Right, this not really a complain/whine - it's more kind of a question.
Why would anyone wanna play a game in their native language when the "original" game was made in English?
I know not everyone can handle the English language - but its a good way to learn it by playing English games.


shitloads of new stuff in my pc. Cant keep track of it all.

Old people can't study a new language easily. (That will explain why movies voice audio is changed)
As for PC games, some people don't want to study English or English is too hard for them to study. (Either because they don't have time for that, because they are uneducated or because they have an ideological problem with English Razz)

Language is a very contentious issue with a lot of pride involved. Countries like France and Germany feel very insulted when asked to use english and see it as a sign of subservience. They go to the extreme lengths of inventing new words to replace english words in their language. Very Happy

I hate any dubbing in Games, TV and Movies. Unfortunately Germany dub's ALL of them Sad. In Sweden all is subtitled, I think its a great way to pick up a language etc. The original intention/feeling of the role/character gets totally lost most of the time when a film or game is dubbed.

*images Al Pacino speaking german with the voice from a 50 year old bum...* Rolling Eyes Laughing

No thanks. I'll take the real deal, anytime, anywhere - same goes for any non-english movies I watch... french, german, russian, chinese, whatever. All the time in their original language.

Fuck dubbing to hell.

My English skills primarily comes from playing videogames at an early age, and watching alot of subtitled movies.. I had top grades in my English classes at school, wich im thanking videogames for Smile

It kinda annoys me that Germans dub pretty much everything.. I honestly think that if they completely stopped doing that, their english-speaking skills would improve in general.
