Yep I’m playing that as well each year. It’s fun for sure.

That sucks to see.

Such a great game!

Yeah not a good look, Microsoft needs to hire more people in every region that Xbox is in to help with the games presentation.

Yep in terms of localization Xbox is far behind Sony and they need to do something about it, Sony even does full Greek voice acting in some of their big titles which isn’t always the best but at least they’re trying.

To give an example if you choose Greek as the main language on your Xbox the dashboard will be a mix of English in the UI and comedy gold level of translated Greek in the Game Pass section…also for some reason all Xbox 360 titles suddenly disappear from your achievement list because Clubs do not work in Greek so there is some kind of bug there as well. So yeah they could do much better than that.

I saw the survey of Ryza that you posted. But I never played the game, also, will this increase any chances of it coming to Xbox? If yes, then I’ll absolutely fill it in. :slight_smile:

I’ve read the texts, not accurate translation, also there are other texts translated to completely different meaning … bad ones

Easily suggest for Xbox to collaborate with any freelance localization team in the region and make them translate every single game in Xbox Store professionally. For instance, Anime success in ME wasn’t possible without those teams.

You have every right to criticize. I’m not stopping anyone from exposing. It’s just I personally keep seeing it popping up in my thread algorithm.

I can’t evaluate the translation qualtity but shouldn’t it read from right to left? It seems the programmers at Mojang only accounted for left to right paragraphs.

Could also be all auto translated, Microsoft on the whole has just a thing for this.

This is not a good look for a company operating worldwide. This should have been fixed ages ago.

Filling it out or not probably doesn’t matter that much in the end. I just thought it was interesting they were asking about Game Pass (and PS+) on an Atelier survey. So it seems like they are considering it or even working on it like Persona when surveys for that started mentioning Xbox.

The new zelda trailer reignited my hype fantastic trailer! But I probably sell or not buy my Collectors edition after further inspection I really dont like the content for the price. I love the master sword of the Breath of the Wild collection but this is rather meh

Ghostwire: Tokyo is absolutely awesome, you should definitely check it out. I love this game, and it plays and looks great on my Series X in High Performance mode. This is GOTY type game for me right now, so glad to have Tango Gameworks on board.

I don’t give af personally, but their localization sucks in general. Even when they try and almost get things correct it is obvious that a machine has done it, no native speaker (or at least not one with a good grasp of the language) has gone over their attempts at Swedish either that’s for sure. Using expressions and too literal translations that is simply not used in the language. Makes it immediately stand out as wrong, or “off”.

I really don’t understand how a trillion dollar company cannot hire people with language- and translation skills. It should be trivial.

Will you ever use this if it was real and available?

This looks even more daunting to use than a Hitbox. ( which I hear is actually fairly easy to use despite how it looks)

Bungie had layoffs, not that the gaming media cares if its not Xbox.

It’s sad but not surprising.
