>mfw I hear the english dub for .2 of a second
>>736536780man I remember as a kid wondering why in Megaman Legends 2 did Megaman suddenly sound like Sailor Jupiter.
>>736536996>forced english dub and a mandatory intro segment before you can go into the settings and change it
>>736537019This shit is the fucking worst.
>>736536996>have to redownload japanese language pack after every update
>>736537019totk did this.
>>736537008I thought him in 2 and Tails in Sonic Heroes just had colds that day when I first played those games.
>VA commits wrong think>still has a job
>Dragon Ball FighterZ>Super anime isn't dubbed yet so there's no precedent for how Goku Black should sound like>Sean Schemmel ad libs Black with a haughty British accent in the game>IT'S PERFECT>Super anime gets dubbed and presumably some dumbfuck producer decides that Black needs to have a gravely voice>Schemmel does all the post-launch lines for Black in FighterZ with a dumb growling voice>now Black talks in two wildly different voices in-game>og voice is still better>publicly apologizes for the original voiceI know it's autistic but this pisses me right the fuck off.
>VA is racist >Gets away with it because not American
>>736536981>>736536780>realize original VA passed away ;_;
>character va changes mid sentence
>original VA quits>new VA does a pretty decent job
>whole cast of the first game gets replaced in the sequel due to union laws bullshit
>game gets a remake >The replace the vas for the mcs>The og vas come back to voice the antagonists
>>736536780what happened to her?
>>736537873>turns out its secretly a sequel with time travel fuckery so the VA change has meaning
>>736536780>game only has 5 voice actors for 1000 npcs>half of them are from shit like darkwing duckThought it was cool to hear negaduck in splatterhouse but fuck me it got exhausting in this piece of shit
>>736536780>character suddenly has a voice in the sequel
>>736537019I see you've played Xenoblade Chronicles X.
>>736536780>Character’s VA starts sounding rough after 20 consecutive years voicing them
>Every VA that ain't ingrish or chink sounds good
>>736536780>VA gets fired because of a drug fueled rant about fruit flies spying on him
>>736538240>every VA that is not american sounds incredible
>>736537937It's hilarious in Deus Ex
>>736537019I hate this
>>736538220Not the case with my ninja.
>>736538253It was a bit and they hired him back for MD
>character has 5 different english VAs but only 1 japanese VA
>old va fucking dies>anon seethes so much that the company revives the actor to record the new lines for the next game wth it was that easy?
>>736536780>>736536996>chinese VA plays for .2 secondsDISGUSTING LANGUAGE
>>736538463>character has 5 different japanese VAs but only 1 english VA
>>736538551>golem felt called out kek
>>736538364his "HOAAAAAAHHHH" when doing flying swallows n shit is never gonna leave my mind
>>736536981The Talking Flowers for Mario Wonder on Switch 2. Although you can still play the original version with the Old VA.
>>736537019Even worse is why then do this shit with subtitles, if somebody needs subtitles they will need them BEFORE the big intro cutscene
>>736538271Deus Ex has like a hundred voice actors, that's part of what makes it so sovlful
>sequel comes out after more than a decade>VAs have moved on and changed industries>voice director hunts them down to reprise their roles
>>736539107more like the VA's beg to be in the sequel but the director discards them like whores they are
>VA's are A.I keeping the cost of the game down so more work can be done on game design
>VAs are youtubers or ecelebs
No game should have any VA
>>736539346>Nothing changes since the line between a literal nobody from the street and actual, legit actor is non-existent in anglosphere
>>736539198>AI voices are trained with the average amerimutt anime VAs so it sounds like shit anyways
>>736539346>mutt ecelebs and jewtubers are not only VAs but they are scanned as NPC cameos>there's like 10 of them>on the streets, in the quests, as radio talk shows >you can't kill themFUCK Trannypunk and the entire subhuman colony of pooland GOD DAMN
>>736539198VAs are paid pennies aside those rare cases where they hire some famous holywood actors. These days the majority of the budget of AAA games goes to those boring no colors hyper realistic graphics and in advertising. There is plenty of companies where advertising alone takes 50% or more of the budget.
>>736539761I dont keep up with ecelebs and youtubers so i never catch on those references.
>>736539897They stick out
>>736539837Good.
>>736538584I thought Japs took their VA roles seriously?Meanwhile a guy known for 4kids dubs sticks around for decades.
