"I prefer Japanese voice acting in games!"
I really try and give english voice acting a fair shot but it's just so bad.
>my face when starting 999 with english dub
Yes I do.
>game is Japanese with Japanese writing
>people actually prefer cucked localization teams
>there are people who don't know Japanese
But I prefer zero voice acting
SMTIV and Persona 5 has decent English dub
I like Tekken rules.
I prefer English when it's decent, but they seem phoned in way too fucking often.
I play most of my vidya in english to give my ears a break from all the japanese i hear from anime.
>Japanese voices for nip games
>English voices for western games
There
I'll give English a chance, but I prefer the Japs for the most part. Especially for that FF Type 0 dub. Good Lord was that bad.
>I prefer to suffer from ear bleeding because I'm really insecure and don't want to be labeled as a weeb
>watching any leiji without subs
you brought this on yourself
I don't know about 4 or 7, but he was pretty good in MHX and CM
999 is a really bad example, especially with the stupid strike on video games.
Persona 5 did a fair job with their English dub, union be damned.
I generally pick Japanese voice acting because 9 times out of 10 the Englih voice acting is so bad that I can't even listen to it. Maybe the Japanese dub is equally as bad but since I don't know what normal coversational Japanese sounds like it's better than nothing.
It's much more difficult to identify bad voice acting when you can't tell
voice acting is good or above: English
Voice acting is just 'on par' or below: Other language
I read faster than people talk, so if the voice acting is just reading off text, then all it does is detract because I just hear
"user, we need to attack th-"
"We should-"
"Use the A button to-"
"Wah, what are we going to do on the be-"
"Lemme get dat dic-"
If the voice acting isn't good, I'd rather just hear mumbles or sounds that reinforce the mood like gasps, 'hey's, 'oh no's, or even fake languages are better with 'unta chaka paka', etc
Explain to me why I should take the time to learn Japanese just to play video games. I only have so much time before I die user.
Christ, this.
>play Bravely Default dubbed
>everyone sounds like a 4kids One Piece character
>Agnes sounds half-asleep for most of her lines
>"Ringabel's good though, it's totally worth it!"
>His English voice is that same high-pitched voice they use for womanizers in anime
>his Japanese voice is the deepest, manliest shit you can possibly think of
English dubs for Jap games are often pretty bad, not because western VAs aren't good, but rather because good western VAs don't do weeb games. Jap VAs on the otherhand still do Otaku games even after getting a decent amount of industry experience. Western VAs get out of anime games the second they have any amount of industry experience to fall back on.
I dont really care about the circumstances, I just listen to the result. And if it's sucks, I'm gonna stick with the original dub.
>that pic
Worst girl that turned enjoyable trash anime into just trash
Persona 5 ironic weebs are the only one that prefer dub.
>implying Japanese voices in fighting games aren't almost always better.
>I only have so much time before I die user
So why do you spend it on Sup Forums?
>being so cucked that you actually waste your time learning the dying language of a dying nation
LOL
I will never for the life of me understand anyone who prefers high pitched squealing kawaii uguu chipmonk voices.
Male nip voices are usually okay, but females are pretty much NOPE.jpg territory.
yeah learning a language is a terrible use of your time
you should shitposting on Sup Forums instead
English dub is on bad when they're paid to be serious.
Dynasty Warriors had the best dubs in the history of mankind. It enhanced the gameplay experience. I mean seriously, what do you know about MMMMAAAAGGIIIIICCCCC?!?!?!?
I know right, why aren't they learning a language so their boss can send them to a second world country so Mr. Goldstien can afford his third yacht instead of doing something they enjoy?
Yeah, why did I even learn American?
...
Huh, female nips voices are pretty much an instant boner for me. Maybe because they're associated with more attractive characters? Orgasm noises are still weird though. I don't get why all Japanese sex sounds like rape.
Hentai OVAs sound fine, JAV squealing is the worst thing ever.
>I don't get why all Japanese sex sounds like rape.
You know why user.
Why do people say this? The english voices for the girls in Persona 5 are much more higher pitch.
Japanese Haru:
youtube.com
English Haru:

Defend this dub nigger.
Explain why American voice actors should get paid ever. Especially since they only ever play themselves.
So uh... not a personafag, but what's wrong with these? Both VAs sound good to me. I guess it's a traditional weeaboo thing to hate on english dubs regardless.
Why would I defend a game I neither play nor care about?
>JAV squealing is the worst thing ever
This, what the hell is wrong with them? It doesn't sound appealing at all.
VLR has a good eng cast though.
The dude im replying to is complaining that female characters have high pitched kawaii uguu chipmonk voices.
Clearly english Haru fit that description much more.
Imagine watching a Yasujiro Ozu film dubbed by Americans.
That might be true, but I'll probably stick with japanese due to consistency.
>I DONT CARE!!!
>I saw like 10 anime clip on my epic facebook page and they all sound like shit!
Dubfag once again with no argument.
