Chloe an Android
About this image
The game has been out for a few years, originally on PlayStation. It was on sale last week,
so I bought a copy. It's different from most RPG's in that there are a myriad of outcomes
depending on the choices you make -- some good, some bad. Your goal is to save the
Androids from extermination. (Think FO4 Underground Railroad.) You play/control three
main characters in alternating chapters of the game.
In my first play through, I managed to get them all killed. The second time, all three of the main
characters survived, but most of the secondary characters were killed. Better, but... In the third
play through, I went to the Wiki to get some tips and with that help I managed to save all the
main characters as well as the secondary actors. The main problem is that I'm used to playing
Fallout and Red Dead, where you generally shoot first and ask questions later. That's not so good
in this game.
It is a good game played in third person; has well-developed characters, graphics and a great
story. Often fast paced, sometimes emotional and touching, sometimes brutal, but unfortunately
not many funny scenes. Not any actually, I don't think. The main problem I had was using the
keyboard and mouse commands. As always, that's a problem in a game converted from console.
The game is completely linear unfortunately, but it has to be because of all the inter-dependent
choices that you have to make for the intermingled characters.
The graphics in the game are sensational. I can't see much difference between the detail in the cut
away scenes and the game play graphics. Here is a sample of a scene where Marcus, one of the
main characters, meets the Android soothsayer, Lucy.
Click through to see Marcus Meets Lucy.
The main picture is Chloe, an Android, who greets you pleasantly every time you launch the game.
Come to think of it, she is on occasion funny and teasing.
And also here's a sample video of Chloe's Intro.
When you start playing, there is an intro chapter, then you are introduced to Kara, one of the main
characters. I thought -- wait a minute -- I know her. Kara was introduced by Sony and Quantic
Dream about ten years ago. I remembered this touching video. At the time I thought it was simply
a test of some CGI animation they were working on. I'm glad they developed it into a game and
kept Kara's character.

Kara....... I just sat shaking my head in wonder.......... a lump in m y throat. I guess we've already got Kara in FO4 - the 3rd gen synths. Though not quite the same amazing CGI quality. She also reminds me of Andrea. Goes to show the kind of job Dizzasterjuice did
I'm not sure this is my kind of game. But it is always interesting to get an insight into another game. And I can see the fascination in playing a game where you actually feel your actions make a difference
Strangely, my favorite part is Kara's intro. She comes home, takes care of Alice, cleans the house and makes dinner.
I think that means I want a model AX400 for myself :P
The game looks amazing, I caught your vid of it on Flikr and was impressed with how it looked.
Happy gaming :)
