In-game Korean words are hilarious XD

Sure, Korean letters may seem authentic enough to be used as a backdrop in Cyberpunk themes, but coupled with limited budget and developer negligence this is just silly

There are a lot of Korean words in the neon ads and signs which one of them I believe are supposed to mean Live Forever but is written in English equivalent, "eternally life" and some others I have no friggin' clue what it's supposed to be lol. I betcha a million ucreds every one of them were google translated lol.

It does makes me wonder whether other Chinese or Japanese words used as backdrops in other Western developed futuristic games are all gibberish as well. Well, the immersion break is unnerving but I think this is too trivial for the devs to ever warrant a fix - gotta take care of other glaring bugs first!

They do that too in real life. But in their case they don't bother to search what it means because they print whatever they can on shirts.

As for doing it in games? Probably not.
