10 Celebrities Who Ruined Their Own Video Games
10. Peter Dinklage - Destiny
Because of his stardom with Game Of Thrones, acclaimed actor Peter Dinklage was hand picked by Bungie to star in their upcoming space-opera shooter Destiny. He was set to play the role of Ghost - a tutorial NPC and floating robot that accompanies the player on their travels - however when time came to record his lines, it soon became obvious that Dinklage had very little experience in voice acting for video games.
Dinklage may have tried to record his lines as natural as possible, but the finalised recordings were bland, boring and laughable. There was barely any enthusiasm put into his delivery and the fact it was tied to such a vital character hurt the world building that Bungie envisaged for their space epic.
Nonetheless, Destiny tried to stand on its own merits with its multi-player content, but complaints about the single-player campaign wouldn't stop. Thus, Bungie ended up replacing Dinklage with voice actor Nolan North and released the new dialogue in a post-release patch. A veteran of video game vocal work, North knew how how to add the impact that Bungie needed.
