I'm like 20 hours into this game and "Pisseth off" is still one of my favourite lines.

Thou stupid rear end in a top hat!  The translation team clearly had fun with this  What was this scene like in Japanese? Are Shakespeare's plays translated in some classical Japanese equivalent?

For whatever reason shakespeare is pretty well known over there and sees alot of productions. They even have a replica of the Globe Theatre in tokyo. edit: translation wise i'd be surprised if they didn't just use the straight up old english words in their productions, japan loves that poo poo Clever Spambot fucked around with this message at 20:09 on May 30, 2017 |

I sure was not expecting Romeos and Juliets, a murder in 6 robots. I can't help but think the Bard would approve of this though.

So glad we got to this part. Romeos and Juliets is truly a thing of beauty. Honestly for 10000 years and being a different species and presumably speaking a totally different language it's quite the impressive reproduction.

The best of it for me is the receptionist bot's "Ummm... welllll...." afterwards, as though they'd been rehearsing this for weeks and only just now realized that, having exploded all 6 actors, this would be a one-night showing.

Maxwell Adams posted:You can hear the original "Pisseth off" at 1:50. Maybe someone here can provide a literal translation. It sounds like plain, modern Japanese to me, if literary rather than colloquial. At least at the start. It's pretty much the same as the English except for that. おお、ロミオ、ロミオ、あなたはなぜロミオなの? - Oh, Romeo, Romeo, why are you Romeo? ああ、ジュリエット、ジュリエット、あなたはなぜジュリエットなの? - Ah, Juliet, Juliet, why are you Juliet? おお、ロミオ、ロミオ、一体どれがロミオなの? - Oh, Romeo, Romeo, what the heck, which one of you is Romeo? ああ、ジュリエット、ジュリエット、私もよく分からないんだ - Ah, Juliet, Juliet, I don't really know either. おお、ロミオ、ロミオ、ならば、あなたの数を減らしましょう! Oh, Romeo, Romeo, in that case, let's reduce your numbers! ああ、ジュリエット、ジュリエット、ならば、君の命も奪って見せよ! Ah, Juliet, Juliet, in that case, I'll make sure to also steal away your life! 死んでい、ロミオ! このくそ野郎! - Die, Romeo! You loving rear end in a top hat! 生まれたことを後悔させてやる! これぇ! - I will make you regret the fact that you were born! Take this! 貴様に土の味を味あわせてやる! - I'll make you taste dirt, you bastard! 死ねぇぇぇ! - Dieeeee! 破壊する! - I'll destroy you! いたい！いたい！殺す！ - Ow! Owww! I'll kill you! 死ね、死ねぇぇ！ - Die, dieee! ぶっ壊す！ - I'll crush you! この腐れ女、世界から消えて亡くなれぇぇぇ！ - Vanish from this world and die, you rotten woman! 滅びよ！呪われし男よ! - Perish, you accursed man! バカチンがぁぁ！ - You dummyyyy! (This is the "pisseth off" line... it's a bit different in Japanese. It's "moron" with a familiar suffix.) あ、ロミオはもういない。全部殺してしまった。私もお供いたします! - Oh, Romeo is no more. I ended up killing them all. I, too, shall go with them! Hyper Crab Tank fucked around with this message at 22:48 on May 30, 2017 |

I got through the game, have about 60 hours invested in it, and was sorely tempted to start a second file to save right before Romeos and Juliets. I burst out laughing at this part.

I played this game back in the interim between "I am Setsuna" and this thread, when you were pretending to have quit your crippling LP addiction, and this was the point where i realized that you were going to have to do it eventually. Between the machine orgy earlier and this part here, I knew there was no way you were staying away from loving this poo poo for long. It's a love that crushes like a mace.StandardVC10 posted:To be more precise, five murders and a suicide. I feel like the biggest inaccuracy in the machine version is that the Romeos and Juliets react way too rationally and mature in comparison to their real-world counterparts. Only one out of the six needlessly killed themselves, and they have much more meaningful and emotive dialogue between each other prior to their deaths.

