Seriously, this takes voice acting on an import game to new heights of awfulness! How did it end up so bad? The CEO of the company let his four kids be the voice actors! *shudder*

    I can do better voice acting with my ass. These kids suck…

  2. confused on June 12th, 2008 12:28 am

    They are seriously putting this into a game? That’s terrible.

  3. Jusenkyo on June 12th, 2008 12:30 am

    I can’t help but wonder if the kids were beaten before or after recording.

  4. Crown on June 12th, 2008 12:36 am

    They all have that Lisp.

    Why do you need Voice Acting for a game with Subtitles anyway?

  5. Satir on June 12th, 2008 12:39 am

    Voice acting seems kind of pointless in these kinds of scenes. Hell, depicting action seems really pointless in these kinds of scenes. It’s just dialogue, not a book.

    Still, it was kind of hilarious.

  6. Dan on June 12th, 2008 1:03 am

    I know that good voice actors are expensive, but if you’re going to put however many much into game development you don’t need to cut corners like this. I think if you instead rounded up a dozen homeless people they could have done a much better job. Maybe they’ll keep that as an option for the sequel.

  7. SonicXV on June 12th, 2008 1:09 am

    if i ever became ballless enough to try this game, at this conversation i would be forced to quit. forever. seriously. what the fuck.

  8. Gehraz on June 12th, 2008 1:10 am

    Jesus Christ forget the voice acting… Did anyone notice the guy is named Nicole?

  9. AwwJebus on June 12th, 2008 1:40 am

    It sounds like every crappy newgrounds flash.

    You know the ones, where instead of usin good equipment they just yell into the mic

  10. Chunkey on June 12th, 2008 1:42 am

    ROFL, Karen sounds dead

  11. Blank-Mage on June 12th, 2008 2:21 am

    Oh, dear God in heaven! (Firefly reference.) I can’t decide who I hate more, Karen or Uru.

    But really, who let that happen? Even if the CEO decides his kids are the next great voices in gaming, don’t OTHER people still have the option of, say, throwing him/his wretched spawn out of a high window? Or his intestines throttling him from the inside in a desperate bid to save us all?

  12. Zlor on June 12th, 2008 2:42 am

    Oh.. God.. Uru and Karen can both die in the lowest pits of hell.

  13. Kbman on June 12th, 2008 2:43 am

    Dear lord, I can’t un-hear it!
    And this is coming from someone who isn’t bothered by “You’re too slow!”

  14. Rayza B on June 12th, 2008 2:53 am

    I was watching this and waiting for voices,
    then i relised the sound was off…
    I WISH IT STAYED OFF! >=(

  15. Aaron Hong on June 12th, 2008 3:01 am

    This qualifies as a Parenting Fail.

  16. Bucky on June 12th, 2008 3:36 am

    The guy voicing Nicole is actually not bad, but Karen sounds like a drunk whore they pulled off the corner, and Uru sounds…well, Uru sounds like a penis-loving homosexual they borrowed from an anime con, wearing fishnets and a dog collar.

  17. Yamez on June 12th, 2008 3:39 am

    …So many innuendos…and they were ruined by the crap spewing out of the actors mouths…though, I can’t help but wonder if this is all just a well-planned-out farce…perhaps the guy who made this video wanted it to go this way…ow, my brain just leaked onto the floor…

  18. Cero on June 12th, 2008 3:48 am

    “JUMP!” -Ten Seconds Later- *Splat* Seriously, pure genius.

  19. Shadow Hazuki on June 12th, 2008 4:22 am

    I died a little inside, then Cero brought me back. Thank you Cero

  20. EvilJawa on June 12th, 2008 4:48 am

    That is funny, i just imagined that the green haired girl had just said “What you say!!!” instead.

  21. fieldy409 on June 12th, 2008 6:19 am

    lol me and my sister couldnt stop laughing when that guy went ‘YEYAH!’

  22. Valenti on June 12th, 2008 7:11 am

    Implied rape in there’z?

  23. Oxymoron on June 12th, 2008 7:58 am

    if you took out kill and replaced it with a 5 letter word it would be a horribly voice acted porno.

