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:
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.
The audio clip in that source is just flat out wrong (and I’m pretty sure it’s either AI generated or an American trying to do a British accent. Source: Am British). If you look at the phonetic symbols you’ll see that they’re identical for both pronunciations, and every other source agrees that the pronunciations are the same for UK and US.
It’s very not slow if you don’t want it to be as soon as I got a bike I ignored all quests headed straight for high level areas I shouldn’t be. Looted chests until I got cutters and stuff to farm higher end ores and had a thopter in like 2 days tops. I’ve been doing deep desert stuff for ages and still have barely done any quests at all. It’s very forgiving about skipping ahead if you want to. And honestly that made me love the game a lot.

Which is correct pronunciation…

A street sign is not pronounced sin.

Jessie what the fuck are you on about?

Here’s one with audio that isn’t fucked - https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english-pronunciations/ensign
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.
