Ah, but that was a voice synthesizer. Only the text was in the actual game.

Wow. ~:eek:

While Rome Total War probably has the worst voice acting of any video/PC game I've ever played myself, I have to admit that most of these are even worse. :gah2:

Re: Worst Videogame Voice Acting

I remember Dynasty Warriors 3. Half of the lines were done by a man with no voice other than a hoarse, high-pitched shout.

IT'S LUU BUUUUUUUUU!!!

I remember that the English dub of Battle Isle 2220 was comically bad, but that was a dub, I'm sure it was far better in its original language.

Oh yes, if you are disregarding the completely monotone and robotic voices (especially by JC).

I though JC's voice was pretty good for his character. But only Bob Page's was quality.

That seemed perfectly suitable to the character to me, I mean he is no normal human. Putting to much emotion in it would also ruin your choice of what type a character you are playing.

Ha! You sir do not know what speak of. RTW has great voice acting, what little of it there is. I've played a few of the games on that list. And seen some of the others played. Compared to the acting in any of the _____ Warriors games the RTW VA is a :daisy::daisy: masterpiece.

Re: Worst Videogame Voice Acting

How does it fail to include Battalion Wars 2? The voice acting of one character is so bad, I couldn't finish the game. The idiot dies later on by being poisoned in the most unsubtle way imaginable, but I din't make it up to that bit. Fort a quick taster, try this.. Keep listening, and remember that you have to endure him whining about every move you do. A shame, since it was a decent game.

The best arcade game ever made had one of the strangest voice-over goofs in history. The X-men Arcade.

Not a well known game.

I have it downstairs, and the voices have downgraded it qulaity from the first one. Euugh.

Worst voicing?

Despite lips being out of sync most the time, I thought it was fairly good and no games voice overs are that varied really...

Re: Worst Videogame Voice Acting

It was good for the first half-hour, provided you got past the horrible, horrible interface (before the days of Darnified UI). Then you realized that everyone sounds the same. If anything the game is a poster child for why complete voice overs are incredible wastes of time and money, and limit far more than they add to the experience and modding. Besides, I thought that a lot of the voices were very shallow and didn't show any variation or 'human-ness'. Though it's not like Deus Ex had stellar voice acting either, if anything it was more a layer of comedy on top of a badass game.

Agreed, Deus Ex's voice acting was superb. Yeah, not all of it, but most of it. It really set a mood.

The first was OK IMHO. Cheesy, but bearable. However, I physically could not continue playing, as that thing's voice was the equivalent of slowly pushing very sharp, very cold icicles into my ears.

I never thought it to be annoying for some reason. Then again, I was about 7/8 when I played OOT, meaning I originally found Tingle amusing (Thankfully, that stopped a long time ago), found redeads horrifying, and the Water Temple impossible. However, it appears that as Zelda games have got easier (WW, TP), people's ability to complete has declined at a faster rate. My sister has a 13 year old friend who is stuck on TP at the fish bit. Not that red, stinky fish, but the fish you have to catch at the very start of the game. Oh how times have changed.
