I believe this is something that we have to settle. Bad VA has disgraced many a game in the past, and will continue to do in the future, regardless of how much money is spent on the development of a videogame. I'll kickstart this thread with one of my finest choices of shit VA in games. Eternal Sonata. Everybody sucks in here, but Polka is especially cringe-inducing.

LOL Holy shit that's horrendous. It's been a while since I played the game. I don't remember it being that shitty.

I mean, elebits.

Suikoden Tierkris is just bizarre -- with all that speed talking.

Grandia had some bad moments as well: (great music though)

STARTS AT 1:30

HOTD 2 was appalling and Tales of Symphonia was pretty bad IMO.

Tales of Vesperia is awful. I always thought the HOTD games were intentionally that way.  "SufferlikeGdid?"

How many good games have good voice acting? Not acceptable, but actually good. I can't think of many western games. Maybe a couple of Japanese ones, but then again a lot of western voice acting is terribel outside of games as well. And i don't mean anime dubs.
