Congrats, dev. You are now a millionaire.

Now hire some voice actors. PLEASE.

[Toki]

Nah, this half-life style voice stuff is great. Feeds the good ol memberberries of years long ago

[MechWarden]

Wasn't worth clicking on.

[StopItStepBro]

At least put a hook on it, some fish know better

L take, this game has endearing voice acting, what are you talking about?

[c0tte]

I found voice acting pretty fitting too

[Valen Logan]

I think it is kinda funny that the one female VO does all the voices. Pretty sure she even does the Layek.

Look, I get people like the voice acting for it's endearing quality, but the same couple voice actors doing everything gets a little jarring. I'm not ragging on their work, I just want to get a little more immersed. I get thrown out of it when I realize it's the same person again. I'd like to hear a few more voice actors involved in the big updates. The audio *quality* can stay as it is.

[Lucky_Star_Fan]

Nope, current voices are great. I look forward to more Dr. Manse recordings!

People with takes like this need to be shunned.

Have you ever played Half-Life, and heard the voice lines of all the copy and paste scientists, and security guards?

Unintentional or not, they pretty much mimicked the spirit of that in this game.

Granted, Valve did hire a few good voice acts for HL, so it isn't a perfect comparison.

The voice acting is kinda mediocre, but honestly that's fine in a game like this.

I don't buy the excuse people are using that they are just paying homage to Half-Life with bad voice acting though. The reason that game had bad voice acting was due to the constraints and expectations of the time being different - not by inherent design choice.

It is a bit jarring when the voice acting sounds so phoned in though. It breaks my immersion a bit, but it isn't THAT bad all things considered.

If the devs could get a bit more in the way of voice acting it would be nice.

Half-Life, Opposing Force, Blueshift, 2 and both episodes. I was playing Half-Life before I had a steam account.

Ok, same as me. Just found it odd to be that picky when HL was almost the sameway.

Have to admit some of the acting was a bit hammed up, but I kind of liked it. I didn't pay much attention to that aspect (though that one injured security guard did bug me in the playtest and demo). The game play is what I'm more focused on, and that's been holding my attetion.
