If the English translation of The Neverending story can change the names of characters and made up creatures so they keep the word play Michael Ende intended, than a point and click adventure can change a charater name so that it's not sexist in another language.How can you people toss out Monkey Island when the guy is asking for similar humor? The only place you're going to come close to the Deponia series is via Sam & Max.ĭon't forget to Grab Season 1 and 2 as well: Either the translator didn't think to point out that naming the love interest Goal was a problem in English, or they were aware and the company just didn't care. At the end os the day a good translation is one that keeps the original intent of the media, while making it make sense in the new language. For example, here in England we call cigarettes something being with F that would be very offensive in America, so part of changing English media for American audiences involves either replacing the word or adding a note to explain it. It also involves changing slang that wouldn't be understood by a different culture. Pavement to sidewalk, colour to color etc. I can't believe the writing can be so bad on such a simple topic.Ģ) Part of translating something for different languages involves changing names, references, and spellings that don't make sense in the new language. That being said, another game that Daedalic released, A New Beginning is complete and utter shit. Is Breaking Bad terrible television because Walter White doesn't have a single redeeming quality to him? Is Nabokov a bad writer? I think Deponia is a case of misunderstood intentions made that much worse by the interactive nature of the genre. And it's not wrapped in the usual charm to sell it better, which hits harder as you realise that the reason you play as him is that all alternatives in this conflict are worse. It's the usual trope of a point and click adventure hero taken to its logical extreme - he is a kleptomaniac selfish asshole who will do any reprehensible act in order to achieve his goal because he thinks he is owed by the world.
I feel like the central arc theme of the whole series is that some people should never get what they want because they are incapable of change. The main character is intended to be one that nobody should sympathise with. I don't grasp why so many people love that game. The entire game is the same puzzle: Walk up the stairs. They're just all annoying, unrelatable people. Every attempt at humor was sophomoric, and it was exhausting. The entire game was like sitting around listening to 2nd graders tell booger jokes. You just go on doing things because "you can", as opposed to any storyline leading you to the next thing to focus on. The entire goal is laid out for you in the first 5 minutes, and there's never any story development beyond that. Upon finishing the game, the biggest thing I felt was relief that I could move on to a better game now. Maybe my expectations were just set too high from every adventure game list declaring it the greatest game ever, but once I actually played it, I was shocked at just how disappointingly dull of a game I found it to be. I know this is heresy in most adventure game circles, but I regret buying Day of the Tentacle. r/adventuregamestudio - Make your own adventures.r/gamesdeal - Cheap games around the net.You can join us HERE Other subreddits you might like You should consider posting to /r/LetsPlayVideos instead of here.
