thats the difference i guess.

when the japanese are doing localization for a western game in japan they showed respect towards that work by doing a good job.

that voice acting sounds really good =)

when western is supposed to do localizations for japanese games they can be either good or show how much lack of respect they have for other peoples work by doing a crappy job.

Are you happy and proud now that you broke my poor little and innoncent heart ?

I guess Japanese seiyus just put more passion to their work than most of the American voice-actors(don't get me wrong, there are some very good and passionate American voice actors). Voice-actors are very popular in Japan compared to western countries where voice-actors don't get half as much attention.

Though it sounds pretty loltastic for a game like Just Cause 2 to have good voice acting

RE4 had a great story I agree.

lol , nice avatar by the way

What? Resident Evil with a bad Story? If you're talking about RE4, I can understand (seriously it's so stupid).

But the other RE games got great story. Capcom made a great job with Resident Evil. The storyline is complex (if you read the files) and deep. There are alot of disturbing moments (Lisa Trevor for example). The virus theories and the studies development. The dates, the tests, the outbreaks, etc.

The voice actors, IMO, are great (Wesker for example). I don't like japanese voices and I don't understand people who loves the japanese voice so much when they dont even talk Japanese! I mean, come on, you never talked japanese so you can't ear the voices defaults. I think they all sounds bad (exept for some). The males got 3 variants, the little shy dude. the emo kid and the Sumo. When they fight, it's ugly as hell (goku DBZ for example)! The female got 2 variants, the shy one and the older one. Plus when the are hurt, shy or happy, they sound the same!

At least Capcom tries to make games that everyone loves, Western and Japanese. For us, muscle characters (Chris), alot of guns, zombies, kick ass girls, Wesker (FBI style). For Japan, Leon, tentacles monsters and more monstruous forms, etc. Capcom is awesome, they always make games for USA and Japan, not like Tecmo/Koei and Square Enix.

And I hate when people says that Japanese developers put more effort in their works than Western developers. Koei Tecmo always make the SAME game (dynasty warrior 5, 5 empires, 5 Xtreme, Samurai Warriors 2, 2 empire, 2 Xtreme, then Orochi, Orochi 2, Orochi Z!). They even forgot to put the DEF in Orochi 1! Namco released Soul Calibur Broken Destiny. It's the same thing that SC4! Some Japanese game on the nezt gen console have Gamecube Graphics (Tales Of Vesperia) and even PS one Graphics (Cross Edges and King Of fighters 12). Konami used Snes enemies even in their recent game like Order of Ecclesia, they just copied/paste them. They also use the same stereotypes over and over again (anime and games). There are great Japanese companies too like Nintendo and Capcom, but alot of them are crap. EA and Activision are their counterparts in some ways.

What ? Japanese respect the western game ? The japanese have awful prejudice for western and they got a word to describe and discriminate western game.

Haha, looks like this is not really KAWAII NO DESU! Awesome, where did you found that?!

I don't get the purpose of this thread severance.

What are you trying to argue? That Japanese voice actors are good and Western bad, or that this particular video shows bad voice acting (or good?).

And why a Japanese language video when 0.1 % of VGC can understand Japanese? So please explian, do we hear bad or good voice acting in that video??
