Forums - Gaming - Has voice acting ever made or broken a game for you?

the writing will be on par with the voices, so no...the voices by themselves have not done that for me.

play Portal and Portal 2. The voice acting is amazing.

Mega Man 8.

Dear God, the voice acting was atrocious. I played for two stages, (Tengu Man and Clown Man) and just couldn't stand it anymore.

Hell, the male protagonist actually sounds less like a dude than his little sister.

That's... Just wrong.

Probably the only mainline Mega Man game I'll never complete.

Metal Gear Solid was a good game but the voice acting just make it perfect and revolutionary.

i don't even notice voice acting... seriously.... except that it's slower than reading when I have the text too.

I never heard anyone say, "This is a great game but I stopped playing it because of the voice acting sucks."

it's not voice acting there it's ambiance, and yes there it has the intended effect (for P1, haven't played P2)

Bad voice acting only breaks a game for me if you can't skip dialogues. well, the same goes for good voice acting and no voice acting.

Unskippable dialoge prevented me from getting Monkey Island SE



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom got pretty close, that Majin guy can be pretty unbearable. Just Cause 2 is just plain bad and even slightly offensive, I don't even do story missions in that game, I just travel between towns and blow shit up.



Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.
