Recommend me a GOOD game with lots of talking in it!
Over the past year, I have been using computer games to great effect in my german learning efforts.
The games that I have been using have been all the Gothic games and I have just completed Risen (auf Deutsch naturlich). All these games are great for language learning in that there is lots of spoken dialouge, with subtitles, and the games themselves are hugely immersive and enjoyable (even G3 with the 1.73 CP patch was a pretty solid game). Combining learning with having lots of fun seems to me to be the only sensible way to learn a language (an otherwise boring as hell process), therefore, I am on the look-out for other good games with lots of spoken dialogue in them. The following games are defo off the list, as they are boring as hell (and own retails copies of two of them already...unfortunately): Mass Effect Oblivion Far Cry 2 And of course RPG's like STALKER are no good because all the communication is written, as oppossed to being voice acted.

The Witcher. It has a LOT of spoken dialogue.

Hmm....That is from the makers of Oblivion is it not? Same developers = same style (which I don't like)?
Have you played Dragon Age? Is the game defo centred around lots of spoken dialogue? Is it a great game (in your opinion, not the hyper opinion of the media)? THX! Consoles are no good for language learning as I have no way of taking screenshots to read trough the subtitles and translate....... .....and I would have to put up with sub 25FPS, low scaled up resolutions, and V-sync going awol all over the shop. Not my cup of tea __________________ Last edited by MatTheCat; Apr 22, 2010 at 11:52 PM. |

IMO, Dragon Age:Origins is a great game. It's the best RPG to come out in a loooong time.

Dragon Age: Origins
Dragon Age: Awakening Mass Effect Mass Effect 2 The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Fallout 3 The Witcher: Enhanced Edition Those are the ones I know of with the most dialog. Of that list, Witcher is probably the best. There's one portion of the game where all you do is run around talking to people. XD Dragon Age (both of them) have a lot of dialog but I didn't care for the gameplay.

In Bioshock and Bioshock 2 there are a lot of talking with all the tapes you have to pick up and listen as well as various people in the game that you get to hear.

![]() maybe try GTA IV or Saints Row 2 in German? theyre more action orientated, AND feature a lot of mostly easy understandable text... not that they wouldnt talk much, but most times you can see what their up to, due to their behavior. I dont like Saints Row 2´s graphics tho, they are a little too PS2-like, in my opinion . if GTA IV runs for you, i would suggest you that... if that game wasnt so severely bugged for me, i would game it myself also atm

I'll mention Final Fantasy 13, although the main story isn't too hard to follow, the background lore is a bitch. Yes it has subtitles etc.

Hell from what I see you pretty much have every game there is to choose from within your guidelines.. Just listening to German is going to make it hard to learn. If your using a translated text to understand what your seeing, then the text may not actually be in the order you heard it in German.
IE: the first word you see, could actually be the last word you heard. Have you done this with other languages? Good luck to ya ^^.