>>736540004They changed the jap VA for the trilogy because they didn't really care about the 90s anime. However westerners liked it more and thanks to funny bloopers they demanded to have the same english VA back.
>>736537937I’m cool with this guy’s voice in any other piece of media but for fucks sake is it awful in Skyrim. In fact all the voice acting is horrible likely due to lack of direction. It’s probably one of the main reasons I cannot bring myself to replay it while I can replay any other TES game without issue.
>>736537019Astral Chain
>>736540004Jap VA is almost universally dogshit but the weeb worshippers here aint ready for that truthnuke
>VA's lines are retroactively replaced because of #metoo shit>it's proven false>they're not restored anyway
>>736540109I thought that mario's va did a great job as paarthurnax
>>736540272Shouldn't have seemed so suspicious, chud
BlazBlue had a phenomenal dub and they ruined it by the second game by replacing Bang's VA.
>>736538623>projecting
>first game's dub is broken, as in it plays the wrong lines at the wrong time or even plays lines in a wrong language>second game is mostly good, but the main character is horribly miscast and given bad direction>third game is finally dubbed okay>4th game is completely recast again, but at least the direction isnt terrible>5th game is actually pretty good
>>736540434>or even plays lines in a wrong languageThis has never happened
>>736540467Happens in Dynasty Warriors 3 lol
>>736540467legacy of kain blood omen, kraut dub
>>736537019It's the worst and they keep setting it as default too
>English VAs performance is so good, even the japs like itSay what you want about a lot of the Code Geass dub, but JYB is always putting in the work
>>736536780fuck dishonored 2fuck half life alyxfuck computer games ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>736539391It continues to amaze me how garbage the american VA industry is. Even the "good" ones were just nobodies with no actual acting training or experience and turned out okay by accident.
>>736540718Just like all actors, then
>>736540070MY LOVE FOR YOU IS LIKE A TRUCKBERSERKERWOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKING FUCKBERSERKER
>>736538007What's more hilarious about that game is how Vandham's voice changes for the new DE stuff, literally gave 0 fucks lmao. The old guy was much better as well.
Did he say making fuck?
>>736536780Literally name ONE [1] instance where this happened
>>736540841neptunia
>>736536780>character VA is accused of something during height of #MeToo hysteria>is not only fired, but has all his existing lines re-recorded and replaced>provides receipts proving he's totally innocent and the woman is a loon who's been stalking HIM>company doubles down and refuses to reinstate him
>>736540241Honestly it's quite the opposite at least post 2012. Before then, English dubs were at the very worst tolerably bad (and sometimes in a charming way) but they weren't the shitfest that most VAs are now. Japanese VAs are consistently good,but I do have to admit that a lot of the charm can be lost via translation.
>>736540918How foolish of me...I meant name ONE [1] GOOD game where this happened
>>736541254neptunia
>>736536780The Outsider from dishonoured 1 to 2. Nothing against the VA for 2 personally, but the change up was fucking awful and completely changed the character's personality.
>>736541254games where that has happened are inherently not good because of it, so fuck you and your loaded question
>>736541350>uuuh muh voice acting literally ruined the video game
>>736541387Yes.
>>736536780>Ada Wong's actress replaced in RE4 remake because W-w-white people can't voice non-White characters anymore!
>>736541461>VA is voiced by someone who's race doesn't match the character
>>736541387yes, correct
>>736541515There's no elves in the VA industry.
>>736541515There's no available orks in the voice actors guild.
>>736541515>you can hear race through voicethats a new one
>>736541618I can hear if someone is a lizardman.
>>736541515This wasn't a problem for years but somehow it became an issue because some Literally Who jeet was butthurt over Apu on The Simpsons. It was further exacerbated in 2020 all because some retarded nigger died of a Fentanyl overdose while in Minneapolis PD custody and a number of these voice actors bent the knee to the outrage mob.
>>736541618You absolutely can https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2ouiDmrF7U
>>736541618>he thinks you can't recognize niggers by their voice
>>736541668That's right.
>>736540935TWITTER WAS MERELY A SETBACK
>>736540935>character VA is accused of something during height of #MeToo hysteriaOne of the reasons Quinton Flynn didn't come back for No More Heroes 3.
