WORST VOICE ACTOR EVER

[Zeema]

Is Just Cause 2 supposed to be bad? Like a cheesy B-movie? If not, it's shameful by modern standards..

Main Guy "They tell me I'm the best"

Leader woman "Oh yes, I bet you are"

Main Guy "I'm gonna make stuff go bang now"

Leader woman "Yes, do that now please it good."

I was playing the demo, and that's how I remember the exchange at the start. I can't play it again because I find the stilted dialogue and wooden delivery (on a par with any of the under-30's in the Star Wars prequels) too embarrassing to watch again. Damn its unskippability.

EDIT: Oh, and I think her name is Bolo as well. That just reminded me of the Gorilla from The Mighty Boosh, which doesn't help anyone's credibility as a freedom fighter. Although, Gorilla/Guerrilla.. I'm going to abandon this train of thought before it drives me mad.

although I agree that Just Cause 2 has the worst voice acting in a game I ever played. I still had fun playing it because of blowing shit up

By the end of that game every time a character said something all i would hear was 'Blow Stuff Up'

 

[Aleate]

Ha, good timing on this thread. Atm, I need to go with the guy who did the voice for Terra in Birth By Sleep. Omg he sucks so much...

 

[Ithikial]

Jay Franke as JC Denton.

"What a Shame."

"A Bomb!"

So bad it's good.

I could live with JC. It was part of the character, a blank slate, monotonous with no emotion, just gets the job done. But yeah the "A bomb" line was the a bit off. But he was redeemed at the end "You're gonna burn alright."

Same voice actor did Paul as well.

 

[LawlessSquirrel]

I would say the first Silent Hill. I know, kinda old so standards were different then, but there were times where it would make me laugh rather than immerse me in the fear. There's a similarly bad one in early Silent Hill 3 that doesn't get the 'times were different then' excuse.

EDIT: Oh, oh! The targets you hunt down in Tenchu Z. At least one of them sounded like he was making a silly voice to amuse toddlers, but did it in a completely seriously way.

 

[Hayate_GT]

i got one for ya...not a game (hentai actually) but it's so bad it must be mentioned...

the english dub for Bible Black...the entire cast...WOW THAT WAS TERRIBLE...

most unsexy thing EVAR...

 

[omegawyrm]

That would be a okay justification if that were the only little ***** character he did. But it is not.
Shinji may have been a whiney little whore who was designed to get on everyones nerves so much they just want to shove his face in a blender but then you listen to other characters the dude does and they are ALL shinji. Even those who are meant to have testicles sound exactly (and due to shitty animes lack of originality, look exactly) like Shinji.

*twitch* OK........ *deep breath* let's just agree to disagree here.



More on topic, Mei Ling's ridiculously thick Chinese accent in the original Metal Gear Solid was both badly acted and made no sense, because she was supposed to have been studying at MIT for her entire mature life.

Nastasha's bad Russian accent was even thicker and sillier, but was at least slightly more justified.

(Just one of the reasons Twin Snakes was great)

 

[Aphex Demon]

Whoever did Ayumi from X Blades, which is American if I'm correct, was horribly miscast. The second she starts speaking in that valley girl accent, it sucks you right out of the game and makes you hate her.

"I am, like, totally the greatest treasure hunter EVAH! For realz, you guys! LOL! Look at my ass!"

Well, the original Resident Evil is notoriously horrible for several performances.

WHAT? WHAT IS THIS?! Oh my COD! Just - take - a - look - at - this! Resident Evil was a voice acting SANDWICH!

Hahahaha, "RUN GILL, HES INSANE, WHAT THE HELL!?"

 

[infinity_turtles]

Now, that's just not fair. You can't just disqualify the top tier competitors like this
Wait, nevermind. Last Alert and Final Zone 2 aren't based on an anime(that i know of), and are top down shooters. Their dubs are worse than Chaos Wars. No contest.

 

[Vrex360]

I only saw one brief clip but in that Saw game there was a lady tied to a chair who was supposedly pleading for her life desperately but she spoke with no emotion whatsoever and spaced out her words ridiculously slowly. Creating an image of someone unemotive who is thinking really hard about every single word they are saying.
Or a robot.

 

[captaincabbage]

Well, the original Resident Evil is notoriously horrible for several performances.

I know you said no anime, but the worst I've ever been offended by a voice actor was the two main characters in the english dub of Revolutionary Girl Utena.

Dude, best to expand that description to all of the Resident Evil games. It's not exactly pulitzer material, but goddamnit it's funny ^^


OT: I personally reckon that Resident Evil 5 has to take the cake for this one. The writing AND acting were so monumentally bad that it made you laugh your arse off.

Actually scratch that and make that all Capcom games.

Just off the top of my head, Devil May Cry 3 and 4 had some awesome voices, particularly for the main character (interesting considering how radically different he is across the timeskip). And Dead Rising was OK most of the time.

I'm not sure which characters you're thinking of, but all the ones that come to mind in the DMC games are hilariously atrocious.
Ooh, bad call on Dead Rising. I would have given that one the coveted Polished Turd Award for most hilariously bad voice acting of the year. XD

 

[Deadlock Radium]

Edward Chili Con Carnby from Alone in the Dark.
Seriously, he wins bad voice acting because of his tendency to say "fuck" and "hell" and "fucking hell" at least twice each sentence.

Not sure what your standards are, but Dante, Vergil, and Lady all had very memorable parts in DMC3 that were a lot of fun. For DMC4 Dante sounded very cool as an older and more mature badass and Nero took over the young angry guy role competently. As for for Dead Rising, Frank has the most dialogue obviously and he sounds just fine, just that he's a bit of a weirdo.

I just don't see the point in saying that ALL Capcom games have bad voice acting, that's not in the spirit of the discussion.

 

[Super Toast]

Agent Nahmen Jayden is a fucking asshole!

 

[GunstarHero]

I don't know if this counts, since it was probably more the script, littered with expletives in place of actual dialogue, but Bionic Commando.. Jeez, what a terrible character!

 

[Buizel91]

"My name is Bolo Santosi...I am leadeeer of the revolutionary army known as the Reapeeers"

Do i win?

 

[garfoldsomeoneelse]

Every localized Capcom game is a veritable hive of horrible voice acting.

 

[Ldude893]

Ace Combat 6. Dear god, the cutscenes.
