I can't tell if this is a joke post or not.
This.
The voices are fine. It's the writing. Some of the lines they have to say are just eye rolling, especially every line that comes out of Sanda's mouth.
You can definitely skip the cutscenes but I'm not sure about voice acting. You can, however, change the spoken language to French or Japanese.
That and bosses really shouldn't be speaking every action they do.
No disable, but:
No 6's weakness is the sniper power. Not electricity.
I kid, I kid
Played for about an hour and a half last night. The worst thing about the game beyond the terrible level design and voice acting is the Boss patterns. Most of them don't allow you to orchestrate an attack, you just have to sit there and dodge until they reveal their weakspot. So you can have sequences of just waiting and dodging for 30 seconds and then you wail on them for 3 and hit them with a dash. It makes every single boss fight completely boring, or in some cases, makes the boss room more of a hazard than the boss itself.
Like, Number 6. He spends 90% of the fight out of your range and you just have to stand on a platform and wait. You can hit him with the electric girl's weapon, but it does crap damage and really isn't worth it when you can just pepper him with your buster equivalent when he swoops by.
Contrast that with propeller knight in shovel knight. The fights are very very identical, but there are combat elements that you can take advantage of in order to take the fight to him and exploit his pattern. It lets you be in control of the fight and makes things way more exciting.
It's kind of shocking how badly this game misses that mark. I don't want to sit on my heels and wait for the game to tell me that it's time to attack, I want to be aggressive. This game punishes aggressiveness, and that's fucking awful.
I guess it's what happens when you get a publisher like Deep Silver involved. Nevermind nonsense from Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo.
They could have followed SK when it comes to the aesthetics of the game as well. Imagine this game looking similar to Shovel Knight (or the most recent Shantae, perhaps, except without that awful character design). Some of the character designs in Mighty No. 9 are really good, but thanks to the game being rather ugly, they are kind of wasted.

Hm... What games might you be referring to?
I am quite fond of Dynatron's design, although the character herself is fairly obnoxious (in the demo, at least) :|
She is still obnoxious in the final game.
Rain World is a game I have been hoping to play for a long time, but it seems like it is never going to be released. >_< Death's Gambit looks so good!! I have never heard about the other ones, will have to check it later
Thanks.Wonder why they made two Proto Man/Zero expies... There is Brandish and then there is Ray.
