History's Greatest Monster revealed as Witcher-hating forumite!

 

More news as we get it...

 

 

Well I don't hate the Witcher - just his English voive actor (I hate him so much I'm not even going to find his name. ) 

 

He plays Geralt as Victor in Victor Vran (a boring ARPG), Geralt as Elliot Ness in Blues And Bullets (a boring adventure game) and I'm sure other stuff where his lifeless delivery ruins everything.

 

He's the Sean Connery of voice actors - making every character he plays Geralt (Scottish). Obviously Connery was a god and he, well, isn't. But the point is valid.

Hayter is so good at the Snake voice you don’t mind sitting through codec conversations.

In Horizon Zero Dawn I came across a village that seemed to be entirely voiced by him.

And this one was a poisoned chalice because the voiced Monkey Island came along years after we'd all played the first 2 games so he's competing against a lot of head canon.

 

That is true. When I first heard him in Curse of Monkey Island, he was different from how I'd imagined the character's voice. But that difference was appropriate, since Curse was such a change for the series.

 

The Special Editions of the first two MI games definitely had some line readings that were different from how I'd imagined them.

Troy Baker in The Last of Us (among other things. His Sam in Uncharted 4 is also great and Delsin in Infamous Second Son. And Ocelet in MGS5!!! And that bloke in Death Stranding!!!! Phew!! )

 

 

 

I like Troy as an actor, however,  he does sound a little too pretentious for my taste and seems a bit self-absorbed in streams

I can't name any of the actors from the FFVII remake but they're some of the worst I've heard of late.

I'm sure they're all talented but in this they've turned the stereotypes up to 11. Just terrible.

John Cleese in Fable 3 was annoying as hell. 

 

Hugo Myatt in the orignal Fable, however, was perfect.

 

I discovered Beat Takeshi in Yakuza 6 last night!

Have to give a shout out to the Darkest Dungeon narrator, a chap called Wayne June. That deep gravelly voice sets the tone perfectly.
