Has voice acting ever made or broken a game for you?

i don't even notice voice acting... seriously.... except that it's slower than reading when I have the text too.

play portal then say that

it's not voice acting there it's ambiance, and yes there it has the intended effect (for P1, haven't played P2)

Portal 1 has voice acting, wtf do you think GlaDOS is? And everything said is apart of the storyline.

it's an off screen voice...(besides finale). I guess it's just a matter of how I understand voice acting. For me it meant talking for on screen characters, Off screen is much easier to do correctly as you don't have the gooffy persona to lipsynch to or make you look ridiculous even if you do a good job. I'm not saying P1's is bad (it's the opposit, i agree), but to me I percieved it more as ambiance than direct interaction.