>>736536780RIP trannydestroyer
>>736540935>they don't bother replacing Kaelthas in WC3 or Hots because it was just performative all alonglollmaoYet another Blizzard PR stunt that becomes a PR disaster
>>736537796>new VA does a pretty decent jobnobody says this
I thought Kiefer was great as Big Boss idk.I just wish I heard more of it.
>>736537796People have been saying this
>>736536780>the VA doesn't change in the sequel yet the voice is dogshit despite it being the same character
>>736538364>Voiced the same character for 30 years, never had any scheduling issues or controversies, and showed absolutely no sign of decline at allGOAT shit
>>736541981>reprises role after 20 years>has completely lost the ability to do the character well
>>736540718>Even the "good" ones were just nobodies with no actual acting training or experienceExcept when they did, like Tony Jay or Simon Templeman
>>736541930I think Kiefer was a perfect BB. Gruff, down to earth, masculine as hell. David Hayter was always awful.
>VA forgets how to do a character voice in between games
>>736537019>dub is linked to your console language setting>there's no option to change the language of the game directly, you have to change your console language
>>736538371No they didnt, its a different guy in md.
>VA gets fired for not showing up to work due to strike faggotry>played the MC of a popular gacha
>>736542541>gets paid what he is worth
>>736539346>knowing the voice of youtubers of ecelepsno anon, you are the disgust
>Formerly mute character is suddenly fully voiced>He has a different VA with each new game
>>736536780Megaman Legends 2 is unplayable for me because of this
>reading VN>MC is the only character who doesn't have a voiceI hate this more than anything else. My autism compels me to disable the voices of everyone in that scenario
>>736536780>change how the bots voice works>completely fucks it up by forcing it to be linked to the TEXT of the game>manually changing the files trigger the anticheat and breaks online
>>736542037Both britbongs. The poster I responded to mentioned all anglophone but it's mostly an american thing. Bongs are better about it.
>>736541515>mfw i found out about Samurai Jack's VACouldt immagine him having any other voice tho
>>736541515You used the wrong "whose", retard.
>>736536780>It's because the previous one died
>Writers/creators refuse to let the character age even though the story has been ongoing for many years>Actor clearly not young enough to do the voice anymoreI feel really bad for Japanese voice actors who are 50-60 years old and are still made to do high school kid voices because of this obsession with young casts.
>>736536996Fucking this. Burger dub is the worse thing of the earth.
>>736536981name 2.5 games where this happens?
>character VA goes NUCLEAR
>>736542050>>736541930>Sheshurfifed?>Keptyouwaitinghuh.Master? *chuckle*>What ARE you DOING here?>We'll make diamonds from their assesNo amount of gaslighting will make me accept Kiefer was a good snake voice.
>>736543885David brought it on himself.Keeping Old Snake's dying smoker voice when he was doing the much younger PW Big Boss was horrible.
>character VA discovers the truth about fruit flies and is blacklisted from the industry
>character VA is you name the game
>>736543686Dynasty Warriors 8 Xtreme Legends expansion changes Zhang Liao's voice throughout the whole game not just new missions. This DLC then becomes the ported/re-release version and the old voice remains lost PS3 media.Just compare https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cR3QZc4LyaUWith https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qe7ige0ojIMDynasty Warriors 5 Xtreme Legends expansion changes Guan Yu's voice for the new missions but keeps the old voice for vanilla missions, including the generic in-game lines, because this was a stand alone expansion back in the PS2 era where you had to combine discs instead of simply downloading DLCs. So depending on the mission he sounds different with XL content being additionally weird because his generic battle quotes are voiced with old actor while the new specific scripted lines have the new one.Dynasty Warriors 3 has Japanese battle quotes even in eng versions. So you hear Zhang Liao going "YAMADAAAA" in his high pitched Japanese voice whenever you musou attack but then suddenly talking in english when he defeats an officer lol
>>736544014>Keeping Old Snake's dying smoker voice when he was doing the much younger PW Big Boss was horribleIt wasn't his choice. He was specifically directed to do that. It also fucked up his throat.
>>736542050Yeah this, he was great in the tapes. For once he actually felt like a real character and not a Batman wannabe. Whoever's the retard who told Hayter to emulate throat cancer needs to get slapped.
>Live-service game>Specific character doesn't get new lines because of "issues" with the VA>VA comes back years later to do them
>>736537597>>publicly apologizes for the original voiceWhy? Did his soulless owners force him to do that? He doesn't seem like the kind of person who hates all fun and joy.
