Actually I prefer to play Japanese games with the original audio. It's far superior to English dubs

I speak Japanese.
I will never be these people

Why wouldn't you be?
It's not a question of good Japanese acting. It's a question of shitty Western acting.

Something about the anime art style clashes with English, and I grew up with dubbed Dragon Ball stuff. Other media set in Japan, like Yakuza or Sekiro, should also be consumed in Japanese.

Go ask Yea Forums
They moved on from this tired argument over a decade ago.

When was the last time you spoke to a subfag who was even halfway fluent in Japanese?

>He didn't learn Japanese just so he could read Hentai and Doujin

>The whole Yakuza series

But sure, OP, go ahead and try to play the dub from 1

Non english speaking countries are used to reading subtitles. English speakers, particularly Americans, are exclusive in their preference of dubs. Acting ascends accessibility to anybody invested in meaningful consumption of fiction. Subbed scripts are always, without fail, more accurate than dub scripts.

What about when the subs use the dub lines, and not the original ones.

>I actually prefer orchestral music, it's far superior to pop.
>"Oh you speak violin?"
>Uhhh... well, no. But you can hear the emotion in its sounds.

There are several animes that have far better dubs than subs, but you might be correct as far as games are concerned.

I don't see that. Sometimes a popular VA will speak in a game and it might be a pretty similar voice that's they've done before, but a good portion of the time it's a fairly fitting voice for the character. Not brock from pokemon doing the best old king ghost that he can, or a text-to-speech sample voice playing the role of a major character

There are not

Baccano

muh Ghost Stories

Cowboy Bebop and YYH

Name four.

I speak Japanese, and I still prefer a lot of dubs. Obviously not all of them, but Persona, Dragon Ball, and Tales or Berseria have all been dub stand outs to me.

Baccano

How can you say no to Rina Sato when given the option?
She's great.

>subs use dub lines
At that point it would simply be up acting preference. English dubbing over Japanese dialogue usually has a very awkward lack of pauses/breaks between sentences, so I'd probably still stick with JP. If the dub doesn't need to bother with lip syncing and retiming than it would genuinely just be actor preference.

NOOO DELETE THIS ALL SUBS ARE SUPERIOR SHUT UP SHUT U P SHUT UIOP

>food analogy

Dragon Ball Z
Fuck grandma Goku

have you ever watched a dubbed godzilla movie?

Depends on the game. If there's voice acting in the middle of gameplay, I'll ususally stick with English even if it isn't good because subtitles get in the way. If that isn't the case, I'd rather set it to Japanese where I don't know if the acting is good/bad, than a bad English dub, even if that Japanese acting happens to be in reality even worse than the English dub.

Actually, I do in fact happen to speak japanese
Additionally, I also happen to despise EOPs that think they're hot shit for using Japanese voiceover but don't actually know the language and have English UIs

Absolutely impeccable taste. And yes the English dub is superior. It's set in the USA after all.

Speaking Japanese doesn't exempt you from being a retard.

This but I also like listening to games with setting appropriate language (which is rarely a fucking option)
e.g. playing Ass Creed 2 in Italian.

I prefer original Japanese VAs. I can't tolerate dubs unless they're well done. American grannies trying to sound cute is awfull.

Hate voice acting in vydia because it's always cringy

I always change it to whatever sounds the best if that's Japanese or German it doesn't matter I just don't want to be able to understand it

I feel bad for you. Japanese only sounds good if you don't know what they're saying. For maximum escapism, Japanese is basically a language from a fantasy realm instead of from a country full of real people.

It kind of makes sense for AC2 to be in English though, because you're really playing as Desmond, who doesn't speak Italian. The little Italian you do hear is supposed to be due to the translation software being spotty. They'd be more concerned with him knowing what the fuck's going on than giving him an authentic experience.

It's true though, jap actors are just plain better. In the west voice acting is done mostly for children's shows or comedy cartoons, and voice actors are selected on the basis of having a large repertoire of silly voices, which makes them sound ridiculous when they try to do anything remotely serious. Japanese voice actors are fundamentally actors in that they are trying to convey a convincing character rather than doing a funny voice, and most of their voicework is just their natural speaking voice or a slight variation, which is why it's so easy to recognize Japanese voice actors across different shows or games. The few western voice actors capable of doing convincing serious voices have a similar method, which is why every game hires the same small handful of easily recognizable VAs like Troy Baker, Nolan North, Liam O'Brien, Robin Atkin Downes, etc.

I accept the distate to grandma Goku. It was a rare poor cast, from a foreigner perspective. Women portraying shounen protags is more common from a Japanese perspective, but definitely not to any foreigners.

