A ton of typo's

[steba]

Anyone else notice this? Many of the words are misspelled and start with capital letter for no reason and it makes it just annoying to read. Here's a quote from word to word from a letter that I found in a bottle in the starting area. "Your Dreames, your Memories, and the Location of a Place once dear to you... The Observatorie." Now, I'm not native english speaker and my english isn't perfect, but I doubt that's the most correct english, unless it's intentional, in which case it's just frigging annoying. Another one I found "This word rang in my Eares, for I had heard it before. Another Memorie from a Tyme long ago." Is this intentional? Seriously? Because those mistakes don't happen just 1 or 2 times.

You're suppose to read it with french accent

[WetBread]

The modern day is in some kind of French slang and in the game there's a little bit of older english

They're pirates. Grammar isn't their strong suit.

Doubt there typo's, way to common. They have to be intentional, English wasn't the same then as it is now. Heck try and read the first section of The Silmarillion, I struggled to understand what was being said because of how different the language was to what we use today.

Just watched utube video, graphics suck, seemingly impossible fights against multi guards at once, but they they just stand there, attacks another group and then hides 5 feet away and nobody see's him run to the hiding spot. Ridiculous. Developers got lazy, just another cash grab.

Then don't get the game. I'm not sure what you're doing here.

That's the way they wrote during that time period. There was no standard of spelling for English back then. Everyone wrote what they thought was right and hoped everyone else could read it. Reminds me of people on the internet...

Well, there was an standard, but the 'common people' weren't known for being wonders when it came to writing. The nobility and higher ups in the military and in the civil administration however needed to use the standard as set by the King.
However, it feels a bit idiotic and lazy to me how Ubisoft handles the subtitles. If they wanted to go 'old', do so it in the letters between people, not in the subtitles.

But that still doesn't explain why even in the subtitles all the time some random words start with capital letter for no reason, it's not like people spoke in capital letters at that time peried :D

As I said, "I'm not native english speaker and my english isn't perfect" I expect a little more professionalism from game developers than myself :D

Lol, The Silmarillion was written between 1937 and 1954 (after the hobbit), but was rejected by the publisher which led to Tolkien to write The lord of the rings, if you mean they "way" it was written, it was written in almost the same style as a traditional copy of the old testament, which is very dry if anyone has read it... as for AC4, the way the OP has it written, I’m not too sure that is old English, could be some sort of interim ambiguous English from the Caribbean times for all I know, or maybe the devs are pulling a little "Mark Twain" and just spelling everything out slightly phonetically +^_^+

Yes, their official language is French. However the devs are fluent english speakers as well, or at least have translators who are so the errors are still inexcusible if they are errors. I feel they are not though
