    Wouldn't it be nice to not be called "Hey you" by the in-game voice actors? LOL.

    Not a big gripe. More of a tongue-in-cheek observation... with all the advances in gaming you would think they'd come up with a method of vocally inserting our name into the game to make the story seem that much more authentic.

    I mean, come on. If I ask my phone where the closest place to buy a cheeseburger is it will vocally respond and pull up a map, just in case. If I say, "Call Angie" it says, "Calling Angie". If I'm driving and someone sends me a text I can have my phone read it to me if I don't want to wait to read it myself.

    But on even the most up-to-date MMOs or RPGs you can name your character "Blake Warmonger" or "Sweetnastysexy592" but the stupid game is still gonna call you "Hey you" or "my employee". Maybe it's me, but it seems that this technology should be available.

    It's you.
    Read up on that technology, you'll understand.

    I personally don't mind being called Ark Hunter all the time. But after the very first cutscene, when I realized the main character was mute, I was really mad.

    I really really really wish they would have added voice acting for us, even if it was only one female and one male voice.

    I agree with this wholeheartedly. They've voiced at least some of the lines out characters use, it wouldn't have been that much of a strain on resources to add a line here or there for our characters. :\

    OP, the problem with this is, I'm sure you phone sounds like a robot, no? Now, attempting to have your name voiced out in the game would be next to impossible, Unless you want the voice itself to completely change from being a human voice actor to a different sounding all together robotic voice.

    Theres a reason they still use voice actors for games as well. Its cause we still can't make human sounding voices through the computer. The closest we have come that I know of is the vocaloid program, which is just using thousands of voice samples from a person and slapping them together to form a voice.
