Kotaku on Xenoblade Chronicles 2: "I wish the [talented] Nintendo Treehouse (localized) this."

go away 9volt

Is he still pretending to be a qt asian?

...

Also I'd rather have some stiff english than actual changes to gameplay and censorship. These are the same people who defended Fire Emblem Fates and NISA games. never let it die down.

Anyone who defends Treehouse or NISA needs suicide.

I agree, I think the game is doing fairly well today, considering the competition anyway.

I don't know what his name is but he doesn't have a vagina. You people need to let go of the fantasy that there's some qt asian milf that does nothing but shitpost about video games on twitter all fucking day.

It's unimportant.

These people are so fucking desperate for total rewrites that ignore the original dialogue that they forgot what their own language sounds like.

Can you switch the text to Japanese or is it only in English?

...

...

I hope this game pulls a P5 and sells like hot cakes pissing the sjweebs and journos to hell.

Fuck off (((Todd)))

Nintendo of Europe

Treehouse

NISA

Reminder

Outing yourself this early?
Poor shilling skills indeed schlomo-kun

It will. Its xenoblade chronicles 2 for christ's sake

9Volt, fuck off.

Snakes hide their true motives behind silver tongues. Dressing up your true motives as a (((compliment))) is a sign of a low life.

what are you, a fucking nigger?

So does anyone know if XC2 is censored at all?

Any you anons have both English and Jap copies to compare?
Simply knowing Treehouse had no hand in the localization gives me a good bit of hope already, but I want to be sure.

Matt Myers please leave.

Wrong.

Is Skyrim seriously fucking full-price on Switch? I thought porting it to everything was bad enough, but I didn't know they were charging full price still. Jesus Christ.

Dosen't seem like it. Been playing it and Pyra's breasts remain intact, along with jiggle. If THAT stayed in, I can't imagine anything later has been censored. Whats more, if you don't like the british voice cast, the Jap voice over is a free download.

You did nothing to prove it last thread and you're not going to here either.

Why the fuck wouldn't they? They're releasing a VR mod as an entirely separate product and charging full retail price for that.

There are retards out there who paid over $240 for Skyrim.

Once on PS3/Xbox 360
Once on the PS4
Once on the Xbox One after hearing no mods on PS4
And once again for VR

And if you ask them, why the fuck didn't you just get Legendary Edition on PC at any point over the last few years for not only vastly superior and free mods, and the ability to make your own mods - but a free upgrade up to Skyrim SE - and they will immediately start whining about how PC gaming is too expensive or try to justify their purchases by claiming they find it more comfortable to game from their couch.

reasonable assumption
hell-fucking-yes. I didn't necessarily hate the english voices in the trailers, but I wasn't fond of them.

Lurk more, newfag.

stfu you person

So is the start of sending a big Thank You poster/letter to Nintendo of Europe like it was done to NoA/Treehouse (Live) to help drive a wedge give them more appreciation and attention?

Don't start with this cringeworthy shit.

What goon posts? Is getting irrationally mad at this the only kind of acceptable reply?

How is that natural? When do you hear fighting people talk like that?

Needs more 10 year old memes and tumblr pronouns to be accurate.

To think all this came from nepotism and social justice. Hopefully these people will become completely irrelevant soon.

KOTAKUUUUUUUUUUUU

IDK man if I pay $€70 for a game I want a good localisation. But that's just me.

...

Anyone got that localization fail image of that RPG where they left annotations in the translation? Something like "[Impossible to know without context]". I've tried google but it didn't help.

I don't have it saved but the game is Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny, maybe that will help you find it.

Most of this thread reads like GG leaking. There's also an existing Xenoblade 2 thread.

An attempt was made.
hooktube.com/djV11Xbc914
hooktube.com/WSpFpOYVQrY

Careful, your goon is leaking

What's next, user? Will you defend Treehouse memes or Kotakus writers?

That's just a (admittedly slightly annoying) component of these games. The first game had it, I'm pretty sure X had it.

