Maybe I'm getting old, but games used to be so immersive because of character animation and great voice acting. You were always in the story with the characters. There was rarely the issue that movies can have of an actor outshining a role. Now it seems like every big budget game has to blow some money on putting a celebrity in their game. Not just the voice, but their image as well...
It totally ruins it for me. Now I'm not thinking about the character, just, "Oh hey, it's Keanu Reeves." This isn't hating on the actors, and I have no problem with them voicing a character, but just throwing Norman Reedus into a post apocalyptic future is going to make me think about him in Walking Dead, not the game I'm playing.
