Symphony of the Night. Overall the game was brilliant, but the voice acting was glaring flaw that was pretty tough to ignore. Richter is so bad you can't help but cringe everytime he speaks.

Shenmue is definitely one of the worst offenders, but there's also Star Ocean 2. The voice acting is so bad in that game, it's legendary.

For some reason Final Fantasy 12's voice acting REALLY pissed me off. It seems for nearly every voice they had one indian guy or lady do the voice over in slightly different variations. It really annoyed me.

Easy. Resident Evil had about 10 speaking characters with bad acting and horrible dialogue...

Shenmue had about 90 speaking characters with bad acting and horrible dialogue

Spiderman 3 was pretty bad actually, awesome game...but oh man the guy who played the green goblin/harry osborn sounded like he was literally trying to do the absolute worst VO ever. Recently I played through Symphony Of The Night and that one takes the crown. Not only for the voice acting but the script too.... its like beyond b movie bad. Still amazing game but ...... ... ouch...just ouch.

:lol: Classic!

I think Disgaea 2 has some horrible voice acting. It's the only game I've considered playing entirely in Japanese. I still kept it in the English voice overs because I don't like Japanese vocie actors' squeaky and screaming voices.

House of the Dead III on XBOX was a good laugh. What's surprising is how a C-list game Resident Evil: Dead Aim arguably has better voice overs than the main series.

I didn't know which was worse. The horrible voice acting or the glitch where it looked like Fate's younger cousin had her pants zipped down right at the....nvm.

There was an FMV adventure game produced by MTV back in the mid-nineties called Club Dead (Club Dread, maybe?).The voice actingwas awful. I mean, stunningly awful. So much so that it was worth it, simply for the camp factor.

A recent bad one is enchanted arms.

Seriously though, why put bad voice acting in a game? It's part of the overall artistic experience and poor voice acting is just as bad as poor art design or poor music or poor gameplay.

I'd much rather choose no voice acting over bad voice acting. At least when I'm reading the voices sound right in my mind.

Surprised no-one here's mentioned the Mega Man games. Absolutely amateur and atrocious.

Go find audio of "WHAT AM I FIGHTING FOR!?" from one of the X games. Best, quote, ever..

What's funny is that even the earliest games with voice acting (like Dune 2) where engineers areusuallydoing the voices, are much more passable than some of the horrendous32-bit CD games.

Evil Islands (bad voice acting, probably the worst I've seen in any pc game... but the game itself is excellant after you get into it)

Sudeki (i could barely stand it, decent voices would have helped the game)

Enchanted Arms (terrible for the most part... the Ice queen had a hot voice though)

Sonic Adventure, jebus H crackers that game has some horrific voice acting.

The Resident Evil remake on the Cube was pretty horrific, considering. In fact most Capcom games tend to have bad voice acting.

There's one woman in Oblivion who really annoys me. She's got this dead strong American accent and it just doesn't fit in my opinion.

The fact no one in this thread has mentioned Last Alert means that everyone in this thread has been fortunate enough not to hear it (the gameplay/game design merely mediocre but the voice acting was abysmal). I'll remedy that right now. You haven't truly suffered until you've heard what sounds like the same guy trying a variety of accents on for size (i.e. 'evil asian dude, ignorant hick and snobby white guy').

Yeah I did...I´m German,so I heard more then a few awful voices...MGS1 and a Might and Magic-Part (had two actors for ALL voices)on the PS1 are legendary...actually there aren´t more then a few good ones.

Bad English-voice acting is usually pretty good,but FFXII was,exept the Main-Characters who were great,awful.Sometimes you could even hear how it should have sounded right.Rassler (or so don´t remember the name,the Prince that got killed in the opening) had the worst voice ever.There a few other bad voice-actings out there,but that´s the only one that came into my mind right now.

If you had played it a bit longer...later the game(around 10h) the voice-acting get´s MUCH better and it gets(belive it or not)one of the best syncronised RPGs out there (not beating Grandia 1,2 and 3 which wasmaybe the best-voiced).Of course the funny quotes do their part too,but overall I was impressed,which didn´t happen for a loooong time.

Well at least I know I'm not the only one who thought games like Star Ocean and Baten Kaitos had bad voice acting.

My addition to bad voice acting in a game is Tales of Symphonia. I couldn't stand it and quit playing the game because of how bad the voice acting was. Yuk!!

Well, I have nothing to add really. Just RE and Shenmue from anything I recall.

I really wonder how these games get such bad VO. Like really, I think they could pick any shmuck off the street, tell them generally what has happened just before that line (so if the character is hurt, tired, whatever) and they could read the line better.
