The best/worse voice acting you heard.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions.;)

~Best~

• Team Fortress 2 - the voice goes along very well with the chars.
• Company of Heroes - need I say more? Rangers are my fav.
• World in Conflict - Particularly the Soviet Union side...for some reason makes you fight harder for the motherland.

~Worse~

• Crysis Wars - Koreans trying to speak English with the stereotypical accent. Com'on really? I was almost insulted and I'm not even Korean.
• Guild Wars - Shiro speaking English (if you play GW...then you know what I mean)
• Ghost Recon 2 - That debriefing guy in the helo for some reason pisses me off with his annoying voice. To make it worse, you can not turn off his voice separately and he will also cut in your game to remind you of your goals.

Worst would definatly be Two Worlds but i dont mind it when its so bad its funny,

many games have good voice acting, maybe mass effect, half life 2

The voice acting in Men of War is horrible. Still a very good game though.

hahaha yea men of war is horrible. i stopped playing the game because i coudn't take anymore aural abuse.

Dunno about best, but if you want bad, try Arma2. It's REALLY bad. Not just the acting, the dialogue too. It's very badly written.

Some of the unit responses in Rome Total War just sounded funny. :P

Oblivions was pretty funny. Halt criminal scum guy, the woman, the high pich guy, and the black guy seemed to populate every single character.

• Crysis Wars - Koreans trying to speak English with the stereotypical accent. Com'on really? I was almost insulted and I'm not even Korean.

Whenever I play that game, if I hit auto assign for team selection, I always am put into the Korean team. I don't think anyone can stand that voice shouting every five seconds. And of course, there's no way to turn it off.

As far as worst, there have been some that have far worse, but Altair in AC was just so horribly forced and fake. It was a pretty great game, and it deserved someone better.

I just finished playing Dreamfall: The Longest Journey a few days ago and it is one of the best adventure games I have played and thats a small bracket. The voice acting in that game is absolutely superb from all of the characters. Top notch.

Oblivion was terrible, the beggars changed their voices when you asked about rumors. and the only good parts of it were shivering isles. the only way I could handle it was to not look at the faces

Best-

Grand Theft Auto IV (and practically every GTA game since GTA 3)
Half-Life 2
Call of Duty 4
Bioshock
Portal

Worst-

Resident Evil
Far Cry
Far Cry 2
Oblivion (because there are only about 6 actors voicing the hundred or so NPCs in the game. eurgh...)

Best ever: David Hayter as Snake in the metal gear series!

Best voices...Vampire Bloodlines, bad... too many to list.

Best: Half Life 2

Worst: Warcraft 3, was pretty funny imo

From my experiences..

Best:

• Half-Life 2
• Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines

Worst:

• Fallout 3
• Far Cry

Resident Evil 1 has pretty aweful voice acting but thats part of what makes this game a classic :P

Worst

Far Cry 2

Was just playing NHL 09, so ill add that to the worst also. The NHL series from ea.

Everyone pretty much named the best/worst I would have mentioned. I'm sure there's more in each category but can't think of any. However, I did want to mention the female voice (advisor) n Empire: Total War. She does an excellent job and I'd really like to know which actress it is. I think it may be someone famous like Keely Hawes. As for the game it still needs a lot of work.

I thought the voice action in NWN2 was well done.

Why are you all forgetting about Star Wars: Knights of the old Republic I and II? Theres hours of higj quality voice acting in there.

Worst voice acting : All of the Age of Empires.

Honorable Mention (Not PC): Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Starkiller and the pilot woman (forgot her name) have one of the best voice acting I have ever seen.

Mass Effect had an all-star cast for voiceovers, and every critic was pleased with it.

assassins creed npcs used to annoy the hell out of me and i always thought the actor who played cj from san andreas was mis-cast

i always liked guybrush in the curse of monkey island and michael ironside who plays sam fisher

Best: Mass Effect

Worst: Two Worlds

Best voice acting ever?

Dominic Armato.

He IS Guybrush Threepwood.

flipin_jackass

One of the best voice actings definitely belong to : KoTOR I, The Witcher, Mass Effect,NWN 2, Half Life 2 + Episodes and all GTA's from 3 above (I loved San Andreas's the most though).

Recently experienced bad voice acting : The Godfather II

Mass Effect had an all-star cast for voiceovers, and every critic was pleased with it.

topsemag55

I very much agree with you...The voice acting through out Mass Effect was truly amazing ! Though the only complaint I did have with it was on some of the side quests. The woman that kept screaming....... "I will KILL you !" ..............I just couldn't take it, so maybe that aspect in the game could fall under the worst voice acting category. But other than that small con, Mass Effect is at the top of my list.....and just behind it, I would rank Warhammer 40K : Dawn of War, the original in the single player campaign. The Shakespearian delivery in the voice overs was just great !

Best list : Mass Effect, Warhammer 40K Dawn of War, Bioshock, Deus Ex, System Shock 2, Psychonauts, Beyond Good & Evil and Oddworld.

Worst List : FryCry (though I didn't find it to be that awful) and C&C 3 (very cheesy)

Far Cry 2

Best Far Cry 2 LOL? Are you serious...? It is like they walked out on the street and grabbed a couple homeless people to do the voice acting in that game... No emotion, no pauses, no nothing... Everything was run on for them...

theytalkedlikethis.pausedlikethis.showednoemotionlikethis.

Half the time I couldn't even understand what they were saying and had to use the subtitles because they used no pauses and so it sounded like they were combining words...

How can anyone vote HL2 as best voices? It's pathetic. They've got one guy who sounds like he's missing a testacle doing every single voice for the non-named characters and he sucks at it.

Are you serious? There are several voice actors for the standard NPCs, and they do a great job. Yet the thing that makes HL2's voice acting a cut above the rest is the voices of the G-Man, Alyx, Barney, Eli and the other main characters. They're brilliant.

Tad Unfair on Crysis TC, if you play on Veteran the Koreans speak Korean. So i do not think Crysis deserves that perhaps some of Nomads lines are questionable mind.

Best:

Dawn of War, has some excellent voice acting. Oh and some bad voice acting! lol

Valkyria Chronicals has some great voice acting

Neverwinter Nights 2

Fallout 3, considering its scope and size was great as well.

Worse:

Resident Evil 1

Any Tomb Raider

Oblivion : Sometimes great other times Bad

Resident Evil's voice acting was so bad. But in that case, it was so bad that it was good lol. It's like the most hilarious/awesome camp horror movie ever

Worst:

Dungeon Siege II. Enough said.

James Bond: Nightfire had some of the worst. Using Brosnan's facewith someone else's voice was a very bad idea.

Best voice acting:

Gordan Freeman from Half Life 2

Isaak Clark from Dead Space

Your main character in KOTOR 1/2 and Jade Empire

Your main Space Marine character in Doom 3

Samus Aran in Metroid Prime 1/2

Main Character Test Subject in Portal

Main Character in Bioshock

Main Character in Saints Row 1

I figured it would be pretty obvious since -every- character I listed had no voice. :P
