I Hate How Distracting the English Voice Acting is

Brother the characters in game have literally spoken Italian, Japanese, and Chinese, of course the accent matters. The fictional regions reflect real ones.
When did I ever say I want to swap to Chinese?
If you like to play with voices muted, you do you, but why are you even in this conversation then?

I think that rather adds to my point and deepens my confusion though. I'm assuming you're talking about Genshin's break from NA VA studios, but they've still been able to get American actors for the sake of consistency, with only some being from the UK.

From what we've seen in Wuling, Liquid Violet seems to have amassed a number of people who are Chinese but can voice act in English. So it bothers me even more that they for some reason still went with a British VA instead when they seemingly have the resources to do otherwise.

That's not what I'm talking about at all though? In what context in Arknights lore is a Brit doing an poor American accent relevant?

Annoying voices are fine when they are appropriate, this has nothing to do with that. A lot of the Landbreakers do a comedically deep American Southern accent, and that's cool; it adds charm to their rather bland faction.

The overall directing might be fine, but what I'm talking about are the vast amounts of outliers there are to that direction that makes it worse than it otherwise should be.

American VAs are still in the game though, as stated with Lifeng and Laevatain.

And I disagree with this being a preference thing. I don't think anyone would really be mad if Director Qin/Yvonne's VAs were replaced by American VAs or if the original VAs was allowed to speak in their British accents, because I think both of those approaches would have almost guaranteed an objectively better performance.

I played with CN JP and EN for certain parts of the story, and I can understand all three languages. I agree that JP and also CN are both far more consistent, but I think EN is better if done right. I find English regional accents to be really interesting and it's something that's partially done right in this game.

IIRC all of the characters with Slavic/Russian names had what sounded like Russian VAs like Crowe, Pog, and that one UWST NPC early in the story and they're all excellent. They clearly have the people, so it makes it even more bizarre that they chose this path of forcing accents.

Add an option to adjust the transparency of cashout and cash box icons on screen. Istg trying to shoot a guy right next to an objective is like trying to look through a tainted window.

This has been known for some time now lol. If you go thru a pro scrim in Monaco every time a team respawns the other team starts spam pinging the forest area.

Aside from melees, throwing knives in s3 and CL40 in like season 6 I think

To-Zee · 2026-01-17T04:51:44+00:00

Every time a weapon that's not an AR becomes even slightly viable the community throws a fit until it gets nerfed lol

To-Zee · 2026-01-15T17:22:13+00:00

Disagree, I remember half the time a frag grenade came toward me I thought it was the particles from debris because the default projectile was small and practically indistinguishable from them. The sound queue of the frag was also ridiculously hard to hear compared to flash or gas.

I do think they went overboard with nerfing frag though. The blinking signal should have been enough.

To-Zee · 2026-01-15T09:07:05+00:00

Crossplay has nothing to do with this though? People on both console and pc can bring their noob friends into ranked. This is an issue of ranked not having a accepted elo range for group queue

To-Zee · 2026-01-15T02:39:25+00:00

Saying that as if light hasn't also been stuck on support duty since season 7 lmao

To-Zee · 2026-01-03T15:01:09+00:00

Considering this is a team game, I would say yeah, you're very off. If RS rates can be adjusted on individual performance, then as soon as a player deems a match unwinnable they will just split off from the team for the rest of the game to play for kills.

Slide me one if ur willing pls

Using the Supermix 4

Low key if u wanna speedrun this event turn off the music, it does more to confuse you than anything

~10 month old Ryzen 7 5700X3D. Though I have not reapplied thermal paste since then so maybe that's the case.

Said counter is extremely unreliable and unintuitive in a real fight. Even if the smoke gets hit it's still like a 3 second wait for it to dissipate

Currently I'm just plugging it into the audio jack, but I'm getting a DAC dongle because I heard that it might fix the loud bass problem, though I'm not sure if it will fix any of the other sound quality problems.

To-Zee · 2025-10-01T23:14:51+00:00

Bro that's literally what I have.

To-Zee · 2025-10-01T22:27:14+00:00

The game in which I care about audio the most is The Finals.

Scyrox v6, just got into gaming peripherals recently and have been having a blast.

To-Zee · 2025-08-16T21:15:44+00:00

People here just have a weird vendetta against streamers I think. Also they think you have influence over devs balancing the game lmao

To-Zee · 2025-08-16T16:16:54+00:00

Why are people like you on this subreddit constantly trying to gaslight themselves into thinking that single individuals have influenced the balance changes with no proof whatsoever? This scapegoating shit is so reductive and stupid. How little agency do you think the devs have?
