My best AvP memories definitely came from AvP 99. Yeah, there we tunnels and air shafts you could hide in. I remember my friend was a Marine and I was just waiting in a shaft above him. We were sitting right next to each other since we were using the ol' router and I kept being creepy. He backed into a corner, right below the shaft, and was frantically looking around. I came down the shaft a little until my jaws opened up and BOOM. He screamed. It was great. The horde mode was awesome. Bunker was the best map. AvP 2010 also has a horde mode.

Durzel posted:Sometimes you just want to be enthralled from start to finish, without thinking about the villain's motivations or how the film is a modern day metaphor for foreign policy or trickle down economics or something. I like this description a lot. I have seen Aliens countless of times, easily one of my favourite movies of all time. Alien: Isolation, though more of a homage to the first movie, is a masterpiece as well.

Durzel posted:Also the only thing decent from the Directors Cut is the sentry scenes, the rest just screws up the pacing and overexplains stuff. Thank you. In particular I think it's a little on the nose that Newt's family had to be patient 0.

Crushed through this thread as a terminator fan, finally excited about the Alien franchise, totally bummed I missed the theater release by a week. Gonna watch through Alien/Aliens next week to make up for it. Thanks, thread.

MW posted:Alien: Isolation, though more of a homage to the first movie, is a masterpiece as well. Of all the horror games I've played (starting back in the PS1 Silent Hill / Resident Evil days), A:I is the only one where I've had to stop and take breaks to chill out. It really sells the helplessness and panic of being a small, squishy human, and trying to survive against this fast, relentless, unstoppable monster.

Anyone remember Aliens: Colonial Marines where the Aliens acted nonchalantly like they were strolling to the 7-11 and refused to attack you unless you walked straight up to them and started whaling on them with your fists or whatever? And how removing one character from a string in an .ini file nearly fixed it?

Yeah it was something like that. I saw a video of a guy who fixed it, and apparently it does somewhat improve the game.

I'm still partial to "How do I get out of this chickenshit outfit?, "Get away from her you BITCH!", "Stop your grinnin', and drop your linen!", "Look into my eye", "I say we take off, nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."... And of course, my personal favorite... "I'm ready, man. Check it out! I am the ultimatebadass! State of the badass art! You do not want to gently caress with me. Check it out! Hey, Ripley, don't worry. Me and my squad of ultimate badasses will protect you! Check it out. Independently targeting particle-beam phalanx. WHAP! Fry half a city with this puppy. We got tactical smart missiles, phase plasma pulse rifles, RPGs. We got sonic, electronic ball-breakers! We got nukes, we got knives, sharp sticks..."

Yeah, OK, as much as I want to say it's one of Hudson's many lines (especially that "ultimate badass" monologue), "Get away from her you BITCH!!!" is the one. Every time you see the movie in theatres, that one gets thunderous applause.
