50 Worst Moments In Video Game Voice Acting (VIDEO)

First Posted: 03/18/10 06:12 AM ET Updated: 05/25/11 03:40 PM ET

Wow, one would think with all the money spent on graphics and marketing for video games, the companies that produce them would spend more than $4 on voice actors to bring their characters to life. Unfortunately for them (fortunately for us) these voice acting fails are hilarious and thanks to an intrepid youtuber, care all in one place.

I think Final Fantasy X-tidus and Final Fantasy XII-vaan should have made the list.

Seems like whoever did this only picked from about a dozen titles total...and one was just saying the title of the game, not in-game dialogue. Still rather amusing, but not as amusing as badly translated 70's/80's martial arts movies from overseas.

I can't believe that you guys left out the most famous video game voice script of all time:

ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US!!!

Probably because the voice isn't in the actual game.

Oh, come on . . . Castlevania: Symphony of the Night should have been in the top 20, for the snippets between the crotchety old merchant and the wooden Hispanic-Transylvanian protagonist

and the absurd war of demi-profundities in the prologue:

Clearly this list was subjective, No Jill Sandwich? No Megaman X4?

And the WORST EVER

To save future generations... o wait..

I'm not sitting through 5+ minutes of this junk... but the most painful line of video game dialog comes from BLASTO. The line:

"Gun shot wound... bad way to die! Oh well, see ya!"

Voiced, unfortunately, by the amazing Phil Hartman.

The only video games that have superb voice acting are the God of War and Legacy of Kain Series. Most of the rest have awful acting.

Seconded. The voice session videos from SR2 were worth the whole price of purchase.

"It hurts a bit but I can still talk" would be more apt?
