worst videogame voice acting moments? every jrpg ever | |
My favorite horrible voice acting moment ever: | |
...I won't get started. I just won't. OT: I'm actually surprised Chaos Wars didn't get more places in this countdown. I've heard excerpts from that game, and I wanted to cry from laughing so hard. I love #35, 'cause it sounds like The guy almost flubbed his line. | |
Wrong. Just this one: | |
That was fantastic, although I'm a little perplexed... ...how the hell is ^that^ not on the list... | |
It's even bad in japanese... | |
Oh, man. There are some classics in there. | |
I have been fortunate. Myself, I have not run across any games on PC that have horrible voice acting. I'm not sure why, but to me it seems PC gaming as a whole has better voice acting on average. That aside, I would like to say MGS4. Based on simply the videos I've seen, the voice acting seems sub-par. Along with the bad writing. | |
Woo! House of the dead 2! | |
IF YOU WON'T BE A PRISONER OF FATE, THEN FULFILL YOUR DESTINY lolwut. also i skipped about every cutscene when i played mgs4. the horror, the horror... | |
Metal Gear. Metal Gear? Metal Gear! All right so it's more bad script, but the absolute over the topness of most of MGS dialogue makes me chuckle | |
Is that microsoft sam laughing? | |
Oh no somethings coming! Lolz | |
It sounded bad purposely. | |
well much as i'm tempted to nominate some engrish for the lolz i think my personal worst is wesker and chris at the end of resident evil 1 diccussing wesker keeps his tone almost amused through the entire thing, when chris starts to laugh, it sounds as if wesker is about to as well, in fact it sounds as if they're having a mildly pleasant conversation with a friend they've bumped into in the street. | |
are we forgetting the most idiotic line ever delivered? "BROOOOOTHERRRR!!!" its not really the line but the way its delivered and i mean the one from the original mgs. | |
The reason that's so bad is because the laughing is SUPPOSED to sound forced. Tidus is trying to get Yuna to simply laugh off her troubles, and he gives an exaggerated demonstration of how to laugh as a bit of a joke. | |
Keepsake (for the PC) should have been there somewhere. Truly some of the worst voice acting EVAR. http://www.gametrailers.com/video/trailer-keepsake/8906 Nathaniel (the guy in the trailer) constantly sounds like he's about to die from a Sominex overdose and the character Mustavio's accent is so over-the-top that I'm amazed the Italian Anti-Defamation League didn't sue them :P | |
whats going on with number one? "mankind must live,ffffffffffffff.......fffffffffffffffffffffffffff" | |
I'll say because it's not really bad acting, it's just a very bad idea. | |
Or pretty much *anything* from the original Resident Evil... It saddens me that they only put that 1 clip on 50. There were way worse in the game | |
"Now, bear my arctic blast!" - My new Xbox Profile tagline, it would seem. | |
That was the worst scene of any Final Fantasy ever. I'm pretty sure that can be safely said. | |
i'm kinda shocked there wasn't more resident evil clips in there | |
How about the ODST intro cutscene? That was baaaaaad. Really really bad. | |
Lol "Cooking mama 2 - Cooking with Friends!" | |
#1: Game made by Hudson Soft. That is all. | |
Haven't heard any dreadful voice acting recently, but a game has to reach Tail Concerto levels before I start to notice. One of my first experiences with laughable voice acting was Blaster Master: Blasting Again, particularly Eve. | |
michigan: a report from hell a body falls out of a closet the newscaster screams about eight seconds later the sound guy screams. hilarious for some reason. | |
Really that should've been number one, Tidus' laugh sounds like a seagull in a trash compactor. OP: I'm suprised more Operation: Winback quotes weren't on there, the dialogue in that game is just...awful. | |
I laughed at the "la la la la la la!" one. Also #5 was priceless. | |
*spoilers in this video* This game had some of the worst voice acting ever. It just ruins any immersion you could've gotten from the game. | |
wtf? No Max Payne? that part in the second one when his wife dies he goes "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" was so hilariously lame. I would give you a link but i can't find one.
that wasn't really bad voice acting so much as it was bad writing and execution | |

50 Worst Videogame Voice Acting Moments
If you've been playing games for any length of time, it is likely that you've experienced some of the worst voice acting ever recorded by human beings.
An assiduous YouTube poster, dirtFilledCoffin, has compiled his collection of the fifty worst videogame voice acting moments currently posted on audioatrocities.com. The list of clips in the video is by no means exhaustive, but it is definitely worth a listen to truly appreciate bad acting in all its glory. Here are some of my favorites:
These are just a few of the gems in the video. You really should listen to them all.
It's difficult to say whether these bits are bad because of the actors or the sub-par writing. It's a combination of both, really. Many of the games on the list are Japanese imports, so it is safe to say that these clips are the result of poor culture/language translation on top of poor acting. Forgivable, sure, but it makes for a good chuckle or two.
Audioatrocities.com is a self-described online museum with for awful voiceover acting in videogames from the Turbo Graphx 16, the first console with CD quality sound, to the present day consoles. The site appears to be in the growing stage, with only about 60 games listed with each having 10 or 20 soundbites of truly deplorable acting. The list is heavily skewed to Playstation and Turbographix 16 titles at the moment and I'm sure they would welcome any submissions.
With so many Hollywood stars voicing videogames, I'd like to say that voice acting has improved significantly from when most of these games were made. That isn't exactly true, unfortunately. I'm sure you have encountered some terrible acting in 2009. Pretty much anything from Wet or whatever comes out of Welch's mouth in Star Ocean IV come to mind. What are some the amazingly abhorrent voice acting lines you've heard recently in games?
