    When Arthur said "I'm afraid" to sister Calderon that for me was one of the best voice acting i've ever seen on a videogame. The facial expression on Arthur as well was exceptionally done by the developers. Roger Clark will always be a legend in my opinion he did a fantastic job in his portrayal of Arthur Morgan. One of the best videogame characters in recent times

      Completely agree. His performance as Arthur is one of the best acting performances ever imo. Also, one correction most of Roger's performance was performance capture not voice acting. It's similar to what they did in LOTR. I just feel like I see people making this mistake a lot and as another actor I feel for him. Not trying to be a dick just an fyi! All the best.

      I have a really unpopular opinion on this - I thought Roger Clark's voice acting was pretty fucking bad. Dude sounds like Foghorn Leghorn, it's like a horrible, lazy caricature of a southern accent, similar to Julia Garner in Ozark. It doesn't ruin the game but the over-the-top, contrived nature of it is very distracting for me. Wish they would have gotten a real southerner to do the voice.

    I have to disagree when they say idris alba is the best voice actor of cyberpunk. I fully believe it’s Cherami Leigh (female V). I usually play male characters when given the choice. But after hearing her in the demo the studio showed us I ended up playing as the female version of V. I was so drawn in by her acting. The emotion she brought to the character had me fully immersed in the game feeling the highs and the lows the character was experiencing. So much so I played a second play through as the male version to compare and after an hour I felt he did well but nowhere near as well as Cherami Leigh. So I restated my second play through as the female V again. She absolutely nailed it and I can’t picture that game without her being the voice actor.
    Everyone did a great job in this game. Even minor characters. But Cherami Leigh as V brought it to a whole new level of immersion.

      But I think the video is more about the "whole package" of mocap and voice, and naturally we don't have that with V, the game being first person and all.
      And also I feel in terms of pure voice acting Minji Chang as So Mi also needs to be mentioned, she's right up there with the big stars and Cherami Leigh.

    • @TurdF3rguson
      @TurdF3rguson 2 місяці тому

      I think the bigger problem is something Skill Up has pointed out. They start with the structure and build around that. It seems like they always want to start by assuming that there will be different regions - each with their own set of characters - that the player can visit in any order, which means you have to do shorter story blocks that can loosely fit into a bigger narrative. AC Valhalla has regions to pacify, Star Wars Outlaws has the 3 planets where you gather your heist allies, and I believe Far Cry 6 requires you to go to different spots on the map to recruit new allies. On the flip side, RDR 2 (while still an open-world game) structures things in such a way that even side missions speak to the same themes and character development the main game does (such as the "Money Laundering and Other Sins" mission set). Ubisoft games seem to contain moments where they show they're capable of good storytelling, but they just hamstring themselves with their loose structure.

    One of my favorite moments in Ragnarok cinematography wise, is one of the times that Kratos and Atreus are separated. Kratos sets his knife down on a table or tree stump, and as the camera focuses in on the knife; Atreus picks up his identical knife on a similar stump or whatever it was. Just brilliant camera work
