Honestly better off that way. I think you know a dub is bad when you'd rather have no voices at all. :'D I would have muted the voices in most PS1 era RPGs too had I had the option.
Haven't really played enough modern games to say, to be honest.

I do find a lot of modern anime voice work annoying now that you mention it. Though that could have as much to do with subject matter and the types of characters that are popular as the voice work itself, given that a lot of the actors are the same as they were during the 90s.