Just as an example.
I fucking adore that Nioh just has William speak English while everyone else speaks Japanese or very shitty English. It's good shit,

Voice acting is taken as a serious career in Japan. There are vocational schools for voice acting unlike in the west where it is all about where you live, who you know and whose dick you suck.

There's actually a Japanese website solely focusing on western media and stuff. They report it every time an anime gets an English dub and under every article you have westerboos saying how great the voices are and how they love them.
Needless to say that the majority of them can't speak English.
The autism goes both ways.

That being said, English dubs still suck most of the time. English just differs too much from Japanese to not sound cringey when translated.

Setting-Appropriate languages are always a good bonus. I'll even take hilariously overplayed accents as long as it's funny, Especially if they're mixed in with the actual language.
>THE RAYLTRACEAH

Surely there's one example of hilariously bad japanese voice acting?

Japan has a bigger industry, such as how they have generally better animators.

the funny thing is according to grandma goku, most japanese VAs can't act for shit and are only good at making a certain voice.

Dubs are very often bad

That's fine because you aren't being an autismo and claiming that the Polish audio is objective better like subfags do.

Most Japanese games include the -chans and -kuns in the dub, and the only fucking time I want an English speaker to pronounce the sound kun is if it's a racial slur.

dubs are disgusting. if you can't distinguish emotion in voice, then you're retarded

You could say the same about western VAs like Matt Mercer, Nolan North and Troy Baker. Hurr durr one voice wonders.
It's not true though, they all have fantastic range but they get typecast and told by shitty voice directors to do their usual thing again and again and again.

Ever heard of subtitles?

The seiyuu industry certainly has a higher performance standard than what we have in English. Typecasting is a thing even with huge seiyuu, so I don't get why that would be a universal.

but you said you played it in the original language.

*universal negative

You're not very smart, are you?

Bayonetta has no Japanese audio

Honest opinion?
So don't have to hear how cringe all of the writing is.
Same with my own language and English to some extent.

I like Grandma Goku but I guess it's mainly because it feels less strange if you watched Dragon Ball from the very beginning. Although you could argue he should have gotten a new voice when he becomes tall as fuck near the end of DB.

well you're either retarded or a liar.

I prefer immersion. I wouldn't play Kingdom Hearts or MGS in Japanese even if I had the choice, because the characters are supposed to be westerners. I would play Persona and Nier in Japanese, though, as it feels more authentic to me. I also played Metro games in Russian.

I prefer pointing to instrumental music because it conveys emotion with literally no language whatsoever and absolutely fucks the idea that you can't understand the emotion of a language you don't know with zero possible comeback.

You cannot refute this.

The difference is, people who do that don't claim the original language is objectively superior or throw autistic shitfits if you say you prefer to watch them in your native language.

That’s always my biggest complaint about Japanese dubs, all the voice actors for every game and anime ever all sound the exact same. There’s only like 5 maybe 6 different voices the Japanese appear to be capable of.

Japanese writing sounds retarded when it's translated to SPOKEN English. It's not even the quality of the voice actors, there's just something about Japanese script -> spoken English that produces stilted, awkward, unnatural dialogue. Hence why many of the best anime dubs deviate significantly from the original script (Ghost Stories, P&S).

With subs you get the original natural tone and flow of conversation + the full content.

As a general rule for all media, it should be best experienced in its original form, whatever that language may be.

8年ぐらい日本語を勉強している関わらず、英語の声優より、日本の声優のほうが良い。バカ。

You're right, I can't refute your nonexistent arguments.
Care to explain literally any of those opinions?

But I like Metal Gear in English better.

Also adding to this, Fooly Cooly has a great dub.

I watch foreign movies and play foreign games in their original language.
It's not a 'Japanese is so much better' thing, as I watch French films in French and German films in German.

Did you play stalker with dub?
You're retarded

I mean, nothing?
Like, you can't even listen to Flight of the Bumblebee and get the imagery in your head?

Japanese voice actors are better than English ones 99% of the time. The va industry in Japan is bigger than the acting industry, people go to school to be one, and it's a meritocracy so if you suck you get phased out. English VAs are cheap knockoffs and only get hired out of convenience.

I prefer being ignorant, not knowing if the jap voice acting is good or not as opposed to listening to unnatural sounding English dubs. The dialogue is written in japanese, as such there are phrases and loud screaming that only make sense in Japanese. Listening to a localized English version of weird Japanese phrasing really hits the uncanny valley for me and it makes me feel uncomfortable. I'd much rather listen to a sub-par Japanese dub (I couldn't tell the quality anyway) rather than a decent english dub.

>you can't even listen to Flight of the Bumblebee and get the imagery in your head?
Do normies actually see images in their head when listening to music?

