I strongly disagree. Both Escape from New York and MGS have equally bad acting and dialogue, yet at least Escape has the excuse of not taking itself seriously. Watch this, listen to Raiden and Snake, and then tell me the acting isn't terrible. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vM39_j24YaY Snake in particular is bad. If you have 10 hours of gameplay that easily stretches to 13-15 hours with the cinematics, so you get your money's worth. Many games are that short now, including Halo, Gears, God of War, Devil May Cry, Heavenly Sword, Ratchet, Uncharted...so if you don't like games of that length I don't know what to tell you other than play RPGs. I don't see many people here complaining about game length, only the ratio of cutscenes to gameplay. Unfortunately, most of us have accepted that games are going to be shorter nowadays. |
If you think MGS' dialogue and acting are bad then what is goo for you? Luckily for Kojima 5M+ people disagree with you, me included. I like the voice acting on all games of the series. They are as good as it gets in a videogame. You can pick individual parts where the acting is not as good but those are exceptions. Most of it is awesome.
"That fine design I spoke of integrates the music very well with a broad and finely-tuned effects suite, along with the superb voice acting we came to expect after the first MGS." IGN's MGS2 review
It's one of the few games iout there where the voice acting cast is actually news... http://ps3.ign.com/articles/776/776931p1.html
