Neo Rasa posted:But generally oh my God I wish the Alien Isolation people could be given Isolation's budget to make a Thing game. I hate how Colonial Marines had people not as interested in that one at first (myself included), probably one of the best games I've ever played. Well, I also spent some time playing "Messin' around with Sasquatch" by setting various booby traps next to noisemaker devices so I could watch the Alien come stalking and then get frightened off. Bonus points for the time that self-made minigame came to an abrupt unexpected end when the Alien jumped away from a trap only to land right next to the desk I was hiding behind. It just looked at me with the angry head shudder the Alien does in the movies right before it strikes and then game over, man! What a goddamn great game.

well why not posted:Covenant does have double the Fassbender, which is obviously great. I also really enjoyed the themes of faith and divine interaction. More classic xenos in this, which I'd kinda forgotten. It has the - perhaps dubious - honor of the best ever "actor shares the screen with themselves" scene, where David gives Walter a spooky robot kiss after their subtext-free flute lesson.

NikkolasKing posted:Speaking of which, why the hell are Weyland-Yutani so obsessed with getting a xeno, to the point they'd buy this no doubt very expensive hunk of junk station/ I've only seen Alien 1-3 and the AVP films, and it's also been a while, but I don't recall it ever being explained. Rewatching Alien a few months ago I found it interesting that there are some general hints in the movie Alien that finding small-a alien artifacts isn't a big deal. No one seems to think the possibilty of the signal being of non-human origin would be particularly remarkable and even a lowly towing vessel like the Nostromo has translation software that figures out the transmission's meaning in a few hours. IIRC Kane does say when he sees the alien vessel that it's not like anything he's seen before but again the inhuman nature of the ship itself doesn't seem noteworthy to the crew. I don't think any of the Alien EU material has explored this idea, but maybe humanity in the Alienverse has come across a lot of remnants of numerous non-human civilizations like the Space Jockey and his ship over the years. Enough that the vessel in Alien is distinct from others Kane had seen but not special enough that it's very existence was an amazing new discovery. Some of it marginally functional enough to be sending out radio signals and the like but otherwise not providing any real info on the species that left the artifacts behind.
