Doesn't anyone else like Nolan's Ghost voice?

Nolan = good

Nolan = bad (please leave a comment)

Lots of hate for the new Ghost voice. I know we are creatures of habit and don't like change, but do people really think NN's Ghost is rubbish? Was Dinklez that much better? Or are we just used to the old and fear the new? I personally quite like NN's Ghost. I'm impressed at how he sounds and don't see why so many players dislike the change. We all love Dinklez, fo reelz, but give Nolan a chance. Anyone else think he sounds good?

I think the main reason a lot of people are unhappy with NN is due to the pacing of his lines. At least this is what my clan and I have decided. He speaks very fast, not putting enough space between different sentences. And his enunciation on specific words seems poorly placed in multiple occasions. For example. In the devils lair strike, on the wave when the hive first enter. He says, "just so you know. There's more fallen and hive on the way." Not to be picky, but really listen to it. There should be a pause after he says fallen. Before enunciating "and hive." Because the hive get introduced into the battle at this point, his sentence is actually incorrect. This happens in many lines throughout the game. My clan and I feel that the voiceover for the original game content wasn't simply just poorly put together. It was more likely rushed, due to having to spend more time on the new TTK content. Allowing the newer stuff to sound better. Anyone that has replayed all the way through the game with NN as the ghost, will notice that his lines eventually find a better pacing. Showing that after some time as this character, he figured out where he needed to be. In addition, NN definately makes the ghost too optimistic, and happy all the time. Which isn't necessarily bad, but its polar opposite to the original ghost we all know. Peter spoke with a deep monotonous voice most of the time. Which is more what you'd expect from our robotic companion. NN speaks with a bit too much personality. As we approach september 15th, we can all say as we want. But when the new content comes out, we will see if his voice is given more effort. Until then, lets all just try to get used to the change. Also, to the guy that posted a comment about anyone who thought he sounded gay being a homophobe. Please look up the definition of a phobia before you riddle posts with uneducated remarks. It means fear. Not dislike or disagreance with. Sorry to cause drama here.

    • Hate the new voice. Just a bad C3PO imitation. It's too high pitched and does not sound serious. I want a ghost that sounds like it's been through some hell and has some hair on it's nuts. Not this prepubecent newbie wuss ghost. Dinklebot did it better.

    • Sounds like a squeaker. I wish Bungie would put In a option to either choose between the old version or just turn the ghost off.

          • If Nolan would have been first and now replaced by Dinklebot, it would have been the other way around surely. People don't know what they want.

            • Nolans work is awesome, I just think people are too used to dinklage. I mean I dont blame them, think about how many times you've heard that voice over and over from grinding. Of course its going to be jarring haha. Also just because Nolan went with a higher voice than dinklage doesnt mean its bad. Tbh its more fitting with your ghost's sassy ass nature half the time anyway lmao

            • Sometimes yes, sometimes no. I like the delivery of some lines, others I dislike (like when he whispers "we've woken the hive")

            • I'll truly test it when I play with mic on(all sounds and music in earphones) that's the only way I can truly judge. They are 2 different people...I heard some lines and nortoroid does some better while some lines dinkle did em better...like the we woken the hive line...dinkle felt much better...he like shouted it out with some sorta emotion to it...northoriod didn't feel right there(for me at least) but let's wait for ttk,so we can hear him speak new things we haven't heard and judge without comparing

            • There is a lot less emotion in Nolan North's voice-over, like he isn't too bothered about things that are happening around us. Maybe he was told to deliver it that way, either way, he was always going to struggle being the new guy.

            • As I've said on other threads about the new ghost voice. I liked dinklebot. Only now that he's gone will we truly understand it was the right tone to take for the destiny universe. Kinda cold, robotic, some emotion for comic relief. While I do enjoy Nolan North's voice in other games, the way bungie distorted his voice and directed him really isn't right. It's too happy right? Or is it just me? Like the infamous "we've woken the hive" bit. If Nolan went first and we Got dinklebot after, would it carry the same effect? Idk. But I do believe nolans voice acting is a result of how bungie told him to do it. And in my opinion, it is too light and happy. The world is lost in darkness and he's all happy about everything? C'mon man.

                I don't think people realize the reason they switched to Nolan North rather that Peter Dinklage. Dinklage is always busy. North is specifically a video game voice actor. They can call him into the studio anytime and he will be there whereas Dinklage wouldn't. Proof is the first two dlc's. Ever notice that the ghost didn't have any dialogue in them? That's because they couldn't get Dinklage back. That won't happen with North. Also he doesn't sound "gay". If you think he sounds "gay" then you are a homophobic person. He sounds more... Smart? Nerdy maybe. Not "gay". Edit: typos.

                  • He sounds like what I would imagine Teletubbies to sound like, if they spoke coherently.

                    • Nolan is a great voice actor; however, his performance here is subpar. The way he speaks makes him sound like a voice I'd find in a dubbed anime. Maybe we'll get used to it, maybe not. But I sure will miss dinklebot.
