and today we’re counting down our picks
for the top 10 troy baker video game
performances the only way to get by in
this place is to get ourselves respect
for this list we’re looking at the best
performances that Troy Baker has given
throughout his career in video games
whether it be in supporting or leading
roles when I need a plan
I since one of heroes ever needed plans
number 10
Yuri Tales of Vesperia Yuri it’s
terrible
oh man just let me sleep before we get
into his more mainstream works we’ll
start off small with this Japanese game
in which Baker portrays Yuri Lowell a
young adult on the hunt for a thief Yuri
is darker and more mature than the
previous tales protagonists and Baker
strikes the perfect necessary balance
between young naivete and adult wisdom
what did I say we’re not gonna lose you
when bravest Feria does something we do
it right Yuri’s darker morally gray
traits are a divergence from typical
JRPG protagonists but even in his most
morally questionable moments Baker is
able to make Yuri relatable and humane
it’s difficult to portray such a complex
and three-dimensional character through
voice acting alone but Baker pulls it
off nicely making Yuri a great character
and appeals favorite in the eyes of its
fans Yuri you’re the one who really did
all this uh details details whatever
number nine Ocelot Metal Gear Solid 5
the phantom pain I’m on your side this
installment of the Metal Gear Solid
franchise employed facial capture
provided by many of the game’s
respective voice actors as a result we
see Baker’s acting chops on full display
and we have to say that they’re quite
impressive my name’s Austin I’m big
you know who I am taking over the Ocelot
reins from previous voice actors Patrick
Zimmerman and Josh Keaton Baker fits
into the Metal Gear Solid world like a
glove
providing a decidedly less campy
iteration of Ocelot his facial
performance was on point
his voice direct the perfect balance
between young and old Ocelot and his
acting skills proved just as hot as ever
by realistically portraying his
complexities and enigmatic behavior hey
when you can hold your own against
Kiefer Sutherland you know you’ve done
well you will learn how a real soldier
fights you will forget everything
Hollywood taught number eight Booker
DeWitt BioShock Infinite forget about
that twist
Troy Baker’s performance was the real
star here okay maybe not but he was the
star am i right
while Booker doesn’t exactly a moat a
whole lot and while he may not go down
in history as one of gaming’s greatest
protagonists Booker’s childlike sense of
wonder regarding the world of Columbia
comes across nicely from Baker Elizabeth
I made an arrangement to get our airship
back you can get us out of guess I just
need to supply enough weapons to arm an
entire uprising
he’s also able to make Booker’s internal
struggles relatable and sympathetic
especially regarding his questionable
past and battles of faith
Booker could arguably be a boring
character in the wrong hand but not in
Baker’s hey somebody meeting me here I’d
certainly hope so
number seven Jack Mitchell Call of Duty
advanced warfare we were brothers in
arms
no matter how bad it got I could always
count on him to keep me in line while
it’s true that the shining star of the
Call of Duty series is it’s thrilling
and robust multiplayer there’s no
denying that its campaigns produce some
memorable characters and great writing
and Baker’s performance combined to make
Jack Mitchell one of them pretty
impressive
Baker was up to a formidable task as
Jack is the sole playable character
whereas previous Call of Duty iterations
had multiple tagging ist’s whether he’s
portraying grief regarding the loss of a
friend or bewilderment over a betrayal
Baker definitely captures all the
varying emotions of Mitchell and holds
his own against Academy Award winner
Kevin Spacey which is definitely no
small task here so what the hell was
that
couldn’t tell you my number six kanji
Tatsumi shin megami tensei for someone
for oh my my
thank you for your undivided attention
another Japanese game this one sees
Baker boys in kanji Tatsumi the high
school student who is thrown into the TV
world where he meets his alternate self
his shadow Baker nicely flip-flops
between comedy and drama throughout the
game providing laughs with Kahn jeez
hilarious / reactions but also drawing
sympathy in the dramatic beats I said to
stop running from me these varying
degrees of personality show the Baker
can do it all and make everything he
does believable a major aspect of
conscious personality are his gender
insecurities as personified through his
shadows sexual orientation
while some condemned the character for
his stereotypical flamboyant behavior
Baker nonetheless makes the situation
sympathetic and conceivable but you’re a
guy you like that guy
man number 5 Sam Drake uncharted for a
