You thought FFX's voice acting was bad?

...watch the video below. I'd like to smack whoever got paid for doing these awful voices.

Heh. I remember Resident Evil Directors Cut voice acting.

Loads of these lines from games I've never even heard of, but I swear I can do better voice acting. I can speak in a monotone as well, and add random pauses, or do a bad accent.

Also, oh no, CD-i Zelda's...

Btw, Tenchu is awesome. Everyone should play it.

Mega Man 8.  I remember when my brother and I first heard Dr. Light talking to Mega Man.  The voices from 8 were enough to make me glad that 9 and 10 were retro style without voice acting.
Oh come now. That doesn't even make sense. How can flimsy paper possibly beat the raw density of stone?

No, I'm sorry. Those are bad, but do not equal into the bad voice acting (and absolutely Horrible VA Direction!) Of Castle of Shikigami 2.

I am disappointed in this list for not having Chaos Wars as every number, or at LEAST having it at #1 for the character Tonaty's voice acting.

50: Sarcasm is already hard to do, why would you trust a shitty voice actor to make it work. This is of course assuming the best case scenario where the writer was going for sarcasm instead of just being a lazy campy idiot.
49: Something was lost in translation here. Plus photographer voice actor only knew how to do an angry Asian accents.
48: Directions to voice actor: "Okay so your dying slowly, but as soon as you finish the line your dead. Make sure that you sound like you are in unbelievable pain and that the dark is closing in, but speak clearly so that the player can understand where they are going and what they are doing next. This is very important because this is an on rails shooter and the location you gave them is my college dorm room number."
47: This voice actor only knew scared Asian accent, thus angry was a problem.
46: No one, I repeat, no one thinks when faced with imminent death: "Oh yeah it totally makes sense that this guy needs to kill me, I should tell him that in my final moments so that he doesn't feel so guilty afterwords".
45: = Chinese woman comes to America and tries to do an English accent.

I'm seeing a pattern of accents being a major culprit already. I'm not racist, I just don't like how people from other places talk. That includes rich white guys from Texas and anyone born in New York

44: This guy is a Dungeons and Dragons player experiencing a bout of mania. Your age and your need for sleep are only very loosely correlated. Even the two sentences sound like they were recorded separately and then smashed together later.
43: Oh and if you didn't know you are on a ship...that is burning. Que maniacal laugh for emphasis and to distract from slip up, which is in itself counter productive and further failure. It is tough being the dumb bad guy, that is why most of them are scientists.
42: The guy who made this list for some reason thinks bad reverb effects = bad voice acting. Which I don't think is true. Though perhaps the character is holding a hammer or something when he says the line.
41: "Ohhh nooo!" How does she know that he is going to explode. People don't normal or predictably explode in my experience, even in video games. Does the guy have a burning fuse for a mustache or something, and even then I would find it more frightening that he is a rapest more concerning than the fact that he was going to explode.
40: Gay Power Ranger
39: If I talk like this it makes me more manly and cool, even if all I did was smash the little electromagnetic key card thing used for opening doors.
38: Okay this is just a sad case of an excellent line being ruined by a stupid voice actor and a worthless voice talent director. The line should clearly be "I fear them not", not "I fear them,...NOT!!!". Even when the poor writers avoid the deadly trap of sarcasm the voice actors manager to wriggle it in.
37: I'm assuming that the guy with the gun just saved this whiny bitches ass. Otherwise it isn't very amusing and the creator of this list just has some weird fascination with British accents.
36: I say this every day at satanic youth group and I kind of sound like this guy. I don't find that amusing at all.
35: I have a stutter and I forgot why I wanted revenge. Heroic stoic avenging angel speech FAIL!
34: ummmm
33: Dramatic pause equals win...NOT! Idiots. I'm sure this is somehow further fucked up by sarcasm.
32: Cliche fail. Gay fail?
31: This line makes my brain hurt. It is so wrong I don't even know what is wrong with it. "Hmm alright" what the fuck does that have to do at all with the plain being unstoppable. It's just dumb. DUMB DUMB DUMB!
30: LOL "Last Resort" is a pretty fucking fitting name. Was the last resort for this voice actor learn English from an alien.

IMO, nothing even approaches Evil Islands for bad voice acting.  Its the only game where I ever played it for 5 minutes and found the main character's voice was so bad that I had to stop playing.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evil_Islands

I'm ashamed that the wiki doesnt mention this anywhere.  I think I have the CD somewhere.  I might put something on Youtube about it one day when work is taking less of my time than it is now.