When did you forum faggots, whose autism can't handle more than one thread on a particular game get here?

L O L

What the fuck? Should I actually give the game a pirate on PC? I bought it for PlayStation back when it came out and was so bored with it that I gave up after a couple of hours.

Ask Mark, he wrote the rule in 2014.

Not until you are a pre-order customer.

No. You already got bored with it on the PS3, it won't get much better on PC

What's wrong with this guy?

His friends are working at Treehouse?

yes

How is the game so highly praised if it's so boring?

porn mods.

Tech, tech and tech. That's Howard's strong point. Also Bethesda is a AAA company that can afford shills and bribe money for IGN

Exactly. The time for subtlety has long passed.

Localization checklist
Been playing for about 6 hours with nip dub. So far english sub seems pretty reasonable (I don't speak nihon myself, just know what's expected of your standard weeaboo). So far noticeable points are
Anyone has more to report?

At least we know why he's triggered.

Some of my favourite games got massacred by mainstream media. Or completely ignored.

For weebshit game reviews there are more knowledgeable sites than Kotaku if you must have a review at all.

All that I see here is trading one shitty practice for another.
The cocksuckers defending paid DLC are just as bad as the cocksuckers who defended XCX's localization. All of them were supposed to be removed in the industry purge, but thanks to the incompetence of GG, the DLC apologists are emboldened and validated.
Burn this whole rotten industry to the ground.

Mombot said it himself, he is not a japanese housewife. IIRC the excuse was that it's self evident, for the purpose of parody.

I listened and believed matt-kun.
Please notice my feet.

No idea what that means, I haven't bothered with the gamergoys in years. Just saying it's not exactly an occult credence that only few know.

...

wheres the nip verison of this?

Not censored, do I have to cap Nia's bare back as well?

Same, I just (((bought))) it on the estore, it's downloading now

Show side by side.

How much different could it get, think logically here.

I was going to make a stupid joke, but I realise this retard and their friends probably only communicate in internet memes and strings of pop culture references. That is, the exact same kinds of window-lickers that work at Treehouse.

How is it the Europeans are less pozzed than the Americans?

Found it.

[citation needed]

The European version isn't great (that's a really clunky sentence) but at least it's not literal dogshit. Awkward translations are tolerable. I'd rather the script read like it was written by a non-native English speaker than have it littered with pop culture references and segments rewritten to match some bluehair's idea of morality.

My sides.

...

I don't even know if that's bait at this point. Im not sure if I'm crazy or if it's everyone else

When do you naturally see teenage boys alongside girls with huge tits in skimpy outfits fighting monsters outside?

I want everyone at Kotaku to starve to death cold and unloved on the streets.

And no one cared.

Imagine taking this mans opinion seriously. He constantly talks about how much he hates the past games, so it's no surprise he hates this too.

Not cool.

My fantasies of course.

Yep. I rather have an overly literal translation with the occasional spelling error than a game script that was rewritten for the American market.

Not surprisingly a lot of Americans disagree.

porn mods
you can have breast and butt physics
there is nothing else, the game is boring as fuck

...

Keep thinking that…

Is this a true image or just shooped? I demand the original source.

Leftists have taken Poe's Law behind the chemical shed and put a bullet in it. It's impossible to ridicule them anymore because they have become bigger parodies of themselves than anything we could cook up.

To be fair it's not like you can trust the subtitles anyway, you should just be listening to the Japanese voices.

This triggers the feminists.

Thank you Japan

さすがマーク。

So is this a sequel to the Wii game or the WiiU game or a completely standalone game?

As someone who has never played these games what are they about?

Apparently standalone.

What is it about mombot that absolutely assdestroys goons and retards?

...

She says things they don't like and baited them into saying that they'd happily dox her.

...

*takes a whiff*

I played the Wii one. It's kind of like Final Fantasy XII on giant floaty islands but I didn't enjoy the combat as much so I stopped playing after 5 hours.

