Line #8 PlayingAgainstType/VideoGames


1	* Creator/PaulEiding is most well known for his voice as older leader types, in particular [[VideoGame/MetalGear Col. Roy Campbell]]. It may come as a surprise to learn he was the voice of MadScientist Professor Hojo from ''[[VideoGame/DirgeOfCerberus Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII]]''.
2	* The first game in the ''VideoGame/GabrielKnight''-series is one of the earliest examples, with [[Creator/TimCurry Tim "Wasn't cast as the Joker because his audition was too frightening" Curry]] as TheHero and [[Creator/MarkHamill Mark "Actually was cast as the Joker" Hamill]] as the BumblingSidekick.
3	* Creator/NolanNorth, the voice of [[VideoGame/{{Uncharted}} Nathan Drake]] and [[Franchise/AssassinsCreed Desmond Miles]], plays [[FatBastard The Penguin]] in ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity''.
4	** He also voices [[ThoseWackyNazis Edward]] [[MadDoctor Richtofen]] in ''VideoGame/NaziZombies''.
5	** He lent a vaguely nasal voice to the [[HeroicComedicSociopath hilariously insane]] Steven Heck in ''VideoGame/AlphaProtocol''.
6	** His role as Captain Martin Walker in ''VideoGame/SpecOpsTheLine'' [[PlayingWithCharacterType starts out]] as a slightly more serious version of his typical role (Drake voice included), [[spoiler:and he gradually morphs into [[ShellShockedVeteran a completely insane]] and delusional [[HeWhoFightsMonsters war criminal]]]] over the course of the game, and by the end of it [[spoiler:he's a broken wreck of a man that just crossed the DespairEventHorizon, and who alternates between snarling in anger and whispering almost in tears at a fabrication of his mind that [[NeverMyFault he pinned all the blame of his atrocities on for a long time]]]]. The progressive change in Walker's voice is a subtle plot point.
7	** He's also the voice behind ''VideoGame/SlyCooperThievesInTime'''s El Jefe.
8	** He also stars in ''VideoGame/TransformersWarForCybertron'' and its sequel, ''VideoGame/TransformersFallOfCybertron'', as Brawl and Bruticus, the resident Decepticon [[TheBrute brutes]]. In ''Fall of Cybertron'', it's further highlighted by his more in-type role as Cliffjumper.
9	** Not to mention Deadpool in ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'', one of his highest-pitched and least serious roles he's ever had.
10	*** He reprises his role of Deadpool in [[VideoGame/{{Deadpool}} his own self-titled video game]], albeit with a somewhat deeper tone in general. He also does the voices in Deadpool's head, one speaking in an even higher pitch, and another deeper voice with a faux-British accent.
11	** David in ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUs'' is probably one of the biggest examples. What makes this so shocking is that when you meet him, he actually seems like a kind gent who has people's best interests in heart... [[spoiler: Then comes the fact that he's the leader of a bunch of raiders you killed earlier in the game. Oh, [[ImAHumanitarian he and his boys happen to be cannibals.]] And David is also implied to be a pedophile.]] Hell, people didn't even know that Nolan even voiced him till the credits, practically like Creator/KevinSpacey in ''Film/{{Se7en}}''.
12	** His career being a recurring member of Creator/{{Valve}} has also seen him as [[VideoGame/{{Portal 2}} the corrupted Personality Cores]] which are a hyperactive nutcase, a KnowNothingKnowItAll, and a self-parody, along with [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 Merasmus and the Mann brothers]] - three absolute hams.
13	** The [[VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic Jedi Consular]] can be playing ''to'' type on Light Side or playing ''against'' it on a Dark Side run.
14	** ''VideoGame/NarutoShippudenUltimateNinjaStorm3'' sees North playing an imposter of Madara Uchiha [[spoiler:(in reality, Obito Uchiha)]]. This goes double, as not only does he portray a [[EvilSoundsDeep a villain with a deep bass voice]], but it is, to date, the only anime-related role he has under his belt.
