I hope it helps me beat Skolas this weekend.

I have 6 truths and 4 Dragons. So I feel you. I wanted to buy it way back in the day, but I didn’t have enough coins.

Bad voice direction. The voice director squeezes the performance they want out of the actor - I suppose they intended to make the voice more computery / autotune so had him read it totally flat. Then they decided not to do that, so you’re left with this mess.

Did it seem like that? I never noticed any apathy in his voice when playing the game.

Exactly. This article seems like it’s laying the blame squarely on Mr. Dinklage, when not only did Bungie cut all of his funny lines, but didn’t they even go back and have him re-record a bunch of new dialogue with a purposefully blander delivery? I feel like I read that. Anyway, kotaku editors should not be so quick…

From what has been said about the whole thing it sounded like Bungie/the directer didn’t really know what they wanted from Ghost, and gave Dinklage bad, or no direction for the character. Alot of dialog was recorded and most never made it into the game for different reasons. Now, after the game has been out awhile, it…

Bungie chopped his performance into little soundbytes that never, ever was representative of what he actually did in those sessions. Those hanging moments in his dialogue that happen all the time? those were transitions into further statements with proper diction.

Look at the rest of the cast - Bill Nighy, Peter Stromare, Gina Torres, Nathan Fillion, and more. All of them were terrible (except perhaps Lance Reddick). Nighy in particular was awful, and he has done great work with shitty writing before (Pirates of the Carribean, for example). When you have that many dependable…

I personally never had any problems with Ghost as it was, but clearly, Ghost being bad has become enough of a running joke to warrant these changes...

I actually think that Dinklage probably isn’t the source of the problem. We know there have been problems with the production of Destiny. If I had to guess, I’d say some…

Actually, a friend of mine was at the VO session for Destiny. Dinklage really wanted to put more emotion into the voice, but the director scotched that. They wanted a ‘robotic’ voice. This is NOT Dinklage’s fault. Actors get screwed all the time by bad directing. Honestly, I’ll bet that Dinklage is glad to get away…

Everyone says bad acting or lack of interest. Nobody seems to be considering that it could have been bad direction. In fact, I’m almost certain it was seeing as Dinklage has shown repeatedly, even in his worst films, that he’s a talented actor who can emote very well.

Which is really out of ordinary for him. He’s a dedicated actor no matter what the project is. But then again, nothing could save Ghost with the directing it sure as fuck sounds like Bungie had to have been giving him, which shit, that’d be out of the ordinary for Bungie. These are the people who gave us Cortana, an…

It was one of the reasons I quit destiny. After I heard that they pretty much gutted the story after Joseph Staten left I was pissed.

To be fair...the script is pretty bad...Actors work with what they are given.

I always liked the Birthright story in its explanation of why Clark and Superman are unrecognizable.

“...were going to turn your short into a movie ..get working !”

“I recognize that thing on screen from something else I saw when I was younger. Ha ha! This is great writing!”

So what? As I’ve repeatedly said, stores are free to stock what they want in order to maximize their profits to their shareholders. How is this difficult to understand? Stores must protect their brand. This is why classy French restaurants don’t sell corndogs. It’s their choice to sell x and not sell y.

An extremely salient point that seems to be conveniently forgotten amidst the shrill cries for “creative freedom”
