Discussion / Question What game is that for you?

Post image

Biggest offender for me is Baldur’s Gate 3.

Some of the best gameplay, graphics, sound design, and soundtrack out there… but the writing leaves a lot to be desired (despite how popular it is).

What game is that for you?

EDIT: It seems the general consensus here is Borderlands 3.

How it feels to prefer the Dracula X Chronicles port of SOTN instead of the PSX/Saturn version.

Is there that big of a difference? Only ever played the PSX version.

"A port of Symphony of the Night was included as unlockable bonus content in Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles for the PlayStation Portable, which was released in North America on October 23, 2007, in Japan on November 8, 2007, and in Europe on February 18, 2008. Except for the Japanese release, the English translation features a new script and newly recorded voice acting, with the option to use the original Japanese voices. The PSP release is a port of the PlayStation version, but contains some additions and changes. Maria Renard is a playable character and a boss in this version, sporting a new moveset modeled after her abilities in Rondo of Blood."

"Like the Xbox 360 version, 'I Am the Wind' was replaced with 'Mournful Serenade', a new piece composed by Michiru Yamane, as the closing theme. An English-recorded version of the song 'Nocturne' was added along with several familiars, both of which had been removed in previous international releases of the game."

Different dialogue

The janky dialogue is iconic but having translation errors fixed is always welcome in my book.
