I rather liked the courtroom - it showed just how high the corruption in Union City ran, as well as some comic relief. I assume that Joey is affected by body changes in much the same way as The Doctor of Doctor Who - because each body is designed to work with a welder personality, a medical personality etc, Joey trying to be himself leads to.inconsistencies. Anita was, I assume, forced into the Reactor room without a suit on because she was in contact with Hobart and created a virus that could threaten LINC. Gallagher was one ('family reunion'), and Joey killed him. The androids were created by LINC to replace the humans - this is explained in a long and detailed conversation with one in the underground base. And what in the name of Sam Hill was the whole point of the courthouse scene? It seemed completely superfluous, almost like a comic-relief dream sequence of sorts. As to the dorky music, I personally found it much more bearable in the "remastered" smartphone version of the game, where everything didn't sound all "midified."Įcdelaix: - What was the deal with all the androids? What was their connection to LINC? Who was Gallagher and what were his intentions? Who actually killed Anita and why? None of that seemed sufficiently explained, but I may have missed something. She gives our hero very important insight into his background, after all. I do agree that just dropping a virused morsel of flesh in to the gaping maw was kind of an anticlimactic way to access the final room. I actually kind of enjoyed his bumbling, lovably dorky manner, though-he seemed more positive in his outlook than any of the Joeys. Given that you use the same personality chip for vacuum Joey, welder Joey, medical droid Joey, and Ken, how come the last two are completely different from either of the previous two incarnations? OK, fine, the med droid has a "limited syntactic processor" or whatever, but Ken seemed really completely different from any previous incarnation of Joey. Why was LINC growing all that organic tissue anyway (because I assume that's all meant to be LINC)? I guess that's somehow connected to the fact that its controller was an organic being, but it's the human error rather than the actual organic flesh that's the real issue behind LINC's takeover, yes? What was the deal with all the androids? What was their connection to LINC? Who was Gallagher and what were his intentions? Who actually killed Anita and why? None of that seemed sufficiently explained, but I may have missed something. But I agree that there were definitely some plot holes, or at least things that weren't sufficiently explained. Alone, save for the circuit board of his best friend, Foster must discover the sinister truth - and why they specifically came for him. I too enjoyed the game, and now that I've almost finished my 2nd playthrough I can see why it's a classic of the genre. Beneath a Steel Sky After being abducted by brutal soldiers and his kinfolk butchered, Robert Foster finds himself in Union City - a vast metropolis under the tyranny of a fascist AI.
