So I wanted to replay Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 today. It's a game about the D-Day landings, and features Matt Baker and his squad of paratroopers.

In the languages selection I chose German, because I wanted to practise it, and because I wanted to see how they would resolve it.

You know what happens? All the American soldiers speak German, along with all the German soldiers!

:lol:

Shenmue on the Dreamcast is the best. It made me laugh my arse off because the acting was SO bad! :lol: The sequel was Japanese with subtitles and I was so disappointed.

I think my brother played a game like that (chose english though). In one section of the game they did speak german & he wanted me to translate it. How am I supposed to do that when my german knowledge from HS (in 4 yrs.) is probably only 3-20 words if I'm lucky? Plus they spoke really fast in the game.

Because it's not meant to give you a more accurate representation, but to make it so German speaking players can understand the game.

You could probably mod the game though, depending on how mod-friendly it is.
