does anyone else get bothered by like. voice actors not being properly credited. is this just me.

like, to start, there are games that are GOOD about crediting their voice actors (genshin impact, honkai: star rail - information on who voices what character is readily available in game for playable characters, and easy enough to find for npcs)

but even hsr, i was watching one of their trailers the other day where clearly like 5 or 6 different people speak in it, and only 2 were credited???

and there are some games that don't give you that information at all. for example, i've also been playing afk journey recently, and liking it a lot, but there is NO information anywhere on what voice actors were involved. at all.

and it's been especially egregious in mobile games recently where there's just. no way to tell if human voice actors even touched the project at all. and it unfortunately makes me wonder if ai voices have been used in some of the games. like. that's the only reason i can think of why they'd be so reluctant to give credit to the voice actors, is if there weren't any voice actors. 😭

#rey rambles #not gonna name names but there was a game i played recently (mobile game)#that i was super excited for after seeing ads for it #but once i actually played it it was like...#it felt like the writing and voices were all ai generated #like i've played poorly translated games before and i'm very patient with poor translations #but when smth is poorly translated it still...... makes sense? to some extent?#this game just kept going all over the place and nothing made sense at all #and the errors it was making weren't ones that i've seen before with poorly translated games #and the voices were weird too. a lot of times human voice actors will deviate from the script #or they'll fix minor translation errors just without thinking abt it #but the voices sounded super weird and they all were exactly on script all the time (even tho the script didn't make sense)#so yeah tldr i put that game down bc i heavily suspect it was mostly ai...#afkj i don't THINK is ai? and the ppl who made it made a game before with real human va's #so i'm like. hoping that's not the case. but it IS weird and concerning that their va's aren't credited for this game.
