Death Smiles: Countdown to North America Invasion

[ubersaurus]

I rather like the translation; reminds me of the Shikigami ones, and honestly? Half the fun of the game were the hilariously bad english cutscenes. I have friends who bought and enjoyed the games largely because of those!

Shooter cutscenes don't have to be War & Peace here, they just have to be entertaining breaks between stages. Goony accents, whatever, as long as the game plays good.

stories in videogames are mostly boring (there's always exceptions)

Loli's flying around and shooting shit

really, what kind of a story do you need?

Maybe I'm accustomed to Neo Geo games where the translations are always mangled.

[GaijinPunch]

I like the method of story telling in their old style games: no cut scenes. Kind of let your imagination go wild.

I'd say that not all games need stories in the first place. But if you are going to be putting a story in the game I want it to be competently told, because once the story's in there I care what it is.

There is so little dialogue in this game...this argument is insane.

I made a Skype call to a podcast show this evening about DS and tried to draw attention to the bad localization. They barely noticed at all. So perhaps this won't be an issue to people who haven't played the Japanese version.

I don't think anyone outside this thread gives a fly and fuck. This is no bad localization. Mobile Light Force is bad. This is just localization.

[Kollision]

IMHO this is by far the most stupid argument I've ever seen since I registered here.

[antares]

BTW, do we confirmation on what the final secret achievement in MBL 1.1 happens to be?

It's 1CCing the game with all stages on rank 999.

[wariomona]

I don't care about the translation. What I'm hating is that it is region locked to US only!!
(I just bought my PAL 360 last week not knowing this...)

[howmuchkeefe]

At least they didn't make one of the loli witches a sassy black girl from a bad part of Baltimore.

The shit has been shot and the pooch has been screwed, so to speak.

Oooohhhhh maaaannnn that would RULE!

Deathsmiles 3: ghetto booty

It can be all hip hop flava with bboys, djs, graffiti everywhere, and demon pimps, etc.

I'll start some concept art to send to Cave asap

[jonny5]

this is too funny

when i played the japanese version i skipped any and all text...not because it was kanji, but because i honestly couldnt give 2 shits what they are saying....

you fags got a port, localized so you kids without ntsc-j 360's can play(and it even includes stuff you had to pay for with the original japanese release).....shut up and play!!!

oh noez...the text dialogue has silly accents....it reads funny.....idiots

Started a Facebook group for those who don't give a shit: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=135885553092426

[CptRansom]

I'm going to join just because it's NOT the most ridiculous page I've ever seen on Facebook. It's pretty damned close though.

Well, count me in as one of the bitches who bitched but shouldn't have bitched so I will join the ridiculous group as well too, although facebook in itself is rather ridiculous.

[Aru-san]

Count me in this anti-bitchfest. I also just preordered Death Smiles a few days ago.

[Skyline]

The anti-bitching has gotten as equally annoying as the bitching, methinks :I

[CptRansom]

So has the bitching about the anti-bitching being just as annoying as the bitching. Let all the bitching come to an end until we have this bitch of a localization in our collective bitch-hands; then I'm sure we'll all have a lot of other things to bitch about besides the awkward dialect they gave some loli bitches in a shmup.

[Skyline]

bitches in heat with sand in their cunts

The anti-bitching is certainly more prolific. When was the last just bitching post.

You bitch! Well said.

So should we assume that since the NA version has a unique Live server ID that it will have segregated leaderboards just like RFA?

[TaygetaVendetta]

I've yet to play a game that has had multiple versions/IDs and has shared leaderboards, so I think it'd be a safe assumption. If it did share leaderboards across the JP and NA IDs, it would be the first 360 game to do so.

A handful of JP players will get the NA version and overrun the leaderboards anyhow.

I'd say that's pretty much guaranteed. We should know for sure next Tuesday.

I haven't looked in awhile, but I'm pretty sure this didn't happen for RFA. At one point the top 7 on every board could be traced back to here or TNL.

Well, with DS reverse importing is to be expected, but chances are that it'll mostly be from the collector crowd.

[TaygetaVendetta]

The Japanese version of Death Smiles has been updated to 1500, adding the new MBL 1.1 achievements.

I've yet to boot mine up, but I see people on Mygamercard.net already have some of the new achievements so I'm assuming they're working correctly.
