Did anyone notice how the voice acting in Far Cry 2 is really awful.
They talk so fast and with no emotion that you just dont give a shit what they are saying.
You can see a bit of really bad voice work in here: After 40 seconds.
Far Cry 2
Game » consists of 16 releases. Released Oct 21, 2008
The sequel to the original Far Cry dispenses with Jack Carver, and moves the action to a war-consumed Africa complete with an open-ended storyline involving civil war, several hours of missions, heated gunplay, and a slew of dynamic elements powered by a new engine.
Voice Acting - Really Terrible
"Bad voice acting is tolerable...some of the other design choices aren't so tolerable."Agreed. What is the fucking point of having to pop malaria pills? I get it, my guy is sick. But that doesnt stop me from running and gunning all over the place. It doesnt serve much of a point other than causing my guy to stop in the middle of a gun fight and pull out a bottle. Oh, doing that last night locked up my system. Fucking stupid.
Yes, Farcry 2's voice acting is terrible. The rate at which they speak is ridiculous. I gave up listening after a few hours.
"I like the voice acting in Far Cry 2. I especially like the autthentic Africaans accents.No no. They dont have any emotion, talk ridiculously fast and the accents are ruined by these things.I remember some MSG3 voice acting to be cringe-worthy."
It's not that bad. It isn't anything special, but I wouldn't call it terrible by any means. I would call it generic, nothing more and nothing less.
this game is terrible in every aspect except for graphics .
the Voice acting in Far Cry 2 was the most terrible Voice acting I have ever heard in any Video games and pretty much anything .
I love this game (HATERS! YOU ARE ALL A BUNCH OF HATERS!), but I agree that the voice acting is awful. The Jackal is especially poor.
"I laughed at the Mass Effect clip when Shepard started talking. He sounds all nasal-y and French."
You think that Mass Effect has bad voice acting...? Seriously?

"BiggerBomb said:I was talking about the clip in Meowayne's post, not the actual game. The voice acting in the English version of that game was awesome, but not so much in the German version."Bulldog19892 said:I think that Mass Effect VAing is great, but that clip he's talking about has French (or something) VAing so that could be the problem.""I laughed at the Mass Effect clip when Shepard started talking.

Ah, ok. My mistake.
If you want some bad VAing...just check out Spider-Man: Web of Shadows.
"If you want some bad VAing...just check out Spider-Man: Web of Shadows."
So I have heard...
"Kush said:And that video only shows how bad the writing is...that video is almost a high point for the VAing in that game."If you want some bad VAing...just check out Spider-Man: Web of Shadows."

Is that really a conversation in the game?
"BiggerBomb said:"Is that really a conversation in the game?"That is 100% unedited footage I took directly from the game...I honestly couldn't believe it when I heard it the first time which is why I had to record it and show it to the world."
And to think we were excited for this game...
>.<
"BiggerBomb said:"And to think we were excited for this game...I played through that whole game hoping that things would eventually change for the better, but they didn't...and on topic, the VAing just got progressively worse."
>.<"
The worst voice acting I have seen was in UT3. If you played it, could you make a comparison? That might put things into perspective for me...
"The worst voice acting I have seen was in UT3. If you played it, could you make a comparison? That might put things into perspective for me..."I think the bad VAing in UT3 is tolerable and to be expected...the game isn't about a story or VAing at all, but WoS was supposed to be heavily driven by story, but the VAing (and writing) were so bad that any attempt at a good story was impossible. I wouldn't say that it's as bad as UT3, but I don't really think much time and effort was put into getting good voice work for that game, unlike WoS.

Ahh, ok. I get what you mean about UT3 though, but in this day & age voice acting that horrible is unacceptable. Kinda like webs not sticking to buildings...*coughhintcough*
"Ahh, ok. I get what you mean about UT3 though, but in this day & age voice acting that horrible is unacceptable.

"If you want some bad VAing...just check out Spider-Man: Web of Shadows."lol , yeah it was really absurd