>using best girl to shitpost
absolutely shameful
Xenoblade's dub is GOAT
When English girls learn how to emote or Japanese girls learn how to actually convey pain we will finally have an objectively best choice.
I like hearing cute girls whispering gibberish in my ear, so I always go with japanese voice acting because it sounds cuter.
Girls in english dub always sound like spoiled sluts.
>its an 3DPD crack smoking americunt voicing a loli character episode
Nope
That's not best girl though.
>autism-chan
>best anything
I don't think so Tim
>Playing Eastern games dubbed in English
plebeian
>Playing Eastern games subbed in English
slightly enlightened
>Playing Western games dubbed in Japanese
Patrician
this is actually true for more games than you'd expect
japs have great depth in terms of voice talent, many games with lackluster original, english dubs get a nice japanese dub
At least we can agree on best boy, right?
Name 5
>Playing Western games dubbed in Japanese subbed in Chinese
>universal glowing brain.jpg
Lovemaster > Wingman
Both are great though
>yfw a game with both english and japanese dubs being good though the last game drops the english one because muh early release time but you know it would've been great regardless
I dont hate on english dubs. I've just been burnt by them so often I no longer bother.
Also the more you hear japanese the more you pick up on shit.
Even then, I was a dubfag until I watched Evangelion in Nip. Those are some goddamn good performances.
>playing a chink game in chink
ikr? how dare they
They're both fucking awful. Why in the fuck would I defend the dub? Because if challenged YOU would defend grorious nippon to the death? Fuck off faggot.
But then there are games like Nier Automata where the English dub ranges from just as good to a lot better than the Japanese dub.
skyrim
fallout 4
bioshock
tomb raider
farcry 4
Am I the only one that goes, "Hmm, I'm too tired to read, I'll go with Dub."
Might as well just do it. at least the enjoyment of learning Japanese is just reading and understanding things you normally wouldn't. imagine simply playing the Japanese game on release instead of waiting a few months after.
Why is it even remotely controversial to hold a preference for listening to the original voice cast in non-English video games?
Im not american.
...
It's funny because that was a bullshit reason anyway.
Automata isnt bad, but they changed 2B's character and 9s only really starts to cone into his own in the later parts of the game
or people who are not from english country speaking
I've just recently started, and I'm not even that much of a weeb.
There's something very satisfying about seeing random gibberish and moon runes slowly start to make sense.
>Japanese Ulfric
>Better than Vladimir Kulich
why lie on the internet?
I finished Nier:Automata in Japanese. The prologue in English felt a little flat, so I made the permanent switch to Japanese.
After beating the game, I went to look at some of the cutscenes on YouTube, which are mostly in English. I had no idea that 9S's English voice actor would do a great job, especially in his mental breakdowns. Better than Japanese 9S, definitely.
I do think 2B and A2 English voices feel off.
>listen to Japanese dub
>the foreign character starts to speak 'English'
Japanese dub is fucking horrid to the point it ruins it. English one is just a little cheesy.
>mfw danganronpa english
I played on mute
This. 2B's english voice in Automata was straight garbage. She was like a different character.
Playing games written in Japanese with Japanese subtitles is the patrician way.
But the original dub is great and has actually a bit of an all-star cast
lol no
Anyone really liked the Trails of Cold Steel 1 and 2 English dub?
Jusis, Elliot, Fie, Duvalie and Machias were great.
lol yes
>Guilty Gear Xrd
I-no sounds like a fucking hag
Really? Is that considered great? English is not my native language, and almost every single english dub I've heard on the recent years lack so much empathy or emotion, personally, I dislike it.
i prefer the original voice acting
All mediums are better in the original language.
There are times when you literally can't understand anything, like when there are no available subtitles or something, and that should be your only excuse for not going for the original language.
>VA dub director murdered 2Bs character
>good
One of the 3 major characters got fucked up hard, how can you call that a good dub? Especially if 9S motivation revolves around her.
even then no available subtitles is not a good excuse because you can always just learn a new language
But I can speak Nihongo.
The ORIGINAL dub is obviously the japanese one
I was saying that because that dude said he played on mute
Aside from stuff like Bayonetta and MGS where the english voices are the primary ones, the only japanese games I can think of with good english dubs are Xenoblade and Kingdom Hearts
i won't argue with kingdom hearts but as someone from britain i fucking hate british voices
Some titles like Nier Automata has some great English voice acting, especially 9S and Eve and that extends to FFXV with Noctis (same VA as Eve) but you have games like BotW with trash tier voice acting.
There is no "I only play sub" or "I only play dub", it just depends on the game for honestly. Shitters who immediately dismiss any dub just because it's a dub are unbearable though.
I enjoy it
I like this. I like this alot.
I prefer voice acting that sounds best for the game I'm currently playing. Sometimes that's English, sometimes that's Japanese and sometimes that's Russian, German or Polish.
Whatever sounds best and fits the game atmosphere.
Jesus christ, what the fuck