Very rarely, but only if I really know what's "going on" beforehand. By that I mean I need to know exactly what the composer was going for and any "story" that exists to the piece. I always feel like some clueless idiot when I attend orchestras, like I'm missing whatever everyone else is getting out of it.

Your post is spot on there, chances are I wouldn't have gotten any of the imagery if I just listened to the piece randomly, even if I knew the title.

does Stalker even have a language selection that comes with the game?

Are you an NPC?

I only use non-english subs in 2 scenarios:

1. The English dub is so insufferably bad, I'd rather not hear it at all. At least if it's in a language I don't know, it's harder to notice the bad acting.
2. The game does a good job of getting you immersed in another country, so I'll put that country's native speaking language as the default setting. Metro and Stalker is a good example, I always do Russin Dub + English sub.

Yeah, that's really uncommon. The only examples I can think of are Wolfenstein (a little Polish alongside English, it's different than in most shooters because often all the "good guys" just speak English regardless of their nationality - like Russians in old COD games) and Steins;Gate (Okabe's cringy Engrish).
I also like when each character speaks their native language and they all understand each other, like in Tekken. But that's only for lulz, it wouldn't match a serious game.

i don't see classical music as some kind of iq test, there's is nothing to "get" for me, or figure out. i either like it or dislike it, instantly and i dislike 99.9% of it. that's my idea of it anyway. it's about emotional resonance. some will be affected, others not. there's nothing wrong with you. plenty of people don't like classical music.
i get shivers from these every time, even though they're quite different emotionally. and i have little to no clue what the composers were thinking except for the one from romeo and juliet.

I like it, very upbeat and it did cheer me up. It's not that I get nothing out of music, but it's always just very basic emotions if anything. Never anything like is implying where you see bees flying around or something.

My imagination is fine as far as I can tell, except it just doesn't apply when it comes to music. I can usually identify whatever emotion the piece is going for even if it doesn't evoke it for me, but that's about as far as it goes. Maybe my brain is just fucked up somehow.

Very close taste to me my friend but I'd have Debussy in there too.

Wait, people actually play with dubs? This is not exclusive to Japanese games. If you play / watch dubs you're a retard. Just use subtitles you illiterate fuck.

Most countries in Western Europe have all their media dubbed. I've been to some that only have subs except cartoons (like Croatia).
Here in Poland almost everything has voice-over translation (one guy reading a translated text over the original audio track), except for cartoons, which are fully dubbed. Many of the VAs from The Witcher also dub cartoons. STALKER here had a movie-like voice-over on original Russian dialogue with a reader that used to provide his voice for many movies in the past. That's why almost everyone here loves that version and they even prefer it to the original Russian. I hate voice-over in movies but I loved STALKER, too. There's something magical about it.

I disagree unless they've recently dubbed the movies/nuAnime

My real problem with dubs most of the time is that they try to fit the speaking into the frame of the talking animations and so a lot of the times they sound like they are just saying one giant run-on sentence instead of talking like a normal person. Also a lot of it is pretty monotone to be honest. Some things do have an excellent dub and I enjoy them, see: Near a Tomato

>Persona
3's dub is passable, beyond that you're a fucking retard.

Kill yourself retarded dub scum.

You can't tell either, if you don't understand the language.

I played some Assassin's Creed games with language matching the setting, because my native language has subs only.

How can one faggot be so wrong?

Weeb faggot.
>Wow when they said "OHH CHING CHING BING BONG" it was sooo much more emotional than the dub I actually understand!!

This but unironically

>I prefer subs because I hate localizations
Is this still a bad argument when you have moments like the Prison School dub inserting a gamergate reference?

I don't get why this annoys people so much. So what if they use Japanese honorifics? It takes place in Japan

Cowboy Bebop
Samurai Champloo
The latter is westaboo as fuck so the dub is actually better than the original.

>Jojo
>DBZ
Both of you are wrong and stupid as fuck. DBZ's dub is only better insofar as the original release had the god tier Faulconer soundtrack.

The fucking Abridged dub for Hellsing is better than the official one.

Left-handed gamers aren't people.

I too love to parrot bullshit I hear from weebs

Doesn't apply if it's on a case-by-case basis like your example. If I heard something like that I'd drop the dub immediately and rewatch the entire thing in subs from the start.

Why do you dubfags have such an intense inferiority complex? Nobody cares that you use dubs made for kids, everyone has their own guilty pleasures

>anime
I don't like how metro doesn't sub all background chatter and minor character conversations. Makes me feel left out of certain things when playing the game with russian dub.

If an english dub is shit I'll watch it in japanese, how is this hard to understand?

Random untranslated words. Somehow good translations like Phoenix Wright do not need them.

