good luck, my dear friend... German surely isnt the easiest Language out there, so you have my respect!
maybe try GTA IV
Is their a LOT of dialogue in GTA IV? From the times I have seen this game (never played it myself) it seems to be mostly running around, stealing cars, shooting people, etc.
DEUS EX, books, datacubes, logs, different questions and answers for NPC's, you name it...
played Deus EX years ago, and I was one of those who never thought all that much of it. Also in games like this, like with Bioshock and others being mentioned, the dialogue is very limited in comparison to the text. Spoken dialogue (with subtitles) is the important thing here
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.
Do you get FF13 on PC?
Play transaltions of the old classic RGP's.
Any suggestions?
I trust your judgment as I remember us agreeing often on what is good/bad about a game.
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.
I wouldn't use english subtitles with german speech. Having worked my way through a couple of german textbooks, I started using computer games to learn around 9 months ago. I got my girlfriend to bring me back the german version of Gothic 2 Gold and I would sit playing that, listening to the speech, and taking screenshots of the subtitles. I would then come out of the game (without saving) and go and translate the whole lot. When I turned the game back on, I would then go and do something else in the game in order to avoid the monotony of continuously repeating the same thing, and so on. At first it was a real hard slog, but gradually I would need to translate less and less. Furthermore, with it being computer game that I hugely enjoyed playing, I would spend hours and hours within a 'german speaking world' and never get bored or feel strained.
Jetzt, wuerde ich sagen, dass ich ein ziemlich gutes Verstaendis von Deutsche habe. Sogar so gut, dass ich mit dir auf diene Mutterssprache unterhalten koennte. Obwohl die Gespraeche ganz langweillig fuer dich waerst....Keine Frage!
Without a doubt, so long as a person is willing at least to start of with at least working through a general grammar textbook to give themselves a foundation in the language, then thier is no better method for learning a language than with a dialogue based computer game (that you really enjoy).
