Try the official foruns instead. But it would take ALOT of whining.ElyrionX said:So how likely is it that excessive whining on GAF about wanting an English version of AH would make Sony take note and do something about it?

Goldrusher said:Screenshots !
After a few missions, your sub gets upgraded with a camera. The screenshots are saved in 720p in the XMB, with the file name being the location where you took the photo and in the file details you can see which fishes are on them !
Unfortunately the latter is some kind of PS3-exclusive feature and you can't read it on a PC.
Sea of Tranquility
Sea of Melody
Sea of Calling

If you had enough of all the crazy stories and mysteries, you can try to complete the "ocean database". There are over 500 fishes and creatures to find...
Whales are easy to spot... snails not so much. Like this one right here:
Let's get a little closer. It's in the very center of the following photo:
Can't get much closer than this:

semiconscious said:just finished the main storyline, & still playing the side-missions. really impressed with how spectacular the graphics are, & how over-all well done the whole thing is (& the guy does look like cheney, & the chopped-up dialog's great ). this game, even more than afrika, really deserved a western release - in motion, it's as gorgeous as anything anyone's released this generation...
Kyleripman said:Granted I've only played an hour so far, but I think the translation is good (and certainly a lot better than babelfish or something like that). The way everyone constantly adds "well" to everything they say is pretty funny though.
The thing about this game is that while it looks good in screenshots, it looks so much better in motion. Things like the way the sun comes dappling across the ocean floor, the fish animation, and actually the music...all of that is lost in screenshots.
eXistor said:Wow, I already finished the game. I still like the game, but it's not a deep experience at all. I know I have a whole slew of fish still to discover, but even then it all feels a bit on the light side. The technical side of the game is decent enough, but again not impressive enough to be truly immersive (for instance: fish don't react to anything...at all) and the 4-sounds minigame is more annoying than anything else. I'm not gonna count the horrible (yet hilarious) translation as a downside, because the game hasn't even been released in English-speaking territories.
I don't wanna come down too hard on the game, because it really is a nice and relaxing, non-taxing game and it's pretty much unlike anything I've personally played yet. But when it comes down to it, the few hours it takes to complete the game don't really justify the 50 I payed for it. They could've done so much more with it, but I guess that would take a bigger budget.
I'm glad I have the game and I still recommend it, but I hope that when another one of these comes along there's a bit more to it. If so, I'm there.
/edit: also, I just ordered Hakuna Matata (Afrika) because I feel like playing another one of these games.

But yeah, its pretty short to get to the credits (10 hours?), but it'll let you play more afterwards and you only unlocked the game's other half that's full of side quests and possibly more fish/treasures to find. I got excited at this. The game seem to really open up when you get this far.
And yeah, I agree with another poster that the 4 sound singing is really annoying, but mind you, the initial contact is usually just one song composition for you to unlock this particular fish to make contact to again later. And when you do, you'll notice that they have these numbers from "00" - "20" which indicates their levels of songs. Each time you passed their song, they level up and the song gradually get more and more longer and complicated. Taking it from me (I'm deaf), the songs are easy til you hit somewhere in 10s and 9s. :\
I suppose its easier for those with hearing to recognize the sounds by the buttons instead of looking on screen for shapes (they go by too fast) but even then, I thought I heard that the sounds aren't exactly sounding like your own sounds so you couldn't really replicate it if you wish to memorize it.
Kyleripman said:I also just got mine and wow, this game is a serious contender for the prettiest game I've played on the PS3.
The dialogue is actually very witty and made me laugh, especially with Kemelmen (who reminds me of Dick Cheney). The way their pictures change as they talk is a nice touch.
Very happy with the game so far.
