While bad voice acting rightfully gets the living tar kicked out of it, I must admit that I am very appreciative of bad voice acting for the limitless laughs it provides us. My PSN friends and I dick around while playing deathmatch by pulling out numerous one-liners to help the emotional flow of the game; and while movies provide great, cheesy lines, we definitely would have much less ammo.

To help pass the time here under the starry skies of central Texas, I present to you two particularly enjoyable videos for me. The first comes from a classic venture in bad voice acting, Mega Man 8. To this day, fans are baffled at the choice of voice for Dr. Light, but I couldn't imagine a life without it. (If you pay attention to 0:22, you'll notice that the actor actually screws up his line, but the voices director didn't care enough to make them re-do the scene!)



The second video comes from a recent masterpiece, Heavy Rain. True to Quanticdream's style, the game's fantastic engine/platform and interactive cinema is ruined by David Cage's lackluster writing and voice casting. This video in general is a tongue-in-cheek jab at Heavy Rain, and you'll see some other funny bits interposed in it.



Love it? I know I sure do. ^_^

The Tenchu series takes the cake for me.

Have you ever been on the website Audio Atrocities?

It's a collection of soundbytes containing some of the worst voice acting committed to videogames. They don't update as regularly as they used to back in the day, but I'm sure you'll find something hilarious in there.

Daaaaammmmeeeet!
Man, I wish Heavy Rain was a platform, with other studios taking a crack at this ormat for interactive fiction...

Also, I'm mostly unable to perceive bad voice acting.
Yeah, bad voice acting can be fun if you're in the right mood for it! The worst thing for me is some of the RPG's where you even get to pick your character's voice... only you don't realize that they are going to be saying the same thing over and over and over again. It seemed funny when you picked that voice, but halfway through the game you just want to mute yourself!
Oh yes. I was going to drop some Two Worlds action on you, but you can check it out at Stevil's link. Lousy voice acting can ruin a great game - and make a bad one great.
