Im asking because BF4 did not have the option to change to english language (soundwise), if you bought the game in germany. Since I speak english and german at almost the same level, it really annoys me to hear “german soldiers” speak very bad german. On the other hand, the german version of an american soldier under enemy fire often sounds fairly unconvincing and boring too. So what do you guys think would be the better option for me? Order the british import or just buy the game here in germany? ---

wouldnt an import cost you more? i mean if both versions have their faults, money saving is a factor ---

alternatively you could wait for the early release, watch some streams and purchase afterwards. you just may be 3-5 days late to the game which really isnt a big deal ---

Order the british import or just buy the game here in germany? That’s not true, of course in BF4 is option to play the game in different languages, English, German, Italian, Russian, Spanish and so on. In fact all games are multilingual, which means that they’re programed with several languages. So it doesn’t matter at all where u buy the game regarding language. And u would spent nonsensical more money for an import. I’m buying games from a different regional store to safe up to half the price and the games are all multilingual like already mentioned.

To AFROSRB. Keeping it english so everyone understands my problem. Im a so called “console-peasant” (PS4 to be exact). That option does not exist on our platform. Sorry for not pointing that out at the beginning. I really appreciate the effort. Gut zu wissen, dass es Leute gibt die helfen wollen 😉 ---
