Gaming Help! Assassins Creed Odyssey PS4 UK Version Question.

[rcoobc]

I have a real specific question about the UK Verson of Assassins Creed Odyssey on PS4

Are you able to change the language setting to french? It will come default as English only but it might allow you to download additional languages. But those languages might not be available in all regions.

Just buy the French version.

 

[rcoobc]

Just buy the French version.

It's like £20 more.

Or £10 more

 

[Sara125]

I have it but I haven’t played it in a while and I don’t remember seeing an option to change the language

 

[rcoobc]

So I've bought this because I think it should be possible. We'll see.

That image might be for PC versions. Often on Steam if you change the language settings then it downloads games with that language setting.

PS4 is probably whatever is on the disc.

We'll see. The Witcher 3 has a really annoying situation. French is available on the standard addition but not the GOTY

If not I'll try to send it back

 

[Ubik]

You can download it from the menu as an add-on, 2.2gig. Haven't tried it but at that size it should be the whole thing.

Why does it have to be in French ?

 

[Mr Pigeon]

Playing games in French to learn French is quite a good idea, but it would be a lot easier if you just ate a kilogramme of garlic and wore no socks for three months.

 

[Hoof the ball]

Playing in foreign languages is great for immersion. I remember playing through AC: Unity (French Revolution) and found the high British accents really jarring. Switched the French with subs and it was a lot better. I do the same for Pro Evo Soccer. If I'm playing in a foreign league I'll switch to that respective language for immersion purposes.

In answer to your question

Ubisoft help

And hid the missus' razor...

 

[Mr Pigeon]

And hid the missus' razor...

I dated a French girl for a while. She used to talk dirty in French during sexy times. She also didn't believe in wearing clothes around the house if she wasn't going outside.

I've forgotten where I was going with my point. Probably something to do with surrendering to the Germans but feck knows now.

Doesn't work. Just comes up with the option to download Russian 2.1gig. Feck sake

Learn Russian instead

 

[rcoobc]

cant be dealing with that. It's going back to Amazon

That's bizarre. Obviously Putin's been at your account.

 

[rcoobc]

are you UK and do you have it on PS4? Does it show on yours?

 

[Ubik]

Yup, in the settings on the main menu, French was there (with a cloud download symbol) and it then goes to the store to download it. As of last night.

I have seen someone on Amazon France complain about this when sent the wrong version.

I can't believe that. Thanks for looking for me. You went to all that effort and it still doesn't work.

 

[Redlambs]

So did you order it from Amazon?

If so, people need to be very aware that there's so much fake shit on there posing as real (even through prime), but it's hard to tell because Amazon hide it.

Yeah. I've sent it back.

Instead, I've downloaded Witcher 3 on US PSN and going to play that in french.

It sucks, but a hell of a lot on Amazon is fake. Always read through the reviews mate.

Witcher is more wordy anyway, and a better game

It's not fake, it's just Ubisoft don't explain what languages come with which version

French should be available? But maybe not.

It's a similar but different problem with Witcher 3. French is available on standard edition but not GOTY (in the UK?)

 

[Dante]

It's available in the US version:


Ask on Reddit about the UK version.

I did. Feckers didn't answer me.

Will just get the US version but I'm playing Witcher 3 now which is probably a better game to learn French anyway.

 

[Zarlak]

Once you've finished Witcher 3 pick up Odyssey again, it's a better game and well worth it.

 

[DWelbz19]

Odyssey is absolutely not better than The Witcher 3 but it’s a decent enough game to pass time.

 

[Ubik]

It's a very fun game, and totally ridiculous. Picked up Origins afterwards after enjoying it so much and got thoroughly bored after finding the pyramids.

Robo - sucks that this didn't work for you. You can currently get the deluxe edition on the PS store for £22 which you'd think would include multi language support, if that's appealing to you. It's bizarre that different discs limits the choices of languages available anyway, given they're all stored online.

 

[Zarlak]

It's infinitely better. The Witcher has a better storyline, but all other aspects of gameplay are superior from movement and the ability to traverse/scale objects and buildings, to map size, to graphics, to the gorgeous open world and the sandbox nature which Witcher 3 lacks - on top of the combat/controls. There is an element of overratedness to The Witcher 3 which is one of the biggest circle jerks around because it changed the landscape when it arrived that tints peoples views. Though it's still a great game.

Infinitely better? Take it easy there. I like AC Odyssey a fair bit and it definitely does some stuff better than TW3 but the main quest and side quests pale in comparison. I found that to be a significant detractor.

Like I said, TW3 has the better story but the rest of it is what predominantly makes you feel good/bad about playing a game over hundreds of hours. The story alone doesn't make up for all the other factors imo. If you played TW3 and AC:O back to back you'd feel an enormous difference rather than relying on the tinted memory of how great TW3 was at the time which most people tend to do when reminiscing about TW3.
