Is this game any fun?

[–] SacralPlexus@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (5 children)

I’ve played it for about 6 hours and so far it’s kind of meh. I’ll admit I’ve not made it to the full in deep desert with PVP and so forth so my opinion still might change. But the early game is kind of slow for my tastes and the script writing / story is just senseless video game tripe.

Also a side note is that so far the voice acting for the story stuff is pretty bad overall. My favorite so far was when you’re exploring a shipwreck and find a voice log from the crash and the speaker identifies herself as Ensign whoever. But she mispronounces ensign as “en-sine” which made me do this:

Which is correct pronunciation...

A street sign is not pronounced sin.

I think it's best at this point to call the American version American rather than English, cause it's kind of doing it's own thing, but if you call it English. The standard should be based off the English dictionary.

Well TIL, thanks for educating me.

Though it occurs to me that she was speaking with an American accent though so I’m not sure of saying she should pronounce it the British way.

They're wrong. See my comment above.
