Amanda Ripley, the VO.

[Warelieus]

Is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bad! OMG, great game and ofc then main char's voice have to ruin it all!
She sounds like a B-star...

Not as great as a GTA game or Lara Croft but it was good enough.

I disagree. I believe the VO actress conveys Amanda's role as a working class engineer aptly. She's not supposed to be some super perfect heroine.

I totally agree with you.

I thought she did very well. Lara Croft was also done well but I got sick of her whining about everything through the first half of the game. Granted, I would have been freaking out too I guess. But still with the amount of crazy ♥♥♥♥ going down in that game.... it gets a little annoying. You would think she would eventually just say..."Not again, this is gonna suck!! AAAARRGGHH!!!!".

That is the kind of attitude I felt Amanda carried in Alien. She was freaked out at first but learned to deal with the situation at hand quickly enough. Like "OK, this is screwed, but crying about it won't help me. Let's just handle it." kind of thing. Lara developed this mentality toward the end of her game but by then it seemed forced, like she flipped her superhero switch on. I guess you could say that about Amanda too though, since she dealt with her situation a little easier and more quickly. Amanda's VO seemed more grounded to me.

I think they were both done well. Amanda's definitely wasn't bad, it just wasn't so focused on her emotions like every other game seems to do with their main character. It was kind of refreshing to be honest.

Are you effing kidding. I think the voice acting made a huge positive difference to the game. I empathize with Ripley more than I did with Laura Croft.

I was immediately put off by the Amanda character's voice acting in the first few cut scenes in the game for sure. The way she delivered the dialogue was extremely stilted and I actually cringed a few times.

As the game progresses however, I think she began to understand who her character (Amanda) was and her voice acting improved quite a bit. But boy, the beginning of the game was pretty rough for sure.

I didn't have a problem with the voice acting at all in this game. Amanda sounds scared or angry at the right times. I tend to watch anime in Japanese if I can as I have a low tolerance for bad English Voice acting.

I didn't get that from this game.

[Pnume]

I like her voice acting.

Amanda Ripley's voice-acting was spot-on in my opinion and very much in keeping with the 1979 movie which was also devoid of 'emotion' in pretty much all the characters. The game is in the exact same style and it's as close as stepping right into that movie as The Creative Assembly could probably get without the game actually being the movie.

Nope, pretty good. A bit long, but good.

I noticed that too. I thought she did a good job when Samuels died. She sounded pretty real and convincing there.

I totally agree with you.

Add me, too. I thought the VO for Amanda was spot-on.

[Warelieus]

I don't get it "spot-on" did you hear another voice, or the voices in your head?
