Two major "bugs" in the game

[TheRoyalFlush]

BUG number 1

 

Controller issue (X 360)

 

Controller A is connected to the console for charging. Console is off.

 

When we use controller B to start console and game, controller A becomes the steering one. Very annoying, as you have to move your ass up to grab the connected one just to switch it off (or use it)...

 

 

BUG number 2

 

If Niko comes from Serbia (or that region) and his name is spelled BELIC - it should be pronounced something like BELITSCH , not Belik (with hard "k" at the end). Ask any Serb.

 

 

Besides - game is awesome

Um, disconnect Controller A then put it in as the game starts?

Still, isnt that annoying ? The idea of having two controllers and charging cable is - IMO - that while one is charging, the other one which i keep around my couch is used for starting console and playing the game.

I'd imagine it's like 10 feet away? Do you start this thing up like 10 times a day to not want to walk that 10 feet or something?

for the bellic=bellich thing, same as for IL Governor Rod Blagojevich.

Coming from Europe, the Slavic languages are relatively common in my ears, although I don't speak (one of) them... except for swearing of course the first thing to learn in foreign languages.

So, I'm a little annoyed by now, hearing the Bellic brothers mispronounce their own name.

But the majority of gamers don't know and therfore don't care. They did good research or were given good advice on all the Russian/Polish/whatsoever phrases you'll hear from peds, but it's interesting why this really important bit had been neglected, though.

People change their names when they come to the U.S. Bellich sounds too foreign, and therefore it's changed to Bellik. Stupid, but true. Also, Niko's accent isn't the best, but what the hey.

 

Kak' si!?

Amen, that's what I was thinking. They may change it to make it easier to get a job or to escape their past. I don't think this is a linguistic bug (I'm a Linguistic tester myself) as I'm convinced that R* would have had Serbian advisors who would have pointed this out. Interesting though...

Not only to U.S., but if language in other country is different, the name is often changed to similar one. My friend is Russian and his name is Pyotr (Petya for short), Lithuanians call him Pyatras, while he was working in England for summer they just called him Peter.

Can you imagine the amount of stigma Niko would get if his last name sounded like Bell Itch? I'd certainly think of an itchy bell-end anyway, I'm sure a lot of you would.