This is the behavior of a mentally undeveloped child.

Even normalfags know these losers aren't worth their time. I don't see why we should acknowledge any of their retarded ramblings.

Why did they ban him he's parroting what they say constantly, did one of our guys get moderation powers?

here are your options:
lurk som moar
or
back to >>>/cuckchan/

same goes for you

A child would be ecstatic to see boobies

I remember back when he got exposed for this, he together with his fellow feminist soyboy crew defended this and said "it's satire"! Yeah, that's their defense towards their gynophobic faggotry, really.

Shitty altright opinion discarded. There is no scientific proof that soy is anything but good for you, but I know the right tends to hate science.

Here is a better version, given the fact he's a male feminist he was probably just fighting the urge to not rape the TV screen.

It's not really gynophobia, it's the mating ritual of the genetic failures. They are self-aware enough that their genes are so defective no female will ever willingly breed with them and that traditional courtship avenues are going to end with them being ridiculed, so they assume the persona of the "nice guy" to get close to women and remain in contact with them without triggering warning sings with them. They hope that prolonged contact will eventually wear the female down enough to grant them a pity fuck. It's why so many of these "nice guys" turn out to be creepy sexual predators with fucked up fetishes.

I wouldn't be surprised if Klepek jacks off to some really weird and disturbing shit.

Because they tried to sync the voices with the game and not the other way around. The characters mouths move the exact same way regardless of what language you choose.

Yep. A child is either curious or horney (when puberty sets in) or doesn't give a fuck.

Only adults feel shame or guilt.

Stay triggered.
You know who you are.

t. soyboi

So it's FF10 all over again?
Do…Does it have a laughing seagull?

Hi Patrick Klepek!

Good job, dipshits.

No, but the MC and Nia (the first waifu you meet) have vaguely Gaelic sounding accents that I can't place because I'm American, and for the first two hours or so of the game Nia's VA talks extremely quietly as if she is genuinely whisper-talking into the mic.

Dubbing over a foreign language always fucking screws up the dialogue if you don't make two versions of a game like SquareEnix does with Final Fantasy. Especially with a completely different language like Japanese.

Signed- a man who has witnessed the horror of German Netflix.

In most modern 3D games you don't have to rebuild the game from the ground up just to lip sync the dialogue to a different voice track.

But isn't this expressly forbidden by the Geneva Convention?

Well, I've run into my first instance of outright changes translation. At one point the party needs money and Pyra suggests that she has a way to get it. One of the characters then starts saying (but gets cut off a second later):

I suppose references to prostitution don't quite fly with western Nintendo just yet.

Neat, guess ill find out the full extent of the awkward voice acting whenever I pick it up. It's something that every RPG truly needs.

It's a goddamn shame, because I actually LOVED the dub of the original Xenoblade Chronicles. It was actually really well acted, and everything just seemed to fit in nicely.

we can only dream

As dumb as the change is, is the implication still there from the before and after dialog? Or is it entirely dependant on that one line?

...

Because Europe is a continent, not a country. You're thinking of Sweden and Germany.

Well, when a big breasted chick says "I think I have a way to get the money", most people will THINK it, and in the game the character who asks that gets cut off by the main character with "Don't even joke about that!" so despite the removal I think the implication is still there for anyone above the age of 12.

Its a step in the right direction at least for localization. Im not happy but its better than what could have possibly happened.

He's just virtue signaling.

Aw yeah, boobs!

which game made Klepek do this?

...

TITTEHS

No, but now I will play yakuza 0 when I get money so I can literally just buy it from amazon or psn

I wish Kotaku died.

this can't be real
it has to be some user trollin
the only thing it missed to fill my bingo card was some form of we wuz kangs or dindu nuffin

<

it did ,this is kotaco we're talking about

checked and hailed
call me a PS1 era faggot but does anyone here really give a shit about lip sinking or do you just want word by word literal translation like i do?
i'd get it if you were deaf and to lazy to read subtitles but why the fuck would someone care about lipsinc in an animu game?

