deadatspawn Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Just started playing this game last night. First feedback i can give is: You picked the wrong voice for Lotus. She sounds like a highschool student. You could have picked better. For such a great looking game it is a shame that you picked her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venarge Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) Shes fine. Student? Its simply the voice of a young woman. They could have made her the voice of female grineer as well -.- Besides that. Rebecca was a good choice. Everytime I hear her voice reminds me that shes part of the community :3 Edited April 4, 2013 by Venarge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naskapal Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 female grineer? ballistas? no, no, i prefer this lotus rather than ballistas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGrae Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I like that it's DE_Rebecca, gives her a stronger connection with the game and it's community, which for a community manager, makes sense don't you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ced23Ric Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 She sounds like a highschool student. Rest assured, 'Becca is a lovely young lady, but far from a highschool student. It's cool to have her as the VA and CM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tac_9 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 She just needs more lines. I can't stand to hear the same exact dialoge over and over as I farm for resources etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentosftw Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 ^ At least double her lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splosions Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) Just finished killing 40 Gineer grunts, stole their artifact, broke a window, rescued a hostage, hacked their security, and destroyed their generator.

naskapal Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 was hoping she's saying "it's a stalker!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ced23Ric Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Except for when you fight Infested and suddenly, Grineer pour in. Trust me, it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheChaffeemancer Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) DE_Rebecca is a competent voice actor, she gets the job done well enough that it doesn't detract from the game. However, DE should leverage the fact that they, presumably, have the person doing the voice players are gonna hear the most right in their office all the time. Get her in front of a microphone and record a lot more lines. It will go along way towards keeping her voice over fresh. It's something that Relic Entertainment did really well with Company of Heroes and Dawn of War 2. In those game, units had voice lines for being attacked by certain enemies (and in Dawn of War 2, lines for when enemies were in specific positons ex: "WARPSPIDER BEHIND THE PIPES!") As it is now, most players tend to tune her out after a while due to just hearing the same thing over and over again. As for the "It's the grineer" thing, it made a lot more sense to say that back when surprise enemies could pop up during update 6.

Mourn Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Is Rebecca Canadian? I hear hints of "aboot" in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letir Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Maybe it's preparation for mixed missions? Grineer+Corpus or Greneer+Infested... so, it will be useful. But yeah, some new lines will be good. Besideis, in rus. version she have some wrong lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEsoJD Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I had this complaint for awhile. Her voice/personality don't fit into the universe or avatar. Lotus' avatar seems diety like and the voice should follow. As of now I would turn her off if I had the option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheChaffeemancer Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) Is Rebecca Canadian? I hear hints of "aboot" in there. Considering DE is in Canada and we've seen her sitting in their building... On a scale of 1 to 10, she's Canadian.

Tac_9 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) I agree, I find the dialect kind of too casual. She is who knows how far in the future commanding a team of ancient noble space ninjas and she talks like a 19th century phone operator. She needs more mystery and commanding in her voice, like she is a mighty commander. I guess they could do this using different filters and whatnot.

Maybe then I could turn the voices back on and she wouldn't be so annoying. Also, if she's commanding, why is SHE the one telling all of her little grunts what to do and what's going on directly? Some simple radio feedback on what's going on would suffice, be less annoying, and make more sense. At least it would to me.

Kanaris Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I mean no offense to Rebecca but Lotus annoys the hell out of me. It's not the voice, it's the fact that Lotus never shuts up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEsoJD Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 There isn't an option to turn her off as of now, right? I hope they at least add that if they don't rework the voice. Again, not a horrible voice, but in no way fits into the setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadatspawn Posted April 5, 2013 Author Share Posted April 5, 2013 I guess that was my point. It didn't feel like the right voice. I didn't mean to offend her. Just wasn't the right voice for the picture that i was seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Mango Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I honestly dont really know what you guys mean. Personally, I like the voice and it fits quite well, however she definatly needs more lines. Most the time I just turn music on and mute the game completly. I mean, does she really has to keep telling me that Lt. Lech Kril is obsessed with immortality or that I have to kill him to get these god damn bluepr...uuuh I mean save some colony?! Oh and btw. guys, there is a large security force heading your way...it's the greneer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaftronics Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 The funny part is, that she's actually very aware of how redundant it is and even lampshade it during a livestream when she played with the other Devs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carper Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 (edited) Not trying to Insult Rebecca, her voice definitely has roles it can fill. But i think Mary Elizabeth McGlynn doing her Motoko Kusanagi impression with the resonance of it during cyberbrain communication (in Ghost in The Shell: Stand Alone Complex) would have fit the current look of lotus. Rebecca's voice atleast to me seems to fit a younger spunky roll. I do however think that if the image were changed to fit rebecca's voice then it would be fine. Things that come to mind for a lotus better reflecting Rebecca's voice - Asiatic appearance ( the current lotus's outfit gives of the same vibe to me atleast) - Early 20's - Cyberpunk'ish - VR Goggles worn on forhead - Room dimly lit by holographic displays and consoles - Maybe a JJJ Cup or atleast a handful, easy to grasp, satisfyingly gropable, plump, perky ..... ooooooookay back on topic - Stuff, i dunno....
