I can't get the Steam overlay to work for some reason. Meaning to FPS counter, no screenshots, no achievements.
Playing on ps4 pro. It's good, but it basically controls like Killzone 2. Aiming is super slow and laggy, even at max sensitivity.
Not noticed an issue tbh. Finish a level, you get a character do a voiceover to update you on story, hold square, then you're in.
Yeah but Japanese are more likely to be not buggy on launch than western ones.
I can't recall a recent Japanese AAA game being broken and buggy on release day, even MGSV which is literally an unfinished game feels extremely polished.
Dark mentioned the gamma is messed up on X during his Crackdown 3 analysis. Said it's now happened a few times on X recently.
Plenty of polished western examples that are just fine on release: Spider-Man, God of War, Detroit, Horizon Zero Dawn. I think it's more the Eastern European devs that mess up sometimes: The Witcher 3, Original Metro games, Dying Light (awesome game, but has never been a polished product on consoles), Kingdom Come. All had issues at the beginning (or still have issues). All from Poland/Ukraine.

It could be the actual tone/emotion/performance, not the accent
Just started this on Xbox One X. It's definitely one of the best looking console games I've ever seen. The detail is incredible. Resolution really keeps it sharp and beautiful. It's gorgeous.
bloodborne was a fucking mess technically on ps4 (and souls saga in general suffer in many technical areas) and xenoblade 2 was ultra shitty in handled mode, nier automata was graphically subpar and with an orrible framerate even on pc, ff15 at launch was literally an incomplete game with some framepacing\framerate problem and i can continue...Yeah but Japanese are more likely to be not buggy on launch than western ones.

Performance isn't just mocap or getting worked up - it's tone, pace of delivery, imbuing the voice with unique character (tics, habits, timbre, etc), showing a range and emotion.The girl certainly gets worked up at the appropriate times. However there is a distinct lack of motion capture so I can see the argument for lack of performance.
I guess it's the limitations of a studio with limited resources but striving for AAA standards.
I'm really enjoying it so far. Very much like wolf 2 but without the cutscenes.
Kingdom Come is a Czech game
And Witcher 3 was at a better state at release than any modern Bethesda or Obsidian game
The voice acting can be pretty immersion braking at times and some characters have russian accents while others sound more american.
I saw there were was a lot of criticism for the English voice acting in reviews, having started playing the game I think it might be Americans not used to eastern European accents because it just sounds like Eastern Europeans speak English.
European here so used to it. Any other Europeans think the same ?

Are you playing with HDR enabled? Did you up the ingame Gamma setting a little or left it at default?
Im not doubting the authenticity of it, it just sounds bad imo

Yes to HDR. I had to whack up the gamma a bit. The gamma slider seems broken to me - I could never see the left most image. I put the slider up about two thirds of the way I think. Feels about right?
Yeah they sound fine to me. Wouldn't complain about the voice acting at all, sounds suitably authentic to my English ear.
Is there no Russian voice acting option in this one?

You don't need to do that on PS4 at least. You can change VO language from the settings on the main menu. You can't change it once you're in-game however.Yes, but you need to set your console on Russian language and then it apparently downloads the Russian VO.

Oh, maybe this was my problem... I'll try it from the main menu on Xbox!
I thought it would be available there as well but I didn't see it. Would be strange as hell if it's only available that way on PS4.
Anyone else have terrible input lag on X?
Opening scene was horrible, later on is bareable but again kind of terrible...
Not responsive at all

WHAT
WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS
That's awful to hear because the English voice work has always been weak enough to harm the presentation in the previous game.
This might have killed my purchase, at least at full price
WHATStrangely enough the option isn't there. Previous two games did have it.
Can't check right now because I'm not next to my console, but IIRC the setting wasn't in a particularly obvious place. Think it might have been in gameplay settings, and you had to scroll down to see it. It would be easy to miss.
Voice options are absolutely there on Xbox, too. You just have to go back to the main menu and press "X" to download the voice languages you want.
The english VA isn't bad because of the accents, it's because they are badly acted, accents or not. Anna especially has incredibly flat delivery and keeps emphasizing weird parts of sentences. There's also little to no "flow" to the dialogues. There was one scene when I saved a Nurse and she joined our caravan, where she, a child and a few from our group talked. One of them made a joke that made little to no sense to me in english and seemed to be lost in translation. After that, there was like a 2 second pause where everyone just stared at each other and then everyone, at the same time, literally said:
"Ha! Ha!"
It was one of the more stilted conversations I have seen in a video game in quite some time. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely adore the game, but the storytelling and voice acting leaves a lot to be desired for me.
It's there. I wish people wouldn't spread misinformation like this without being sure. I played the Xbox One version with Russian VA myself.

Oh man that scared me man lmaoYes they indeed are in on Xbox too! I just had to go into the game settings and I didn't do that. I really expected it to be at sound. My bad!
No worries! It's all in! Game options and then voice language. :)
I figured those who weren't clicking with the mechanics were unfamiliar with the series, but it's disappointing to hear this from a fanI love Metro 2033 and Last Light but damn was this a rough experience.
