Games with the worst voice acting in the world.

[Canadamus Prime]

"I'M THE PRESIDENT OF THIS GREAT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!11!!11!"

Yeah, that was pretty bad, but I get the feeling that it was done that way intentionally.

 

[Zhukov]

Don't know about "worst", but whenever someone mentions games with bad voice acting, the words "Just Cause 2" appear in my mind in great blazing letters.

 

[Soviet Heavy]

I would say Killzone 3. Not because it was bad, it was because it just sounded off.

Also Fallout NV. It had a few bland voices that were just reused way too much. Matthew Perry was a nice touch though.

I thought Call of Duty had some pretty good voice acting. Well except Black Ops.

I think the problem with the Killzone games has nothing to do with the voice acting itself, but the lip syncing. It's always a half second too late, and their mouths hang open a bit too much.

Except for Natko in KZ2. He was just pure terrible.

HAAAHAHAHAAAAA..HAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...

Final Fantasy X.

I love that game, and to be honest, I thought the voice acting wasn't so bad, but that laugh made me cringe just a little, and I understand the context of it!
In retrospect it was just kinda funny.

Tidus can be a little bit of a douche though, but I guess we all can at times!

Resident Evil 1, it's so bad it's laughable. Here's an example:

*gun shot* What is it?!

*sees blood on floor* "What is it?!" "Blood"

*undead comes towards them* "Barry! It's a monster" *Barry brings death to the undead* "What is it?!"

*guy has a huge snake bite on his shoulder and is dying, blood squirts out of wound* "... ouch!"

...yeah. Maybe they sound tame here, but when you actually play the game and hear them spoken... uggh, facepalms abound.

Barry Burton made that game. He wasn't around often but when he was he always knew how to lighten the mood:


I was going to mention the CD-I Zelda games (or maybe just CD-I games in general) but Resident Evil is just such a massive pile of...I don't know what. I loved the game but the voice acting is atrocious. Almost makes me want to barf up a Jill Sandwich.

Apart from the already mentioned; Just Cause 2 suffers from pretty damn poor voice acting.
Been a few years since I played it now, but I remember cringing every time the communist leader spoke.

 

[Balkan]

Just cause 2 and maybe The saboteur . Sean has a cool voice but everyone else is just shit .

 

[Zebidizy]

two worlds...worst voice acting i have ever heard

 

[Pappytech]

Robot. Alchemic. Drive.

 

[CD-R]

Yeah that Soulstorm expansion had amazingly bad voice acting. It's so bad it's good actually.

SPESS MAHREENS!


And the phrasing of the "we shall not die! No!" etc is really weird in my opinion.

Oh and sometimes Cap. Price in the MW games. Just because they make him use certain wording/phrases that an person born and raised in the UK would be unlikely to use. Doubt anyone outside the UK would notice that though.

Indrick Boreale's epic NO has spawned a whole series of hilarious videos.

These are my personal favorites

Spoiler

I want Relic to bring Boreale back in their next Warhammer 40k game. I don't care how.

 

[Gatx]

Gotcha Force's voice acting is pretty bad but also endearing in a strange way.

 

[Proverbial Jon]

You can't make a thread about bad voice acting without mentioning anything about House of the Dead 2.

Thank you so much for linking to that, I needed a good laugh.

"The door of fate... shall open." *Creeeaaak*

Laughed so hard at that.

Don't know about "worst", but whenever someone mentions games with bad voice acting, the words "Just Cause 2" appear in my mind in great blazing letters.

Funny, I've only just noticed that Tom Sheldon's voice really reminds me of Pey'j from Beyond Good and Evil, you know, if he were really obnoxious and unlikable.

Barry Burton made that game. He wasn't around often but when he was he always knew how to lighten the mood:

Damn, Resi had some really terrible voice acting moments but I seriously think the script was the real issue. I mean who wrote this nonsense?

Barry: "How about going down to check by yourself? I have a rope here."
Jill: "Oh do you? Then I'll try to go down using the rope!"

Wait, what? Just now you were saying how you couldn't see down there... now you're just going to go down there... alone? Because Barry told you to?

Barry: "Wait! I'll go and get another rope!"

From where, your endless rope supply cupboard?

Geez...

OT: How has this not made it here yet?

 

[zefiris]

The german version of Grandia 1.

How bad is it? Well, at one point, the game has english and german dialogue at THE SAME TIME. Both german and english actors are also subpar, making the end result a terrible mess.

 

[Woodsey]

Bolo Santosi,
There is no other!
Only she.

 

[Variable X]

Megaman X4, my god, Megaman X4. Probably once of my favorites in the series, everything about that game was amazing except for it's English voice acting. X sounded like he was a 6 year old boy, Zero couldn't control his talking volume or speed (forgot parts of words too), Iris was passable thought a little flat vocally. Just on the whole the VA work was bad. Surely you remember "What am I fighting fooooor?!"

Final Fantasy X.

Believe it or not, the Japanese version sounds worse. I've heard people say Tidus sounds like a goose.

OT: Puff from Devil Kings. Such... an... annoyingly... awful... voice...

Holy shitsauce! He really does sound like a goose! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAgVjH9V9Ps

How has noone mentioned this yet?
