Chaos Wars

I found this video on Youtube, and has anyone played this game?  The voice acting is just so horrendously bad that I can't believe it really sounds this poor. If anyone has played it, does it really sound this way?

wow.. thank you for this

[SilvasRuin]

"Nicole" seemed like the only person who cares about keeping his voice in-character, and even he sucks...

Karen sounds bored, or heavily sedated, and I'm not sure what to make of Shizuku.

EDIT: Apparently, the CEO of the company that localized this was so cheap, he made family members record the voices, instead of hiring voice actors.

i lol'd at #40 myself

[Kaijyuu]

Oh no, someone's coming!
Oh no, he's going to explode!

[Luminar]

the special attacks look cool, i may only play it if the voices were japanese with english text...

[Kaijyuu]

As for the game the OP's talking about:


Why oh why did they bother with voice acting at all? No one who plays it will want to listen to an english dub regardless of how good it is. Wasted those poor family member's time.

They apparently left the in-battle voices as japanese. Why not the cutscenes?

#40 is hilarious

sounds so gay

SO GAY

[Aquablack]

I was expecting alot more lines from Resident Evil in that list, how could they leave out "You were almost a Jill sandwich."?

[Kokojo]

That's not bad voice acting. It's a bad pun.

"What is this trickery!? I don't believe in magiiiic!!"

My wife and I keep randomly exclaiming that one in public places.

[Zypher]

you make marriage sound awesome

[Zalge]

This is a lie; Those are characters from Shadow Hearts...
No way those are the real voices. Yuri/Uru is much cooler sounding than that and his voice actor is actually good.

[GeneralStrife]

"The game was heavily criticized for its poor English dubbing, due to O3's CEO Chris Jelinek getting family members to do the voiceovers instead of hiring professional voice actors."

All your base are belong to us

#18 caught me off guard.

Guy 1: "I guess this means we won't be using the elevator"

Guy 2: "Maybe not. Tom left a message. He wrote it in his own blood."

Guy 1: "In his blood!? Way to go kid!"


#3 was just plain hilarious.

Oddly enough... as far as I can tell, that voice itself Belongs to the Wizard character of Zhang Jiao, who normally does a good job of his voice actor in DW3, the Only Dynasty Warriors character that has pronounced Tao correctly, I can't recall that line though, and I played that game to death way back in the day.
