Maria Caliban Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 It's not that Mark Meer is 'bad.' It's that the alternative is Jennifer Hale who is much, much better. (Though there were a few scenes in ME 2 where she sounded half-asleep) "When is this out. I can't wait to play it so I can talk at length about how bad it is." - Gorgon.

Tel Aviv Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 I dunno, I think Mark Meer's voicing in ME2 is a VAST improvement, especially were humor is concerned. I actually think he's a little bit awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoonDing Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Laura Bailey This was the voice actress for Deus Ex 2? Interesting... she also voiced the protagonist in Bloodrayne. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacMichael Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Having watched the two seasons of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex recently, I really like Mary Elizabeth McGlynn. She did Motoko Kusanagi, and she did Sie, in Alpha Protocol. I'm going to need better directions than "the secret lair." -==(UDIC)==- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell Kitty Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Along with the others I mentioned, Mary Elizabeth McGlynn is one of my favourite voice actors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Though there were a few scenes in ME 2 where she sounded half-asleep) The alternative is Jennifer Hale, who emotes much, much more. YMMV. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

HoonDing Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Mazzy Fentan is Hale's best voice performance by far. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nepenthe Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Mazzy Fentan is Hale's best voice performance by far. Don't disagree necessarily... it's been ages since I've played BG2 with Mazzy, so Bastila's a lot clearer in my mind (and current favourite). OTOH, I do think that Viconia was Grey DeLisle's best performance by far. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

Are the Bloodrayne games worth buying and playing on GOG or kind of wastes of time if one has other things to play to keep them busy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played through the original on the PS2, and other than the awesome voice of Laura Bailey and the fact I cheated my way to the end, I don't remember much about it. Never got far into the sequel due to disinterest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoonDing Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I liked the first Bloodrayne as a cheesy, mindless hack 'n slash. It manages to combine enough B-movie clich The ending of the words is ALMSIVI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkreku Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I reviewed Bloodrayne back in the day. I think I gave it 8/10.. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tale Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 (edited) I shouldn't be surprised, but I am. After New Vegas, I think I'm going to start avoiding pre-orders specifically to not get these.

Slowtrain Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I hope (and encourage!) some of you take a few minutes to do brief reviews and impressions of this game once it is released. I'm not touching it until I hear reactions from people here. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.

Raithe Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Yeah, I pre-ordered mine a month or two back. Sometimes when I'm really interested in a game and I want to get my hands on it to see how it is rather then wait for other peoples perceptions.. I just like to put down my order so it's taken care of. Then when it arrives I can cackle maniacally... "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

Purkake Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 (edited) Well, then you have obviously spat on the memory of Deus Ex 1 and everything it represents. You might just as well go and buy a Kinect right now. Edited November 30, 2010 by Purkake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
