Tetsuo, do games w Cyberpunk 2077's Ukrainian localisation takes the piss out of Russia's war

Well I can’t read that article without accepting cookies.

Too bad ¯_(ツ)_/¯

SolOrion,

It’s a couple dialogue lines-

one of Cyberpunk 2077’s Ukrainian dialogue line alters “We’re fucking through” to a Ukrainian phrase that roughly means “Go fuck yourself in the same direction as the ship did”.

One line of police dialogue referring to the game’s Scavengers faction has been altered from the English “Couldn’t all these assholes bite it out in the Badlands?” to a Ukrainian phrase that translates as “Couldn’t all this rusnia bite it out in the Badlands?”

Some of the phrasing in the inventory-

There are also apparent references on inventory screens to Ukrainian state messaging during the war. “‘Є перевага’ literally means ‘there is an advantage’,” Tarasov told me. "A reference to the governmental digital initiatives’ branding during Zelensky’s tenure

And some graffiti-

There also appears to be brand new graffiti in the game that references Russia’s occupation of Crimea in 2014. “The graffiti represents the outlines of Crimea, the peninsula that was illegally annexed from Ukraine by russia in 2014,” Tarasov told me. “Juxtaposed are the Ukrainian coat of arms and taraq tamga (the symbol of Crimean Tatars).” The suggestion is that in Cyberpunk 2077’s world, Crimea is part of Ukraine.

I mean most games can’t even bother to give colorblind people a slider or a palette of colors to change the red outlines and tints they put on things. That’s a way easier problem to solve than variable sized text in a UI.

hydroel, (edited ) do games w The next Sims game will be free-to-play with paid DLC

The Sims 4 base game is already free. So if I’m understanding this correctly, EA, of all game publishers, is announcing that, against all odds, a free-to-play game with in-game MTX is an efficient business model that they want to promote? This might not be related at all that the Sims has always been a license that caters to the general, not particularly gamer audience.

With Sims 4 already being F2P this announcement just means they are once again going to resell the same content back to you at a premium. Piecing up their game even more.

Rocketpoweredgorilla, do gaming w Skyrim-style open world RPG Tainted Grail: The Fall Of Avalon releases out of early access today
@Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca avatar

With a name like that I half expected a Monty Python themed game.

Vodulas,

I mean, Arthurian legend/the quest for the grail has been around for like a long time before Monty Python.

Well yes, the story of Arthur goes back centuries, that’s where they got the idea from for the movie. It’s just that to me “Tainted Grail” sounded like something right up their alley.

Vodulas,

Oh, that kind of taint. Having played the game instead thinking about it in the corrupted sense

Ya just my silly mind at work and I thought it was a little humorous at least, even if no one else did.

Vodulas,

No, you’re all good, just my brain being one track

Apparently mine is on the other track lol

Bronzebeard,

The fractured but whole.

ByteOnBikes, do gaming w Please, call a job cut a job cut

Edwin Evans-Thirlwell 3223 Staff 23 hours ago

I have lost my job to wider cuts a few times myself and on reflection, I think I prefer being “aligned” or “realigned” inasmuch as it makes me feel like a cool laser satellite. But I am not immune to the frictive charms of being “restructured”, which makes me feel like a Transformer

I absolutely love the comments on RPS. It’s hits like these which makes me keep coming back.
