No, he's a Hollywood actor who got a role as a voice for an animated movie so that they could throw his name on a poster. There's nothing remarkable about his voice acting, it's just him recording lines. He wasn't selected because he's the best fit for the role. His inclusion isn't to make the most well made movie, it's to make the most profitable movie.

Also, well established? He's had a total of three voice acting roles in movies; The Lego Movie 1, its sequel, and the Pixar movie Onward. This is after he was in over a dozen movies.

No, he has been in fewer voice roles than Larry King. He is the definition of celebrity actor getting cast. Voice actors don't necessarily have the same set of skills as 'standard' actors and it often shows because a lot of standard actors in roles sound like poo poo, which is why Chris Pratt is easily the worst actor in The Lego Movies. There are occasional actors who can do both but that is because they spend a lot of time getting experience and actually working as a voice actor. (Mark Hamill, for example, is probably a better voice actor than an actor.)

Charles Martinet can do other voices. He voiced Paarthunax for example. He could do a non annoying Mario if he wanted.

Has anybody here played KoToR on Switch? Preferably from those for whom it was their first play through: does the game hold up? I’m not expecting it to have aged perfectly but is it still an engrossing sci-fi rpg or has it been too outclassed by the times?

i haven't played it on the switch but i tried playing it for the first time like 5 years ago and it definitely felt like baby's first rpg from bioware, not that the rest of their games are masterpieces either. it very much suffers from the "you must be either totally good or totally evil" thing they're notorious for

Get used to dice rolls saying you missed a lot.

I played them on the og Xbox. I feel that the biggest improvement that matters is reduced load times, now that everything uses solid state memory.

That's my problem with RF5. I'm not interested in any of the marriagable characters. Most of them look like they're 12. It's particularly bad even for that series.

The first Kotor has you start as one of the non-jedi classes, Jedi aren't available at first. It's a real pain. You have to switch to one of the superior Jedi ones as part of the story.

Oh yeah I just mean my first time through the game I was like "I'm gonna be a cool blaster soldier man! And then got railroaded into being a jedi, and when I tried to resist I got met with ABYSMAL damage.

The second one's a much better rpg imho, even if it's an "incomplete" game with a lot of missing content. The restored content mod is supposedly coming to the Switch version as free DLC sometime this year

i downloaded it on apple arcade and beat it on my fourth attempt.

not because i'm good at games or anything but it handed me an upgrade that just shaves off a point of max HP if you take fatal damage, so all i had to do was keep buying HP increases and smash my face against everything in front of me to win. the ending showed cameos of a whole bunch of characters who i hadn't even seen yet, so uhhhh i don't think this was intended. whoops

So we've got "you're only a good voice actor if you've had a lot of voice acting roles" and "you're only a good voice actor if you can do at least [undefined] different voices," does anyone else have any Takes about voice acting?

yeah, I do: most games don't need full voice acting, and fewer need voice acting localized into a different language than the creators'
