To this day, I cannot fathom what made Tomb Raider popular enough to become a cultural phenomenon in the mid-nineties. Bad acting, clunky gameplay, chunky graphics, hokey story, what the hell man?Guijllons said:The Tombraider games were so badly acted that I'm not even sure they count. Tombraider Chronicles I think it was, terrible, contains the worst french accent I've ever heard anywhere.
I've never really played the Metal Gear Solid series intensively, but you're right on the money there. I think Hayter's even better when he uses the same self-serious gravelly voice for discussing things as mundane as food.Guijllons said:Best, Metal Gear, easy.
(And no-one start knocking David Hayters melodrama, that's what makes it so good)

Unless of course it's supposed to be funny. I liked Sam and Max's idea of a speech impediment: a mystical spoon-bending swami who cusses a lot. Almost every word was a loud bleep. Now THAT's a speech impediment.Doc Comic said:Seriously, I can't take a protagonist seriously if he says everything in the same tone of voice and if he has a HUGE FREAKING SPEECH IMPEDIMENT THAT PISSES ME OFF TO NO END.

You should play LucasArts adventure games. They've got excellent voice acting and equally excellent stories.compound said:I have completely biased video-gaming habits -- I almost exclusively play adventure games, especially in the last decade or so, when that genre appeared to be in decline, so I don't play as much..
They employed two improv comedians for the voice acting, it does work exceptionally well.ourchair said:The Sims 2 has fantastic voice acting. You can really feel the emotion there. Those voice actors must be into method acting.
