E.Y.E Divine Cybermancy is Hellgate London + DX

[Jack Of Owls]

Sorry for necroing an old topic but was thinking of giving this game a go. I have the 1.37 version. Heard that the awkward translation makes things needlessly obscure but that there's a patch for it called the Text Revamp Mod, which is supposedly a better translation. Since I'm a newbie to the game would this be recommended over the vanilla experience? Thanks for any input.

Nah. The awkward translation is an inseparable part of the whole package.

And besides, I seriously doubt whether this game would be any less strange even with a perfect translation.

 

[Baron Dupek]

Just look at modern english used in the internet and you get the answer.
Would say that EYE transtaltion is less painful to read than average posts on gaming forums like neoGAP

 

[Raapys]

Still hoping for a properly done sequel to this awesome shit. So much potential. Gib.

Yes, absolutely. Do not listen to Darth, he sees the game as being some kind of performance art exhibition.

You still shouldn't expect the game's story to make much sense, particularly not the ending. It is "open to interpretation", which as we all know is nuspeak for "makes no fucking sense whatsoever."

Nice game, though.

 

[WhiteGuts]

The text is even fucked up in the original -french- version.

No, what I mean is that in a game that is so completely fucked up, the wacky translation where every character talks like a complete nutjob or a mysticool sensei only adds to the general atmosphere.

Now that is true.

Particularly the sikrit true ending to end all endings (tm)(c)(r)

 

[Konjad]

It's not a game where you care about the story, it's a game where you enjoy the atmosphere, shooting and various skills like psi powers and stuffies.

I had no problems with English text and, I'd suggest installing that version that allows multiple small clips per one slot.

Complaining about dialogues is like complaining about story in Zeno Clash. Yes we know Zeno Clash authors were on shrooms, and authors of this were in drunken stupor. But if you have problems with story, you should read some philosophic articles, you don't need to read actual books.

Really? Well, that solves the mystery, then. I genuinely thought it was the translation's fault.

 

[WhiteGuts]

Yeah, there even was a fanmade patch to fix some of it.

 

[DefJam101]

I want EYE 2 now goddamnit

This game is like getting drunk and playing D&D with a bunch of drunk yakuza who don't know how to play D&D, only it's an FPS, they spiked your drink with acid, and you don't speak Japanese

 

[Eyeball]

I thought the fucked-up Firaxian gibberish everybody in the game spoke added a great deal to the experience.

Can't brofist enough.

But, are you guys complaining about the textual translation ?? That's fucked up, I haven't seen anything wrong with the English version..

(Speech on the other hand.. is designed to be that deformed, since it takes place in the future and all.. )

Actually, it's French.

 

[WhiteGuts]

No, it's not french.

Seems interesting.
But is it really worth it to play despite all the inconveniences?

Definitely, especially if you can find someone to co-op it with.

 

[Siveon]

I don't see anything about that game in the review that's "inconvenient". The game is fun, it's worth it. Mandalore Gaming seems to love it.

damn, that's some painful specimen to hear. he has fewer tones than the windows 95 synthetic voice.

 

[Lazing Dirk]

E.Y.E. is one of those games I get tempted to re-install now and then, because I remember the shootings being reasonably amusing, whist also having a metric shit-ton of WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON in it. It feels like the kind of game Prosper might make, except maybe not quite that bonkers. If you get it on Steam you can always just play experience it for 2 hours then refund it if you're still sane, or even carry on playing it if you're having a jolly old time.

 

[iZerw]

I think we had (have?) the developer of the game here. The game is fun and bizarre in a good way.

 

[Farewell into the night]

This game makes me heavy inside my head. I don't know how to write it, but it's literally making me feel bad. Maybe this game is cursed or there is some occult thing going on.

This review made me buy this game on last Steam sale.

 

[Zombra]

I love this game.

 

[unfairlight]

I have about maybe 40 hours on this game total, never completed it though. I may one day. Mars always kinda pissed me off.