15	* Creator/RobPaulsen as Gray Fox in the remake ''[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes]]''. Basically, the fact that Rob Paulsen played a very serious character (a character who is implied to be driven insane from experimentation as well as at times remorseful of his past in war, and in one source was implied to have PTSD) and do so in-character is a very sharp turn against some of his more lighthearted and comical roles.
16	* This was done with Naked Snake in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater''. Motosada Mori, the series' military advisor who did the motion capture for Snake's fight scenes, was also made to do all the intimate scenes with EVA's motion capture actress. This led to the [[ThrowItIn unintentional]] but absolutely {{Adorkable}} flinch away from her when she tried to kiss him, among other memorable scenes.
17	* ''VideoGame/LaCordaDOro Starlight Orchestra'': [[YamatoNadeshiko Ukiha Mikado]] is a polite, feminine young man with a gentle, breathy voice. His voice actor? Creator/TomoakiMaeno. That someone who's ''always'' done roles with strong, deep voices manages ''this'' is pretty shocking.
18	* Creator/AdamBaldwin departs from his earlier psychotic roles to voice the polite, respectable, and intelligent ([[ObfuscatingStupidity though he insists otherwise]]) Quarian marine Kal'Reegar in ''VideoGame/MassEffect2''.
19	** Meanwhile, respected actor Creator/MartinSheen normally plays fatherly type figures, mentors or moral leaders. Not so in the ''Franchise/MassEffect'' series where he voices [[TheChessmaster the head of the pro-human terrorist organization]], Cerberus and the universe's resident MagnificentBastard, [[KnightTemplar The Illusive Man]].
20	** Also, Creator/SteveBlum, who's damn near unrecognizable as Grunt or [[spoiler:the Shadow Broker]].
21	* [[Series/StarTrekVoyager Kate]] [[TheCaptain Mulgrew]] as [[Franchise/DragonAge Flemeth]].
22	** From ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'', the first game, we have Creator/TimCurry as Arl Rendon Howe. While Howe is a villain, Curry is usually known for playing the likable EvilIsCool and EvilIsHammy type villains. Arl Howe, on the other hand, is incredibly subtle and downplayed and it ends up with Howe being one of the most despicable villains he's ever played.
23	** ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'' has Creator/JonCurry playing the American male voice of [[PlayerCharacter The Inquisitor]]. In addition to being one of the voices of the protagonist, he uses a baritone which can be quite unrecognizable compared to his usual higher pitch male voice such as Zevran.
24	* Normally, Creator/MauriceLaMarche plays comedic roles. This did not stop him voicing Calendar Man, a murderer who commits his crimes on certain holidays, in ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity''.
25	** He also plays [[AntiVillain Mr.]] [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds Freeze]] in the same game, a character who is definitely not a comedic role.
26	* Creator/SpikeSpencer plays Arakune in ''VideoGame/BlazBlue''. He normally plays small and cowardly boys. Instead, here he plays a psychotic BlobMonster with a [[EvilSoundsDeep much deeper voice]] than what he's used to.
27	** In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'', he voices Excellus, a {{Sissy\|Villain}} SmugSnake [[DudeLooksLikeALady who Looks Like a Lady]].
28	** ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' has Spencer voicing Wukong, a [[BloodKnight fight-happy]] MonkeyKingLite, and Kled, [[PsychopathicManchild a completely manic]] [[AxCrazy and violently territorial]] [[TheNapoleon warlord]] [[KillerRabbit yordle]] whose voice sounds like an even-more deranged WesternAnimation/YosemiteSam ''[[NoIndoorVoice and almost never]] [[ScreamingWarrior stops screaming]].''
29	* ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'' is one huge testimony to Creator/TetsuyaKakihara Playing Against Type. The man who was known for his young, sometimes naive, but undeniably heroic roles like [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Simon]] or [[VideoGame/TalesOfHearts Shing Meteoryte]] plays the role of Jin Kisaragi, arrogant {{Jerkass}} extraordinaire, practically a KnightInShiningArmor GoneHorriblyWrong. If that wasn't enough, [[spoiler: Tetsuya Kakihara also voices Jin's future self, Hakumen, who speaks in a deep and slightly mechanical voice, and a ''booming'' LargeHam at that!]]