That bothers me too. I wish more games too a note from Valve games and has a second subtitle setting that gets everything but isn't straight closed captions

no but i will play it in japanese if the english voices are awful, i dont speak japanese so i can't tell if its particularly bad

So? Who gives a shit? I understand honorifics. I'm pretty sure most people can infer their meaning after a while. And even if they can't all it takes is a quick Wikipedia search to know that they mean.

>the acting is better

Japs are waay overdramatic and melodramatic, to the point that its incredibly annoying.

So, you watch Asian movies on English dub as well? Or you're one of those that "would never watch something on those filthy languages"?

Certainly not.
If I choose to play with subs over dubs, it's because I hate the sound of the horrible overacting 43 year old woman voicing a young female. This isn't to say I understand Japanese or even prefer it, this simply means I'd take any other language that sounds less irritating due to not being able to tell if it's good since I just read the subtitles/textboxes regardless.
In essence, Subs I can't tell the quality of > dub I can tell is shitty.
And there are some dubs I do choose to keep on in the end, it's just rare. If all else fails or the option to change it is not there, I mute all voiced lines.

If you'd rather watch a magic highschool show in English you should neck yourself.

>discussing dubs on a newfag board
Anybody that has seen more than 10 subbed anime and has an above room temperature IQ understands that dubs are shit by design. The anime you watched on TV/VHS when you were a teenager isn't an exception. All these anime are popular in the West, the quality of the dub is inconsequential to this. The employed talent pool for English dubs is small, especially pre 2000s, so there's a fuck ton of crossover. It's fucking bonehead retarded to think that those actors and writers somehow exclusively did a decent job on the series that happened to become incredibly popular, and not with any of the less notable series that were dubbed by the exact same group. Being a casual viewer isn't bad, but don't intellectualize your baseless preferences.

>Who gives a shit?
People who want an actual translation? You can literally use your argument for anything.
>Why translate -tachi, you can just Google it to find out it means a group or "and the others".
>Why translate ken when they're talking about swords? You can just Google it and know it's a sword.
It's not properly translated, it instantly makes the sentence stilted, if you've never encountered the concept before it will make no sense at all unless you use outside sources to understand what they mean, and it's cringeworthy listening to it in English. The only thing you don't translate are proper names, everything else should be translated, even if you dislike it. Things like "Kazzy" in Yakuza are superior to reading "Kiryu-chan" because it means the same shit.

>Kings. Anyone who has made it through the hilariously simple path of learning Japanese, especially in the internet age where high quality learning material is available around every corner, has managed to elevate themselves a few orders of magnitude above the petty arguments of sub v dub.
Agreed, we have so many tools these days that make it super easy. If you don't have any plans to learn then perhaps gaming is really not the hobby for you.

I dislike the majority of English speaking VAs, and will often turn off voice completely rather than listen to them. If a game has a voice track in another language I'll give that a shot as its usually at least tolerable. Not being a native speaker of whichever foreign language I consider to be a plus, as I can't tell if they're doing a shit job or not.

That being said there is a game with no discernibly bad voice tracks (even English) that I found to be best in its original language of Polish, The Witcher.

Just because you have sub-70 iq, doesn't mean everyone else does.

Sometimes it's a better dub than both Japanese and English.

I always prefer to watch a show in the language it was created in.

NOOOOOOO YOU SHOULD PREFER SOME RANDOM PICKED OFF THE STREET READING A POORLY TRANSLATED SCRIPT FOR MINIMUM WAGE
HOW CAN YOU HEAR EMOTION IN SOMEONE'S VOICE WHEN YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND THE LANGUAGE AND READING IS TOO STRESSFUL FOR LONG PERIODS

It's not even an autismo thing, many people in other countries want subbed over dubbed, especially in asian cultures. When I was an RA for the international students in college a lot of them had watched western cartoons and movies and shit and they insisted on watching it in english.

Also chinese students literally pirate everything, I had to have multiple meetings with so many of them because of them downloading things illegally and the college getting shit for it.

Someone post the 2ch rant image about the king of the hill dub

>dubcucks will listen to this

On PC in Japan they literally sell the Japanese language packs separate from the game itself at an extortionate price

you can not fucking convince me that this 17 year old japanese kid has the same voice and mannerisms as mcree overwatch

In the dub they probably changed it so he's 30

But an old lady voices a ton of people in Dragon Ball.

That's why I didn't quote anybody mentioning the db dub

america voice actors suck half the time. they try to find the most annoying fuck face they can for shit . disgaea hour of darkness is unplayable with voices if you own a american copy. great game horrible voice actors but if i was playing the japanese version its fine and you get tone / inflection data from people speaking even if you dont know what they say

How the fuck is the original japanese dub or even the art itself any more believable as 17 yo

If the voice acting is bad in English, I will usually change it to something else. The voice acting is probably still bad, but I can't understand it, so it doesn't bother me.
