I love it when I discover obscure hidden gems like this...

Odd Job? why they translate games like shit?

it's called localization. part time jobs are never exist where where the localizationer live.

Dude significant part of video game library is Japanese. Back then you would find Japanese games more instead of English (I exclude Americanos and Europeans because world revolves around them) lol.

Well Americans certainly seem to think the world revolves around them. Whenever I watch a video saying "x game was released in Japan x year, and then in the States x year", I am like "wtf did Europe do to you to get excluded, ya twat??" Then I'd rather when they say "Japan and the West" or "Japan and internationally". That at least includes everyone.

But yeah, deliberate tanget aside, you are right in your sentiment, but "insert Roxas meme here" (you know the one).

I try to prioritize playing obscure, hidden gem type games because they are the ones that don't get much love or attention. Plus, they are the ones likely to surprise me while popular and mainstream games usually provide experiences that are very familiar.

Playing something unique and fresh, or playing another Zelda game? I'll pick the game that's offering something different.

I highly agree! And more obscure games NEED love and attention.

Specially when they "demand" english dub. Like that was something a developer would have to give them to saciate their lack of culture and respect towards other's job.

And there are French who would want the world to make French an international language again. My mes amis refuse to have anything to do with foreign languages, even English so they act like they only know French by demanding French-only despite they know English well, even in random countries they go lolol.

I mean, here in Denmark I am so sick and tired of going into a souvenir store with a Swedish casheer speaking English to me because she believes we can't communicate otherwise, when in reality Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian are so close together most of us understand each other fine. But noooo... we immediately default to English when languages scare us.

I am also tired of encountering Danish pitchers on the pedestrian street who, when asking "if I have a minute" start off asking "English or Danish?" Like, first off they assume I don't know Danish in Denmark. Second, they always ask English first AND they ASK in bloody English. Excuse me when I say I feel my mothertongue is getting bloody devoured from the inside.

As an American I'm beginning to feel attacked. lol
In general I don't think Americans "demand" anything -- its just that the USA is such a large market which speaks one single language that it often makes financial sense to companies to cater to it, at least more than they cater to some other markets.

That's one part. The other, and this is not the fault of the ordinary American citizen, is that English is taking up more and more space in different countries and it creates resentment. I think the main reason for this shift is the Internet. American content dominates because it's the largest and richest Western country (most of us don't speak Chinese or Indian languages so we won't watch that content), which has a strong influence on people around the world since we spend so much time online. Even a forum like this is an example of it. I think English has its place as an "international language" - we probably always need one of those, and it's English now. But when the local language loses too much ground in the real world it bothers a lot of people who grew up with it and also enjoy their local culture.

Yeah thats very understandable. I think its good for people to take pride in their national culture/language/etc.
