Serpentine Cougar Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Lol, seriously? That's the first time I hear that. Well, not all the characters; mainly Tidus and sometimes Yuna. They just sound rather fake to me.
Astor Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Call of Juarez - Reverend Ray. The meanest SOB in the west. With a bible.
Darth_Yuthura Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Yuthura Ban - Tamera Phillips. Beautiful actress, but rarely seen. Love the voice talent.
Ascendant_Justice Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 This is one of the reasons my enthusiasm for this game falls every time it rises. I have been wanting to replay Oblivion for some time now, but the flaws are just too numerous. I just can't do it. Same here. I do find myself wanting to play Oblivion every once in a while, but then after a couple days, I realize just how inferior it is to Morrowind despite the improvements it has, and I just put it right back down. Playing Oblivion is practically impossible to me after seeing all the amazing mods that are available for the PC version anyway. Whenever I'm out in the wilderness and I look next to me and see that swath of pea soup in the distance, I think to myself, "If I had the PC version, I could fix that......," as a tear rolls down my face. It's quite tragic. I also can't get over how there are no lights on in cities at night. It annoys me to no end. It's just unbearable for me to walk around a city like Skingrad and see nothing but complete darkness all night. Again, If I had the PC version, I could fix that. Most definitely Animal Crossing. I've never heard such realistic voices in my life. This is true.
Ctrl Alt Del Posted August 31, 2008 Author Posted August 31, 2008 I'd also add God of War to the list. Not because of the dub as a whole (which is pretty regular, actually), but because of the show that is the acting of Kratos and the Narrator/Gaia. I also can't get over how there are no lights on in cities at night. It annoys me to no end. It's just unbearable for me to walk around a city like Skingrad and see nothing but complete darkness all night. Again, If I had the PC version, I could fix that. Isn't there? Never noticed. Well, I always use my vampiric vision at night, anyway.
Corinthian Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 Quest for Glory IV: Shadows of Darkness. The narrator alone (John Rhys-Davies, in fact) makes it take the cake, and the rest of the voice cast, in particular, whoever voices Doctor Cranium and Igor, make it the pinnacle. Of course, I'm an unabashed fanboy of that series, so it's not an entirely reasonable assessment.

It's just unbearable for me to walk around a city like Skingrad and see nothing but complete darkness all night. Again, If I had the PC version, I could fix that. I do have the PC version (I don't even own a console), but even mods can't fix some of the things that annoy me. I did manage to get around 190 hours out of the game (which is impressive) due to the mods, though. I would never be able to "finish" the game without those. But enough whining. It's an OK game (because of the mods ). Indigo Prophecy Oh, how could I forget that one. Yeah, very good voice acting there.
Totenkopf Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 Quest for Glory IV: Shadows of Darkness.

Looks like one of Hale's (Bastila) first pieces of Vid VO work (if wiki is to be trusted).
Corinthian Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 Oh, that's right. She voiced Katrina. I had forgotten about that. She does a pretty good Transylvanian accent. But Jeff Bennett is the King. Three of my favorite voices and a very good fourth.
Arátoeldar Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 Someone named Jeff Bennett. Looks like one of Hale's (Bastila) first pieces of Vid VO work (if wiki is to be trusted). Surely you should remember Jeff Bennett from Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy as Kyle Katarn.
Sabretooth Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 I dunno about individual voice acting, but overall, I thought Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines had some brilliant voice acting. Very lifelike, crisp and just stylish enough. And I've never gotten tired of Walton Simons' voice from Deus Ex. Indigo Prophecy Come to think of it, Lucas Kane had some great voice acting behind him. Agatha was also great, and while the quality was above-par over all, I can't say Carla Valenti and Tyler were all that memorable. Great stuff, over all.
igyman Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 Surely you should remember Jeff Bennett from Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy as Kyle Katarn. Yes, but I remember him even more as the iconic Johnny Bravo!!
Druganator Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 Maybe I'm just obsessed with Fable but i thought the va wasnt too shabby. Oh and Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess very convincing voice acting........
Ctrl Alt Del Posted September 1, 2008 Author Posted September 1, 2008 Maybe I'm just obsessed with Fable but i thought the va wasnt too shabby. Well, there's Jack, there's Maze and there's the Guildmaster. No one else was really remarkable IMO.
Corinthian Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 HERO YOUR WILL ENERGY IS LOW, WATCH THAT. The thing that disappointed me most about that game is the inability to murder the Guildmaster and decorate the Guild Hall with his bones.
Totenkopf Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 Surely you should remember Jeff Bennett from Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy as Kyle Katarn. Never played Quest for Glory (or JA) so didn't know that the voice was KKs (don't recall checking voice talent from DF2/JO).
Arátoeldar Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 Never played Quest for Glory (or JA) so didn't know that the voice was KKs (don't recall checking voice talent from DF2/JO). There have been several people to voice KK. The two most famous are: Jeff Bennett JO & JA Jason Court DF2: JK1 Others Dark Forces: Nick Jameson Mysteries of Sith: Rino Romano Star Wars: Empire at War: Brian Bascle audio dramatizations of the Dark Forces novellas: Randal Berger
Inyri Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 Jason Court was the best Kyle Katarn. Rino Romano was probably the worst (although admittedly I haven't heard the Empire at War Kyle, but I imagine it can't be much worse). Jeff Bennett would be a close second for worst. =_=
Serpentine Cougar Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 Oh and Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess very convincing voice acting........ I heard that game didn't have any voice acting...
Rachel_Ewok Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 I like the voice acting for Tomb Raider Anniversary, not really a new game, but it can get annoying listening to the same voice from the same character thoughout an entire game. I get annoyed when listening to the PC in KOTOR I, Lara Croft just doesn't annoy me. Especially in Anniversary, her voice is real pretty.
Druganator Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 I heard that game didn't have any voice acting... haha yea i was sorta being sarcastic about that there aren't any voiced lines in any zelda games
Miltiades Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 I get annoyed when listening to the PC in KOTOR I What's there to listen to, aside from some grunts and the occasional "yes"?
Sabretooth Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 HERO YOUR WILL ENERGY IS LOW, WATCH THAT. The thing that disappointed me most about that game is the inability to murder the Guildmaster and decorate the Guild Hall with his bones. I couldn't agree with you more.