  24. Valdis M. on June 12th, 2008 8:45 am

    Wow, this video can be sent into the deep flaming pit of shit where they threw the intros to Zelda CD-i and Zero Wing…
    Just imagine all of those games talking to eachother…. “Someone has set up us the bomb!” “I totally didn’t see that coming” “MAH BOI”

  25. Pigeon Army on June 12th, 2008 9:09 am

    Y’know, with that epic battle music playing in the background, I get the feeling that taking the Tengaio away is slightly more important than the voice actor is letting on.

    YOU CAN’T SAY STUFF LIKE THAT! YOU COULD RU-IN YOUR REP-U-TAY-TION!

  26. Anonymouse on June 12th, 2008 9:38 am

    Ruining a game by having your kids do the voice?
    FAILURE ENSUES
    LOW SALES ENSUE

  27. 1RPGKID on June 12th, 2008 10:10 am

    Lulz Uru sounds really gay

  28. DWC on June 12th, 2008 10:11 am

    AAAAAGGGHHHH! Why there voices have become my inner thoughts!! *falls to the ground in agony*

  29. 1RPGKID on June 12th, 2008 10:15 am

    fieldy409June 12th, 2008 at 6:19 am

    lol me and my sister couldnt stop laughing when that guy went ‘YEYAH!’

    Lol that part made me crack up too. This was sooooo bad… 5/5 stars for the epic parenting fail.

  30. Ungodlyrich123 on June 12th, 2008 10:51 am

    Is this some sort of sick joke? I can’t imagine voice acting being THAT bad in a game….

  31. Ab-Noxious on June 12th, 2008 10:52 am

    The Uru guy has a lithp. Its kinda funny. I didnt even watch this all the way though, my ears were trying to run away.

  32. Deth2Gerbilz on June 12th, 2008 11:21 am

    oh. oh god! why?!?!

  33. Tirithek on June 12th, 2008 11:37 am

    That was fscking awful. And I thought Baten Kaitos was bad…

  34. Boreas on June 12th, 2008 12:18 pm

    Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…
    The writing was horrible, and the voice acting was suicide.
    This belongs in the deepest circle of Gaming Hell, the one reserved for badly executed imports.

  35. Un-Anonymous on June 12th, 2008 1:06 pm

    I think……nope, they did. My eardrums exploded from the epic fail.

  36. technoskull on June 12th, 2008 1:26 pm

    uru sounds like a gay emo kid, seriously

  37. Haywire on June 12th, 2008 1:59 pm

    That voice acting is BAD. Seriously, it’s even worse than Starfox Assault.

  38. Evitron on June 12th, 2008 2:42 pm

    My ears are bleeding. Truly this is the anti-christ of voice acting.

  39. Lobsta on June 12th, 2008 2:50 pm

    ahahhaahahhahahaha

  40. Pauld'Arbonne on June 12th, 2008 3:06 pm

    Oh gods! I couldn’t stand more than minute of that before i stopped it. But the voices, THE VOICES WON’T STOP!!!

  41. Bulletproof Moon on June 12th, 2008 3:52 pm

    YOU DARE BRING POOR VOICE-ACTING TO MY LAIR!? YOU MUST DIE!!!!!

  42. BigT on June 12th, 2008 4:38 pm

    Wow, I REALLY can’t move my body.

  43. Boreas on June 12th, 2008 6:03 pm

    ^
    What did you do, Nicole?

  44. smashpro1 on June 12th, 2008 6:24 pm

    There is only one way out, Persona style *puts gun to head*

  45. Koth on June 12th, 2008 6:41 pm

    KILL ME!

  46. SilverWolf on June 12th, 2008 6:51 pm

    Are you SERIOUS? That voice acting is REAL?!

    …Wow. Just wow. Five stars, though because it was funny. XD

  47. Crest on June 12th, 2008 6:54 pm

    … WHAT!?!
    This is a crime!!
    I LIKED Shadow Hearts!!
    Not only did they translate the names wrong, they didn’t get Joey Capps to voice Yuri (His actual name)!!
    ARRRGGGHHHH!!!!
    I’m so enraged!!!
    How could they? How COULD they?

  48. MasqueNoMercy on June 12th, 2008 7:56 pm

    i just liked that one guy that yelled YEAH!

