| DevilRising said: No thanks. I'll pass. Not every game needs VA, and honestly, some games, it gets annoying or somewhat ruins the experience. For example: Mario games were much cooler before I had to hear him turn from a New York plumber into a silly Italian guy, yelling "Wahoo!" all the time. I love most of the Mario games where he has VA, don't get me wrong. But that silly fucking voice didn't add anything of value to Mario or his games. Link is absolutely fine silent. I'd like him to stay that way. |
That isn't really relevent to my voice acting claim, though. It's either Mario says here we go, or he says nothing at all. That's not what I'm arguing. If Nintendo elected to, instead of having Mario say "here we go," a text bubble appeared over his head reading "Here we go!" then I'd have a problem.
I hate that Sonic speaks. I hate that Sonic games have any real plot. I think the next Sonic game should have him mostly silent just like Mario. That doesn't mean I think that VA ruined Sonic. Sonic's annoying personality portayed by the things he says and the nature of his scenarios ruins Sonic. I just want him to shut up, give me a rude look, and run.
