Troy Baker is EVERYWHERE
Am i the only person who finds that Troy Baker is in too many games? In big AAA titles he always plays the roll of the protagonist or the antagonist. Want the list? Here:

Arkham Knight in Arkham Knight
Two Face in Arkham Knight
Red Hood in Arkham Knight
Ocelot in MGS 5 and Ground Zeroes
A few characters in Mortal kombat X
Sam in Uncharted 4
Pagan Min in Far Cry 4
Jack Mitchell in CoD Advanced Warfare
Delsin in Infamous: Second Son
Joker in Arkham Origins
Joel in The Last of Us

Oh and FYI this was all in about 2 years.

Talented voice actors get work. Don't see what the problem is.

Yeah but when playing through any of these games I never thought "Wow this is amazing acting it must be Troy Baker"

Even when something is good when it's overused it just gets annoying. You can play your favourite game ever but it's never going to be as fun as the first time you played it.

Depends on the game. If someone is talented they should get work, beign good at what you do should result in rewards in my opinion.

The gaming industry tends to hang on to good voice actors because so many games have questionable acting. And whenever a particular game and/or character is successful the voice actor is attributed to the success...and therefore, is used in other projects.

The problem is, too much good is bad. I also don't like when same actors in different films.

Reminds me of when Nolan North was in everything, too. Don't really hear him much these days though.

What did Nolan North do either than Nathan Drake, Penguin, and Deadpool?

Then why doesn't Reuben Langdon (freaking Dante from Devil May Cry) get any more acting jobs?

Devil May Cry wasn't a beacon of great voice acting...none of them are.

Than you must avoid all films because they all do multiple films unless they do a flop.

So DMC has bad voice acting but whenever you play one of the games I mentioned you're going "WOW THE VOICE ACTING IS AMAZING"

Just because the first game has one bad line it doesn't mean the other games have bad voice acting. I'm mainly talking about 3 and 4 where it was really entertaining to watch cutscenes with Dante in them.

Saints Row 4, one of the voice options for the player
Call of Duty Zombies, Rictofen
The Last Of Us, the guy who tried to rape Ellie
Fable 2, male player character
Assassin's Creed, Desmond. Abbas (in the first game), and Adam
Spec Ops: The Line, Walker
Sly Cooper 4, Le Paradox and El Jeffe
Portal 2, several cores and I believe the defective turrets
Team Fortress 2, Merasmus

And other roles of varying levels of importance.

If you can change the voice then i don't care, like at least with Pagan Min and the Joker he changed his voice so i didn't mind. However, if it's the same voice for every character then i think it's probably been done to death.

Ugh....no. That was not good voice acting. Sorry. I know it is subjective opinion. It was due to the script as well as the voice acting. It was awful in both of those games.

Dante is an entertaining character...but not because he ever had great voice acting.

What if games tried the silent approach like many uber famous movies did?
