Horrible English in games (All your base are belong to us!)

Those screenshots literally made me cringe ...
What do they even mean when they say "hays?" O.o

I haven't played the game, so there's no context LOL.

"Here the global pokholodneniye has begun."

Oh no, not the pokholodneniye! Don't worry, I have included a beacon!

i somewhat have a feeling that these folks used google translator or simply couldnt be bothered to do a basic spellcheck.

i mean im no native english speaker either but at least Im somewhat aware of basic grammar.

Pokholodneniye is 2k16s hottest word.

Resident Evil: Pokholodneniye
Dead Rising Pokholodneniye
Mutant Pokholodneniye
Let the pokholodneniye begin!

Tried to google 'pokholodneniye', came back to this thread. Wut?!

Maybe it's kind of a spiritual successor to Zero Wing as the title suggests. You shipwrecked with your Zig while fighting for Great Justice, and you are stranded on a frozen planet. You need to find all your base and make them belong to you again. Then the final boss Pokholodneniye set up us the bomb and you need to defuse it.

I shouldnt be reading these comments here at work. Its hard to keep the coffee inside my mouth. lol

The global pokholodneniye is so terrifying, that even panic itself is horrified.

Also, at least it's not Vietnamese Pokemon.

Not quite what this thread is about, but it's very English, and kind of horrible, in a good way.

just another Russian game :D

They are just following a long tradition...

lol, thank you for mentioning the All your base meme
I know this quote for a long time, but not from Zero Wing, but from Earth 2150, it was a cheat code. I don't know what it did (probably something near the original meaning of the phrase), because probably I have never used it ;P
I remember it only because it was ... well, so broken ;)

Me dont now what you says, that watching good

I mean, who in their right mind decides to write "Sheng Long" when the correct English is "Dragon Fist" ?
To name just one more infamous example....

Google Translate? Naa.. Thats just what High School English gets you these days.

It's going to happen, and for me to do something wrong, do not, may not be easy, as very encouraging.

Nope, it wasn't Google Translate =)

Instead of unintentionally terribad translation, I highly recommend intentionally terribad 'translation'! :P

Yeah, it's not really a "translation" per se...but it's intentionally a homage to the old Japanese titles with glorious translations...so much that someone actually complained about it...I thought it was brilliant! ;)

ETA: Red Lake's storepage also comes to mind

"This guy are sick." is still my favorite one. I was extremely disappointed to find out it was fixed in the PC version. And even though it is highly unlikely, I really hope they include that error in the remake as an Easter egg. It was gold.

Visual novels, all of them -_- Phoenix Drive (NSFW) is a fucking classic. There's less straight-up machine translated Japanese nowadays, but too many English developers releasing games that are entirely based on reading that look like they were proofread by a drunken turtle.

"Now that our game has been released, we can think about working on actually translating-(click)"

Yeah, poor translation completely ruins a game for me :s If they want to sell their game, they should have really have hired someone to check the writing.
