same one who is writing the dialogue and story? It's a SIE game that's hired a bunch of Japanese voice talent and stuff, it will be fine. Who knows what the deal is with the menu but the Japanese audio side sounded positive.

So theres a pretty good chance this is "That one scene from H:ZD" take 2 then? Fair enough.

What was that HZD scene, anyway? Is it in the final game?

It was from like a week before the game came out and we already had a ton of gameplay footage that looked good. People just lasered in on it because gamers are relentlessly negative and love to watch things crash and burn. It was a pretty funny cutscene though.

homeless snail posted:It is, its just a really awkward line read with some bad facial sync, and it was all anybody had to look at for that game for idk how long It also came across to me as a sort of condescending "silly tribals don't understand mental illness" treatment, like a time-travelling character smugly dunking on a medieval-level society for not having developed a theory of universal gravitation yet.

It's some kind of fuckup. I'm going to guess, since they've done an effort on Japanese localisation, that it's some kind of very stupid fuckup where the title screen was left placeholder or just plain hosed and someone is going to be getting their ears boxed over it.

All this attention given to the poor translation yet nobody cares about the most flagrant historical errors, like our protagonist being some noble warrior on a quest for vengeance instead of having to collect the plumber because the pipes in Yamato province got backed up again.

It is a non-story. It is a thing to generate shallow controversy, press, or attention, all of which will only sell more copies.

Speaking of HZD news I’ve gotten pretty far. Only have two tallnecks still to climb and two couldrons to complete. I just met the sun king and been asked to find that missing sister. How far along am I? I just fought, inside one of those couldron cores, a thunderjaw for the first time I’ve ever encountered one. My god that was a fight. I scanned it and studied the log entry, noting its most susceptible to tearing off all its hardware. I knocked two tearblast arrows at once on my heavy bow and immediately got to task breaking off both its disc launchers. With those gone I fired four more tearblasters right at it’s drat face, blowing off a ton of weapon and radar gear and armor. I mean it exploded like chicken feathers. It didn’t appreciate it. I barely survived it chasing me around the arena, sweeping me with its tail, used up most of my health satchel. But, I finally made way to its very own disc launcher on the ground and picked it up. I literally hear Aloy say, “it’s my turn” as I start just loving mag dumping into that thunderjaw. By the time I had emptied the second disc launcher weapon into its flank, it was nearly dead. A few fire arrows to its exposed center was all it took to finish it off. It was awesome. And then as I’m leaving I get the notification I can override those now. Holy poo poo.

The one you're on with Avad and Erend has just a few more parts, Aloy's origin story is much longer and takes you to basically every corner of the map.
