I’m a gamer coward. I also love scary movies but I cover my eyes and ears in the tense parts. Somehow I made it through alien isolation so I know you guys can!!!! It’s the only game that I loved that I felt relieved to have finished

Jesus, is that why that extremely minor character was named Lobot? I feel dumb as hell. He's a robot brain inside a lobotomized human. A lobot. I just assumed it was throwaway Lucas naming stupidity and never gave it a second thought before seeing a knockoff mini's name.

Although that certainly fits in the Lucas Naming Stupidity, since the guy who sells "death sticks" is named Scumbaggio.

He was just a human with cybernetics that hooked him up into the local databases on Cloud City. So gently caress knows where Lucas came up with it.

I thought he's called Lobot because he's got robot bits plugged into his lobes.Pennywise the Frown posted:No can do.

I actually think playing as a marine in things like AVP affects me worse than Isolation. You're better equipped obviously, but the game actually expects you to stand and fight. Isolation at least let me follow my natural instinct to

Well I'll be a motherfucker. More Alien: Isolation Confirmed there's more than one alien in actual gameplay. I knew there were more in the game from a cinematic and level to level standpoint and lately it FELT like there were was at least more than one as I roamed around certain levels but this was the first time I was looking right at one and got completely hosed up by one right behind me. It was classic "Burke hides in a vent thinking he's safe and turns around to get completely owned" I entered a room, heard/saw one drop into the room, scampered into a vent, hid there and watched it walk away but still heard noises then immediately turned around and got wrecked by another bitch hiding in the same vent. Now I want to try a noisemaker or a flare and see if I can draw multiple xenos to a spot. But I have a feeling that won't work. I thought I'd seen everything this game had to throw at me and it was starting to get a little flat and repetitive but then *bang*. I screamed out loud and not for the first time. This loving game, man. Deserves way more love and a bigger following. BiggerBoat fucked around with this message at 11:19 on Oct 19, 2020 |

Iron Crowned posted:Might wanna fix that tag Done. Thanks Ok...so I just beat the game and the ending felt really abrupt to me. I know a lot of people said the game dragged and there was too much backtracking but I never minded that. Going back to areas with new ways to unlock poo poo and deal with things is a video game hallmark that, to me, recalled poo poo like Metroid and Zelda. Seems to me the game is just about the right length even though people said it was too long. My complaint was how little there was to final "boss fight", which was nothing more than a QTE that took about 90 seconds. It's a great game and I managed to download the Nostromo level and started loving around with that but there's not much new there beyond nostalgia. There's really not much reason to play it again and I don't have much desire to. Maybe a NG+ where you have your weapons and items and playing on a harder difficulty. Is that a thing I'm not seeing? I think the game could be made better and open up replays after you beat the main campaign by letting you actually kill and fight the creature(s) on a second go round. Have it so on your first run it's all running and hiding but on a NG+, you can genuinely gently caress some poo poo up on occasion. Add multiple aliens earlier in the game. This game really needs a sequel or some way to make it into a franchise.

USA USA! cringe." "We lost a cool unknowable alien in favour of cool guns because they thought army men were a better idea." "The most irritating of the bunch was Bill Paxton. Shame on you!" "More aliens does not equal more scares." "The spaceships looked second-hand."

Holy hell am I glad you guys are sensible non-assholes, because there are some crazy motherfuckers in the fandom. Not TOO many, but enough that make me say "what the gently caress am I doing" when I try to engage with them. I must be an idiot.

Also I may or may not be part of a Star Wars video game group that does casual fan fiction about our characters; we don't get stupid about it and have our characters kick the poo poo out of Darth Vader or whatever, and we're generally light-hearted about it and just in it to have a good time.
