Danika=Worse than stupid Rurik

On a slightly related note...

QFT. I also hate the little boy in Minister Cho's Estate.

Recap of events: Little boy watches his father's friends go insane and start killing each other in a gory bloodfest. He seeks refuge with a man he trusts, Minister Cho, only to find that he has become a hideous growling beast, who is shortly thereafter slain by strange people who draw penises all over the minimap.
Minister Cho: Why are you crying?
Um...does that question really need to be asked? lol. That little boy has some of the worst voice acting. It's on the same level of mediocrity as the Fortune Teller, in my opinion. Shiro is also quite terrible, although 1 or 2 things are done alright. Frankly, most of the time Shiro sounds to dense to think up such a devious scheme on his own. I think Gwen must have helped him

I actually don't think Togo is all that bad.

I thought the Seer rocked. They had that crazy etheral voice that made them sound insane. I love it.

What are you talking about? Danika is the best tank evar!

I thought all but Mhenlo's voice acting in Factions was pretty bad, x.x

my ears will bleed if i hear that again
worst cinematic ever.

I haven't heard Danika's sweet, melodic voice in a while. When I do, it lightens my burdens and sets my heart soaring! Ahhhh...to hear it again would be pure bliss! Fortunately, I have a chalkboard that I can scrape my nails across whenever I start missing hearing Danika speak!

Oh, the joys of playing with sounds off....



^^

Mhenlo was okay. At least he didn't sound out of place, like Danika. Count zu Heltzer sounded more or less as I would've wanted him to sound, Elder Rhea was okay.

Shiro's problem wasn't really his voice acting, it was his stupid emote whenever he laughed. His knee-slapping laugh always made me think he was suddenly gonna shout, "Hah, just joking!"

When it comes to GW voice acting, most of it is rather mediocre.Exept for Visu because she was done by someone of the Vampire the masquerade:Bloodlines cast and those actors were absoluteley top of the line.

A lot of the voice acting is good. The problem is more the scripts and the lack of character body language.

Indeed! :P

I have never heard any of the npcs speak, but reading this thread made me want to turn my volume on and go do the Arborstone mission.

Danika's voice itself wasn't horrible... the acting + the horrendous dialogue is what's at fault. Shiro sounded well... literally stupid... the things he says doesn't even match his character from the lore.

Tell me this, when you all first watched the opening cinematic (the one on the CD) did you expect Shiro to sound like he does in-game? Did you expect the dialogue to be so awful?

In-terms of dialogue, Prophecies was slightly better... but still pretty bad. Pretty sure the budget spent on script-writers was pretty low.

Vizier/Lich was pretty good

Damn >.< double post. :/ sorry.

Funniest thing i have seen in a while

Ive never actually gone past Marketplace in Factions O.o .. i was never that dedicated to it..
Prophecies is so much better (if ive been told correctly)

chapter1 is farrrrr superior

most of the voices in this game are lame imo..playing with the sound off is the only option

close, but not as bad as 'all your base' cinematic, which was SO bad, it became famous

Only good thing about Prince Rurik is when you get to knock him one in the skull.

Mhm. Btw, that picture was from the Prophecies Beta in the northern Shiverpeaks, when he was leading everyone through the pass and you had to complete the mission before he was overwhelmed... too bad that happened almost instantly.

Also, I have not turned GW sounds on in... a year? more? Ive NEVER heard Factions music, and think that ANet must be on crack to expect me to pay them for more music.

I wasn't commenting on thee picture. My post was in reference to the cinematic at hells precipice or whichever mission its called.