30	** The man also goes on to voice Kisei from ''VideoGame/Onmyoji2016'', an ultra-polite, cultured, go-playing LongHairedPrettyBoy.
31	* Atsushi Nakajima in ''VideoGame/BungoToAlchemist'' has a JekyllAndHyde personality with two sides' voices sounding ''nothing'' like each other, one cute and soft and the other gung-ho and tough. The catch? They're both provided by one Creator/KaitoIshikawa, whose performance as the cute and soft one is bound to catch people familiar with his usual deep, rich vocal quality off guard.
32	* Creator/CharlieAdler plays Super-Skrull in ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3''. While he's played Super-Skrull in some of the villain's animated appearances, he's way better known for playing small FunnyAnimal characters than intergalactic warlords.
33	** At first, his role as Harold in ''VideoGame/Fallout1'' seems to fit alongside many of his other comedic characters because he makes frequent ToiletHumor and [[SelfDeprecation self-deprecating]] jokes, but the more you talk with Harold and learn about his horribly tragic backstory, the more it becomes clear that his use of humor is a coping mechanism to an extent, and he can get quite melancholy while talking about his past.
34	* Creator/ChristopherLee voicing DIZ in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII'' qualifies as a PlayingAgainstType, as the guy usually plays villainous roles, and yet in this game, he's actually a hero. [[AntiHero Kind of.]]
35	** Master Xehanort, who puts both the Magnificent ''and'' the Bastard in MagnificentBastard, was voiced by ''Creator/LeonardNimoy'', best known as the actor of Spock.
36	** Vanitas, one of the villains in the prequel game ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep'', is voiced by Creator/MiyuIrino and Creator/HaleyJoelOsment, both of whom were known for voicing heroic characters, including series protagonist Sora ([[spoiler:whom Vanitas even ''resembles'' when unmasked]]). WordOfGod had stated that Vanitas was created because Irino had always wanted to play an evil character.
37	* Creator/CharlesMartinet, who is best known for playing [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]], plays TheMentor Paarthurnax in ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'', one of the most [[TheAtoner complex]] and [[CainAndAbel compelling]] characters in the history of ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'', not to mention someone who talks a lot and is a baritone, that alone is a huge contrast to Mario.
38	** Before Paarthurnax, he played the jaded, vengeance-seeking Lagerfeld in ''VideoGame/ResonanceOfFate''.
39	** And before that, Martinet also played the villainous Gouji Rokkaku in ''VideoGame/JetSetRadio Future''.
40	** And before ''that'', he played the antagonistic, creepy, and androgynous Homunculus in ''VideoGame/ShadowOfDestiny''.
41	** And before ''even that'', he played the [[LargeHam hammy]] CasanovaWannabe Vigoro in ''VideoGame/SkiesOfArcadia''.
42	** He was even in a video game based on ''ComicBook/{{Spawn}}'', playing the sleazy, demonic Violator.
43	* Creator/KeithSzarabajka plays incredibly deep voiced villains and extremely dark anti-heroes such as [[Franchise/MassEffect Harbinger]] and [[VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas Joshua Graham]]. Then you hear him voicing random Dark Elves in ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'', such as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAq4h3DtI9E the one you frame at the start of the Thieves Guild questline as he's getting arrested]].
44	* Creator/JasonMarsden who is known for playing wide-eyed, innocent young boys, plays the hard-edged, jaded ColdSniper Craig Boone who lost the woman he loves to slavers in ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas''. It's an especially jarring case because his previous work in the ''Fallout'' franchise was playing Myron in ''VideoGame/Fallout2'', an [[InsufferableGenius Insufferable]] TeenGenius who was (allegedly) responsible for the creation of [[FantasticDrug Jet]] and infamously dabbled in slavery and BlackComedyRape.
45	* Creator/JoshKeaton is well known as the voice of many a teenaged hero, such as ComicBook/SpiderMan. Then along comes ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes'', where he lends his voice to the AxCrazy superhero-themed assassin Destroyman.
