[OPINION] Nitara Voice Acting Is Terrible

[GOPO™]

Not necessarily because of Megan Fox's voice, but because she completely fails to embody the character, and the voice lines are read so blandly and without any intonation whatsoever, which, for me, weigh in heavily when selecting a character that I want to trial as a main.

While I agree Megan Fox isn't very good, it's still an opinion. You declaring it's "factually awful" like Michael Scott still doesn't make it irrefutable.

Good and bad line deliveries can be objective facts. But you know that and you’re just here to get your contrarian fix for the day and feel like you hold some power in this world. Here’s your nourishment for today:

Blame the voice director. Fox doesn't sound anywhere near this robotic in her own movies.

That's not an "opinion", it's a straight up fact.

I am pretty sure that if Megan bothered to ever play this she would be wondering why that Vampire Lady sounds so bad.

While I agree Megan Fox isn't very good...

It was Megan's desperate attempt to remain "relevant". I highly doubt her inclusion made a single soul decide to buy the game who otherwise would not have. I really with the devs would have used the money that went to paying Megan and give us more game content instead...

Someone's late to the party... Pretty sure the moment we heard "Megan Fox", most knew what to expect.

Anybody saying Rhonda Roussey was better is being straight up delusional.

What it seems like to me is that the voice director was absent or sleeping on the job. They just expected Megan Fox to be enough. Every actor needs direction because they don't usually understand the tone of the game or their character beyond a few pages they read.

The other thing is unlike in MK11, MK1 intros seem to be very short, which I think is a bummer, but it also means that outside the story mode you don't really have to hear the voice actors say their lines for too long. Another thing is her screams seem to be way different from what Megan sounds like, which is really weird. I wonder if they just had her come in for lines and had someone else make the other sounds.

I've been playing the story and honestly it was so jarring when I got to the first cut scene with her even my community cringed with me live as we just became disillusioned I had to pause the game and laugh! Its awful. Like she just got a script and loves the sound of her own voice. Its HER as a vampire NOT her BEING a vampire. Very weird casting call I think any other professional would have done a far better job. I dont think shes very good at acting either just a pretty plastic woo doll lol but thats my opinion. Glad she doesnt have much screen time

I honestly think Amber Heard would have done a better job, especially after her infamous "dog stepped on a bee" scene (arguably her best acting than her actual films), trying to see MF as Nitara was a pisspoor effort, she sounds like she was reading it aloud in between sipping her coffee or whatever. Heck even Microsoft Sam would have been a better option than Meg. I had to mute the game every time Nitara came up as that was more believable
