For example Keanu Reeves, Cameron Monaghan and Norman Reedus?

I don't love or hate it right now, but I guess if it's an actor I hate that might change. It's probably great for advertising though, as saying something like "Cyberpunk has Keanu Reeves in it" is better than saying it just has him voicing a character.

Stupid. Same with animated movies, and the like.
Get the fuck out of here with your AAA status.

I think it's cool. I don't see a problem with a developer using an actor's likeness for an in game character.

I hate it. They usually don't know how to voice act, and if the video game character looks TOO much like a celebrity, even if it's not that well known of one, the character loses all charisma because I feel like it's an actor inserted into a video game rather than a character from a fictional Universe to stand on his own.

Like, I won't even given Death Stranding a chance because of the guy they used as the main character, and honestly Kojima can **** himself for giving Snake's job to 24.

What is the difference between an actor playing a character in a movie and an actor playing a character in a game in terms of suspension of disbelief? It seems like a weird gamer specific issue that I have never understood.

Also, Death Stranding has some of the best voice acting work this gen.

It was fun at first but now it's just getting disrespectful to the voice actors we have known and loved for decades.

I dont think it adds anything to the actual game, if anything it takes away from the immersion.

There's always the chance it could backfire, badly, when the celebrity misbehaves.

I prefer half actors. The whole thing is just too much.

I don't really care that much either way, but I suppose I'd rather the money were spent on improving the game in more meaningful ways.
