There are numerous examples of boardgames with exellent games and cool little plastic pieces (expansive to produce) but then have poorly translated rules (or even poorly written rules if the game is developed in English!)

Overgeneralization is bankrupt of common sense and reason. Of course killing hookers in Grand "Theif" Auto is not funny, and no one here claimed it was. The author is talking about odd translations or funny-sounding expressions that happen to occur in a game, nothing more. Perhaps you should check out the sister site to this one, http://www.gamerdad.com/ to have your concerns about video games addressed in a rational and informed manner. Whoa there, Captain.

Why? Something so morally bankrupt cannot be funny to anyone unless they are like-wise morally bankrupt. You probably all lthink killing hookers in Grand Theif Auto is funny too.

The distressing part is that it isn't limited to small European developers.

Yeah, I'm looking at you Capcom (and 90% of the industry, really) I’ll never understand how developers can spend millions on the engine, graphics, testing, etc., and then spend nothing on the voice acting and writing.

That is supposed to help. The forums are filled with stability issue reports yet I've not had a single crash or other issue. Have you tried the “TwoWorlds_RADEON.exe” in the program directory?

Considering it handles Oblivion fine, I find that unacceptable. :sigh: I could not get Two Worlds to run properly on my Radeon X800.
