Deb... oh Deb, i love you so~The Madman said:
the Radio sequences are great examples of Voice Acting, just because they get about everyone in them... and the Tshimizhe talking to Deb is just a great sequence XD
otherwise i'd say, for the sake of fangirling, Kate Mulgrew as Flemeth and Simon Templeman as Loghain... okay him actually as Kain from Legacy of Kain series more, but for the sake of fangirling, i just like that those two are in the same game, and like to think of it as Captain Janeway and Kain bitching back and forth behind the scenes XD
god i want to go play Soul Reaver and anything else from Legacy of Kain now *sniffs*Glongpre said:I concur. The voices are amazing.Nightvalien said:
Kain is awesome.
Raziel is awesome.
Elder God is awesome.
Secondary characters are awesome.
/thread
That theme is amazing!
yea, every voice in it is freakin' good, not to mention the music scores too, for all the games... though i'm torn between who's 'better', Kain's VA or Squiddy's (Elder God) VA... i'm kinda leaning towards Squiddy, since he put so much emotion into a literal inhuman ELDER GOD
VAE VICTIS!!
He's been in lots of things, I know he did the voice of the villain in the Princess and the Frog Disney movie, he was in Modern Warfare 2 as the sergeant who kept saying "Ramirez! Do everything!", and I heard he did a voice in Mass Effect, although I haven't played the series so I wouldn't know.cojo965 said:
I'm sure IMDB will have much more info if you're curious.
Fknal Fantasy 7. The dude that voiced....no, nevermind. I had something and then I forgot it. Bollocks.
To this day, with all the AAA games released often enough, and some of them actually being really good, (Last of Us was mad), no game though has ever come as close as The Darkness back in...I wanna say 07? Not only was Mike Patton absolutely glorious as the titular character, everyone else in that game was perfect.
And then there was this scene. Warning, spoilers from a 6 year old game follows.

And if you want to get a visual, watch "They Live". You can see him and "Rowdy" Roddy Piper punch it up for a solid ten minutes in that notorious fight scene.Hero of Lime said:
Recently, he was also the Iman in "Pitch Black" and "Chronicles of Riddick".
On topic, I have agree with the comments about "Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines".
It's the top notch voice acting that makes the game so immersive. Even the minor characters like "Bishop Vick" and the creepy Asian shopkeeper in Chinatown are completely brought to life by the performances.
The Last of Us has really really impressive voicework and direction. There are probably things that are better in a thespian sense, but as far as realistic acting goes I would go as far as to say it's got the best I've heard. Naughty Dog was really good with that in uncharted as well but the subject matter didn't bring it into quite as bold situations.

The only good eldar is a dead eldar. Die well.
Sturnn needs a comeback.
Also Goliath in Gargoyles and Tombstone in Spectacular Spider Man. His voice is pretty distinctive, perfect for powerful broody characters.Zen Bard said:
He's gonna have to be, being dead and all.Nightvalien said:
But yes, some of the best voice-work I've heard in games is that of the work done in Legacy of Kain, the dark almost-Shakespearean talent of men who have probably done playwrite acting in the past. Cultured, decent acting voices.
