Nope, never. Unless it's just really too awful to listen to, but even then I would just play the game with the sound off and listen to something else.

yes i bought prinny because i love the voice acting ( i really that in reality i would probably hate the speakers guts).

it broke my heart they changed the voice speaker

Nope.

It's good if the voice of character carries on sequels, but not mandatory.

I may give a little more consideration to a version of the game dubbed in Portuguese instead of importing if prices aren't too different.

I got this game, even though it may have the worst English voice acting I've heard in my life:

(They hired their friends and families to do the voice acting. No joke.)
Although there was an option to switch to Japanese, but I actually stuck to English because it was so bad that it was funny.

Oh my God, that's hilarious XD



You know it deserves the GOTY.

One of my favorite games of all time is the first RE on PS1. Atmosphere and music is more important than voice acting for me. Gameplay is still king though.

On language, not on performance. I refuse to buy anything with voice acting in a language I don't understand.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

lol no 5 years ago there were no games in my language, good voice acting is like cake, a very nice thing to have but you're not gonna die from the lack of it

Why does the guy at 3:12 sound like a gangsta from the hood? xD "Yeaaahhh"

No, never. Honestly, it is probably the least important part of the game to me.

My only issue is forced dubs.. I'll usually only get those games when they're cheaper
Sub or gtfo.
