I agree with you, I don’t think anyone’s arguing against that. My sole point is that you can tell the difference between a bad performance and a good one, regardless of language. And it actually sounds like you agree with me.

Cmon man, don’t be obtuse. Nobody’s arguing that knowing the language doesn’t help. All we’re saying is that someone being dogshit at VA, vs when they’re competent, is pretty clear even if you don’t know the language.

Obviously knowing the language helps drastically and will help you clue in on more of the subtleties, especially when comparing VA’s that’re actually good vs just “sounding emotional”.

You can still tell when someone sounds stiff and awkward vs when someone sounds genuine.

If someone gives an emotional monologue in tears, their acting ability should be clear. Even if you don’t speak the language.

Second half is a bad take. Uncharted on the highest difficulties is fucking brutal.

Further consolidation is a major loss