thief’s end yeah can I help you yeah I’m
uh looking for my little brother while
it’s admittedly a little jarring to drop
a new major character into the series’s
fourth and final installment Troy Baker
nevertheless slipped smoothly into the
Uncharted world as Nathan Drake’s
presumed dead brother Troy Baker and
Nolan North are a match made in gaming
heaven as they play off each other
perfectly
creating a terrific sense of camaraderie
and chemistry I hope I don’t go to hell
for this Baker is just as hilarious as
North especially through Sam’s signature
quips and sarcasm however he can also be
very dramatic which is evident in Sam’s
protective and paternal attitudes
towards Nathan it’s a three dimensional
performance and Baker makes Sam a
welcome and fully worthy addition to the
series plethora of memorable characters
forgotten liberty means they’re damned
model all the paradise references kipper
blue missed number four the Joker Batman
Arkham origins nice of you to drop in
and just in time to say that Troy Baker
had big shoes to fill here would be a
massive understatement
Mark Hamill gave us a deeply unsettling
and terrifying Joker for years and many
lamented his departure from the Arkham
series however Baker pooped to be
remarkable
even if his version borrowed heavily
from Hamels and his portrayal of the
classic villain was lauded as one of the
best aspect of the otherwise weakest
game in the series
hila guy with the money and God
he not only nailed the Joker’s grating
voice but also makes his appearance just
as frightening as ever complete with the
psychotic disposition that makes the
Joker so memorable
while Baker was good as two-face in the
preceding entry in the series Arkham
City it’s his turn as the Joker that
sticks with us both in good and
unsettling ways now that’s
not funny number three Vincent Brooks
Catherine uh hello but yeah I’ll be in
today’s code review meeting in this
critically acclaimed puzzle-platformer
Baker plays Vincent Brooks
a young man with no ambition a lack of
commitment and a general distaste for
the pressures of adult life Catherine
keeps telling me how her mother’s
constantly calling her Baker is adept
reading the complexities of Vincent’s
life especially when he meets Catherine
with a C and must make difficult and
rash decisions concerning his love life
and loyalties through his initial
mundane existence and personality Baker
makes Vincent a wholly relatable and
human character which is definitely
helped by the great writing still he is
able to portray Vincent’s glaring flaws
while remaining apathetic a feat which
proves why he’s paid the big bucks stick
around I don’t want to go home just yeah
number two pagan min far cry 4 because I
have cleared my calendar food
you and I
while it’s borderline impossible to stop
the sheer mania and impact that vas had
on the gaming community Baker gives it
his all as pagan min and provides us
with a standout villain in an otherwise
copy-pasted fourth entry he turns in a
more subdued and subtle villain but the
results are equally memorable come in I
apologize for the austerity I sent to
help home
chances are you shot that on your way in
Baker is able to portray men as an
enigmatic man psychotic without being
over-the-top villainous without being
too overt his darker aspect often come
through his words not his actions and
it’s fascinating that Baker is able to
pull it off with only little inflections
in his voice and mannerisms it’s a
rather restrained performance but is
nevertheless palpably uncomfortable but
just a moment I want to get a little
shit right into the camera there we are
awesome before we get to our top pick
here are a few honorable mentions did
you take your dose yeah you want your
own and you got to sign it with the lady
downstairs three on one pal it’s over No
no it’s fun party the long house he’s
got to get there mingle establish an
alibi I’m a goddamn criminal mastermind
number one Joel the last of us sir move
your hands be a new baby I don’t know in
what is not only one of the best
performances in videogame history but
also a possible oscar-worthy role maybe
Baker gives a commanding performances
Joel a man haunted by his past
throughout the game Baker is able to
make Joel totally human and immensely
flawed guess what we’re shady people
Joel has been that way for a long time
we are survivors
since our tear it is over Tess while
Joel is a more low-spirited character
Baker nevertheless hits a myriad of
emotional moments including suffocating
grief terror anger and paternal loss
especially notable is his physical
performance through slight gestures like
a brief glance at his watch Baker is
able to convey meaning and emotion
without the use of his voice something
which is highly commendable his
performance was lauded upon release and
it’s easy to see why focus right here
right here
