For me, Ashly Burch is to Aloy what Ashley Johnson was to Ellie. That was a perfect choice in both cases.
Ashley is VERY good for Aloy, but she's just too recognizable. Every time Aloy spoke I just heard Chloe, I expected Aloy to drop a "hella cool" anytime.
Needing someone to get to what you want is not the same as being a pawn and only doing what you're told. She clearly could have done most of it by herself in time, it's just easier to get the help from someone who's been at it for years already.Yet Aloy later admits she needs him to know more about her mother because she is clueless about where to look, Sylens exists to push Aloy into the main story quest.
She's great, I can see her right up there with Kratos
You are the first person I've heard say that. You're right, if you are comparing it to the Transformers movies, I guess...
I thought she was kinda bland myself to be honest. I don't think she stood out in any way now that I think about it.
She's the red head version of Kristen Bell. As a Veronica Mars fan, I love her mannerisms.
Honestly? I thought they were trying a bit too much to make her tough. I mean, no matter how difficult the situation was and how outnumbered she is, Aloy always acts like it's a piece of cake. Hoards of enemies? Nah, I don't need help, I'll do it alone. There is this legendary, deadly Thunderjaw roaming the land? LOL, send me after it.
Sorry, but at some point I thought it was just over the top.

KZ does run on Decima...I want Guerilla to reboot the KZ franchise. For fucks sake can you imagine Helghan in the Decima engine with a good story and not rushed product...
*dribbles down there a bit*
And yes... back to topic. SUPERB design.
The voice acting is amazing. Ashly Burch really nailed the character and her performance was outstanding.
she reminds me of Victoria via HIMYM.. (aesthetic wise)
anyone know if she had an IRL model?
maybe it's just me.
I get that she's tougher than most because of her upbringing but dude, she's 19 in this game... Her toughness is completely overblown. Take no shit from the Nora? Understandable. Fighting off the crazy Shadow Carja and bloody Thunderjaws (she didn't even know there are machines this big before the game starts) like it's nothing? Yeah....Spoken like someone who's never faced adversity -
Aloy was shunned from birth, a literal pirayah. She has earned the right to stand tall and because that adversity has toughened her.
She's the player character, of course she will handle all situations thrown at her. Same way Nathan Drake has chipped away at entire armies or how Geralt takes down beasts and creatures of ever increasing grotesquery.
Aloy is capable through nearly two decades of hard training because she is on a mission to get answers.
If you are referring to my thread, I wasn't complaining that Aloy needed a romance option, more observing and questioning why female leads like her (and Lara Croft) often do not. Nowhere did I say the game really needed a romance option for her.
Easier to say that when you have a way too high of games writing standardsI find her to be annoying every time I watch my roommate play Horizon.

I mean, it's on that she's like that. I don't really mind at the end of the day. But it makes her character a bit bland, unlikeable and not well written in my opinion.