Prostitution is legal.

I expect a special Dutch patch to correct this TL error.

That's mainly because NoE hired actual soap opera actors for the OG Xenoblade dub. These actors are a bunch of random scotts.

Is that supposed to be a good thing?

Better actors than the folks that dub anime at least.

Are the characters saying anything important outside cutscenes? What are they saying in battle, after battle, when I get new checkpoints? Just the obvious "kill them" or are they commenting on the world?

LOL

Guarantee this was drawn by a jealous womyn.

It is. The artist for that particular blade is a woman, which only turbocharges the irony.

...

she somehow made it more generic.

...

You misogynerds just don't get art. :^)

There is not even one fucking similarity between the two characters. Jesus Christ, Tumblr and game journalists are more afraid of getting an erection to a genuinely attractive or large-chested woman than being cuckolded and crucified at the same time.

Each time. They claim to care about realistic standards but don't wanna draw in a realistic manner.

Low T from sedentary lifestyle + estrogen mimics (soy, plastic) + birth control in the water leads to depression, feminization, man boobs and low sperm count. This is a serious problem plaguing white males that's being completely ignored in favor of these "love wins" and "faggotry is a spectrum" narratives. Many of these guys are seriously ill, physically.

I bet these faggots didn't like Shulk's VA in XBC

In all the cool wrestle movies I watch, that's exactly how they talk. Who are you?

Eh Mombot being a fucking white male would be much better than being a horrid gookess
Fuck the only things worse than a Gookess are Pajeetesses, Kikesses and Niggers and Negresses

its always the fucking children's book artstyle, why do they aim to that? shitty art college?

...

It really isn't a children's book style. It's just highly stylized. And the reason they do it is because you can draw this shit on a whim.

...

more like "i want to fit in" artstyle

...

...

It's supposedly from LUE forums, google Jason+LUE and the "Nepal" PDF.

These faggots always just copy the looks of the main character for these stupid styles instead of trying to figure out how to make their own character look like it fits within the show. Fucking Calart babbies

u dun't have come here if u dont like it!!! XD!

...

I can understand if he was like "Oh man can't show that on stream" and then skipped it, but he doesn't have to be such a baby about it.
He looks like a kid trying to cover his eyes during the scary part of a movie.

I mean I get what's he's trying to do here but it makes this guy look like a fucking loser.

this is both funny and incredibly annoying because its just covering your eyes and screaming "ahh noo i'm a good boy" even though within the game that is a good laugh at how things were like before the internet

"haha why would i even go in here?"

Fucking why?

Fucking soyboys

"MUH STYLE"
you think by now everyone would fucking know that that just means its an excuse to learn properly

I like Futaba. I like dwarfs. I'm not sure I like Futaba as a dwarf.

meanwhile in japan

The picture basically encapsulates the downfall of Western civilization.

...

christ, that's schreier now? he looks like he's aged 20 years over the last 7. Fat, too. That faggot is going to die miserable, and having wasted all that time on empty virtue signaling that he could never successfully cash in.

I forgot this comic was from the escapist lol

For this game specifically? Dunno, haven't played it the first one was godawful I'm just speaking in general for video games.

Anyone who cares about video games to be here enough that isn't a shill or shitposter is at least in the process of learning Japanese.

How can anyone enjoy this?

You have to be white to enjoy the tiddi.

Oh I enjoy the tiddi, but I don't enjoy unrealistic balloons strapped to someone's chest.

My dick weeps.

The only reason anyone goes to Kotaku is because they can afford really good SEO guys so they show up in search results in good positions.

The fact that crier is crying so hard over this game's localization means it's not shit.

I enjoy it solely for the fact that it's ridiculous and I know it will trigger people like crier.

Get out of here, Dobson.

...

DELET

Very unnatural and unappealing breast expansion at that. Just stay with the fucking DD's or F's or whatever have you.

