We have Alien without Sigourney and people moan about that too.
But that's to do with the quality of said entries. It's nothing to do with a lack of Sigourney.

Searching for and finding the flight recorder wouldn't have had the same impact if it was just some rando.
I was very against them using Amanda when Isolation was announced, but did a 180 once the game came out and I saw how they handled it.
Likewise. I absolutely hated the idea of Amanda being used as a main character but once I experienced the game, I had turned around completely. Sure, a lot of it had to do with how effective the game itself was as a game, but that emotional connection to the story through Amanda was a huge part of it.
Even I was choked up when she finally came across the flight recorder and that extra message.

I still have a hard time believing a flight recorder survived that blast. Unless it was jettisoned early as an automated function included in the self destruct program.
That is the point of them after all. To survive.

I also think choosing a different protagonist would have given them more creative flexibility. After all, we know from Aliens that Amanda lives through it all (unless Fox intends on retconning that).
Honestly, at this point, I can quite easily buy the whole thing about her records not actually being accurate or simply Burke lying.
