This would be better served if there were slightly less direct references to GTA. You can theoretically say there is a Liberty City on Super Earth, but Ryder calls the player CJ a little too often, and referring to the factions as various san andreas gangs is a bit clever but it wears thin a little fast.
A couple lines could use some work as well. There's a point where Ryder calls you a buster instead of a busta, but the text to speech emphasizes the 'R' really hard so it's like it goes 'BusteRRR' and it's awkward. That could use another 'take'.
All that said, 'Ten seconds until the Busta Express comes to pick up it's most frequent flyers' has cemented a permanent slot on my load order for this mod.
I understand your criticism of the mod, and half way through I started to get the same feeling myself. Unfortunately there are a TON of sound files for Mission Control(Many just duplications of other voice lines in a different tone) and by the time I was over it, I couldn't turn back cause it was the most grueling 6-8 hours ever of listen, generate, re-generate, copy, paste, rename, over and over and over lol.
Here is a little insight Using the best AI I could afford and the dated 2003? reference audio files I sampled, It is hard to replicate a organic sounding generation. A lot of the times Ryders voice wouldn't flow if I didn't use CJ. It would either get weird high pitched, a random Latin accent, or on occasion speak about 10 seconds of loud gibberish. Another interesting thing I found out about busta, buster, is that the raw sound files I downloaded from a GTA SA rip actually have an 'R' after some of the iconic Busta Quotes, and some don't have the 'R'. But it was hard to make the ai understand the word 'Busta' as it would generate Ryder saying a immaculate line and ending it with "BOOSTA" Or BUST-AHH" so I would have to type "BUSTR" to get it anywhere close as using the original audio to replace one word in the AI didn't sound natural for an audio novice like myself.
I apologize about it being far from perfect, it was something I made for fun and I likely wont ever touch it again, thanks for you comment :)
