I prefer French dubs over english ones on TV/movies, and in video game I prefer English. Did you heard arnold schwarzenegger in English? It's awful. Most of the TV shows and movie are better in French IMO (I said IMO). The Simpsons is the best example. Tney speak like we speak in Quebec. In games, the french often sounds weird (mirror edge), but can be damn good too (fallout 3).

I said japanese voices sound bad. I never said they were bad voice actors, but they sound bad IMO. You said that Western voice actors are awful. So far, it's only opinion.

After that, you said that japanese were more professional and all that. That's when it turned bad. You need proofs for facts. I always put opinions, I didn't tried to put facts in the arguments, you did. So you need proofs if it's not opinions.

BTW I wouldn't be an ass if you tried to be more polite and less snob.

I just read your previous post up here and again it's opinion. If you can't speak or understand the language without subtitles, you can't say if it's good or bad. You just like the way it sounds. Maybe you can 'hear' expressions, but that's it. If a japanese guy plays RE1, maybe he'll find the voice actors good, because he don't speak english, so he can't ear the bad voice acting. It just sounds good.

I never once claimed that Western voice actors are awful as a generalization.  I said a lot of the voice acting work (for whatever reason) isn't on par with what is found in Japan from a consistence point of view.  Many of them are rather embarassing, as made evident by the many examples already given in this here thread.

I invite you to find videos pointing out some really poorly done English voice acting in games and do the same for Japanese games.

This alone is support enough of my points so far.

ok I ll just send the links of the vids

bad jap voice actor (Goku) IMO his voice doesnt fit at all : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CaIkbj7qz4

another bad voice actor (soul calibur 2, nightmare) It's link's voice (it's not that bad when he talks, but when he attacks, it's AWFUL). That doesn't fit the demon knight at all. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVsUfUhVbaM

here he is in english : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0g7cIAVKpVc

Good english dubs: All hellsing actors - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jyhpi47ClFE - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMeZUqVaAEs

Albert Wesker in RE umbrella Chronicles is a great voice actor.

Alot of the Namco games characters (Soul calibur, Tekken, etc) are good English voice actors.

If I can include all the TV shows, I'll include Seth McFarland (family guy, American dad) This guy is awesome. He makes alot of characters with totally different voices. But I think that doesnt counts.

The voices in Samurai Warriors in Jap are awful. I can't find them on youtube, but if you played the game, you know what I mean.

JAPANESE MARIO is not a good idea! : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEzRTKSUICo

I must admit japanese Ronald Mcdonald is the best in japanese- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voMJtstxE9w&feature=related

I think that's enough. Like I said those are my opinions!
