Shut your mouth Macron, this isn't about you
Macron always has a knack to try to use things popular with younger people to score political gains. Infamously with the ZEvent, for instance.
It is now traditional for them to answer with "Shut your mouth Macron, this isn't about you".
Now want to try it less Macron has horrible judgement no reason to assume his gaming judgement is different.
Its a pretty fab game, idiot endorsement or not
It deserves all the praise it has received. What an incredible game.
I did myself the disservice of watching a synopsis of the game to see what the hype is all about. All spoilers known.
Holy shit am I going to buy the hell out of this game anyway.
It does have a lot of replay value because the gameplay loop is tight, and the foreshadowing work is so outstandingly tight that every in-game conversation has a second layer of meaning once you know the story twists.
Also they added a photo mode and I kinda wanna do a NG+ just for that.
I do have a question playing this game: how many decided to play with French language and subs? Somehow it feels that is the way intended with this game
Nope, even tho the game is french, the original is English and French is a dub. They even splurged for well known/good english voice actors. But french dub is also good, so you can go for it if you want. Try both for a few minutes and decide which one you want, I guess?
Akshully both are dubs, but the script and mocap sessions were done in English. On top of that the French dub was outsourced and the game director and lead writer weren't in the studio like for the English dub, and it shows IMO. Some French lines clearly don't have the same level of direction as the "canonical" dub.
However I will say it's still a better dub than most French dubs. I'd argue the bar is on the floor but the francophone dubbing lobby would draw and quarter me for holding such heretic opinions.
I've had very little luck with playing games in French lately, recent dubs I've tried all sound like poorly acted téléfilms imo...
That's a shame, because both Plague Tale games, as well as E33 might (could) sound much better in French, but I can't get past the way VA is done when compared to their English counterpart.
Yeah I'm French and I actually played it in English... Mostly for Jennifer English
I switched to french with English subtitles.... Because Mielle sounded like Shadowheart. It was fine for most stuff, but all of the jump/dodge/hit sounds, it sounded just like her.
Disadvantages of common voice actors....
The English VA is really good and if you don't speak French you will miss some characterizing lines. Combat barks and such aren't subtitled, and neither is what little passive chatter between NPCs there is.
I've been told the French is rather mediocre compared to the English.
I just don‘t like the game because it has turn based combat. Like it‘s an RPG but you can‘t demolish foes with reaction skills. Where‘s the fun in that?
You actually can smoke foes with parries and reactive skills.
That‘s atleast something. I just saw some screenshots and didn‘t like how it looked.
To me, combat needs to have positioning and creative interaction with terrain to be fun, which is why I love FromSoft games and soulslikes in general.
Imagine being this clueless.
I watched gameplay and it looked boring af. Miitopia for the 3DS had better turn based combat than this.
I don't like it because its French.
