[@derrickvictor8829]

@@DiamondDead if you think teenagers are the only people using the word “gamer”, your ignorance is showing. Why is it that adults can be golfers, off-roaders, model makers, coin collectors, and SO many other hobbies with classifications. But, the moment someone is a “gamer”, they’re a child? 🤦‍♂️ 1980 is calling, it wants its parenting back…

[@amberanime]

Most of the time. She does lack some selfreflection skills though. Apolegizing to your friends after you worry them should not be met with that much resistance. Of course her having flaws makes her a much more believable person so i dont mind that she has some but I do prefer to see character growth.. and I feel maybe Aloy needs a little more of that. There where times when I was like Aloy! Be nicer to your friends! Especialy in the sequel. lol

[@isaiah1927]

[@BenHopkins1000]

They say the mark of a true hero is humility, and Aloy is one of the most humble heroines I've ever met. She regularly helps others and saves the world on more than one occasion, but flat-out refuses to be praised for any of it, going as far as ordering the rest of the Nora to stop worshiping her and calling out their hypocrisy in this regard

[@The_Story_Of_Us]

Ashly’s been fantastic in this game so far! She projects more confidence in this game, but also like really… stressed and pressured by what she’s doing, Ashly sells perfectly how physically and mentally demanding this game’s quest is for Aloy. It really speaks to why we love Aloy as a hero, even since she was a child just flinging herself head on with almost infinite determination at any task no matter how monumental in scope and difficulty, an infinite determination that really gets ahead of her personal limits at times.

[@Valgaav_219]

Voice actors deserve so much more re credit than they get! So many of my favorite characters and stories are from video games and animated series/movies. the VA behind those characters earned the majority of the credit. We really should praise the great ones and invest in more of the younger and/or less refined. Or search for the great ones that just haven't had their opportunity

Ash is so awesome. She has amazing vocal range, and her sense of humor is infectious.

I wonder if they just had people play through the game and say 'Hey Ash, can you add a line of dialogue for this little part right here that maybe only 5% of players will find?')
