>>729647386
Depends. If there's a full dub, I often do, but I really dislike it where there's a difference between the dubbing and the subtitles / written UI elements.
>>
>>729647386
I tend to play them in their native language. Korean for Stellar Blade, Japanese for Rise of the Ronin, French for Clair Obscur...

Pretty much only if they were made in my language, it matches the setting and optionally if I play something for the sake of nostalgia, which I played in Polish as a kid. Example: I play Witcher games in Polish, but not Cyberpunk.
Otherwise, I tend to go for audio that matches the setting, and eng subs, unless the setting audio feels like it was an afterthought, like with KCD, where the primary voice acting was in English.

>I play Witcher games in Polish, but not Cyberpunk
I think Cyberpunk is genuinely better in Polish. Male V and Silverhand just sound much better than their English counterparts. Takemura too, unless for some reason you enjoy this bizarro forced fake jap accent he puts on in the English version.

Hearing Polish as the main language there just feels odd. Maybe if we played like a Misty's brother or something, it'd make sense.
I tried Polyglot/Cosmopolitan mods, and that'd be nice, but they were a bit buggy.

The last time I played a game in russian was in 2020 and I've hated the majority of the localization crews in the country ever since.

I've watched this one yt video recently where the author was jumping through hoops trying to convince himself that the XD emoticon is massively popular in Poland while the rest of the world moved on. Nobody uses it here except ironically and it's being frowned upon.
>>
>>729647386
No my language is too small to get regular translations and the translation are often bad or at the very least awkward (I could translate it better, unironically)
And it makes it a bitch to look up things on the wiki because, again, the translation isn’t literal and often isn’t intuitive either
>>
Barely anything is translated to Hungarian so no
And english is way too easy to learn
>>
>>729647386
Generally no but I remember Dungeon Keeper had translations for various European languages. The Swedish narrator was just as good as the English one.
>>
>>729653518
Nope. Every single first party Nintendo game is done based on the japanese translation
>>
>>729647386
I don't remember seeing a game have Finnish as an option since the early Harry Potter games.

I don't even use my OS in my own language, because tech language is so clunky in non-EN. And stuff is generally harder to google.
The global lingua franca is English, and you best be using it.

Game takes place in America tho, so that makes little sense, maybe japanese dub would work for cyberpunk but not polish because it's not poland or based on poland

>>729647386
It's a massive artfag opinion but I do believe you should generally try to experience things in as close to the original/intended form as possible, so the answer is absolutely not.
>>
>>729654569
I'll take the bait.
EOPs like you will never experience having a singular, isolated culture attached to their language.
English language have many different cultures and every piece of foreign media localized to Californian English specifically. You are forever cursed to experience 80% of the games/movies/novels through the lens of blue haired 200 kg (or 440 punds, for metrically challenged people) failed tranny writers.
English is basically a raped language used by everyone. It has no singular identity. It has no singular heritage. It's function in a modern world is a social glue to connect different cultures, while a culture of its own becomes mocked, muddled and forgotten.

Not really, it's usually not relevant or good. The only games I've played in my native language are Blasphemous 1 and 2
>>
>>729654434
this, also translations are inherently inferior so if you understand the original language it's dumb to use anything else
>>
>>729653698
>I don't play it anymore
Good. Less Belletroons on the game, the better
>>
Very rarely, the classics like Planescape: Torment, Gothic and Diablo 2 have fantastic Polish dubs so I keep those in. Otherwise, it's English text + whatever spoken language fits best for the game (French for E33, English for CP77, Italian for AC2, etc)
>>729647623
Exquisite
>>
>>729647386
No, because 20 years of being an ESL literally made me cringe at everything trying to be translated in my home language.

It's like doujins, I can read english translations about a girl wanting her gaping vagina filled with tentacles because it's so good all days long. It doesn't really impact me. If I read the same sentence in my native language, it would sound so corny.

English is the language of faggot, niggers and porn. And video game. My native language isn't for any of this.