46	** He also plays a young Revolver Ocelot in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater''. There he's a gunslinger with a chip on his soldier, and a younger version of one of the main antagonists of the series.
47	** He also voices [[{{Jerkass}} Mizuki]] in the second ''VideoGame/NarutoClashOfNinja'' game.
48	** Also from ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes'', we have Travis Touchdown, an American {{Otaku}} BloodKnight played by Creator/RobinAtkinDownes, who pulls an amazing FakeAmerican accent where his most famous roles have him as either a badass Brit or a [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 mad German scientist]].
49	* The Japanese release of ''VideoGame/TheTaleOfFood'' with Creator/KenjiroTsuda as keigo-speaking ''[[WarriorPoet Lóngjǐng Shrimp]]''. Whether this is actually done ''well'', considering the characteristic rough and coarse quality of his voice sometimes comes out of a breathtakingly beautiful, elegant and cultured DaintyCombat LongHairedPrettyBoy character, is up for debate. [[https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1CV411y7pw See for yourself]].
50	* Creator/DaikiYamashita, known for voicing upbeat young boys the likes of [[Manga/MyHeroAcademia Izuku Midoriya]], plays very deep-voiced, adult-bodied (in human form) Karuraten from ''VideoGame/NamuAmidaButsuUtena''. He then goes on to commit this trope up to eleven with his role as Zitui Swallow in the Japanese release of ''Tale of Food'', who's not only deep-voiced and adult-bodied but also polite, [[TheEeyore perpetually gloomy and in despair]] and [[DeathSeeker always longing for death]].
51	* Creator/SteveBlum (who as mentioned earlier voiced Grunt and the Shadow Broker from ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'') is known for voicing true paragons of testosterone and deep voiced characters such as [[WesternAnimation/WolverineAndTheXMen2009 Wolverine]], [[WesternAnimation/Ben10 Vilgax]], and [[Anime/TheBigO Roger Smith]], but did you know he also voiced the titular VideoGame/CrashBandicoot (a [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} wacky]], WesternAnimation/BugsBunny-esque FunnyAnimal) in ''VideoGame/CrashNitroKart''? Or how about when he voiced the freakishly bizarre and flamboyant Monkey Yellow in [[VideoGame/ApeEscape Ape Escape 3]]? That alone is a testament to his sheer vocal range.
52	* Creator/LauraBailey, best known for voicing badass ActionGirl heroes like [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Lucina]], [[Franchise/StreetFighter Chun-Li]], [[VideoGame/LEGOMarvelSuperHeroes Black Widow]], and [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog Blaze the Cat]], also happens to voice [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Platinum the Trinity]], an absolute [[BrattyHalfPint spoiled brat]] of a MagicalGirl, plus [[VideoGame/{{Skylanders}} Persephone]], a small bubbly fairy who grants upgrades, as well as a handful of [[ShrinkingViolet Noel Vermillion]]'s lines that Creator/CristinaValenzuela was unable to provide.
53	* Creator/AliHillis voices mainly stern, serious no-nonsense characters such as [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII Lightning Farron]], [[Franchise/MassEffect Liara T'Soni]] and [[VideoGame/NinjaGaiden Mizuki Mccloud]]. Then there's [[VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising Palutena]], who is anything but.
54	** From the same game, we have Creator/HyndenWalch, who typically portrays sweet and naive girls like [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans Starfire]], [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Nia]], and [[Anime/LuckyStar Yutaka Kobayakawa]]. Here, she plays Viridi, a snarky, petty, vengeful god of nature.
55	* Aaron Spann is well known for voicing good boys like [[VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy Onion Knight]]. Then there comes [[VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou Joshua]], where he lends his voice to an [[SmallNameBigEgo arrogant]] [[InsufferableGenius genius]] [[SmugSmiler smiler]].
56	* Danny Jacobs is probably best known for being a PoorMansSubstitute of Creator/SachaBaronCohen as [[Film/EpicMovie Borat]] and [[WesternAnimation/ThePenguinsOfMadagascar King Julien]]. In ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamAsylum'' and its sequel, ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity'', he lends his voice to the creepy, knife-wielding psychopath Victor Zsasz.
