wilhelm scream

[bipbob]

The Wilhelm scream, in the first minute of the game, in a serious cinematic intro, in 2023. Show immediately: a - the game has really cheap sense of humor, b - the people behind the audio are low professionals thinking too much about themselves. Any sound designer with self respect nowadays would not even think about using it. Couldn't you at least veil the sound with some post processing? Gosh... the cringe and sadness.

Why? It breaks immersion. Whenever I hear it, it immediately pulls me out of whatever film I'm watching or game I'm playing. I really wish sound designers would find a new "tradition".

You see, that's a YOU problem when you let it bother you so much.

Culture thing....if all Indiana Jones and ( original) Star wars films have them on purpose it is not meant as cheap but as a comical to those who know. Or it seems annoying as well.

Too much knowledge ( of useless things like this certainly ) does not make one happier. Ignorance is bliss....millions upon millions of movie watchers and gamers do not recognize this scream and take it for just what it is ..a scream.

Everything can be a YOU problem if you want to silence criticism.

Thanks for the input, though. Hugs and kisses. XxXxX

Nah, it's literally a YOU problem.
It's a less than 1-second audio clip of a character screaming that plays once during the game that you're playing or the movie that you're watching, and you let it bother you so much that you want to complain about it, when most people either don't care, have a "aha" moment, or don't even notice it. It's literally a non-issue and a fun-thing for the creative people that make these medias and for each other to spot it.

Is there anything else that you'd like to complain about?

You're the one doing the most complaining here. My friend, people are going to criticise things that you don't have an issue with. It's going to happen often in life. The earlier you learn to deal with that reality, the better for you in the long run.

This thread would have been dead already if you didn't keep coming back to complain that someone doesn't like something that you don't care about.

Now is there anything else that you want to bellyache over?

You probably shouldn't treat digital media like it's a second life. I would say you have some very unhealthy immersion if you are so invested in something that a singular Wilhelm scream ruins it for you.

Now being immersed in games and movies is "unhealthy immersion" and "treating digital media like it's a second life".

When you go full nonsensical to try and discredit someone's opinions. Jesus wept.

So... a Larian game? With humor you're likely to either love or hate? I personally can't think of many games having similar entertaining humor compared to some Larian games.

Expecting the entire world to agree with you when you're just being a silly little contrarian is such an incredible oxymoron that you have to be either completely lacking in self-awareness, or you're just some troll who's mad that people are actually enjoying a game.

I get it, I felt the same way about Halo: Infinite, I HATED it ever since they announced it. The difference is, I turned out to be justified.

Baldur's Gate isn't going to be fueled by microtransactions and FOMO, and it's not going to degrade into stale slop.

You're not going to convince anyone that a 1 second long audio bite is even remotely as bad as anything we see in AAA games on the regular.

Nobody expects the world to agree with them. You're welcome for me dismantling your strawman for you.

Let me know if you have any other strawmen you want dismantled. :)

It was a weird place to insert a joke, I'll give you that.
