Reminds me of when they had actual NBA players voice act for themselves. (I think it was the actual players, either way, bad voice acting)

I like how the character's reaction at the end is like a reaction to his own voice acting

They got the mega talented Cristina Vee for that. Too bad she couldn't voice Nitara as well

Nitara's VA is fucking terrible. It's also the only one that's that bad. All the other voices are fine.

My friend and I came to the conclusion that she was probably very expensive, and probably charged by the hour, so they had her read the script on the first take and just dealt with what they had. MK is one of those games that doesn't need star power, but this was most likely done to satiate the WB heads who have no idea how video games work.

IDK why they'd even bother hiring her. She was never well regarded as an actor and has been a minor celebrity at best for the better part of a decade now. It's not like her presence is gonna boost sales for a fighting game that already has a large following. She probably cost more than a good VA would have too.

I can almost guarantee they saw her go kinda viral in Diablo IV advertising and the suits said find a spot for her.

Lmao

Why would you cast an actress who's entire career was built on that fact Michael Bay wanted to fuck her in a voice only role?

I get they're doing it to generate buzz, but can't you hire popular actors who can... actually act? They literally just went through this with Ronda Rousey and her utterly fucking dreadful performance as Sonya--It was so bad she was literally replaced in the DLC with another VA.

Whoever is making these suggestions needs to be demoted to be quite frank.

She was much thicker back then and had a cool BDSM pirate theme going on.
Maybe they'll sell her pirate/eyepatch look later.

Those NBA 2k15 videos are gold.

I did read an article with quote from Megan Fox that suggested she has legitimately played the MK games before. So maybe that made for an easy celebrity voice actor to bring in to get people interested. It's definitely terrible voice acting, but at least Nitara is just a pointless jobber.

She's very much a "oh right, that person" type celebrity

She was all the rage when Transformers came out (for being hot), but then was promptly forgotten by pretty much everyone...

ok why would you get one of the best voice actors in the industry and not have her voice the character in the full story

hell cristina vee with out even being paid to loves to promote characters she voices

she would gladly sing a song in character and post it to youtube just for fun

she is a MEGA nerd

yeah, the whole scenario reeks of "idiot executives" who just wanted a name despite an actual VA being far better and way cheaper

some things never change...

It's pretty similar to the Mario Movie, except that those actors (mostly. *glares at Cranky Kong*) turned out to be good or at least decent

Probably a decision made by WB execs, who are clearly a bunch of dudes in their 40s through 60s who have no idea what modern gamers actually care about.

Probably the same geniuses who thought Ronda Rousey voicing Sonya in MK11 was a good idea.

The part that kills me is that they then go ahead and get celebrity actors that actually make sense for DLC skins. Carl Weathers for a Predator-themed Jax skin, the OG MK movie cast for Raiden, Sonya and Johnny and even JCVD for a Johnny Cage skin in MK1

Not to mention Cary "Shang fucking Tsung" Tagawa for MK11 Shang Tsung