57	* Creator/LiamOBrien is normally known for playing either outright villainous or [[AntiHero Anti-Heroic]] roles. In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'', he voices Inigo, a purely-heroic, not-angsty-in-the-slightest ChivalrousPervert who's [[ShrinkingViolet secretly a bit shy.]]
58	** And a far cry from the brooding, contemplative characters he tends to voice, he's Asura in ''VideoGame/AsurasWrath''. Still brooding and contemplative to an extent...but with a lot more HotBlooded screaming.
59	** He also played troubled NiceGuy and hero Akihiko Sanada in ''{{VideoGame/Persona 3}}''.
60	** One of his most unusual roles is Izana in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'', who's a {{Cloudcuckoolander}} and speaks at a much higher pitch than Liam's usual characters.
61	** There is also his role as Master Big Star in ''VideoGame/Disgaea3'', TheDandy Sophomore Class Leader of Evil Academy whom is beloved by his fellow students.
62	* When one thinks Creator/ChristopherSabat, one thinks BaritoneOfStrength ([[Anime/DragonBallZ Vegeta]], [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Alex Louis Armstrong]], [[Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt Garterbelt]], [[VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy Garland]]). ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands 2}}'' sees Sabat as Innuendobot 5000, a Hyperion robot reprogrammed by Moxxi to only speak in {{Double Entendre}}s in a strangely high-pitched voice.
63	* Creator/BrycePapenbrook is best well-known for his KidHero, NiceGuy, and {{Keet}} roles like [[Literature/SwordArtOnline Kirito]], [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX Zidane]], [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Henry]], [[Literature/{{Durarara}} Masaomi Kida]], [[Manga/BlueExorcist Rin Okumura]], [[VideoGame/TalesOfGraces Asbel]], [[VideoGame/BravelyDefault Tiz]], and [[VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc Makoto Naegi]]. In ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIV'', he voices Issachar, a friend of the main character who has an upbeat attitude until he got rejected by the Samurai's Gauntlet. [[spoiler:Then later on, he transforms into a demon and the boss fight against Issachar is memorably [[NightmareFuel/ShinMegamiTenseiIV one of his creepiest roles]]. At least in the case of [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Henry]], the creepy parts of him are usually PlayedForLaughs.]]
64	* Creator/DarinDePaul usually voices brutish villains, but two characters he plays break this mold: Ardyn Izunia from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV'', a suave MagnificentBastard; the heroic Gill Grunt from [[VideoGame/Skylanders(VideoGame)]] (from the second game onward), and Reinhardt from ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'', one of the most [[NiceGuy unambiguously kindhearted characters]] in the playable roster.
65	* Previously, Terrence C. Carson was best known as the smooth-talking stockbroker and [[TheCasanova ladies man]] Kyle on the sitcom ''Series/LivingSingle''. Nowadays, you'd probably know him better as the first voice of [[VideoGame/GodofWar Kratos]], the vicious, murdering Spartan who [[RageAgainstTheHeavens razed Olympus]] and [[NoIndoorVoice has no time for smooth talk]]. In spite of all this, Kratos is quite the ladies man himself!
66	* As [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII Snow Villiers]] and [[VideoGame/BioShockInfinite Booker DeWitt]], Creator/TroyBaker cemented his status as the gruff-but-good-natured AntiHero type, and even as Joel from ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUs'' he clearly had something of a moral center. Who, then, would have foreseen him signing on for the ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' expansion as the voice of Gul'dan, a power-hungry, manipulative, scheming warlock who sells his own people out to TheLegionsOfHell in return for the powers of darkness for him and his followers.
67	** Even more out-there is his role in ''{{VideoGame/The Medium}}''. Nobody expected Troy to play a positively ''horrifying'' EldritchAbomination who wants to basically wear you as a bodysuit.
68	** While Kanji Tatsumi from ''VideoGame/Persona4'' is a typical Troy Baker role, the extremely CampGay Shadow Kanji is definitely not, to the point where many were surprised Troy Baker still voiced him.