>>736536780Just AI them in
>>736536996Holy shit, this.A psychic assault.
>>736544610I genuinely think Hayter is behind this post.
>VA dies>the character is retired from the series
>>736541618Yes.
>>736541826was going to post this, probably the funniest way someone lost his voice role
>>736545753>record innitial lines>years pass>new chracters have all kinds of interactions>old characters are nearly mute
>character gets a different VA, but the original VA of that character is still in the game voicing another characterJust why. Looking at you Space Marine 2.
>>736536996>international versions forces english dub
>>736547292what the fuck, don't tell me it's Titus
>>736547535literally the only reason I haven't played the Siren games>japanese as fuck setting>entire game revolves around japanese myths >characters sound like they shit the queen
>>736538551Chinese genuinely feels horrible to listen to.
>>736541515John Galt as Lo Wang is gigakino, you pansy girl.
>>736547536Correct.
>>736547793Titus' voice was cast perfectly in the first game, what a shame
>>736536780That's a cute hairpin.
>>736546751>they bring the character back with a different VA just to cashgrab
>>736547938That's a butch lesbian tho.
>>736548042She just went super saiyan
>>736537019God I fucking despise this.
>>736536780Picrel is the most egregious example of this
>>736541254it's pretty egregious in the older mainline resi games lolClaire's the only one I can recall that actually carried over their VA from one game to another (2 and CV). Chris, Jill and Leon did not have a consistent VA
>>736537717does it? Some of the voicelines were offputting but I just assumed they were recorded at different times and then stitched together. Although some of the random stall NPCs who are also quest NPCs definitely change in the same paragraph.For the most part though, most of the side content crap dialogue just sounds like they gave VAs their 100 lines to read in no particular order and then put them together as needed. A well done AI honestly would have done it better.
>>736536780i only care about anime VAs
>>736536884ADUUUUUUUUHM
>>736536996>trailer for a cool JRPG comes out>it’s dubbed
>>736541387I've played games and switched their audio to gibberish korean just to get away from the trash American VAs. They got that tranny from Apex legends to do like 20 NPC voices in throne and liberty, and his voice is fucking disgusting. Don't worry, I stopped playing throne and liberty.
>>736537796This happened to my waifu and I’m so glad I managed to settle into the new voice
>>736538371I thought that was a different guy?
>>736536780Bayonetta 3 is non canon for this
>>736542032But I like DORYAH
>Series gains a respectable dub after a few mocked ones>Ends up being highly beloved, influences how English fans see some of the characters>It's mediocre and some of the characters' voices don't even match the archetypes
>>736536996This. I don't get why MGSR dialogue got so famous using the english dub? After playing with the Japanese audio hearing the english dub sounds so fucking campy and cringe I couldn't stand it. Raiden's dub is specially grating. It's all so tryhard it becomes cartoony and loses all authenticity and sovl
>>736539346>play game >find out later certain characters are voiced by real life celebrities>didn’t even know because i live under a rock>now i can’t help but hate the character because of previously unknown knowledge about their VAs
>>736549071If you couldn't tell before then it's not actually a problem. It's a problem when some literally who gets cast because some corpo thinks they're a celebrity and they put in a dogshit performance.
>MC from the first game now sounds like a chipmunk with a sore throat because they cut the voice acting budget
>>736541930this. Sometimes I’ll pull up a video compilation of all his lines and orgasm hands free
>>736542050David Hayter was only good in MGS1, maybe 2. He completely lost his voice by 3, and by 4 and PW he was genuinely unlistenable. An absolute joke compared to Otsuka. Kiefer mogs him, of course Kojima disposed of him in the first game where he actually gave a shit about the English VA.
>>736549139name two times this has happened and don't give me examples where they were forcing diversity and simply lying about their supposed praise of the actor
>Character switches VA>New VA does a decent job>I'm fine with it because all actors are just paid liarsFeels good not being autistic or japanese
>>736550295Two times what happened?
>>736539346This happened with ASMRs and the drop in quality was fucking insaneMost of them have no fucking idea what they're even doing
>>736539346>voice actor becomes a youtuber and makes a ton of content about the only character he was ever popular for
>>736539346>VA is a fucking ladder pulling faggot
>>736541668samurai jackbros don't look
>mfw I played Peach ShowtimeWHO IS THIS WOMAN
>>736541668Some you can't, some are very fucking obvious though.
