Random subtitle appearing?
« on: January 25, 2016, 08:56:14 PM »
Anyone else had subtitles appearing randomly for dialogue that is not scripted and said during free roam?

Today I was just enjoying watching Russell facing the preps until he said "Slow down so Russell can smash you!", and it appeared on a subtitle. I was caught off guard and it disappeared before I could get a screencap, but I swear I saw it. It wasn't a mission, I was playing on a 100% save file.

I also remember seeing this happening a long time ago on the PS2. I was on Chapter 2 and returning to the boys dorm at night from a mission that involved pissing off the preps (I believe it was "The Eggs"), but on free roam. Then I run into Gord, who attacked since my prep respect was low, and his attack line appeared on subtitles (I think it was "you're going back to the poor house"). I was surprised, believing it was a scripted attack outside a mission, but this never happened again until now, which is like 5 or 6 years later. So this appears to be an extremely rare glitch.

Anyone else had random and unscripted NPC dialogue appearing on subtitles?

Hm... can't say this has ever happened to me. That's strange, but then again this game has a lot of seemingly one-off oddities.

Very rarely yes it has happened to me. Maybe it is if the audio cannot load, the subtitle just shows instead? Because when it happened to me I didn't hear them say it either.

Now that you mention it that sounds familiar... that certain text happens right after cutscenes. Now I want to test it out...

But to have text appear randomly during normal gameplay? Nuh uh.