69	* Meta: From the man who brought you the adaption of ''[[Literature/ThePilgrimsProgress The Pilgrim's Progress]]'' brings you... ''[[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys Five Nights at Freddy's!]]''[[note]]and its sequels, too.[[/note]]
70	* Another meta: Croteam, previously known for the frenetic, unsophisticated FirstPersonShooter series ''VideoGame/SeriousSam'', released the philosophical puzzle game ''VideoGame/TheTalosPrinciple''.
71	* Yet another meta example: Creator/CreativeAssembly's ''VideoGame/TotalWar'' (a series of historical battle games) choosing to adapt the fantastical and fictional ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'' of all properties [[VideoGame/TotalWarWarhammer into]] [[VideoGame/TotalWarWarhammerII an entire trilogy]] [[VideoGame/TotalWarWarhammerIII no less]].
72	* Creator/DCDouglas is known for voicing ObviouslyEvil LargeHam villains. A lot of people can be taken by surprise with his performance as the friendly and heroic Geth, [[RobotBuddy Legion]], in ''Franchise/MassEffect'', who shed a great deal of light on the previously-mysterious and seemingly evil geth, the quarians, their initial war, and played a major role in one of the biggest {{Tear Jerker}}s in ''VideoGame/MassEffect3''.
73	* Creator/MatthewMercer is most well known for voicing characters with a baritone, such as Chrom in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' or Cassidy/[=McCree=] in ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'', but his performance as [=MacCready=] in ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 4}}'' employs a higher-pitched, youthful voice that can easily be mistaken for Creator/YuriLowenthal. He also completely disappears into the role of the wise-yet-campy CloudCuckooLander [=Yusuke=] in ''VideoGame/Persona5''.
74	* Creator/RobbieDaymond's forte tends towards youthful boys and young men, like [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV Prompto Argentum]], [[VideoGame/Persona5 Goro Akechi]], and [[Anime/SailorMoon Tuxedo Mask]]. It came as quite the shock when he revealed himself to be the voice of [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar Kenshiro]] in ''VideoGame/FistOfTheNorthStarLostParadise'', a character with one hell of a baritone (although his experience with higher pitches lent well to Kenshiro's famous "[[FunnyBruceLeeNoises ATATATATATATA]]" battle cries).
75	* Creator/ChristineMarieCabanos, a voice actress known for her NiceGirl and/or TokenMiniMoe roles, voices Symonne in ''VideoGame/TalesOfZestiria'', which happens to be a villain.
76	** In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'', she also voices Hapi, an [[IronicName Ironically Named]] [[TheStoic stoic]] and [[TheEeyore dour]] young woman.
77	* Ross Scott, best known in the Machinima community as the voice of [[LargeHam Gordon Freeman]] in ''WebVideo/FreemansMind'' is also the voice of a monotone robot in the ''VideoGame/HalfLife2'' mod Steam, Tracks, Troubles, & Riddles.
78	* ''VideoGame/MinecraftStoryMode'':
79	** No-nonsense and realistic Ivor has the same voice as [[Creator/PaulReubens Pee Wee Herman]].
80	** Creator/PattonOswalt does the vocal effects for [[EldritchAbomination The Wither Storm]].
81	* The Terror Mask of ''VideoGame/{{Splatterhouse}}'' is a LargeHam, SirSwearsALot BloodKnight that verbally abuses Rick and calls him a pussy often. If you want a funny image in your head, could you imagine a pissed off WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck, [[WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM Doctor Robotnik]] or ''[[Franchise/WinnieThePooh Winnie-The-Goddamn-Pooh]]'' doing that? That's right, the Terror Mask is voiced by no other than Creator/JimCummings himself.
82	* Creator/BriannaKnickerbocker is often associated with NiceGirl, ShrinkingViolet, and TheQuietOne type characters. In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'' have this along with PigeonholedVoiceActor. Sakura is the kind of character she would normally voice, but Charlotte is a BitchInSheepsClothing that likes to flirt with men.