  49. Nova on June 12th, 2008 9:21 pm

    Shizuku sound really weird with her character. o_o

    She’s like some american teen voice actor, and she’s voicing some innocent looking person. And Hyoma looks like:
    (A) A girl with a mans voice.
    (B) A man with a girly face.

    =P

  50. Seb on June 12th, 2008 10:30 pm

    My brain hurts bad, I mean really bad… *fade to black*

  51. fieldy409 on June 12th, 2008 11:32 pm

    the man named nicole(?) wasnt too bad on the voice acting.

  52. AluminumCan on June 13th, 2008 12:46 am

    Damn, I thought Slippy was annoying. I couldn’t even finish the video.

  53. Tenzil on June 13th, 2008 12:59 am

    Yeah, okay, the voices are bad but even Robert DeNiro could not pull off that dialogue. C’mon, the writers screwed that over before the readers even got involved.

  54. Riot on June 13th, 2008 7:13 am

    Ha, wait till you see the voiceovers in “summon nights” :P

  55. MorrowindJim on June 13th, 2008 11:45 am

    Uru says: “FABULOUS”

    I was seriously expecting him to say something like that >.>

    I do sense child abuse before the voice recordings, though …

  56. Ryumaru on June 13th, 2008 12:17 pm

    Yeah, Nicole isn’t too bad, but the script is pretty awful. And after, 2:40, I feel like it improves, but the last line just… well, not kills it, but smacks it in the face with a solid steel bar.

  57. killercartoons on June 13th, 2008 3:50 pm

    man, forget the voice acting! (because i know i will!) just the dialogue alone was terrible! i mean,
    “Wow! I really can’t move my body?”
    “I really don’t want your twisted love. I really don’t.”
    WTF!? What The Face!?

  58. Red on June 13th, 2008 4:18 pm

    “I know you guys are having fun *weird noise* but could you stop a sec and tell me why I’m involved in this?”
    I get the feeling this wasn’t really on the script, but they rolled with it.

  59. Some Guy on June 13th, 2008 5:44 pm

    1:09 -> my question exactly

  60. Hi on June 13th, 2008 11:36 pm

    “Whaaat?! I didn’t see that coming at all!”

    I got the biggest laugh there, but the whole thing was lolerful.

  61. Dragon Slayer on June 14th, 2008 2:14 am

    are all japs gay?

  62. Liana on June 14th, 2008 2:23 am

    I think a little part of my soul just died..

  63. SephFinale on June 14th, 2008 3:49 am

    That…sounds worse than some of the kids that acted in my theater class…

  64. Finnegan on June 14th, 2008 9:27 am

    Dragon Slayer> The voice actors in this were American, not Japanese. Sounds like, by your logic, you should be questioning your own sexuality.

    YEA-YUH!

  65. Spaztick wolf on June 14th, 2008 5:23 pm

    Even I can voice act beter than this

  66. dudemanawesome on June 14th, 2008 8:35 pm

    pedobear approves

  67. Miketuu on June 17th, 2008 3:42 pm

    I remembered from that new Speed Racer show, “Preeeess the green button!”

  68. Kimeters on June 20th, 2008 1:36 am

    Why does Uru have a huge Lisp?

  69. Tzao on June 20th, 2008 3:31 pm

    Oh…oh god. OH GOD. OH GOD OH GOD.

    WHAT. THE. FUCK. WAS. THAT.

    SOMEONE KILL ME.

    OH GOD.

    (caps lock ftw)

  70. Paul on July 19th, 2008 7:05 pm

    Uru is gay, Nicole is a guy, he’s also gay, and has some sort of a Tengaio fetish, Karen sounds mentally retarded, Shizuku sounds like a stupid teenage girl, and Hyoma sounds like a man. That company’s CEO fails.

  71. Aidan on August 6th, 2008 10:04 am

    was this shadow hearts? cos uru looked like yuri…

  72. dekuskrub1 on October 2nd, 2008 10:52 am

    does anyone know what game this is?

  73. RPJesus on October 26th, 2008 5:43 am

    OH GOD PUNCTUATION MEANS NOTHING TO THEM IT BURNS!
