happyhippy posted:The Alien AI looks like it needs working, good at running along walls, but they derp when they get to you. Yeah, generally speaking I actually think this looks pretty good. I'm hoping the alien AI either isn't fully baked yet or gets a lot less dumb when you raise the difficulty. That whole interview is pretty funny though, you can almost hear the IGN guy going "Don't ask if it's gonna suck like Colonial Marines did, don't ask..." I'm okay with a relatively uninspired co-op shooter if it's done well, but I wonder at exactly the kind of replayability that it's gonna bring. Four one-hour campaigns is a start, but it's not gonna keep people around for long I don't think.

We're going to have to make new zombie movies where people deliberately get bitten by zombies, then go and bite other people in the safehouse to prove it's all a hoax.

Xenomrph posted:The book The Weyland Yutani Report handwaves this by saying that when planning the Prometheus mission, Vickers specifically picked the dumbest motherfuckers she could find in order to sabotage her father’s pet project out of spite. Honestly, I'd say a handwave's not even necessary. If the last 5 years have taught us anything, it's that dumb motherfuckers can be found in any and all walks of life, from top to bottom. Every slasher film, every zombie flick, every space craft crewed by complete muppets...it's all believable now. All of it.

"Dammit Danny, I told you if you're gonna be tuggin' it on my spaceship, use the showers! What if the artificial gravity goes out and your fuckin'... ropes, get all up in the instrumentation?!" "Don't fuckin' talk to me about my jizz, Franco! How 'bout you do something about all that black goo the fuckin' android brought onboard? I'm pretty sure THAT poo poo, turns people into fuckin' monsters. Long as he keeps tryin' to put that goo in my whiskey, I'll cum wherever I want!!!"

No it really is. Shoddy, janky, inconsistent... I want to like it but holy poo poo. You move like a slug and hitboxes are just whatever the gently caress they want to be. It's crap!

It's crap! I'm biased here as Alien Trilogy was both the first ever FPS I played along with being one of the first games my family actually owned...and one of the first to be played on the first console my family ever owned. Theres a lot of firsts. Not THE first mind, that goes to Bust a Move 2. Thanks mum. Anyway, you have to remember its a product of its time, and comes from a period where FPS games were still referred to as "Doom clones". While the enemies are 2D sprites, the full 3D environments and lighting was really good looking for the time. Yes the movement and controls are so so dated, but it absolutely nails the atmosphere and as far as Alien games go its definitely up there. When I was little the swimming pool full of facehuggers on the third level was absolutely terrifying. With that being said some of the later levels in the derelict have aged really badly, especially given the dated controls. The worst offender is the one with zig zagging walkways over acid pits.

Doing my quarterly re-watching of the series, I just realized they never saved the hamster in Hadley's Hope. It was still in its cage when the colony went kablooey  .

I don't hate the game but even for 1995/1996 it is deeply flawed and revisiting it after such a long time wasn't one of my better ideas.

Doesn't the presence of a donut imply they must have some sort of farm as well to grow the ingredients. Can't see them shipping a few tons of just donuts that has to be self reliant

...forbidden donut... I can only imagine the level of preservatives packed into a contraband pastry to make the haul out to the colonies. Then again, people are still smoking. The 2170s were a hell of a decade.

Aren't there super old Twinkies that are still edible? A future donut that can make it through space travel is not that difficult to imagine.

How long after we're declared stale can we expect a restock? Seventeen days. Seventeen *days*? Hey man, I don't wanna rain on your parade, but we're not gonna last seventeen hours! Those things are gonna come in here just like they did before. And they're gonna come in here...

I admire its purity. A survivor. Unclouded by natural ingredients, health codes, or delusions of edibility. I can't lie to you about the flavor, but... You have my sympathies.
