I wouldn't call it unrealistic any longer for console games, however.
Uncharted series
Assassin's Creed series
Dead Space series
Bioshock Infinite
and of course we should not forget The Last of Us.
Flawless? Maybe just the games in bold. Setting the bar for standards? Definitely.
Any aspiring voice over artist, myself included, strive to get to the skill of people like Troy Baker or Ashley Johnson. Unfortunately, I do agree that MMOs, for whatever reason, tend to be lower on the scale of VO acting in comparison to single player or even multiplayer (that is not on the MMO scale). So not sure if the ones that are less than par just have not refined their skills enough yet or they just do not care enough to bring quality to their work.
