Subtitles HAVE to be AI and Kawayu Beach briefing has me wondering.

[Jaded]

Do we know who the voice actors are for this game?

Ive noticed the subtitles seem like they were done by an AI as sometimes you'll hear "Swap" but instead it says "Swat" A little weird huh.. There were a couple other instances ive heard of the subtitles being changed to similar words, but i don't personally want to write all that down.

We know the art is AI which is exactly why im thinking about all this, and im honestly a little suspect that the briefing is AI generated. In Kawayu beach the briefing has a dialogue transcript saying "Officer (can be the same or different): ♥♥♥♥." and they mention all this crazy ♥♥♥♥ about Hue Nguyen having full blown lung cancer saying that SHE was the one who called them and gave them the information, yet the phone call is VERY clearly a man.

I dont want to believe im right about this and maybe im just sleep deprived, but something about it all feels so... off.

Other blatant examples for the subtitles:
"Fallen behind me"
"Reuvan out"

Manufacturing weapons for sale is illegal without a license. They are also converting the weapons to full auto which is, again, illegal. This is stated in the briefing and as environmental storytelling throughout the mission.

It depends on what part of the weapon. Only a few of the parts are considered a firearm and need the proper paperwork to be legal. Converting semi-auto to full auto CAN be done legally.

Still does not explain why EVERY SUSPECT is highly trained paramilitary.

But if you want to throw environmental story telling, go to the guard stand in MindJot and there is a voice memo telling guards to watch out for people pretending to be police. Dumb reasons are still dumb.

only the streamer mission is a miss leading from the briefing but thats by desing

Terrible design. It would have made more sense to run into a drug house... but a server farm that is guarded by highly trained paramilitary? So dumb.

I like the streamer mission but I will admit, the enemies were insane. They look like your average gangster but some of those guys were carrying AKs. I didn't really understand it either. I know we were supposed to be swatting a streamer but encountering a heavily armed gang was rough.

Kinda rough coming from the easy convenience store mission to this.

Wouldn't shock me at all if they were using auto-generated captions at this point in development. As mentioned, this is something Youtube already does on every single video when it can detect some speech. It's because it kind of works, and is very low labor.

I get the dislike and fear of AI specifically, but I don't think this situation is particularly relevant to that discussion.

Basically, they aren't a priority right now. Subtitles are an accessibility feature, not one required for gameplay to function. The game is still actively being changed. It is actually a waste of resources to pay someone to write out subtitles for content that might get entirely erased before release. Proper subtitles come far later in production, once you have finalized the story, the scripts, all the small lines from your SWAT team, etc.

Same goes for the mission briefings. Some are in a weird state right now, but I wouldn't expect them to stay that way. This reminds me a lot of other games open access cycles, the story parts are pretty janky while they are still figuring it out. It's a clear sign of the story being a WIP, but that's not inherently the end of the world.

I'm not too upset now. I would be if they were in this state at 1.0 release.

Depending on state laws, it is perfectly legal to manufacture your own firearms and sell them without a license, provided both you and the people you are selling to are not a convicted felon, and you have it serialized as well, assuming you made it from scratch or something. However, to it put simply, you are correct about making machine guns is illegal. Unless you're an SOT iirc.

TIL typos and small errors = everything was made by AI

Mission briefing is considered small to you? Every briefing has to be created by AI. Entire briefings are completely unrelated to what you are actually going to encounter.

And what the heck is an "illegal server farm". Last I checked, server farms are legal. If there was illegal stuff on it, then that would make sense, but they literally walk into the room and call it illegal.

Pay attention and you will realize that it is either AI or just really REALLY lazy development. I'm leaning towards both.

bitcoin farms can be illegal if you dont abide by set regulations, but its not an uh "paramilitary death squads last stand in pavlovs house" kind of crime. And even if it was like a yuge CP database it still doesnt justify having a death squad stationed on it, two guys armed with pistols at most would have been enough

I agree on this one. Especially after finishing the first mission. They might have the missions out of order though, considering the streamer mission came way after the rest of the missions.
