LOL!!!!

On the matter of the thread, yes, voice acting can be a real plus to a game. Even IA voices can do, but most of the time it sound so plane and unemotional

As long as its ACTUAL voices and not TTS bullshit, I'm fine with it for the most part. I usually turn it off in most games, especially if the Dev is VAing themselves and dont really... fit(?) the character accent wise (i.e someone with a heavily eastern European accent voicing an Asian or American character for instance) but theres been a few games with some voice acting where I actually leave it on such as Projekt Passion.

Yes I love voice acting in games, especially adult ones. It doesn’t feel the same without the moaning haha.

 

[synthetic_man]

Of course. I haven't played any with full voice acting but I've seen some with moans and the like during explicit scenes.

 

[runebutt]

I like it if it's there but I don't like VN's and such ballooning to huge sizes like 10-30+ GB because every line is voiced in a 60 hour story

I personally think it can be overdone. Voice acting during porn scenes is good but voice acting during normal conversation (like what 'Lust Theory' does) feels a waste because I read a lot faster than they speak which just means I skip all the effort put in.

No,No,No

AI generated Voices - Big No. HELL NO. The technology is simply not there, when that happens, sure.

Actual sexy Voice Actors, yeah, sure. IF it is very good and helps the overall tone. I argue that the protagonist should always be silent. They have the most conversations and if the voice is not to your liking you are stuck with it for the whole experience.

If you're asking games in general then yes, if it's adult VN games; I've played them muted most of the time since the majority of them only had generic music or no audio at all, and unless it's actual voice acting it's going to stay muted.

These games have sound?

I usually have the sound turned down so low that any voice acting there may be is barely heard, besides, I can read faster than the actor can deliver their lines of dialogue so it's a bother having to wait for them to finish speaking.

 

[paudemel]

if is AI voice then i would rather be deaf

 

[AlBetGam]

Not usually. The voice actors rarely sound like the voice I mentally read the character's words in, and I usually prefer the latter. Plus, as someone else said, I read way faster than they talk.

Double that opinion if it's an AI voice, which still aren't very good.

 

[scrapdragon]

for the state-of-the-art technology of TTS, I will say unless it is real VA, we may still avoid that.

also, I would like to specify that the MC should never be voiced over.

Yes, character 3x better instantly. 5x if japanese ^^

 

[runebutt]

I finished playing Paradise Lust recently that has voice acted moans and such during dirty scenes but it starts up immediately when the scene begins so you get heavy panting/moaning before anything has happened in the scene. Haven't even touched them and they're sounding like that.

JP games don't mess up that often when they do VA at least

After being reminded of Japanese VA's I need to revise my earlier statement. Japanese VA's are ok because I don't understand what they're saying, so it doesn't matter if I cut them off mid-sentence.

Its very case by case. Some are great, some not so much. Some make it way hotter, others kill the mood completely. If i were making games i would definitely hold off on voice acting, except for snippets or high quality moans. Unless i had some really great voice actors.

 

[User_84337]

I think voices are great. Even tho i havent made a game i imagine it would be rather simple to atleast give ai voice as an option in most games.

 

[Ant28jsp]

I don't play with sound