I like Pod's serious business mode for this theme park stamp collecting quest.I half wondered if they'd stop fighting once they got down to one each, but then that didn't happen. Agreeing that the announcer bot's "Ummm, well." line is my favorite. Made better by talking to the audience and finding out this is not the first show. So the question is, did they do a different show earlier and this was new, is the announcer bot new, or does the announcer bot always forget the play involves the actors blowing up?

It just occurred to me. That one stubby on the left who fell over... how would they even get back up? Their arms aren't long enough to right themselves, and their legs don't have enough articulation to get back up either. This game missed a big chance to have a rolling, donkey Kong barrel style machine. Also, "hack hug" becomes a lot darker once you see what 9S' hacking generally does to machines InequalityGodzilla fucked around with this message at 01:53 on May 31, 2017 |

(I had to look up a version with Japanese text) which is sort of hard to translate. -chin is really cutesy and childish and insulting depending on the context, like "sweetie-pie" or something. I get the feeling there's a pun or something there but it's not one I get. From the conversations I've had with some Japanese friends, the "chin" is short for "chinko", or penis. Bakachin is basically calling someone a stupid dick

McFetusBurger posted:Didn't 9S keep saying the machines aren't intelligent and don't say anything meaningful? He's sure taking this functional village of sentient robots in stride. He also seems pretty ok with talking to and helping them out. Not at all trying to call out bad writing (though the speed at which he changes his stance is pretty jarring), in fact it seems like this current generation of androids thinks a lot more flexibly on their duty and attitude towards the machines (we've seen multiple desertions even though they just deployed at the beginning of the game, including 2 who were hiding out in a machine village). He was mostly referring to the machines that they fight and the random recordings they repeat. And typically they are assumed to be connected to the network. And he seems just doubtful when the machine just seems to copy human behaviors, so there weren't enough basis to just determine whether they reaaly have sentience just from what they do, especially when they sort of function more like organs when connected to the network. For the others, which are mostly disconnected from the network, they are more of a wild card for him since they are mostly self contained AI that have wide variety of developements over thousands of years, so it would pique his curiosity on what really makes them tick. And since they aren't part of the network, i.e. the enemy, there is no directive for him to just destroy on sight nor avoid interacting with them. So he would have no problem applying diplomacy for the sake of avoiding unneccessary combat. But he could still remain doubtful of actual sentience, since those can't just be determined from how they act from appearance (after all from our perspective the game or 'A.I' web chat programs itself doesn't have actual sentient AI despite the attempt at emulating them)

Randomzx posted:He was mostly referring to the machines that they fight and the random recordings they repeat. And typically they are assumed to be connected to the network. Yeah, there's a bit of a progression. He goes from "just spewing old world data" in the factory, then is surprised when Engels talked, then thinks they're just mimicking human behaviour in the desert. He's totally weirded out by the robo-orgy... the roborgy... and I think him telling 2B not to listen is just as much trying to reassure himself. Then after Simone's fight he's actually willing to consider that she had emotions (gets smacked down by 2B, who's her own story), but is totally curious about checking out the village. Then he's definitely quite suspicious, but gives Pascal and co. a chance. I agree he's kind of in denial there, and is trying really hard to keep being robo-racist... robocist... and you know, not get into an existential/programming crisis (of conscience). But then everything ID has covered since then has been optional sidequests that can be done in just about any order, which makes it kind of hard for 9S to have coherent or consistent development*, at least for now, but I think his current mindset is basically "willing to give some machines a chance, and is slightly open to the possibility they might be self-aware". *a 9S who didn't do either of the escort missions and only did the Jean-Paul fetch chain would probably have a much worse opinion of machines Mazerunner fucked around with this message at 12:45 on May 31, 2017 |
