    Did we?

    So this itsy tiny company, called CD Project. You know what they started as? Locolisation for the Polish market because there was no standards. That’s their claim to fame before ever starting on a game themselves.

    Your comment has to be an anecdotal. Because games lived and died by localisations. Game like Gothic is legendary in Europe but the English version was quite lack luster and even though the games were vastly superior to elder scrolls, they couldn’t penetrate.

      Someone set us up the bomb.

      Yeah. We laughed real hard at shitty localizations and ad even loved the games still.

        Zero Wing is quite a hard game to love, tho. That phenomenal opening is followed up by a very mid Gradius knock-off. I’d probably have chosen Symphony Of The Night as the best game with an awful translation - voice acted by native speakers, too.
