Do you understand a word Jacob's saying?

[huevos_benedicto_180]

I remember on my first go around I needed subtitles.

Now, however, I understand him perfectly without (even though I always have subtitles). Just a case of getting used to, I suppose.

[EDMEISTERX]

In the first few missions for Jacob,I learned the Rastafarian accent.I guess it's just that I'm a fast learner...

[CJ killed Ryder]

I always need subtitles when playing GTA-games.

[Linki]

I now understand the meaning of words like "Babylon" and all that rasta talk. But I still can't get everything in his sometimes muddled sentences combined with his heavy accent.

[jlamay]

I have to have the subtitles on...but even then I still don't know what he's saying!

[GTASAIDEAMASTER]

I can't understand some sh*t he says,like dwan and stuff like that.Neverthless,I always use subtitles because they make me read faster.

Badman has an epic rasta though,it's incomprehensible.

[AlexGTAGamer]

I usually have subtitles on whenever I play GTA or any GTA game, but having them on in IV does help me understand what Little Jacob is saying, though I am starting to understand him better now without the subtitles.

[Dragonjack]

Yea... Sort of Lol

[Claude94]

When I first played the game, I had no clue what he was saying at all, and I wasn't even sure if Badman was speaking English or not. I'm better at understanding him now, but Badman's accent is still pretty thick.

[Dr. John13]

The mission Shadow was funny. Even Niko couldn't understand what Badman was saying. He was giving a Grin. I am sure Rasta means man and ting means drugs.

I can easily understand what he says without subtitles and I'm not even Jamaican!

They don't want to give me my money."

I can understand bits of what he's saying here and there. If I'm not sure, you can usually gauge what he was saying on whatever Niko's response to him is.

[PINKbubblegum]

no way in hell, like most accents ], once you have zoned in and adjusted your ears then they get easier to understand

[Allen14n]

As with any accent, I usually take a while before understanding. It's not all that hard, though.

I understood everything Niko and Roman said, even in their serb language and I understood russian language on streets, but man, Jacob is incomprehensible!

[NateShaw92]

jacob, and even badman (even during that massive speach where niko was clueless and it seemed even jacob was) are easy to understand compared to someone speaking in a thick scouse accent. NOW THEY SO NOT SOUND LIKE THEY ARE SPEAKING ENGLISH
