I'm American and find this to be a little strange. I don't like nitpicking, but I wonder why theyou didn't get voice actors from the countries the levels take place in.
shareI know - it's peculiar and they're getting away with it at the moment because people bought the whole game in advance so critics reviews have less harm upon them.
shareI just tell myself in my head that theres lots of tourists or that agent 47 can understand the local language and it just sounds American to us because of how a foreign language would sound to someone that is fluent. Like, you wouldn't hear an accent. For example, I live in Japan and speak Japanese, but I'm American. When I hear Americans speak English it sounds normal to me and when I hear Japanese people speak Japanese, it sounds normal like there is no accent. In contrast, a Japanese speaking English you would hear an accent and I'm sure when they hear me speak Japanese, they hear an accent because I don't say words the same as they do. Hope that makes sense.
shareI see what you mean. I'm just so used to the old games before Absolution where you would hear conversations in the native language. The npcs' reactions are a lot funnier now. I guess they did all of this to do something different.
shareYeah, it bugged me a little at first, but then as time went on, I dont mind it now. Like you said, their reactions are funnier now. So I'm totally cool with it.
