i'm i the only one that hates it when known personalities are used for voice acting? i find myself incredibly disengaged from any animated character if when i hear the voice i can identify the actor.


I actually mostly agree with you. When I hear a person with a very distinct and recognizable voice it does break the immersion. I have not heard the actors in ME2 enough (other than Sheen) to really recognize the voice. I will most likely not have any issues regarding this with ME2. ME2 looks great so far and I am really looking forward to picking up the game.

exactly.  never played ME so i have no clue about this game in specific but owen wilson's voice in Cars really wrecked the experience for me (as an example).

This looks nice (I hope it comes to PS3) but definately not GOTY because it would be FFXIII.


When will you JRPG only gamers get it (not to mention PS3 only)? FFXIII has no chance of GOTY with Mass Effect 2 anywhere near it.

ok ur ME fanboyism is unbelieveable. Look ME2 is going to be an epic game we know that, i know that and im very excited for it. But cmon u honestly think FFXIII cant match that? ur crazy. FFXIII will be epic the same as ME2 it has every chance at winning GOTY and Best RPG just as much as ME2 does and u no it


LOL......FFXIII doesn't stand a chance. SE stated Versus would be better anyway so that just cancels out how "EPIC" this game will be. Besides its just a linear story for us all to enjoy. Mass Effect has a few endings and a few ways to play. Enjoy the epicness in multiple ways. :)

how does that cancel it out??? so wat if versus may or may not be better, it dosent mean FFXIII wont be an epic game. It still has a solid chance at being epic. and if versus is better ,well then that will be an even more epic game lol. But if u agree with that ridiculous statement i guess u can conclude that ME1 isnt an epic game b/c ME2 will is better right???


Mass Effect is the definitive game when you think of something epic. Bioware has perfected how to create lengthy storyboards in web format and allow it to feel fluid based upon your decisions. You create the game and you create the atmosphere for the new game. This is what RPG's are and do definitively and Mass Effect 2 will be amazing. The third....OMG!

As for FFXIII it will have to do a lot to gain the respect of the west again (even though it will outsell Mass Effect 2 no doubt). It will not have the depth, epicness nor the customizable factors of Mass Effect either. It most likely will be the most epic JRPG but SE has to dig themselves out of a creative hole they've fallen into for the past 4-5 years.

Theres nothing wrong with using seasoned veteran actors, especially well suited Sci-fi actors who have been doing human/alien lifeform voices for years.

 

P.S.

Owen Wilson is a joke. He's only big because of his brother and his ties with Ben Stiller.

which is why i put out the part about me not critisizing ME in particular.  i'm really just going off-topic on the observation that a lot of people are excited by the big names while my general reaction is always the opposite.
