Lip sync

[Dawson]

So I started a new game and the lip sync is the worst i've ever seen in any game, it puts me off playing it. I managed to drag myself through the cut scenes and got to the first area where I can choose a weapon etc. I'm just wondering did they put more effort into the gameplay?

Their mouth goes mmrgunsdfnsdnfasydfnsdanfnsdanfyasndfsdyfnbsydufsaf but they only say 'Hello'. If it were me I wouldn't even bother having cutscenes if it were that bad, it downgrades the game immediately.

Because it's the japanese voices they had in mind when doing cutscenes.
Since this is a japanese game, japanese voices are top priority.

You would have thought they would put some effort into making the English version better though. I'm not saying it needs to be perfect but it felt like a joke when I was watching the cut scenes. Is the gameplay any better?

EDIT: Apparently the Lip Sync is bad even in Japanese.

Japanese is a difficult language to translate, it's so different to English. Most often it is a case of trying to put the it in a form that sounds more like something that would be said by English people rather than a precise word for word translation.

[!?!]

There is no lipsync, just them eating the air.

The closest it is synced to is monster hunter language. The sync isn't perfect with that either though.

To be fair the introductory cutscenes are just busted, i don't know if it's the PC versions or what, but regardless of anything those are broken.

Yeah, it made me think the rest of the game will be ♥♥♥♥ if the start has that little effort put into it. I don't mind the lip syncing being bad, alot of games are like that. But usually developers are smart and they use camera angles that hide their mouths or shorten the dialogue. But for the first 40mins in this game it zoomed into their faces, the voice acting was pretty terrible too. I didn't want to waste any more time on it, but can anyone tell me if the gameplay is just as ♥♥♥♥ please? If so i'll just uninstall now and play something else :) thanks

the gameplay is one of a kind, very unique.
But with your current attitude towards this game, I don't think you''ll like it very much.
You're better off playing something else tbh.

Agreed, if you can't help yourself but insist that we jerk off the game in front of you to assuage your annoyance at something like lip syncing, I think you're likely to pitch a fit when you find out about monster roars. Best to refund it now.

Just so everyone knows, the lip sync doesn't match any language.

I watched a stream where 3 guys were playing together; 1 was on English, 1 was on Japanese, and 1 was on Monster Hunter language.

They all said that the lip sync didn't match up for any of them.

I didn't understand anything you said sorry. Also I got the game free with a graphics card so can't refund =(

[Corrodias]

Simpler terms: if you are disappointed by this, other things in the game will disappoint you far more. Good to know it was free, though. Now you haven't lost anything. I'm not aware of any games that deliberately hide the characters' faces when they're speaking.

The lip sync is based off of Wyvernian, the in-lore language

A streamer I watched who played the game with 2 other friends found that the lip-sync doesn't match the Monster Hunter language either.
