I must say that are also major translation blunders.  We have literal translations from English to Italian, such as Vito’s Mamma saying “mio bambino” at the end of almost every stentence as a substitute for ”my child”. “Mio bambino” as it is used is not an expression an Italian would use, the meaningful translation should have been “bambino mio”.  We have also nonsense such as “Sia benedica” which actually does not mean anything, maybe they meant “Be blessed” in English?? Come on guys couldn’t you afford a native Italian proof reader??

This is not the first case in terms of bad accents. I have also seen it playing Assassin’s Creed 2 demo where Ezio is an Italian speaking its own language with an English accent. At least, from what I saw they used proper Italian sentences there…

I gather that other non English speakers which have characters that are supposedly of the some mothertongue will inevitably feel frustrated by having native English speakers faking their own accents, and even worse use blatantly incorrect or even non-sense expressions. I wonder why the gaming industry is so focused on shaders and gigs of texture to fail at the very base of competing in this global market.
