I saw something in a post about good voice acting hard to come by and it got me thinking "what games have good voice acting in them?"

The only one that I can really think of that had supurb voice acting was the Legacy of Kain/Soul Reaver series (they had some top notch actors doing the voices of Rasiel, The Old God and Kain but I cant remeber who they were maybe when i get home from work ill google it) but other than that most of the Voice acting has been disapointing or just ok in my eyes

Oh The Old Republic has some very good voice acting in the story mode but that could have the new game shine on it still for me

Any that really stick out in your mind?

    Metal Gear Solid series has good voice acting. Heavenly Sword for PS3 has goodvoice acting, the dude who voiced Gollum is the main villian in the game and he was fantastic.

    The Uncharted series has amazing voice work.

    I love the voice acting for Dragon Age, especially Alistair, Morrigan, and Flemeth. Fallout, too. Particularly Dad, Veronica, Arcade, Yes-Man, Benny and Caesar.

    Metal Gear Solid and the Dragon Age series are my top faves for voice acting. The companion banter in Dragon Age (both games) still makes me laugh.

    All these replies and not one mention of LA Noire?

    Also the Akrham City/Asylum games have AMAING voice work and writing!

    Mass Effect has really strong voice acting

    It's becoming increasingly common, it's now more the case of 'if it's not sega or capcom the voice acting will be decent' :)

    Also the Oddworld series & Psyconaughts has great comical voice acting.... so did Brutal Legend

    I can not stand ANY of the voice acting in Final Fantasy recently, I just heard the Moogles voice in ff13-2...omg why :( If they had an option of Japanese with subtitles...
    The voices in Skyrim and Mass effect are pretty good.

    Everytime I see a Final Fantasy trailer I cry

    I refuse to play any of the current gen Final Fantasy games, they've fallen from grace so bad the last 7 years or so

    They really have but I'm willing to try 13-2 for the fact that the first half an hour of gameplay isn't all green..

    Only thing that comes to mind here is Mass Effect

    Oh and if I remember correctly, I sorta liked the dialogue and voice acting from Hard Rain.

    Based on my experience & discussions with former FF fans over the years, I'm pretty sure that a person's age directly correlates to the Final Fantasy game that they name as the last "good" one, haha. Someone should do a study. :smile:
