That's interesting. I assumed he was just a parody voice-over even as the protagonist.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey's voice acting saw me eject the disc after 2 hours

Yup, fun comedy and she's great in it.
Didn't know she was an actress so it was a really cool aha moment when I figured out that I knew her from playing Kassandra in AC.
While the voice acting isn't the greatest, what bothered me more was the lack of NPC variety. I swear it feels like there are less than 10 unique NPC models for side quests or even minor characters in main quests. Feels strange in a game with a world so large and varied that the NPC's feel so limited.
If only the game was in greek. I would love to have that full experience and use it to practise some greek, but there's very few games in greek at all, and I'm not sure if there's even any dubbed.
Thought Kass was well voiced.
I really enjoyed her performance as the protagonist.
I can't speak to Alexios as I never played with.

Sony dubs all their big first-party titles in Greek for the local market (the only company to do so, it's part of their investment in EMEA and why Sony dominates in Europe) though I'm not sure about the quality of the localisation. If you're looking for a quality dubbing outside of videogames then Disney is king, youtube any famous Disney song + Greek on the title and you can practice. :)
Ridiculous. Of all the shitty voiced games released this gen this was the one that made you quit that fast?...lol.
Sorry, Kassandra is one of the best voices of the gen and Alexios is only bad compared to her, compared to other games he's adequate. Overall the game is closer to the top than to the bottom tier of video game voice acting.

Alexios is fine...did you want him to sound like English is his native language?
People like to dump on Alexios but he was an endearing goof if you played him as a mostly "good" character.

Alexios is just....fine, would not complain
On the other hand, Kassandra became one of my favorite protagonists this gen, she easily carried the game for me.

Well, just looked it up and I think I'm finally going to try the Uncharted Collection. Is it really dubbed or just subs? Because I also have Horizon and Last of Us 1, but can't remember seeing any greek options. (i wasn't looking for them, mind you). Maybe it needs to be set on the console or something.
Checking out movies that you know by heart like Disney ones sounds like a good way to practise too, yeah :)
That would be a kick ass mod!
PS: Malaka! Get back to it OP, game of 2018 for me.
Should have chosen Kass
Anyway it's a gigantic game, some of it is bad some of it is good. I really liked Plato's VA actually.

Currently still playing this, and the game has two core strengths, one is fighting against multiple human enemies are generally fun, and the other is that Kassandra's a great character. It just makes me have no need to check out any other Assassin's Creed game when I know that Kassandra just isnt going to be in any of them.
This is the one big problem with the voice acting, they put out so much quest that it becomes obvious that they just have the same voice actress voicing the same evil stock characters that its really noticeable when you see the same voice actress voice 10 different characters in the exact same way.

I thought Alexios was great - clearly I know nothing. I liked how wry he sounded all the time.
My main gripe with the voice-acting was everyone saying malaka all the bloody time. Super anachronistic - not a swear word in 5th century Greek, and not even really grammatical in that form.

It makes me sad how many people seem to want to find any excuse they can to not play AC Odyssey. It's one of my favorite games of the whole gen.
Yes of course its rather awful. Kassandra is a bit less awful but still awful. Im assuming all the people in here saying its good have just never played a quality single player game before. I mean just go back to Unity and notice the dramatic difference in quality.
I thought that besides Alexios, the voice acting in Odyssey was really good. Also notable that Ubisoft actually hired authentic greek V/O to play the major roles.
Alexios sounds like he's just reading off the script. Should've gone with Kassandra, the canon protagonist who wasn't hamfisted in to cater to 'gamers'.
Kassandra was great. The little I heard from Alexios was awful. And some of the random npc and black Smith sounded bad. But I was fine with it all.
OP
OP
I played as Kassandra and the first time Alexios turned up I literally laughed out loud at how comically melodramatic his voice acting was. I mean just listen to this, it's like he's doing a parody:
Assassin's Creed: Odyssey [First Encounter - Deimos/Alexios]
Release Date:October 5, 2018 Platforms:Xbox One, PC, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch Genre:Action Rating:Rated "M" for Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Sexua...youtu.be
"I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU ANYTHING!!" lmao
Christ wtf is this
The voice acting for Alexios is terrible. Kassandra's actress does a pretty decent job, but it's also nothing to write home about.

Hahaha holy fuck yeah I totally get OP now.
Only game I've played in recent memory where the VO was so bad it took me out of the game was Breath of the Wild. Still can't believe with how huge that series is and how much money Nintendo makes that they couldn't afford to get some union actors in that dub.
Kassandra was one of the best VOs this gen, IMO. Alexios... not in the running.
I started with Alexios and after the first hour restarted as Kass. Zero regrets.

I do remember (or, more aptly, dont remember) enough of the dialogue being meh to say it's noticeable, but Kassandra and enough of the main cast were enjoyable and memorable to satisfy me. Socrates, Brasidas, and Barnabas stood out especially.
People have unrealistic expectations sometimes and words like awful and bad get thrown around too easily and often.
