Telltale Games

McMasters · 04/28/2012, 05:12 am

Is Telltale based in a non-English country, and then has the game translated? Every release has spelling mistakes - catch-the-first-time-playing-through spelling mistakes.

In this one, it is apostrophes in plurals. "all of the Dad's in here", etc.

Do they have someone doing this sort of check? Every volume of their past two games had at least one error on the main path. This makes 11 in a row.

I also spotted an it's - its mistake. Yet overall, there really are less mistakes than in the usual Telltale publication.

Lucasarts has done that too -- it sort of ruins the main villainess' entrance in LOOM when the subtitle reads, "I am Choas."

It seems that NO gaming company can afford decent quality assurance..

Episode two clearly had more nuisances than the first. The ones below are just those I took a screenshot of fast enough. The real problem is that they're not just "typos". These aren't accidental mistakes, they seem to be connected to a lack of knowledge regarding written language conventions. Telltale still needs more man- or womenpower in this field. Damn, I'd even volunteer, but THAT level of language proficiency is still out of my reach.

Who cares? The gameplay and story is ace so I can get over some spelling/grammer mistakes.

Nah. This needs to be resolved.

It costs a lot of money to update games on the 36o and possibly the others its just not worth it.

SuperSam · 06/30/2012, 03:25 am

Maybe they're using a talk to text program, which is a) downright lazy & b) pretty silly for a major release. Come on guys, fix the subs!

I just finished playing through episode 2. I will not spoil it, so I will just post the screenshot. The sign behind Kennys head has a typo. Is this an accurate copy of a real sign that has the typo, or did the artists get it wrong?

EDIT: Changed the image into a link because it's very huge

Do not stack higher.
Then, this line.

ZeroNow · 07/16/2012, 12:38 pm

So it's a clever Meta sign?

Bearcules · 07/16/2012, 12:44 pm

I never even noticed a sign in the back before. I'm impressed you saw it.

thestalkinghead · 07/16/2012, 01:08 pm

The sign says "Do not stack higher then this line". It shouldn't be 'then', it should be 'than'; "Do not stack higher than this line".

Pedantic of me to notice and point out, I know, but I am somewhat of a grammar nazi at times, being British and all.

lol, I'm English, not a grammar nazi, so i thought there must have been something more than a grammar error

*Vainamoinen* · 07/16/2012, 01:38 pm

Boooh-hoooooh. Fits right in my collection.
