This will never not be funny for me considering I got called out by Ocean himself and accused of being a hater when I pointed out that the game's grammar was rough and if he was serious about the Steam release he urgently needed a fluent English speaker to take a serious look at the script.
I wonder wtf do people talk about on his Discord. If even his most staunch defenders recognize this has always been an issue, do they just not point it out?!?!?! So many issues that needed ironing before the big launch and he chose to spend months sanitizing the game and kowtowing to both music license holders and Steam themselves. It's surreal.
Yeah, I should qualify that I wrote that after wading through the revised scenes in chapters 2 to 3.
My overall impression is that the highest frequency of spelling/grammatical errors in SG occur in the first release of new material; in this case the reworked parts of chapters 2 to 3.5. With past updates, these errors do to get corrected over time. That is, most do, but not everything. I recall maybe half-a-dozen spelling errors (out of hundreds and hundreds of lines of dialogue) on my last Ch 5 Beta playthrough.
Once the errors are corrected, I find the dialogues reasonably natural and articulate. It's just the problem with that damned new material... not the whole game.
Getting players to act as Beta testers is all well and good, but I was under the impression that the Steam release was so important that it would warrant extra proof reading, especially within the dialogues of the reworked chapters and added scenes.
Anyone who has done any writing of any sort in their working career would know that, in this case, you wouldn't proof read by playing the game. You'd carefully proofread the scripts, using the likes of MS Word or other writing software to highlight potential errors for investigation... and you'd continue proofreading until no more errors appear.
