      Can you hear me?an you see me? Listen god dammit this is important.
      Are you hearing me held closer to windex spray triggering so you see me. Look up eyes on me. My names Levi and I shot ones up. No felt shit. You got something to say Mr. Bright Eyes

    I actually liked their acting. While it definitely has some flaws, the way they exaggerates the words gives a theatrical aspect to the encounter much like a stage play. Some people may enjoy Shakespeare or Les Miserables, while here we can enjoy our own Castlevania stage play ! It's cheesy for sure but i enjoy it for what it is and it also adds to the grandiose setting of the game. Plus, it's actually kind of fitting to be acting considering the historical time period the game takes places in.
    In comparison, the Dynasty Warriors game acting turned historical badass figures of the warring kingdoms into walking clowns...

    @halwasserman7905 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The most cringe-worthy performance is at the end, and the writing is partially to blame. Dracula's death scene is ridiculous. He gasps for air, but a vampire wouldn't do that. He quotes from the Bible and even takes the trouble to tell you the chapter and verse. Not at all the behavior one would expect from the Prince of Darkness. Then we learn his wife's name is Lisa. Lisa? This is the best name they could think of for Dracula's wife? Lisa is the name of the girl you went to high school with in the 1980s. It is nowhere near old fashioned sounding and gothic enough for the situation. And I don't know what's worse in the Succubus part--Alucard screaming "Mother!" or well every time the Succubus speaks. Her voice is like nails on a chalkboard.

    That's why there's a re-translation patch for the Japanese version of the game which follows the original Japanese script more closely and retains the original Japanese voiceovers, which, in contrast to the English voices, were actually recorded in a professional recording studio.

  • @ClovissenpaiDotR
    @ClovissenpaiDotR 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I think the voice acting in this game is great. I just think the 'cheesyness of it' was that they werent too meticulous about it - sounds like some of the voice actors just read the lines being told to use passion without really knowing the context of any of it, so some of the lines sound really unfitting to the games aesthetic and style. Dracula and Alucard's voice in particular are awesome, but Richters sounds superly overly cheesy, especially in the intro dialogue.
    But how can you diss the "What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets!" etc, just how? It sounds like music to my ears!

      I love "bad" acting. It's one of the reasons I started a whole series called Great Moments in Bad Acting. I think the acting in this game is pretty goofy, but it's also endearing. It comes from a time when they weren't all that worried about professional voice acting, and I like it for that reason. I certainly meant no disrespect to Symphony of the Night.

      The dialogue works for the show, but I agree that it probably wouldn't have worked for the game. That said, they have done a good job of fleshing out a lot of those characters (much like they did with the Castlevania III storyline in the original series), and it's great to see renewed interest in the Rondo/Symphony (and Bloodlines) stories.
