Why was old voice acting so much more kino?

Dev VA was pure soul and it needs to come back. I am so tired of indie devs hiring the same 20 anime dub rejects

Because it was before the Californian "in-group" actors became the managers and before SAG entrenched them in safe positions that are guaranteed to land them work no matter how complacent they become.
It was made by recording professionals and ppl from the localization team back then getting the up and coming actors, and sitting in the recording studio with them telling them "Make it MORE SINSITER, YESS!"
Whereas now it's just a routine practice. Someone goes
"Faster." "Do it again. Slower." "Good." and then they all know each other in advance and hang out together in LA after work.

robert belgrade (va of alucard) is the narrator of chronicles of the wolf, and they record it in that great crunchy old style. it's awesome but you won't play it because you'd rather make vague nostalgia bait threads instead of enjoying things

I feel like old games had more unique performances, so they stood out more. In modern games they tone it down and end up more memorable. I think it's because graphic fidelity was lower, so directors got the actors to play it up more. Best example of this I can think right now is Diablo, the voice acting there is super theatrical and doesn't sound like how real people talk, but the performances convey the tone of the game perfectly and stick with you. In modern games voice acting just try to sound like real people generally
