You can whine about actually having to explain a point all you want, but if you're going to make such a hyperbolic, broad generalization, be ready to defend it, or go somewhere else. I'll sleep like a baby regardless.Fine. Every NPC over every game. Better now? I don't have to blindly like everything in the series you know. Kids sound like nails on a chalkboard, old people sound hilariously bad and certain characters (lets take Noriko for example) sound bored out of their mind. Wang in Shenmue 1 sounds slow (as in, he's speaking at half speed) and Ine San ain't much better. Only characters I can stand in 1 are probably Tom, Chai and maybe Lan Di. The rest either crack me up or do my head in. For 2, I only played in English once and my same points stand, except for maybe Ren who I seem to recall was at least half decent.
For 3 - same thing especially with old people and kids.
Also - "false" is definitely an opinion, I don't have to like the voice overs, and in all three games I'd find it hard playing them in English ever again, certainly don't want 4 to ignore a Japanese dub as it'd hurt my enjoyment noticeably. But hey, I also don't ask them to remove English VA either, because I get for whatever reason some people actually like the "charm" of it.
Seems like you are free to call my "false" an opinion, as if I don't recognize what one is, when:
Unless they plan on actually paying for decent performances for the English dub... Because 1-3's are terrible.
Again, have all of the preferences you want, I don't care what language you speak or care to hear or read. But don't come in here patronizingly insulting someone else's preferences. I quite like how Ine - san sounds. Am I less of an English speaker? No. Get over yourself.
