It’s only because we’re used to shit dub, it’s extremely rare to have a legit good dub (there’s a whole legit institutional problem there). If you can’t keep up with English dub, it’s good enough, but you’re still missing out a lot with Serkis, Cox, English that the French version can’t match. No one’s winning any award.

Daym, I’m very interested in sprucing up my french and this sounds like a great way to do that.

in English… Mostly for Jennifer English

They should get Dawn French to do the French dub

For me it’s not about winning an award but immersion. Hell, french dub is a so small market compared to english that it could explain why it’s not even taken into account for awards.

But on the music side, know that Expedition 33 has different ending musics in french and english, and even though I listen to a lot of english songs, the french one is so far better (“Aux lendemains non écrits”). The singer is simply more fluid in french than she is in english, or, I don’t know, but I simply can’t stand the english one compared to it. The meaning communicated through the words is not the same either.

Anyway, the important thing is that each of us finds ourselves satisfied with what they did

I am not that much interested in Macron (or any other) political career; I just get the signaling when a bad politician want it easy (to screw people) and go for elderly people instead to put some effort to convince the future generations.

Aux lendemains non écrits is sung in French even with English dubs. There are some songs that have an alternate version where the language changes, so I’m not sure if there is an English version of that one playing somewhere else.

I loved the fight mechanics and I’m sure there was a good story in there if I cared but one thing that really grinded my gears was the goddamn cutscenes. Not only that but the incessant cut scene that leads into another cut scene that leads into another cut scene. Seriously I spent half the game skipping cut scenes.

Could be worse, could be a marathon run of the Metal Gear series with a ban on skipping cutscenes. Also the fuck did you expect from an aggressively French JRPG style game, FFS JRPGs are defined by their cutscenes.

I don’t play JRPGS and never played metal gear. I played Clair because I heard of the sekiro type mechanics and was interested.

Good to know

Probably full of propaganda. Why would any president care?

Even more of a reason for me to never want to play it

I need a distinction between VIDEO games (interactable videos with fail cases so it’s a game in the end but barely) and video GAMES (games you can see and not imagine, like basketball: no story, no progression, just rule based win/lose thing)

Wtf? Lol

Outside of America many countries have a strong sense of pride especially when something is overtly representing them and their culture.

As a Canadian if they made this game with hockey and toques I’d damn well expect the prime minister to applaud them when they won game of the year too.

So as a customer my selection process is shorter. The label “Video game” is getting too big that it’s becoming useless. Imagine all the citrus fruits were called citrus fruits. I mean yeah but I wanna know if I’m buying an orange or a lemon, I like both but not in the same situation.

edit: I couldn’t stop thinking about the fruits: Citrus with sugar elements, Aroma driven Citrus

Imagine not playing a videogame because some guy in France likes it and he also (and I’m only guessing here, but this is lemmy) supports Israel

You really think Macron has done good for France?

When I develop my game I’m going to prevent players from skipping cutscenes on first viewing.

Gods, some people are just undeserving…

Honestly, I think knowing might help get through chapter 1. You know something’s up almost immediately, but they drag the mystery out way too long for my patience, where I felt like I was being fucked around with and having my time wasted. I would have dropped it if not for my partner insisting I’d like it, and the rest of the story did end up being worth it.

English Esquie is one of the most delightful things I’ve ever had the joy of experiencing. He’s voiced by the same person in both, but in French he just sounds French. In English he gets to have a French accent. Every character with a French accent is at odds with the main cast in a way that’s very flavorful. It just makes all the Frenchness really pop, like mixing sweet and salty.
