Hecatom Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 The funny part is that they already made Aloy less attractive than her face model in the 1st game. But then come and say they made her even less attractive than the 1st one because the director felt that the feminine look of the professional model used as the base didn't portray the "strength" they wanted to demonstrate for the heroine because according to him the original model portraying Aloy looked like she would "cry if she broke a nail." That is some backwards bullshit if you ask me 🤣 Abbachio, Hawkingbird, OPTIMUS124 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment
nickmanx5 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 its prob just that video game effect of most women being absolute 10's. most ugly video game women are designed to be unattractive to match what is usually an ugly personality. i haven't paid attention to the new game but before aloy just came off as looking average. hell in the real world she would still rate pretty high at least from my perspective living in the rural south.

MillionX Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 (edited) That trailer for the new Star Wars game looked awesome...I would hope for some freedom though... it's a bit disappointing to me that Fallen Order is more linear and it appears you're supposed to be on the "good guys" side there. I almost always prefer when games allow the player the option to be a villain, or just a character that's a mixture of good and bad qualities. The Star Wars universe is already perfect for that focus on the morality leanings of the player character. On another note---Vampyr was on sale for just 10 bucks on xbox Live last I checked... I always like to give that game an extra little bit of hype when I can. Edited February 15, 2022 by MillionX DoctaMario 1 Quote Link to comment
BornWinner Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 So something interesting that River City Girls Zero did is have the option of two translations. One of them is a more accurate translation of the original Japanese game Shin Nekketsu Kōha: Kunio-tachi no Banka (labeled “Literal”) while the other is a localization trying to tie this game to RCG and probably adding more jokes like how it was in RCG. (labeled “New”). Of course people are mad at it despite them both being an option. DangerousJ, Hecatom, RSG3 and 3 others 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment

I actually like the Xrd lobby system, since imo is very easy to use and brings a lot of benefits that traditional lobbies don't have. Besides, you can always have private rooms that are functionally the same as the regular lobbies. Quote Link to comment

Is specially true when is something for a stream service, where they even add "inclussive/neutral" terms that everyone on latam hates.

While it’s way better than it was in the first beta, it’s still pretty annoying to get a match. They added platforms to where both players have to stand to get a match up, like the arcade machines in Xrd. While it can easily set up a match, there are still other problems that get in the way. Like sometimes it won’t connect you to the other guy, sometimes you are frozen after a match ends while the other guy has already left, and sometimes an empty spot is already taken before you match up. I love Strive but playing ranked can get frustrating from just the lobby. In my experience, the private lobbies are way faster and more stable to get some matches. Quote Link to comment

DangerousJ Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 If I had to guess, Paramount doesnt have many big theatrical franchises compared to Disney /WB and is hoping to maximize profit on Sonic. GIJOE- basically dead esp after the snake Eyes flop TMNT - unpredictable. TMNT 2014 did well, but 2016 didnt. Transformers - Rode Bay films to success until the 5th one lost money. Bubmblebee was profitable but not as much as the early Bay films. Indy- they have the video rights of the first 4 Indy films, but now disney has the right to distribute new films. Its basicallys Disney franchise except for streaming. Quote Link to comment

There is currently a heavy discourse about the utter garbage situation of bad translations and localizations in anime and video games, where people are sick and tired of censorship, injected politics, dumb memes, jokes, etc that change completely the intent of the authors in service of self indulgence from part of the localization teams. In this case, they were saying the usual stupid shit, that by doing this, they were caving to nazis, etc, etc, since anyone who is calling this bs is immediately labeled every ist and phobe under the sun 🤣 Just today Rice Digital released a hit piece attacking fans for demanding actual quality in translations/localizations. Nevermind that we have cases where light novels get pages worth of content removed due the person doing the localization deems it "problematic", censoring the work that is intended for +18 public for dumb reasons. By how things are going, i bet the woketards will call this gamergate 2.0 lol Edit In short, they are a cancer that needs to be removed.

It seems pretty self explanatory and not offensive. Am I missing something? The issue with saying a translation is "literal" is it could imply they didn't actually translate fully. An actually literal translation would be incredibly awkward or even indecipherable if the two languages are as different as JP and ENG are. Grammar and word usage can be extremely different. This is why, for those of you that read fan scanlations of manga, you sometime see dialog that is INCREDIBLY awkwardly written. The "translators" are not really translating the intent of the words and being too literal. "Original" is definitely a far better name for what it's trying to be, which is simply more faithful to the original writing.
