Title: Awful (but hilarious) English dubs in gaming
Post by: satoshi_matrix on August 14, 2010, 11:31:21 pm
Since the early days of CD systems, there have been many videogames made with laughably bad audio. Games with small budgets, translation teams not exactly versed in everyday English, and flat out bad acting have contributed to some real audio winners.

I'd like to dedicate a thread here to some of those hilarious dubs that have been made over the years.

If possible, please include a clip from the game you mention so we can all experience the laughter and tears.

I already of course can name a half-dozen, but I'll start things off with an uncommon one: Robot Alchemic Drive (R.A.D for PS2).

And now its your turn!

A classic one is Zero Wing. Can't forget that gem!

Here's a clip

The voice acting is quite bad, but there is really something like bread soup! My great grandma said that they ate that a lot in the war years and even after the war when money and supplies were tight.

Sounds soggy and gross. I'd rather just eat the bread then drink the water!

I mostly posted that for the sake of the ending of the video. This to me is why some games shouldn't be translated.

Kiyaaaaaaaaah!

This game is only fun to play for the horrible voice acting & translation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rphx550e52w

Actually, it sounds kind of good to me. But in my mind, the bread tastes like a croûton.
