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

What you're not understanding is Portal was done with the western audience in mind.  Few people here are complaining about western made games with voice acting (aside from perhaps that guy who said Kratos, which I kind of agree).  But Portal never suffered from being relocalized and dubbed with a much smaller budget.  In fact, Portal, like something such as Assassins Creed or any Bioware game, got major well known voice actors and put entensive focus on the voices.

The major problem with voices in video games are when you start to look at the Japanese made games which come over to the west.  That's when you get the legendarily bad voices like in Sonic, Final Fantasy and Xenosaga.  Because they're redubs with emphasis put on how fast and cheap they can redub the voices.
