Athena's voice doesn't have that other-worldly sound to it here. The orignal voice had this reverb added to it that gave it that effect.

@Camurgladius Ай бұрын

I honestly think the change in the voice acting makes this a pass for me by itself, currently. The original Athena VA is, genuinely, iconic, and the other VAs almost all gave performances filled with character. These look to be as flat and directionless as, well...as the AoE2DE vocal performances, unfortunately--I suspect Gargarensis and Ajax will REALLY suffer from this, and Arkantos already just doesn't have the same fire (look at the the gulf in delivery for the "This errand will not take long", as an example--the original Theocrat also gave a performance that helped support later plot developments on re-play). It genuinely seems like first-time script reads, and that once again "accurate accents" are being prioritized over quality. (Which is also a bit silly because, you know, Atlantis never existed--and the other languages likely sounded different given we're dealing with over two millennia ago.) I could look past the *severe* downgrade in performance quality in AoE2DE enough to still buy it because of everything else on offer, but it doesn't seem like that will apply here. Pretty disappointing to have IMO worse art and worse acting two decades later. (I do appreciate the video from Ornlu, to be clear, and will keep checking in to see if somehow later scenarios pick it up or add something sufficiently worthwhile. But I felt like sharing my reaction to the actual game on offer as well, and to my own disappointment, it's pretty firmly negative. I fundamentally disagree with the management/development choices seemingly on display here.)

@@ethan1142028 "invented by the British" yes, before the Greek War of Independence the Peloponnese was empty and had absolutely no one there. Modern Greek Nationalism might have been "invented" by the Brits, but the Greek Language and Greek People were *not* invented. They were always there, speaking their evolution of *their* language. So it is more authentic to have Achaeans speaking modern Greek than some Americans. Is this authenticity vital? That's a different argument.

@@ethan1142028 Holy shit imagine being so wrong. Modern Greek is not that linguistically different from Homeric Greek. While naturally there are many changes with the transitioning from Ancient Greece to Koine Greece to early Medieval and modern Greece, its silly to pretend somehow English, A West Germanic language is as close to Ancient Greece as a modern Hellenic language! The relation between modern Greeks and Ancient Greeks is perhaps often more viewed trough the problematic lenses of Nationalism, but to deny that the modern Greeks and the Modern Greek languages have a significant connection to the Ancient Greeks is ludicrous and a-historical. God, this almost sounds like one of those deranged Balkan nationalist rants.

Ugh, same issue with the voices that AoE2 DE had. I don't know why they decided to change a beloved set of VAs again.

I can't believe they didn't take any feedback from AoE2 DE where people complained at how unemotive the new VAs were, and instead did the same here.

Jesus this voice acting is terrible. And i'm not talking about the interruptions, just the voice tones irks me off. The original at least felt more serious. Athena's original voice was more melancholic, showing worry for a champion fighing his past in his dreams, a woman worried about a wary and worn down man. This one? Feels disconnected and condescending... It doesn't fit.

@bhupindersohal4972 Ай бұрын

The voice acting, though well done, is not as good as the original. Something can be well done but not fit. IE putting a yellow wooden table in a room themed around black and white. The table itself could be phenominal, but it doesnt fit in the room. Thats how I feel about the voice acting. Athena doesnt sound like a god(dess) and Arkantos doesnt have the vitriol he sounds like he has in the original. Overall disappointed so far. As for the look, it both looks amazing and terrible at the same time. The backgrounds and environments are great if not too bright. The models are kind of just...low quality? They're clearly nice but the contrast of the portrait and the models in the cutscenes is immersion breaking and makes the models look weird
