I'm going to assume it's just minor things that are untranslated like combat phrases and what not?

I say these are "minor things" but I also play a lot of games in eng (like Genshin) because of untranslated combat/idle lines so

giving up quality of performance for the main character etc and all of the cutscenes so you can understand the combat barks is pyschotic. doubly so bcos not understanding combat barks makes them 1000x less annoying

to be completely sincere on the subject - stuff like BotW is something I want to like. Twice now I've tried to make it through the game but I always just burn out. And that is wholly on me because I feel like BotW (and especially TotK) require some creativity on the part of the player. Every time I see someone gush about those games, they talk about all of the creative hijinks they get into.

I am not a creative person. Just like some people struggle with directions, I struggle with sandboxy "make your own fun" games

This is why I tend to stick to fairly linear narratively-dense RPGs.

It's a good and smart thing to understand your own tastes and preferred way of approaching things, especially to understand why you don't enjoy something and whether because it's poorly executed or it's just executed in a way that doesn't appeal to you.

SungWon does a very good job in Craig of the Creek so he's not just strictly a dubber either.

I enjoyed 7's English dub but just like Triangle Strategy I might stick to Japanese for Infinite Wealth. At least until that mod that replaces Kiryu with his Japanese voice while everyone else stays English is finished.

Silly game 'Roundabout' has a lot of youtuber and ex-SA people doing all the voice acting. It works because the performances are kinda bad on purpose - that's usually bullshit I know, but in Roundabout it's true. They're going for something specific.

Yeah it's another good example of a mostly fine/great English voice cast being ruined by one specific voice and it's the voice of one of the MCs so you have to hear it all the time.
