Keanu Reeves apologists are worse then CDPR apologists
Keanu's VA is absolutely atrocious in this game. He is so ridiculously wooden and flat, it's jarring to hear him speak alongside the other voice actors who are all talented and clearly giving their best effort. Even CohhCarnage (streamer who plays Gary the Prophet) has a better performance then Hollywood superstar Keanu Reeves.

Yet I see people defending this, as if this is some 'grand vision' that CDPR had for Johnny Silverhand, mostly 15 yr olds who think John Wick is the only thing Keanu is known for. Well, it isn't. If you've ever seen Point Break or Speed, you'd know the guy can actually act and put some emotion into his delivery.

Keanu no doubt was a massive money sink for CDPR, he probably had a higher fee then many of the other VA combined. He deserves to be called out for this monotone, teleprompter-reading acting he gave.

I love the game and keanu but honestly I agree. His VA was appalling for the most part and most of the time he spoke I wanted him to shut up.
well i mean Keanu Reeves is a low tier actor in hollywood so you cant expect the best from him but he does the job good enough for me.

russian voice acting is good, tried to play on english for first hours and got disappointed.

The whole game feels like an advertisement for Keanu Reeves. For gods' sakes, even the motorbikes are made from the Arch Motorcycles, which is owned by him

Yes, money should have been spent on the development and quality assurance instead of Hollywood celebrities.

Keanu Reeves could be a huge + to the game. But production killed what could be done together with him.
Chances are this was due to his agreement. And ended up he overtook the star position from V and the player became less than a sidekick in Silverhand's mercy.

First time hearing Keanu's VA? He is like that in every movie, and that's part of his charm.

You an acting coach? You can say your piece here, but it really in the grand scheme of things means nothing. The guy is a Top Tier actor... https://www.thethings.com/keanu-reeves-best-movies-ranked-money-made/#:~:text=1%20The%20Lake%20House%20Is%20A%20Sweet%20And,Chapter%203%20Is%20The%20Craziest%20Entry%20Yet%20%28%24276.

This is what he does with his money. https://www.celebritynetworth.com/articles/entertainment-articles/amazing-story-keanu-reeves-gave-away-75-million-matrix-salary/

Would you do this if you had that kind of money? Not a lot of actors, or even anyone for that matter does or would.

Thanks for your opinion, there's mine.

The German voice is great.
The guy has always done localization for Keanu Reeves.
And the voice is the only thing that seems familiar to me
The visual is really bad - CDPR certainly wouldn't have needed motion capture for that
