Basic Posting Guidlines

  • Ready to post pics of your models? Make sure you post on imgur.
  • Can't see your post? Then PLEASE private message the modmail WITH A LINK TO THE POST who can unblock it
  • Do not try to sell or trade anything in this subreddit. This rule DOES include kickstarters - asking people to invest in your project is the same as trying to sell them something.
  • How to format your Army List: Army list discussion is quite popular and definitely encouraged in this subreddit. Only list the total cost of a unit in any given army list, as opposed to individually listing the costs of specific wargear and upgrades. For example:
    Troops:

  Tactical Marine Squad - 5 extra marines, 1 melta gun, 1 missile launcher, power weapon - X points

Elites:

  Stenguard Squad - 5 Combi-plasmas - X points
Do you want to appeal your thread/comment deletion? Double check the sidebar and rules, there's probably a reason for it. You can appeal a deletion by messaging the mod team with a link to the comments section of your post.
Thank you for adhering to our guidelines!

I'm not sure getting a big actor to do Eisenhorn's voice is a good thing.
PixelHero is a relatively small game company, I can't imagine they have a massive budget to make this title. If they're blowing it on one big voice actor... I'm not sure it's a great way to spend money. Surely it's better to spend that on Developers?
It might seem like having a decent voice actor would sell the game, but I'm not sure it will for a niche game like this.
On the plus side, at least they're taking voice acting seriously, as it can make a difference. Maybe just not this good.
Bear in mind, I'm not a games developer, not have I worked in a games development company, so I've nothing to back this up.
Yeah, this seems like a "Patrick Stewart in Oblivion" sort of thing.

No, it seems like a "Mark Strong in Space Marine" kind of thing.

Hm. Can't tell from your post history whether you're retarded or if that was a bad joke.
[–]unforgiving_sky 26 points27 points28 points  (9 children)
Mark Strong was Titus in Space Marine and has done numerous other voice acting roles. A lot of actors do voice work because it can be knocked out in a day or two and pays fairly well for the amount of effort put in.
I'm neither retarded nor joking. You're just a spergy cunt. No wonder shit sub gets shit on so much. An assclown like you as a mod? lmao
[–]muggetninja 8 points9 points10 points  (1 child)
Holy shit, he was titus? Mind blown. Thanks for making me have to go back and play space marine
[–]unforgiving_sky 7 points8 points9 points  (0 children)
Yep. As good as he was I'm very looking forward to seeing what he does as Eisenhorn.
[–]Darkjediben, Exalted Wielder of the Mighty Banhammer comment score below threshold-30 points-29 points-28 points  (6 children)
Oh. A retard, then.
Nobody suggested he wouldn't be good in the role, you illiterate fuckwad. Patrick Stewart was great as the Emperor of Cyrodiil, but his paycheck clearly affected the budget of the rest of the project, most notably voice acting for every other character in the game.
If you can't make the connection that we are talking about the actor's paycheck you just mentioned negatively affecting a game by an even smaller studio, then I don't know what to tell you, except that you may be just a little too dumb for this subreddit.
Why don't you see yourself out.

You seem to have a very strange idea of how much money is paid for voice acting. It's good money, but not amazing Hollywood money. Mark Strong isn't exactly top-tier A-list. They're not bringing in Kevin Spacey, for fuck's sake.
Then again, I'm pretty sure you know little of the world outside the precious shitsub where you reside.

And what was the excuse for Fallout 3 and Skyrim's shitty voice acting?
Fucking moron.

Are you actually trying to insinuate that the widely publicized and documented fact that Patrick Stewarts paycheck adversely affected the voice acting budget for oblivion never occurred? I think you're done.

Fuck no. Figure out how to google things. There's a difference between a specific claim that can't be sourced and you just being a lazy fuck who doesn't bother with a single search for veracity before demanding citations.

Oh yeah, and that was a pretty high profile game. Although I hope Mark Strong has more lines than Patrick Stewart...
[–]Darkjediben, Exalted Wielder of the Mighty Banhammer comment score below threshold-15 points-14 points-13 points  (1 child)
I meant more in the sense of "They blew their wad on Stewart and Sean Bean and had like 6 voice actors for the rest of the game". Small game like this is gonna suffer from paying a high profile actor.
[–]SpoonierMist 1 point2 points3 points  (0 children)
Ah yeah, good point!
