You guys who are writing these types of comments.. you should know that in your efforts to paint the OP as racist, you're the ones who are actually coming across that way.

I am not trying to paint anyone as a racist, if you belive african americans and white people somehow have diffrent vocal coords, you are ignorant, not racist.

Fact is the voice acting for cooper is excellent, and it fits the char like a glove.

Voice acting is fine for this Char. I've seen/heard others complain about it and I just don't get it. I laughed at Angry Joe when he went off on it during his review. It really put the rest of the review into perspective for me.

How exactly does that work?

Since this is a thread about Cooper, does anyone know what he says in combat?

When doing missions with Cooper, periodically he'll shout out something that sounds like
"I'll pee goddammit."

Anyone know what he is really saying? Just curious.

It was completely believable.

The actor wasn't speaking like a robot, nor did it sound forced in any way.

If you would drop the witchhunt long enough to read what I already wrote, you wouldn't be making that comment to start with:

I don't think the voice matches the look of the character either.

There are people like this in real life, where I see them on TV and am expecting one sound, and then they open their mouth and deliver something completely unexpected. Too high pitch, too low pitch.. it happens.

Thing is, I'm not so sure it's a good idea to have it unintentionally happen in a game, especially when the developers have direct control over what a character looks or sounds like.

If the NPC was portrayed as a skinny Hawaiian native who sounded like Arnold back in the days of his most raw English, I'd be agreeing with the thread of this title all the same. There are voices that match the look and then there are those that just.. don't. There doesn't have to be anything more sinister behind the opinion than that.

Because when someone offers an honest criticism as an opinion and people immediately play the racism card as a counter, it comes across like they're the ones that can't get race off their minds.

It's like when someone takes something you say the wrong way and makes a comment about your mind being in the gutter, when in reality it wasn't at all.. it's THEIR mind that apparently went to the gutter.. it's just very telling.

Don't be that person. :P

The OP (and others) have made a complaint about the voice. If you disagree, just say you disagree. There's no need to be tagging comments like "What kind of a voice should a black character have for you???" on top of it like you're about to bag a hater.

What witchhunt are you talking about? Even if I saw your reply (which I did) I would have replied in the same way.

You are totally overreacting here.

I disagree. Strongly.
