Pathfinder Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Jarpie]

Oh great! Kickstarter comments have turned into favela fight over financial and moral duty for Owlcats to translate game into Portuguese. Aaand now Brazzilians in comments have switched from english to their tongue, split into warring factions and every third comment is written in increasingly angry Portuguese.Typical RPG Kickstarter Day 8th

They should just learn english.

It'd be very odd for me to play game translated to finnish.

 

[S.torch]

Which is much better than catering for stupid Latinos.

I'm used to talking to people, not to uneducated animals that bite and attack without provocation, which is what you're doing.

So I request you, that if you talk to me again, you do it without biting or barking. Thank you.

 

[LannTheStupid]

that if you talk to me again, you do it without biting or barking.

I am voting Kitsune, so I am unable to fulfill your request.

Oh, cry me a river.
I'll translate that to Russian for you too: Oh, Crimea river.

Me too! I am voting RATFOLK and I can't fulfill your request either.

 

[Ontopoly]

how do we make sure Owlcat is uncorrupted for the years to come?

Make sure they stay small and humble. As soon as any studio gets big enough they'll sell out to the casuals and strip away any mechanic to appeal to them. Also the less people who play their games the less people there are to complain.

That is actually amazing.

I just hope there are no Ukrainians here, or I would feel bad...

Time-limited decisions are gone too - apperently players absolutely hated them.

>Your shift in either direction is accompanied by appearance changes that will change how you're treated by NPCS.
Neat.

 

[LannTheStupid]

Do rats bark, though? 'cause foxes surely do.

We come one step closer to decline every day. I can't even imagine what gaming will be like in 20 years. They will probably put a feature on Steam where it just gives you all the achievements and even 1000 hours played because "there's nothing wrong with giving people choices"

I can see people getting frustrated with everything in Kingmaker being on a timer but I thought it gave a great sense of urgency when normally the main plot of an RPG conveys fake urgency with no consequences for ignoring it (BG2, POE, POE2, etc).
I don't think they should do away with it completely even if they take away the global main-plot timer, have a few certain main and side quests be time-sensitive at least.

 

[Ontopoly]

People can't handle choice. It's up to the developers to force the player to play the game properly. Given the chance, every player will take the one hit sword and take all the fun out of the game. We need strong developers who are confident in their vision and are willing to enact their will upon us. We are all weak and stupid and need a strong guiding hand. Strength in a game should be earned through hard work and proper planning, never given easily.

 

[Alpan]

What the fuck? Someone tell Tom Senior "PoE" stands for Pillars of Eternity.

Also Deadfire translations

Just because you found a bad official translation, it doesn't necessarily relate with the difficulty of translating something. Tyranny unlike Pillars of Eternity had a good translation, even though this was a smaller game in size and scope.

But let's take that aside, your whole argument centres on: making good translations costs a lot of effort, and a lot of money. However, there are countless RPGs that have been translated by fans with excellent results in small frames of time. If literally one tiny group of people can translate a game for free, out of simple goodwill, what is stopping a company, not for free, but with payment included to do a good translation? It's one thing that they can't and it's another that they don't want to.

So, while no company is forced to make any translation to any language, there is also no reason to try to sell that a company with the money in the hand is uncapable, instead of unwilling, to translate it to another language.

 

[Brainlet2]

some of the goals went to putting humanoid rats or cats in the game.

Which is much better than catering for stupid Latinos.

As a stupid latino i'd rather have the money go into new races and classes

 

[Efe]

its hard to find quality translators even if you pay for it.

So, what stops the player now to rest before every fucking combat?

 

[S.torch]

its hard to find quality translators even if you pay for it.

Yet fans do it for free (often better than the "officials" translations).

 

[Lawntoilet]

It's one thing that they can't and it's another that they don't want to.

Yeah well I could say the same about youse guys what wants the translation to French or Por-chinese or what have ya, like how come alls youse don't just learn to talk English good? It's one thing to say you can't and another that you don't want to. Like hey smart guy if youse're so smart how comes youse don't just learn English then?

Goddamned normies. That's why we can't have nice things.
