The voice acting

[Dhomochevsky]

Why is the main voice actor so bad at delivering her lines, and I meen none of them are diliverd well. Also the logic in why things are happening, and what the character are doing is just as terrible as Two Souls.

I guess thats your opinion and everyone has the right to their own opinion. I do like the voice acting of the main character as well as of the others. I didn't get the impression she was bad in delivering her lines. About the logic thing, I am not sure if we can discuss that without spoilers here, but I didn't anything illogical. Oh yeah, and I loved Beyound Two Souls. :)

I don't think it's bad. I like it how it is.

I don't think the voice-acting is bad, I think itś just about right. But that is opinion.

So, what did you think was not logical?

If you fear spoilers, you can put your text between ´spoiler tags´ like this: [spoiler]blacked out text, made visible by moving the mouse over it.[/spoiler], which will look like this: blacked out text, made visible by moving the mouse over it.

I like the voice acting. The main character is - for the most part - a random/normal person, I wouldn't expect her to sound/act like a major movie star, for example. THAT would be weird.

Op talking bad about a awsome game that he doesn't own and has level 0 steam level with private profile with no profile pic yah we should listen to you (sarcasm...........)

I'll make my self a little more clear about what I mean. her acting is flat for example there is a point in the story where the punk gril reveles something bad that happend to her, and Maxine says "I'm so angry I can't even speek" which is acted with no emotion what so ever you could get a better read from a robot.
Here is a link to what I mean http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSlQuNoUCzs&t=10m53s
warrning minor spoilers.

Hyperbole: exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally.

If she was so furious she couldn't even speak she wouldn't be speaking saying that she was furious. Clearly she was exaggerating. Calm down, bro, the voice acting in this game is fine.

Why critics are always from lvl 0 steamers?

Oh come on guys, you have to admit, in that clip he posted the delivery is infact flat and robotic.

The video has someone else giving comments, so I've rewatched the scene and the voice-acting sounds natural and fitting. Maybe you've been watching too many sitcoms? Or have you been smoking something again?

I can see where he's coming from. The voice acting isn't exactly flawless, but I believe it suits the character. Max is a quiet and seemingly shy girl so even when she's angry I don't think it's credible for her to just flip out as a character like Chloe would.

I don't really like when she swears as it comes out as something read off a script rather than what Max would actually say.

Now the dialogue however, is another story. I know they're supposed to be teenagers but using words like "thunk" instead of "think", really?

I thought the clip seemed off. Thanks for rechecking the scene. I was going to do it but was too lazy.

Your welcome.

The voice acting is like nails on a chalkboards a lot of times made worse by the writing of(some of) the dialogue itself ..max in particular seemingly sometimes seem to communicate using a mix of bad pleasantries and platitudes that seems kind of forced and artificial at times

This is probably because its probably written by someone who doesn't use English as a first language.

but.
Also its a testament to how otherwise strong the story and the game itself is

I just watched the first viedeo on the store page (not all of of it) and from that the voice acting sounds good to me? (I don't own the game).
