discussion Do you like voice acting in games

[MajinGuu]

If it's there from the start I enjoy it. If it's added later on though i tend to mute it. Spending years with a character who's voice you've had for them in your head not matching the official one when it's added later feels jarring

Of course it can add quality to a game.... issue is, it is rarely done well.

I like the voice acting in Bad Bobby, I'd be fine if more people went in that direction.

I like voice acting, music and sounds in games. But so few do it well and with quailty.

Most of the time I prefer to mute the sounds because the voices are always the same and without emotion.

It can be fun and add to the immersion. Plus a sexy voice saying hot things is a turn on. But, I can be done reading by the time the voice starts so it can also interrupt the flow.

There's at least one - Freshwomen - where that isn't true. I believe the dev either hired voice actors or maybe just friends to record the words. It does not sound like computer generated at all and they fit what the characters' emotions would be.

Not really, don't play with sound

I don't mind voice acting in games. Depends a lot of the games and i usually try to play with OG voice acting of the writer's native language, if it's available. Though specifically for AVNs, i rarely play with voices on.

It depends—if the voice acting is good, that’s a plus. But usually, there aren’t any issues with it, and I’m not too picky about it either. As long as the game works well, the voice acting just kind of stays in the background for me.

 

[MattShizzle]

Another one where it sounds real is Come Home. It didn't have voice from the start but did later and not for all - some is still just text.

The problem with current H game industry voice acting is always an afterthought which means the quality is always bad because most not even trying to put efforts into making it good. So for the time being I prefer no voice acting unless it is high quality

I believe voice acting is needed in a game for immersion.

 

[Gaminggxz]

Icing on the top for me tbh it's pretty nice

 

[Pirruk]

JP voice acting is goated, others not so much

 

[depisher]

I only like voice acting if it's very good. If it's medium(or bad), it would be better not to have it at all.

 

[JadedSkywalker]

I liked the voice acting in Projekt Passion.

 

[Cyberi]

Sounds more than voice dialogues.

 

[MercurioC]

It depends on how well it’s done. I do like voice acting in games, but only when it’s well-executed and fits the tone and personality of the characters.
