i'm italian, but i install every friggin game in english.
it's the only reason i bother with buying the discs.
italian translations? please no.

[Domenique]

Yeah, that plan has a few holes in it (such as the fact that I don't have any friends).
Anyway, I think I'll stop whining now before you all start hating me.
Like everyone else already does.

You whine but you kinda make a point. I'm almost glad nobody bothers with translations here.

[Teneb]

The only game that was decently translated to portuguese around here was Starcraft 2. Good thing they don't bother doing that with most.



Then again, I bet the 70% tax on software has something to do with that.

what? care to explain?
you mean...if a product costs 100, a portuguese spends 170 to buy it?
really?

Brazilian actually, and yes. Most games cost around R$100, wich is around US$58,82 right now. Steam turns out to be actually cheaper around here.

[shadenight123]

man that's high of a price.
and here i thought italians with IVA at 21% were having it tough.

[Vibhor]

Oh god, Steam tells me I have to wait 5 days and 11 hours before I can play it.

Yeah, sucks to be you.

OH WAIT, I CAN'T EVEN BUY IT ON STEAM IN THIS COUNTRY.

Okay, this might come off a little rough but I would suggest that you pirate it.
This is the best justification one needs for piracy. Just to be on the safe side of law(or your morals) buy the retail(broken translation and shit) copy and let it rest on the shelf.

[postal83]

What would happen if someone bought a copy and gifted it to you?

I'm not sure, actually. I guess it might work. I sure as hell wouldn't shell out what, fifty bucks just to find out, though.

Well, I just gifted someone from Estonia a copy because they couldn't purchase it there.  The gift was redeemed and showed up in their games list.  We won't find out if it worked until 11-11-11.

If he's going to do that, let me give him a copy so that the profits don't go to the translators.

Hm, if it wasn't available for him and it works (looks good so far) then I guess we'll have found the permanent solution to all this translator bullshit.

Also, you should do a "Let's Play Games in Czech".

Wouldn't that be really boring on account of nobody being able to understand anything in it?

It would be hilarious for the first few minutes.

I hate my country now. On average we pay somewhere between $80AUD ($81USD) to $120AUD ($121USD). It's cheaper through steam but there's no ADSL in my neighborhood so for $90* a month I get enough bandwidth to download, say, a single game and play multiplayer for three hours. At 200kb/s with high ping.

*Disclaimer: $90 could get me a 300GB, high speed connection if I could get ADSL.

EDIT: Slowly beginning to regret my preorder but I remain optimistic that it will be more Fallout 3 and less Oblivion.

[Sordid]

Good god, seriously? Are those monthly rates? That's hideously expensive. Though I do remember the days of 56k modems. 5kB/s, hell yeah.

If you think Steam is cheaper for us Aussies, you should see how high the prices are jacked up compared to the US store. Skyrim is $99.99 AUD in Steam for Australians, and then $59.99 USD in the US store. That's like $35AUD for no real reason, and it sucks.
