Are you stupid or something? You really think people's standards are low enough that they would stand for a game that runs on subtitles the entire way through?
It's almost like people like to understand what the characters are saying.
I just assume that whatever game I play that does this, the game is translating that games native language into english

>the hivemind is the bad guys creation and the remaining pure creatures don't have it as a result
>BUT SOMEHOW THEY CAN SPEAK TO YOU ACROSS GREAT DISTANCES IN PERFECT ENGLISH
And then the game started crashing every few minutes regardless of graphics settings when it was previously running like butter on high. And to think i almost bought LotV. Thank fuck i decided to replay WoL and HotS first
I hate video games
>>321893136
Is there an actual game that's done this?
>>321893378
Okami basically did. In fact any video game ever without voice acting is on subtitles.
Well its like any japanese game (or anime) that takes place in a clearly western civilization-based setting, but everyone speaks Japanese.
Because the ludicrous amount of extra work that would be involved in writing a script in the proper period and locational language is vastly disproportional to what they'd actually gain from it, which at best is satisfying some random nerd's autism on the internet.
Now if there's a distinct acknowledgement that they're speaking this out of place language, then it gets a bit silly.
>game takes place in a different planet
>everyone speaks flawless english
>they awkwardly dance around referring to what language they're speaking in
"WOW! HE SPEAKS OUR LANGUAGE!!!"
"How do you know my language?"
"I don't know what you're saying. Speak our language please."

They're not speaking English, they're speaking whatever is the common language of that planet, translated to English for you.
They all use a Babel fish
>>321894131
>Using random Russian characters that don't even vaguely match up with the English sounds they're supposed to represent.
Never fails to piss me off. A bunch of empty minded shill niggers that are like "lmao COMMUNISM xDDDD" because they played Black Ops way back in the day.
They all need to be gassed.

tl;dr
>>321892807
It is live translation from alien language.
Use your imagination for once
>>321897152
Not op
I honestly think it would be a cool idea that in a game where you visit a alien planet your character has to learn the language by having enough interactions with npcs and in the mean time you have to try to find a companion that can function as a translator. And as your character slowly learns the language certain words appear in plain english in the subtitles.
Something like
ejk fghoi kwui ctops hnbea
to
use fghoi to get ctops hnbea
to
use a sword to get kills

What are they shilling? You mad, cyka?
>>321897152
This, but it sucks when the game/series/book/whatever gets localized to other language and they keep shit in English. I think about this a lot and it triggers me everytime it happens.
For example, surnames with meaning related to the character like Goldbeard, Treehugger or Ironwill.

creating a whole new language and alphabet is pretty complex and brings nothing to the game, people are able to bypass the fact that everyone speaks english most of the time, because it's simple.
sure, the could use an alphabet that just has diferent symbols, but there's still the problem of making a whole language, and you need people for that, people you could just not hire in the first place and spend money on other stuff, like good designs and stuff.
that being said, the extra effort can be worth it in lore-heavy games, especially if you just create a new alphabet.
>>321892807
Would you say that you were stuck on this different planet?
>>321898939
I suppose it could be useful for a truly spectacular tolkien game where the unknown language is Elvish, which basically exists thanks to tolkiens intense dedication to his work. The extra effort then could go to making sure it all feels natural fro someone who might have really learned Elvish.
Also there might even be a way to use it where it isn't even a real language that you are learning and instead it is a lovecraft type situation where the "language" is that of the ancients and the progression is simply the player is being able to comprehend the sounds given off by these ancient all-powerful beings
