Assassins Creed

Game Title: Assassins Creed
Your name: Oscar Orton
Pretty or ugly: ugly
Description: This clip shows one of many examples of the lousy conversational skills of the guards roaming the cities in Assassins creed. They are very repetitive and the volume of the speech seems too high at times. Not only the guards but also the pedestrians in the city seem to have access to only a few sentences. Maybe it doesn’t bother you too much, but for me it kind of made the whole ‘city life’ less convincing.

Dead Space

Your name: Cas Beenker
Pretty or ugly: ugly
Description: If you have to try this boss for a few times in a row, i would go nuts from the sound the boss makes. Think it's a part of the game, but i would turn the sound off.

Crazy Frog Racer 2

Game Title: Crazy Frog Racer 2
Your name: Davy Jacobs
Pretty or ugly: Ugly
Description: The sound effects don’t suite the environment at all. It sounds as if it’s all happening inside of a room instead of outside. There’s also a delay between the sound effect and the movement making the sound.

Oblivion

Game Title: The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
Your name: Nicky Pelupessy
Pretty or ugly: Ugly
Description: This is an example of having a bad asset in your game. In this case, they didn't notice that this sample wasn't meant to be in the game. You can clearly hear the voice actress say: "wait a minute, let me do that one again".

This clearly takes a whole lot away from the experience, errors like this make you feel like you're actually in something that has been "created", you no longer feel emerged in the universe. Which is a shame, in my opinion.

Oblivion is a large game with many content, however, that is not an excuse for letting such an error to slip by. They should have spent a bit more time in going through all the sounds before they released the game!

C&C Generals

Game Title: C&C Generals
Your name: Dennis Haverhals
Pretty or ugly: Ugly
Description:

[Dutch]

Opzich lijkt de sound design hier vrijwel allemaal goed te kloppen, al mis ik een groot ding (ook uit te voeren in visuals though):

Je merkt pas dat je tijd op is in de eerste 2 stukjes van het level wanneer het ook echt zo is. Hierdoor moet ik steeds kijken naar de tijd en of ik nog tijd heb om te kunnen schieten.

Dit merk je wel aan het eind van het level, maar dus niet tussen de scenes. Dit hadden ze goed op kunnen lossen door het geluidje iets eerder af te spelen..

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within

/>Game Title:
Your name: Eveline Albers
Pretty or ugly: Ugly
Description: 'Unfortunate you have fallen so easily'

A nice taunt. Were it not that the Crow master miniboss is still standing at the beginning of the room, while the prince is about to make it to the end without a single fight.

Taunt is time-triggered, and thus very much out of place.

Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures

Your name: Bram
Pretty or ugly: Ugly
Description: Watch from 1:16 to 1:32. For anyone who has played this game, for some reason all people sound russian in this game. On top of that, the voice acting is downright terrible, and was only done for the first few chapters of the game.
