Kotaku Saturday, September 2, 2023 12:00 PM  Baldur's Gate 3 is an excellent game. The PC version of Larian Studios' D&D epic will easily be a frontrunner in game of the year discussions come December, and the PlayStation 5 version is a comparable experience, at least if you don't have a beefy enough PC to run the game well. That said, it definitely has more… |
Kotaku Saturday, September 2, 2023 10:30 AM  Physical confrontation, financial responsibility, emotional insecurities–these are things I run away from in life. So why wouldn't I default to role-playing as the coward that I am in Bethesda's latest epic, Starfield? Unfortunately, space doesn't seem all that welcoming to conflict-avoidant people, as Starfield… |

PCGamesN Saturday, September 2, 2023 11:10 AM  Starfield has a lot of content, so much that you'll get lost in the hundreds of hours of Starfield missions and quests quite easily; I know I have. One side quest has stood out to me so far though after I decided to do it on a whim, and it looks like loads of early access players, who paid more to play before the Starfield release date, agree. It's the Bethesda RPG game's equivalent of Batman, and it has some stellar rewards.

This early game quest mostly takes place in The Well, which is the suburb of New Atlantis underneath the main city. It's what the foundations of New Atlantis were built upon but while the middle and upper classes continued to flourish up top, those with lower incomes were stuck down below.

Todd Howard claims that the studio's new skill system "combines the best" from Bethesda's previous games, and we're inclined to agree.

Many Starfield factions live in the Settled Systems, all with wildly different ideologies, areas of expertise, and fashion sense. While this upcoming space game will likely play into the fear of the unknown that's synonymous with the inky black expanse of the cosmos, it's still your fellow humans who pose the greatest threat to your survival.

If there is one hilarious discourse that appeared prior to the early access launch of Starfield, it was the one about its UI. More specifically, the title screen of the game. The massive space RPG has a rather simplistic start screen, showing the name, a planet, and your various menu options on the left. But what if I told you the start screen in Starfield isn't the problem? In fact, I would argue that the Starfield start screen is fun, simple, and attractive in its own way, despite certain developer opinions. While I immediately noticed how subtle it is when I first booted up the game, it by no means bothered me. However, there are other parts of the Starfield UI, which are arguably much more problematic. [caption id="attachment_981591" align="aligncenter" width="1200"] Starfield's Font and Menus are the True UI IssuesFor one, the font size in Starfield is horrific. The actual font style isn't great on its own, but the font size is the true culprit here. Sure, there is a way to increase the font size for the menus in the settings, but this only affects the actual menus for some reason. There is no way to increase the font subtitles for things like conversations and dialogue further from my experience, which is a shame since the menu text has this option. It resulted in me often playing the game through remote play on my tablet or sitting up close to my TV, even with my prescription glasses on. If that isn't enough, the general menus in Starfield are frustrating to deal with. They are quite bland, and traversing the menus is troublesome. I often had issues figuring out which item category I was browsing at the moment due to how the sections stack on one another. I would have to back out, make sure I was in the right spot where boost packs are versus the helmets and so on. To make matters worse, some items are classified in truly bizarre manner. For instance, you have Digipicks, the items you use to pick locks and computers, in the miscellaneous section where mostly junk is found. This is a problem when you can accidentally sell Digipicks quite easily to sellers when trying to get rid of junk. This was the only item there that I would often accidentally sell, so it would have made more sense in a place like resources where all of the items are generally valuable. It isn't to say I didn't enjoy my time with Starfield. On the contrary, it is one of the best RPGs in the past decade. But it could have been much smoother and more entertaining with some key UI improvements and more accessibility options in general. After all, the Starfield start screen isn't the issue. Starfield is available for the Xbox Series X and PC. The post Starfield's Biggest UI Problem Isn't the Start Screen appeared first on Siliconera. |

Picture this: you're sitting at your desk, trying to force your brain to figure out what the heck a "reduced relative clause" is all the while your sibling is watching the latest Jujutsu Kaisen episode in the next room having the time of their life. This is why products like The Jujutsu Kaisen English Learning Book appear in Japan. When it comes to English-learning materials, it seems like Japan has been trying to incorporate as much pop-culture as possible to help inspire their youth to further their studies. (For example, there's a Hololive English textbook.) The latest attempt is a book using Jujutsu Kaisen materials. Now, instead of learning about modal verbs (whatever that is), you can learn the proper way to pronounce "Divergent Fist." I'll be honest, when I first bought the Learn English with Jujutsu Kaisen book, I was skeptical. It's hard to imagine there being any useful information for English learners to be gleamed from learning the sound effects "crackle, crackle, crackle." While the book does cover some random things that the average English learner would likely never use, it seem like it would do a lot of good. [caption id="attachment_981222" align="alignnone" width="1200"] While I don't typically approve of using things like anime or manga to learn a foreign language, I can't help but admit that this book does a good job of teaching pronunciation. From Todo's "Boogie Woogie" to Megumi's "Ten Shadows Techniques," the book does a surprisingly good job at teaching its readers the correct pronunciation of the sorcerers' cursed techniques. One of the things that anyone learning a new language usually struggles with is where to put the stress on a word. It's a difficult part of language learning that even longtime learners struggle with. Learn English with this Jujutsu Kaisen book gives the readers the name of the cursed technique in English, along with the pronunciation in Japanese with the parts of the word that are stressed in bold lettering. For example, Nobara's technique of "Straw Doll Technique: Hairpin" would be "StRAw Doll TechNIque: HAirpin". This helps the readers get a feeling for how words are stressed in spoken English. Thought it isn't a great replacement for a good teacher, it isn't bad. The book also gives 1-to-1 translations of pages in the book. This is, unfortunately, my least favorite part of The Jujutsu Kaisen English Learning Book. Rather than give 1-to-1 word meanings, they go for phrases. In my mind, it is more beneficial to give a word-to-word translation, and then show the readers why you decided to translate something one way to convey meaning in the target language. In this case, we have entire phrases the learners have to look up themselves. Perhaps my favorite part of the book lies on the "Tip" pages. These pages have random tidbits of information that are actually quite useful for learners. My favorite is probably the first one in the book. It goes over "spoken" English. It focuses on shortening words like "want to" to "wanna" and "got to" to "gotta." This is something that I've seen, as a learner of a foreign language, that people who study at school lack. It's rare that a school would ever test you on these sorts of things, so people rarely get a chance to learn it. But these are the types of things that extra-curricular learning materials, such as Learn English with Jujutsu Kaisen are great for. While, for obvious reasons, I doubt it will get an English translation. I do think this The Jujutsu Kaisen English Learning Book proves that the Japanese-learning crowd could benefit from an in-depth Japanese-learning book built around a popular manga. However, I would only recommend that type of material for intermediate to advanced learners. The Jujutsu Kaisen English Learning Book is available in Japan.
