I don't mind so much that games with aliens/foreigners can all understand each other (in a sci fi setting it's reasonable to say they've invented some insane communication tech and fantasy settings might have a common tongue), but what irks me is using Earth measurements.

Like in ME where they conveyed hours and days in Earth time. They missed a good little bit where they could have commented on how the species of different planets measure and perceive time differently. But instead everyone just agrees 24 hours is a day and so on.

I understand that ultimately it needs to be relative to the human perception for the player, but with as detailed as ME was being with its world and commenting on the differences between aliens, you would think the characters would at least comment or discuss at some length their perception of time. Hell, they don't even use some kind of galactic time standard, they all blatantly use Earth measurements without a passing thought.

It would be totally fine if they give an explanation, I can think of a plausible one right now - Aliens are so evolved that they can telepathically learn our language, would be cool that it would have some sort of side effect on them but it's still way more convenient to do that instead of trying to teach us their language.
>>
>>320858041

Either take up a massive amount of dev time making a new language or have it in english/ whatever language is native to you.

Not him but dude, seriously? All they do is scream "HERETIC" and "DEMON." Same with Elites. I'm pretty sure that Grunts are either one of the smartest or are the most capable of being the smartest part of the covenant since they have the ability to quickly learn and speak languages. But since they are basically slaves, nobody ever let's them develop and become that way. It's on the wiki, senpai.

Because in Halo 4, the covenant on that planet are a... "tribe" I guess you could say that teetered from the base Covenant faction and became their own thing. They were either left behind or some other reason. Basically, they're not part of the main Covenant so they never learned the language either.

Any country that can afford to passably dub everything has normies that hate subtitles. The only exception to this are nordic countries but most of what they watch is english (and they already know english and seem to have a weird hardon for it.) Not the case with places like France. So that leaves poorfag countries (which is admittedly a lot) and nordics with normies that consistently tolerate mainstream subtitles.

not him or portugese but dubs are usually not make for smaller or poorer countries because of costs. For example in the netherlands dubbing it would serve about 20 million people. Only movies for children get dubbed. However once theres more money you can start dubbing. I assume now the colonies that speak portugese start becoming richer there are more people to serve and thus dubs get made..

I'm actually not Russian so i wouldn't know. It's always the same fucking guy doing the voices too, i wonder if he is just miserable or if he has fun with his job. He certainly sounds miserable saying "You're cock is so big! Yes! Fuck my pussy! Yes!" in the most monotone, grave, Russian voice. It's like he is reading the weather forecast, shit is hilarious.

The only thing left is live action movies and series. I said slowly, there is still a lot of media that is presented with original voices and subtitles but more and more have been getting dubs over the ages.

Animated films like Pixar and Dreamworks stuff is particularly aggravating because of how absolute dogshit they are. Games are fucking awful too. Fucking Kratos...ugh.

You're going too far in the other direction. Bear in mind a lot of the best scifi was a side thing for actual scientists and their brought some of the technologies that they predicted into the real world.

Then there's the fact that many asteroids have more valuable resources than all of what we've currently mined on earth.

Or the fact that our modern way of life is mostly possible with tech from the last century or two. Which is a tiny piece of our history.

Man I remember that one Star Trek DS9 episode where it took half the episode for the translator to come up with a translation matrix for some race of peasants.

Another one is the episode Little Green Men where Quark, Rom and Nog crash into Area 51 a major plot point at the start was how their UTs weren't functional at first.
Makes you wonder though how they work at all if, as shown in that episode, a personal UT is in their ear how it translates their speech into English.

I did like how they did it for the Gorn in Enterprise, where you could hear it's native hissing-speech underneath the machine translated English, that was a very nice depiction of simultaneous translation

Not even being a "humans r ebuhl" faggot but I'm sure a large percentage of fictional alien races would succumb to human cultural exchange if only out of fear of reprisal within a few decades/centuries.

It's also quite telling that when a human is given the option to invent an alien, or otherwise foreign, race we usually come up with 1-2 variations of "space jesus" or many, many variations of "THEY KILL/EAT EVERYTHING"
Even The Day The Earth Stood Still, which was primarily against human conceptions of foreign militarism, had the aliums blow a bunch of shit up.
