I have never seen such hilarious uneven overacting in a video game . EVER. The shit Witwer does here must've come from a blank check out of his Star Wars VA fame. At no point is he doing a convincing character. Hes all over the place. In one moment hes a heartless outlaw, then hes antagonistic, then hes furious, then hes cheeky again. But at NO POINT he does this in the appropriate moment. Its an actual marvel on how not to do voice work. My god, you are screaming for Troy Baker at the end of it.The game is kinda cool though. Proper operator gameplay and a wild wild third act straight out of 28 Days Later.
>>728957369Garbage take.Deacon is mentally unstable so these mood switches fit pretty well. The only negative point is how they messed up the sound mixing when he's on a bike and screams despite nothing loud happening, but that's not on the VA actor.
Btw, the crazy baddie is pro trans, lol. You cant make this up.
>>728957851Unstable? Why no proper hints at PTSD then. There are none.
For me its Adkins. Crazy dyke bitch who gives the Colonel the kiss taunt. I was literally whispering "kino" at that moment.
>>728957943He's risking his life to drive out and talk to a rock while raking up as many kills as possible, you think a mentally healthy man would do that?
>>728958326Hes a lone wolf outlaw. Hes also an ex 1%er. Of course hes a crazy asshole.
He's a genuinely unlikeable character who treated the man who saved his wife like shit, wore the same hat to his very own wedding and most of the time he's just an asshole to people for no reason
>>728958231In all her glory.
>>728958231>>728958690Imagine the hatefuck...
>>728957851>muh "mentally unstable" copeYou faggots have been around so long I swear you work for Sony. Deacon is cringe and 80% of it is the voice acting.
>>728957369Seems more like a writing issue
>>728958891I do. Whenever is see prison dykes. And its killing me.
>>728957369I've always laughed at the first-take things he babbles to himself while driving.HHNNGHG UHH YEAH TUCK THE GOVERNMENT IS TOTALLY PUTTING ESTROGEN IN THE FREAKERS VENOM, JEEZ
>>728957851Okay why doesn't he have those mood switches when talking to anyone else? He's whatever the story needs him to be at the time: He's completely reasonable when interacting with friendly NPCs, he's permanently struck with grief and regret whenever his wife comes up, he's a psycho whenever he catches some guy who did something bad. Shit's all over the place.
He 100% got the freedom to adlib. Most of the lines seem improvised. Which is insane considering the other characters are written way more tightly. Taylor for example. Or Kouri.
>>728959465This is the only explanation, the random shit he says sometimes is just so out of pocket
>>728959430>why is unhinged schizo behaving unhinged only when there are no friendlies around?Aer you retarded?
The funniest shit were always the nests. He comments on them like hes huffing celebrity BRAPS. Sam Witwer was amazing as the shizo villain in BSG. Hes terrible as the outlaw-with-a-heart-of-gold. They wanted to be The Last Of Us so bad, but forgot Troy Baker, lele
Miss me yet, /v/?
>>728957369I liked his performance. They should make a sequel frfr.
>>728959610Then what's the point of him being a weirdo crazy guy if it only pops up whenever he's talking to himself? If you're going to write a crazy person, let me play a crazy person, let me see how the crazy affects the plot and the other characters. Also the only reason he talks to himself while alone is to remind the player of what just happened in case they skipped the cutscenes or are geniunely that retarded, there's no artistic intent.
>>728957369Deek's schizo rambling was unfiltered kino thoughever.
Leveling up camps is a chore.This is video games not work.
>>728957369I could never tell if he was supposed to come across as mentally unstable, which would be appropriate giving the setting and events he experienced, or if it's just terrible voice direction. For example whenever Cope's radio segments come on and Deacon goes on a scathing rant to nobody as he rides along listening. Politiboomers actually scream at the TV like retards that way IRL so I just don't know.
his unhinged ramblings as he sneaks into raider camps are pure kino
>>728960510>Ambusher camp. Fucking theives, murderers, rapists all of them, gotta kill every single one of them.>[Getting into combat] WHAT'S THE MATTER, YOU DON'T LIKE IT WHEN THEY SHOOT BACK?
>lvl3 camp requiredFUCK YOU Aint no one got time for this shit.
>>728957369i got about halfway through this game and i never noticed it being that bad. i feel like you're overstating
>>728962686Do you also go halfway through movies an then let your mom explain the rest to you?
>>728957369Do you think VAs implement their voicelines into the game themselves?They just deliver the audio. If the devs decide to use psycho_rage_combat3.ogg when sneaking up to a camp instead of making it a rare voiceline when you just killed 15 guys while low HP it's not the VA's fault.
>>728963236>meth cheeksnot even once.
>>728963236Reading comprehension. Witwer delvers his lines in a way only a fart huffing theatre kid on his first major role assignment could. Which is mind boggling because his Starkiller is done normally.
>>728957369These AAA games almost always have a Japanese dub and they're almost always better than the english dub.You literally just have to go into the settings menu and change the audio language and you too can have a better experience.>inb4 weeb weeb weebYour voice """actors""" will get replaced by AI next year.
>>728957943>always talking to himself>rants at any slightly incovenient thing said to him but not in front of peopleNot to mention depression from his deteriorating moral compass because>he sold multiple people into slavery for cashDid you even pay attention?
>>728960026Have you ever heard of the concept of self awareness or politeness?Look it up, crazy stuff
>>728957369It's not his fault, the game was in dev hell then just put out to die. It's probably an editing / change of direction thing.Also I thought that but it grew on me over time lmfao
>>728957369He's performance has such a weirdo schizo energy that it's borderline funny bad to meShame I got bored with the game and never finished it. Last thing I remember was he finally had sex with his wife again after getting trapped in a snowy cabin or something.
>>728957369Why is this the only Sony game /v/ seems to like?
>>728964021Thats literally when the game becomes kino. Entire third act is what the entire game should've been.
>>728957369The main issue was the writing, I liked his performance because he put heart into it but he's written like a Californian woman.
>>728964102PC, nuff said.
>>728964201Wokeman and God of Woke are also on PC though.
>>728964102>not movie game>is fun>not woke>pc, potato friendly
>>728964359/v/ hates dad simulators.
>>728964407Main villain acknowledges gay and trans people.
>>728964497The villain is the bad guy though.
>>728964597Nah, he just went nuts. Same with Jessie. The ones overcompensating the most are always the villains.
Another game where the most obvious post-apoc thing (slavery and rape) are not mentioned. Shame.
>>728965074Wasn't slavery kinda implied in that old lady's camp?
>>728965273It was, but they always dance around the subject. Always. The only game that ever comments on it are Mad Max and INDIKA. The latter shows an almost attempted tape.