>>736539346>interested in a game>announces vtumors as VAsThat's an instant unfollow from me, probably won't even bother pirating it.
>>736551365Usually you can tell but sometimes it's not incredibly obvious. I was surprised when I found out that Patches is voiced by a black guy. he does a great job.
>>736537657Atsuko Tanaka for Persona 5 the Phantom XMan, I miss her so much.
>VA sounds like absolute fucking ass>Any criticism of her is disregarded as coming from chuds and sexists Still seething about Ada in RE4R, her VA is absolute fucking garbage
>>736541668by dialect, yesby voice, rarely
>>736536780>it changes back to original in the third gameLe happy face
>>736537019Yup, that's a refund.
>>736540935Doesnt matter because WoW Kael is not real Kael. Especially not Shadowland's version of him.
>main character's voice actor changes mid cutscene or mid battle on a frequent basis because of all the new dialogue that was added in the enhanced version they couldn't be assed to get the original VA back forHilarious, good thing I'm not a dubfag.
>>736551920New Yuri sounds like he has a cold. What is it with Scamco and picking the most nasally-sounding replacement VAs possible
>character has new lines in the remaster>game uses old VA for the original lines and new VA for the new lines>old VA was never even told the remaster was happening and would have eagerly joined if they had offered it
>>736551920They never even asked Troy to come back. He said he would've done it.
>voice actor dies>use only archived recordings going forwardI really don't understand VA fans or this reverence
>>736551920>name a character after voice actor Yuri Lowenthal>give the role to Troy Baker
>>736543885Hayter only did a good job in MGS1/2Twin Snakes whole cast redub was abysmal dogshit (just like the whole game) and MGS3 onwards Snakes sound plain bad
>>736536780>dub VA was murdered>character gets written out of relevancy
>>736553528Name 3 games.
>>736553664heavenswardstormbloodendwalker
>>736536996>normies use the English dub for the sole reason that they don't want to read subtitlesActual subhuman filth. How in the fuck can you put up with these horrendous voices just to not have to deal with the infinitesimal inconvenience of reading subtitles? You have 10x the necessary time to read them for fucks sake.
>>736537937>game only has 5 voice actors for 1000 NPCs >they don't even try to talk differently at allThis shit is just lazy. They use the same tone, volume, cadence, and just the same exact voice. They're supposed to be Voice Actors. ACTORS. If a real actor has to play several different characters, he doesn't just do the same thing 5 different times.
>>736553960>actually 3 different peopledubbing is so funny
>>736536780>Humor:Japan
>>736541515>something that was never a problem for half a century suddenly became a problem we desperately need to fix NOW>voice acting as a whole has gotten markedly worse as a resultWe did it, reddit!
>>736541659>because some Literally Who jeet was butthurt over Apu on The SimpsonsReminder that this jeet did all of it because HE wanted to voice the character and The Simpsons just killed the character off instead of cowtowing.
>>736541659It's largely due to this yankee cunt>campaigns for white people not to be allowed to play non-white roles>studios cave>studios also stop anyone from playing any character that isnt their own race>he's now butthurt that his available work has massively reduced due to being cast as Asian roles only
>>736554869Imagine being a VOICE ACTOR and complaining that there's too much variability and freedom in your potential roles.>Wow! I can voice a character of any race, mystical races, even voice androids/robots or computers?! >NO. I AM AN ASIAN MAN SO I VOICE WESTERN ASIAN MEN ONLY. THIS IS THE ONLY ROLE I WANT TO VOICE.
>>736554972I honestly believe he thought studios would ban white people from non-white roles but continue to allow non whites to play white roles, therefore eliminating competition from asian roles but also keeping the other roles open to him.
>VA changes in the remake>it's WAY WORSEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51BTurKzWYs
>>736554972These people are only popular because they keep inserting themselves into dramaHe was pushing for race centric roles because that's popular with his fanbase, just never expected to backfire into him
>>736555104>say voice actors should be cast according to their race>effectively box yourself into only playing Western Asian Males forever and everWell, well, well. If it isn't the consequences of my own actions.
>>736536780>character VA dies>games reuses old voice lines from various other gamesWhile Gundam does this a lot, they have also replaced some VA's for characters.
