ARVN voices

[Nick Nape'em]

I cant speak read or understand vietnamese in any way shape or form but is it me or do the ARVN voices seem more...i donno fluent? also could someone translate the also?

[Eg]

The north voice acting is utterly horrid. ARVN voices are really good

[Lain]

They are, the North Vietnamese voices were done during the voice actor strike a while back, so the VA for them wasn't...the best out there.

i wouldnt know. i would think that the VC were utterly insane so that could be a reason for the bad voice acting XD and the aussie voice acting is a bit on the side as well but this is back in the 1960s you know back when we said drongo?

2 other things as well.

1. If they were to do that, this would be untrue to life. NVA soldiers were from the North, where the accent is different from the South. NLF soldiers, it would be more historically accurate since they're South Vietnamese but fight for the North, but the voice lines wouldn't make sense, I mean, a Vietcong calling for air support and napalm?

2. The devs have already said it would be very expensive to record new voices, so if we're going to get any, it likely won't be soon.

Actually the North Vietnamese Acting is fuggin horrible , but the southern vietnamese have a really strong american accent.
After all, the voice actor is a vietnamese-american.
but honestly, RS2 fugged up voice acting wise compared to the preceding games.

The vietmanese voice acting is pretty bad just like the japanese in rising storm 1. It gives the games more of a cheesy B film feel to it and it's great.
