These 3 people are probably responsible for 95% of your favorite video game characters

Jennifer Hale says WTF OP.
ID: hawimltID: hawj90xSorry what did you say? I couldn't hear you over Tara Strong stomping up the driveway.
ID: hawpn6zTara Strong has made this world a more enjoyable place.
ID: hawlxy4Literally 80%+ of my childhood right there lol
ID: hawm38lI think the rest of the CR cast also deserve to be up there since they're in just about as much as Troy, Laura, and Nolan are in. All equally iconic too.
ID: hawvevvI've learned to recognize Troy Baker whenever I think, "is that Matt Mercer? It sounds like him but also a little not?" I feel a little bad about it because I think it's Mr. Baker more often than Mr. Mercer, but at least whoever cast Naruto agrees with me that they sound an awful lot alike.
-
Their names and some examples of their work would be useful in the post.

ID: hawgy3hCan’t believe you forgot Skyrim, Laura Bailey is Serana
ID: hawhdkkList so phat, Blood Rayne didn't even make it to the front 😀
ID: hawe2hcFor Laura, she's voiced:
Jaina Proudmoore, Martha from Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, Mary Jane in the Spider-Man game, Kaine in Nier Replicant, usually Black Widow in any digital media (Marvel vs Capcom), Lucina in Super Smash Brothers and many (many, many, many, many, many) others.
And now you probably won't not hear her everywhere.
ID: hawedabSeriously...I hear the entire cast of Critical Role everywhere since I started watching last year. Matt Mercer, Liam O'Brien, Laura Bailey...they're goddamn everywhere in the anime/gaming landscape. (the other members of the cast have a reasonable presence, too, but I think they're not even 1/3 as much as the other 3 combined)
ID: hawill7She was also Serana in Elder Scrolls V Skyrim
ID: hawl7iwTroy baker Laura Bailey Nolan NorthID: hawhki8I don't know if this makes me a failure of a gamer, but I've never played/watched any of those.
ID: hawpm7gShe’s also female boss 1 in saints row 3 and 4. She’s hilarious.
-
Troy Baker, Laura Bailey, and Nolan North, for those who don't know who they are.
Edit: They are voice actors. Title is super vague. They voice tons of game characters (Probably voice more characters in games than anyone else in the industry.), and have also voiced anime and cartoon characters.
ID: hawbkceThank you. This sub has such an "If you know, you know" attitude with its post titles. Finding the title of the damn game they've just shared a screenshot of always takes some digging through the comments.
ID: hawegcu-sub
+website
humans get a real dopamine hit from "i know something you don't know"
ID: hawdoaxI'm mostly surprised that there's no mention of Matthew Mercer. He's in everything.
-
"Responsible" is a strong word lol
ID: hawg5dfFucking right? Writers made scripts, concept artists envisioned them, 3D modelers and texture artists visualized them, animators brought them to life and game directors were overseeing the process for years on end but it’s the voice actors that are responsible. Yeah, sure.
-
Which one is Donkey Kong?
-
Nolan North is so good that many people didn’t even notice that he replaced Nathan Fillion to play Cayde 6 in Destiny.
He also replaced Peter Dinklage in Destiny, but you were very much supposed to notice that.
ID: haw2o2yHold the fuck up, when did he replace Cayde? I knew he took over the Ghost but Cayde?
Edit: Damn, all of Forsaken was North. It's noticeable when you directly compare them but I didn't even notice at the time.
ID: haw3xrxLol. My point exactly.
-
Where the HECK is Jennifer Hale on here? She's amazing and voices so many freaking characters
ID: haw2299The absolute disrespect to not put Hale is astounding.
-
Still a shame Troy & Nolan had a falling out. Retro Replay on YouTube was great.
ID: havzjdmStill a lot of good content on their backlog.
Nolan needs someone like Troy to steer things, he tends to ramble aimlessly without a minder.
ID: hawbbvlHe hasn't even been on his own channel in over a month, and they did a big sale of stuff from the set recently I believe. I feel like the channel is going to call it quits very soon.
-
That's not David Hayter.
-
95% seems a bit high - just like OP
ID: haw60c4Not only that, OP's title insultingly sells the actual game development team short. A good game can easily survive bad - or no - voice acting at all. A bad game will never be rescued by the best acting in the universe.
-
90% of my favorite games don't even have voice acting
-
Weird I don’t see Matt Mercer or Sam riegel here………
ID: havz0v6I feel like Sam does a lot more directing than acting these days.
ID: haw47lsAlso Keith David although he gets a lot of credit in other posts.
-
Ahhhh favorite game character <not video> 100% Jester
ID: haw0kazAbsofuckinglutely.
I would 100% share a cupcake with her.
ID: haw2ua7Like, okaaaay, sooo, maybeee, you poopin?
ID: haw2xteAnd anyone un-critter related is absolutely confused
ID: haw8d8b“It’s me, Jester. Hey, I don’t know if you’re alone. If you’re not and you’re following us, cough once if you’re not following us”
-
Hate to break it to you but Yuri Lowenthal isn't there an he is probably responsible for 95% of my favourite characters alone.
ID: hawfilqPlaying Fallout New Vegas, and all of a sudden I hear Sasuke Uchiha talking about Caesar. Yuri and Steve Blum are in all the games.
-
It's a shame none of those three are Steve Blum
-
You could at least name them or their work. How is anyone learning who they are?
-
They are responsible for the voices. Not the writing, the modeling, the animations, the characterization.
They’re responsible for 10% of your favorite character.
ID: havn9vvEven Nolan North (Nathan Drake) himself agrees with this statement:
"The performance of every designer, every programmer, of every hard working and talented person who works at that office [at Naughty Dog] That performance is so important. … And their performance matters more than mine. And that’s important in this day and age, with all this talk going back and forth. Because without their performance, my performance wouldn’t matter. It wouldn’t even exist.”

Lol. My thoughts exactly.
