He should have yelled "Get Bent!!" at her. She would have sobbed uncontrollably.

The actress that does Elizabeth's voice sure is a looker.

Ken Levine and the voice actors seem to be doing some really great work. I love me some Troy Baker.

That's a effective way to make someone cry.

She's not that good but than again she's a screen actor, not a voice actor.

You know what was a great game? BioShock 2. You know what I've already had too much of? BioShock 3. Even the voice actors don't seem as interesting as the previous game.

What an interesting job to have. Not something just anybody could do.

Ken Levine needs to back off sometimes. He wants a reaction, but it doesn't fit the moment. Then the animators dress it up with all this gaudy character animation which has no bearing on the performance.

The only thing genuine was the VA's face in that first performance. The animators ruined it with all their bullshit dressing, like adding rims and a flame job to a Shelby Cobra.

She was right, too, he totally berates her and then gets that reaction, and then the following moment is softness, detached from everything prior. It's a reaction for the sake of a reaction.

Perhaps I'm being too critical of an unfinished product, but I've seen nothing of the story elements in this game that really grab me. Just a bunch of dressed up tripe around something that could be very good if just let to shine on its own.

Also, the scene where they get the voice actor to cry was great, I hope there is a lot of this in the game. By that I mean a lot of highly emotional scenes.

More game developers should take the time to give their actors the recognition they deserve. And not just the big ones, the relative unknowns like these two. That was awesome.

Seeing the lack of emotion in the characters faces is quite disheartening.