83	* When she's not playing [[PluckyGirl plucky]], [[NiceGirl nice]], or [[GenkiGirl genki girls]], Creator/CheramiLeigh usually voices refined LadyOfWar, TeamMom types. Rhea from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'' fits this pigeonholing ''most'' of the time, [[spoiler: except on the Crimson Flower route, where she [[AxCrazy goes terrifyingly, violently insane]]]].
84	** She plays this trope straight in her roles as [[VideoGame/NierAutomata A2]] and [[VideoGame/Cyberpunk2077 V]].
85	* Creator/NoriakiSugiyama is best known for voicing characters that at least are a little eccentric or irritable, then along comes Abe no Seimei from ''VideoGame/{{Onmyoji\|2016}}'' who possesses neither of these qualities.
86	* Creator/TrevorDevall is known for voicing characters that are either [[LargeHam Large Hams]], completely insane, or are very relaxed. And then in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV'', he plays Ravus Nox Fleuret, a grim, serious, fallen prince that often speaks in PurpleProse who wants revenge against the protagonist's country by blaming them for not rescuing his kingdom.
87	* Creator/JamiesonPrice is known for playing LargeHam baritone characters. In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'', he plays Virion, a total [[TheDandy dandy]].
88	** Another role he did was Seraph Lamington in ''VideoGame/DisgaeaHourOfDarkness'', whom proves a soft-spoken and generally calm kind of character, never once raising his voice even under duress.
89	* Creator/RieKugimiya is normally known as the "Queen of the {{Tsundere}} archetype" back in the 2000s, so imagine that [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsFromZeroAndTrailsToAzure KeA]] [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel Bannings]] is a little girl who has GirlishPigtails yet is ''not'' a {{Tsundere}} but rather a sweet adorable girl is a really big surprise.
90	** Likewise, she has lent her voice to [[VideoGame/LikeADragon Haruka Sawamura]], [[VideoGame/Persona4 Rise Kujikawa]], and [[VideoGame/GirlsFrontline G41]].
91	** She would go on to voice Kagura from ''VideoGame/{{Onmyoji\|2016}}'' who is a ''quiet, brooding'' girl.
92	* Creator/GregChun normally voices [[TheStoic calm]], heroic characters like [[VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes Lukas]] and [[VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes Ephraim]]. In ''VideoGame/ValkyriaChronicles4'' he plays Raz, a HotBlooded SirSwearsALot.
93	** Similarly, in ''VideoGame/AITheSomniumFiles'' he plays protagonist Date, a loudmouthed ChivalrousPervert who isn't shy about making innuendos or snarking at whoever he can, be it his AI partner or his adoptive daughter.
94	* Creator/MichaelSinterniklaas, who usually voices straight-laced heroic characters, charismatic villains, and {{Adorkable}} [[ButtMonkey comic relief]] characters, is the hammy BloodKnight Gan Ning in the ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors''[[note]]Games 6-8 and ''Strikeforce''.[[/note]] series. There's also his role as the EldritchAbomination that is [[spoiler:Orphan]] in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII''.
95	* ''VideoGame/YakuzaLikeADragon'': The English dub sees Creator/ZachAguilar, most famous for voicing heroic characters like [[Webcomic/OnePunchMan Genos]], [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure Koichi]], or [[VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses Male!Byleth]], voice Sota Kume, a character without a single redeeming feature and possibly the biggest HateSink in the franchise.
96	* Creator/XantheHuynh typically plays girls who are either demure ([[VideoGame/Persona5 Haru]]), shy ([[VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses Marianne]]), or outgoing ([[VideoGame/OctopathTravelerII Agnea]]). In ''VideoGame/RiverCityGirls'' and its sequel however she plays Sabuko, a ruthless [[MafiaPrincess Yakuza heiress]] who [[DaddysLittleVillain looks up to her dad]] quite a bit.
97	** ''VideoGame/NEOTheWorldEndsWithYou'' sees her play the Variabeauties' leader Kanon, who's confident, sharp-tongued, flirty, and [[ProudBeauty knows she's good looking]].