Because it's stupid and over the top. I forget the actual term but sometimes you just get a chuckle over how absurd something is.

Those ones actually have a sense of weight. The Senran image (mod?) above is just silly.

Nothing about that tweet there is anything to get triggered over. He expressed some mild opinions. It's not like he was screaming muh racism muh soginy. The "poorly explained" comment is perfectly reasonable consideringthis is a xeno game and as cool as they are, they're all written by 9 year anime fans.

Yeah it goes even further, medusa magazine had to close up shop because leftists were more batshit crazy than anything they could think up of as satire.

Saving the world with the power of friendship and robots.

Exactly.

It is a mod, but you can also change the weight of the breasts with the mod as well so

You've been BONA FIDE MONAFIED

My fucking nigger.

...

I don't know about all games, but every now and then I switch my Switch's language to Japanese, and for BOTW, my save will load up in Japanese, right where I left off in English. I wish I could change the language in-game, but having the option to change language at all is pretty sweet.

it feels quite natural to me.
"You think you can take me, fucker?"
It just flows…

A lot of Americans are stupid and have no taste.

As you'd expect of a country of SJWs

I'm actually surprised they would be banned for that post

They were probably banned for advocating in any capacity for JonTron not being a banned topic.

A lot of Swedes hate their government for its recent feminist streak and the rapefugees. Germans are pretty cucked, but at least Germans don't go around bragging about being the freest country in the world while making up more bullshit excuses to take away more rights every day.

>>>Holla Forums

Is it really too much to ask for some fucking semblance of gravity in tits?

I'm not asking for boob jiggle physics, just at least put in enough effort when modeling breasts that they don't look like fucking torpedos. No amount of chest muscles could hold up Homura's tits and saying "BUT HER ARMOR IS A SUPER BRA" is a huge cop-out.

I sincerely hope I'm not the only \v\irgin that likes my giga milk to be a wee bit on the saggy side.

cmon user

Just noticed a glaring error in the second image, Jesus Christ America, why would you call a city England?

This needs to stop.

You enjoying that Muslim cock amigo? Or are you too busy getting bootyblasted by Boris in prison for posting mean tweets online? I wouldn't know, we don't have those problems over here.

Those are an America/Europe thing, we don't have those in first world countries.

Is >>>/somethingawful/ down?

"his style" looks like a constipated chinese woman looking over her shoulder out of paranoid fear that the japs will nuke China.

Seriously, showcasing your style should be at your best, and all this faggot can come up with is that utter BULLSHIT?

An artist doesn't have a "style" as he uses the term, only skill. All of the things he drew weren't below his level of drawing, he has no concept of form or anatomy, only exaggeration and symbol drawing. This fucking Calarts cancer has to fucking leave society, this is a creation of someone who has wasted their drawing practice, it's a fucking abortion.

what a fucking sad piece of work.

You can just hear the aids coming from his faggy voice.

We've got an Israel too. We've got everywhere. I don't know what the fuck those dumb fucks who founded the cities thought.

Pyra a cute, but that blue thing is hideous I have a delicate feminine hand feitish cute girls shouldn't have ugly blobs at the end of their arms this is also the reason why I don't like Felicia from darkstalkers

...

The only reason (((that cuck))) wanted treehouse to localize the game is so that he could see all of this censored.

Contains spoiler on poppi's 3rd form.

Fucking this, I literally feel bad for the guy. It looks like Gamergate took all his hair and he gained 20kg in pure fat binge drinking over Neogaf's demise.

He looks like Jon Lovitz now.

IT STOPS YOU TO GIVE YOU A FORCED TUTORIAL EVERY FIFTEEN SECONDS WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT

someday someone will draw her with a snout and I will be able to fap peacefully to it.

Honestly I thought so too until I got to the first mildly challenging fight. I really love the combat system after I got what it's about. That being said

To be fair, even without an ulterior motive to hate on the game, that might be the genuine impression a games journalist would get, considering their intelligence.

...

I had no idea she had a redneck accent
