Has voice acting performance ever impacted your decision to buy a game? If so, which one?

It's certainly a HUGE reason it's so hard to get through Xenosaga Episode 2.

Tell me that just the first 20 minutes doesn't make you cringe a few times.

I played Disc 1 in Japanese and then the whole game in English. I didn't like some of the new voice actors they chose.
But it didn't bother me to the point where it's hard to get through the game. (Glad they changed them back in Xenosaga 3 though.)
It was actually the gameplay that made it hard for me to get through the game. It got really tedious a bit into Disc 2. So much that I felt a bit anxious about wasting my time, when I could be doing other things rather than gathering Stock each battle.

Canaan and chaos' voice actors are as bad and lifeless as people try to make Samus from Other M appear. Listening to both of them for around 20 minutes is torture.
