Starfield is back, to play a new trick on us. And unfortunately not the most successful. Indeed, French players are angry after the arrival of the new DLC.
Three years after its release, Starfield try to hang up the wagons again. Despite a ton of ideas, the awkwardness of the proposal unfortunately left some of the public in the lurch. But Bethesda has not said its last word. The Xbox console exclusivity has just ended with the arrival of the game on PS5, a return which was accompanied by a new DLC. Except that a bad surprise awaited the French fans.
An incomprehensible absence for the new Starfield DLC
It’s a mixed return for Starfield. Beyond the fact that the PS5 version encounters problemsanother novelty has attracted the wrath of a good number of players. Indeed, the port of the game was not the only event of the week. In addition to this, Bethesda had prepared additional content, as well as a brand new DLC. However, the latter is not quite presented as it should have been.
And for good reason, what was the surprise of the players when they discovered theabsence of French dubbing on the DLC Terran Armada from Starfield. However, it was originally mentioned that it had to have an audio VF. Except that apparently there was a change along the way, without anyone being notified. False advertising allegedly due to Microsoft and Xbox.
Artificial intelligence at the heart of the problem?
Faced with this observation, the sanction of the French players was immediate. On Steam, the average French grade is “very negative” for the Starfield DLC. A return that weighs down the overall rating. And you can’t go wrong. Just take a look at the comments to see that the lack of VF is directly pointed out, as well as “ Microsoft and its absolutely pitiful pro AI policy ».
It is common knowledge that Microsoft and the world of French dubbing are in conflict. The latter is radically opposed to theartificial intelligence training thanks to the voices of the actresses. This is why several recent or upcoming Xbox games do not offer VF, such as Starfield or Forza Horizon 6. A situation that makes “ really expensive »1 a part of the public whose immersion is ruined, she says without mincing her words.
