Voice Acting in Games
Raijin QuickfootI'm your Huckleberry YOU'RE NO DAISYRegistered User, ClubPAregular
We've reached a point in games where voice acting is more common then simple text in games. Now that there are a veritable shit ton of games with voice acting in it I propose this question...
What single character in a game do you think has the absolute worst voice acting? It can be because of tone or shoddy acting skills, or whatever.
For me, it's Marumaro from Blue Dragon. Everytime he opens his mouth in the game I want to punch him. His voice is grating and loud and obnoxious and on top of all that he always is spouting out useless stupid shit.
I actually miss entirely text based dialogue. Voice acting has gotten much better now then when it first started but there were many times I would mute the voices and read the subtitles just to save myself from horrible acting.

Actually, I think Marumaro's voice acting is fine. The character is supposed to sound loud and obnoxious and the voice acting reflects that quite well.
I was going to mention Chaos War, but I was beaten to the punch. Um, the voice at the beginning of Super Metroid was pretty awful.

It's the worst voice I've ever heard in my life and everytime he speaks I want to stab my own ears with a pencil.
That Chaos Wars vid is fucking classic. Karen is so fuckin' hiiiiiiiiiggghhhhh yoooouuu guyyyyyyssssss.
"Wow. I really can't move my body."
Boredom is not an emotion that goes with those words.
Quick somebody find some clips of Resident Evil. Also Baten Kaitos had some pretty atrocious VA.
I tried to find something on youtube, but nothing substantial came up. Seriously, though, she has the most grating voice. I actually chose the skip her comments because it annoyed me so bad. I hope she never said anything important.

I saw the topic and was going to post this exact thing. Never before have I so hated a character and their voice actor.
So much hate.

I cannot.
I cannot click any of the links in here.
My brain would start bleeding, I can feel it.
Morninglord on
(PSN: Morninglord) (Steam: Morninglord) (WiiU: Morninglord22) I like to record and toss up a lot of random gaming videos here.
...and I thought of how all those people died, and what a good death that is. That nobody can blame you for it, because everyone else died along with you, and it is the fault of none, save those who did the killing.
In games with full voice acting, silent protagonists are even more silly than in games with text dialogue. When I played Metroid Prime 3, it felt odd that Samus never spoke.
Also, it's pretty well done that the most horrible voice acting ever is the first response.

My God this. Everyone else in that game at least doesn't make your ears bleed when they talk. Seriously, it sounds like they wanted a cute bubbly voice but got ear raping instead.
About the FFX clip, watching that reminds me how much I love Yuna's theme.

Because this video being in this thread is inevitable.
Came to see this, was not disappointed.

Behold one tiny sliver of the dark horror that is Phoenix games.
There's a thread around here somewhere on them that's gold.
On the topic of bad voice acting:
"Do you know about the Wude?"
I Shenmue II, but I'll admit it's voice acting isn't that hot.
Look it up.
Any video.
That voice can kill souls

Junpei, and pretty much every character in Persona 3 with the exception of Fuuka had wonderful voice acting.
But god Fuuka.

Fuuka was bothersome in The Journey, but she's definitely a lot better in The Answer.
If you're referring Metal Wolf Chaos, then that thing is great.
Pretty much every single House of the Dead game.
"Don't come!'
Reminds me of the Resident Evil games as well, except there the speech somehow always manages to be so bad it's awesome.
"ARE YOU OKAY? BUSTA WOLF!"
"You cannot...escape....long def!"
HEY! GO KID!
Which is rather ironic, considering it was never released in America.
