Just saying, all this missing audio for dialogue is actually annoying, and all because of an immensely stupid strike, no less.
Or, I honestly wouldn’t be against them replacing the VAs with either different voice actors or even AI as a last resort, since AI won’t do stupid stuff like go on strike; being a real pain in the rear for the rest of the company and the playerbase. It’s funny how they don’t realise that going on strike against AI is VERY counterproductive to their goals. Literally just giving even more of a reason to replace them.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes (losing their roles).🤷
Sloane’s VA is easily replaceable since she’s literally one of the most forgettable characters in the game, and Xivu Arath we’ve only heard a very few amount of times.
SAG-AFTRA is pure cancer anyway, wanting to monopolise voice acting roles. If any company signs the agreement, then non-union VAs could lose their jobs and be replaced with union VAs. Is that what ya’ll want? Most of your beloved voices in this game replaced?
These comments are really showing that they didn’t read the interim agreement, lol. If it weren’t for that glaring issue, Bungie would’ve signed the agreement awhile ago.

Goofy short sighted perspective. You should delete this.

1 ReplyNah. I respect the VAs for striking against the use of AI. Just because it’s a minor inconvenience to you, doesn’t mean you should be so callous. If you want to be mad at anyone, be mad at the industry that is undervaluing creatives that made any of this possible.

6 RepliesThe strike has plans to last until 2027. Not happening and Bungie isn't the type of company to hire scabs. hate to say it but you gotta get over it man. People's livelihoods are more important than some video game

11 RepliesYeah...gonna have to say no to anything involving replacing living, breathing people with AI.

Horrible take. I agree it’s annoying but you’d postpone everything for weeks (potentially months) until the strike is done. Or you’d poison the well with our VAs by having Bungie hire scabs. That gets us lower quality talent, more changeover between VAs, and just more issues down the road. + VAs striking about AI takeover of their jobs is kind of a good thing to support generally speaking.

2 RepliesEdited by Kildozer666: 2/19/2025 10:07:54 PMI don’t think it needed to be delayed. But I think Bungie should’ve done something to accommodate the missing VA better. Or have at least attempted to do something other than telling people to “Oh yeah, BTW turn on subtitles” the day before launch.

1 ReplyI don't recommend AI but I do think for seasons I think it's best to just have replaceable VA at times like this because these seasons are only temporary it's not like it's gonna permanently be in the game. I will say the lack of voice overs ruins the story big time due to missing out on gd lore and conversation

2 RepliesI really enjoy the drifter saying the same thing every single time I go to orbit. Since I played a lot of Trials... that certainly didn't get old super fast this weekend...

7 RepliesSo if Bungie said, "Heresy is ready to go except some voice overs, check the TWID for updates on the release." You would support an eventual release? You wouldn't go on Twitter to complain or ask for your money back? Just so you could hear Xivu talk for 3 lines ? And if Sloane is so forgettable why do you care that you can't hear her? [quote]Or, I honestly wouldn’t be against them replacing the VAs with either different voice actors or AI.[/quote] This is the entire strike right here. The future for every single voice actor in the country depends solely on them stopping AI.

Delay a season because of missing voice lines? Bro we had to go through the internet to get any sort of reliable lore for the first 3 years of this games life. I think a season without voice lines will be okay lol

Just delaying this train station method of developing isn't enough anymore. We need to burn the whole station down.

no thanks
