Bean,
I am interested by your comments. In a way it becomes a philosophical discussion.

I believe our points are actually very similar.

It does not matter if you sway my opinion, or I sway your opinion.

Reality is not going to change by being positive or negative. Perhaps we can discuss how it doesnt matter that much what voices in games sound like.

Perhaps we can learn to appreciate anything. A game is not that important anyway its just entertainment. We didnt even have to make it were all just potential game players. LOL all that is at stake for us is whether or not we turn the sound on. There will probably even be click to turn voices off....

The reality is .... the voice acting sounds really bad. Most people will come to that opinion unbiased by me or you or whoever.... we can argue about anything, but we cant argue about that. That is the facts.
As a big fan of the first game I am really hoping to developers can deal with that in time. What else can I add I wish I had more time to test each line as someone just suggested. The demo gave me a large enough dose to predict that its all pretty bad...

Anyhow, enough negative from me I wish I had more to help with and be constructive with.
