Anyone who doesn't like Alien Isolation when dogshit like RE7 exists, is a genuine faggot. Alien Isolation is the one game I wish was 30 hours instead of 16, and I think the devs were so good at setting up scenarios that I think they could have done it. Anyone who thinks it's too long genuinely has no taste but will defend RE7's ugly mosquito house, boring ass SAW section or the dogshit square shaped boat or it's worthless final boss.RE7 has a great boss with Marguerite, from a style and idea standpoint (ripping off one of my favorite movies [REC]), but other than that, RE7 is absolutely mogged by Isolation. RE7 is a 6-8 hour game and I wanted to end sooner because of how dogshit it was becoming because it was clear Capcom had 0 fucking ideas other than poorly ripping off Outlast (and making what is essentially Outlast for pussies) I just hate that RE7 got a sequel and Alien Isolation never did. I know there's been one announced but there's 0 chance it'll be as good as this one. It's practically lightning in a bottle, as most other devs would've fumbled it by either making it too combat heavy or too movie cinematic.
>>737027220RE7 and Alien Isolation are both good, OP is a faggot.
>>737027336RE7 is overrated dog shitHaving played RE0 and 7 back to back for my first time (0 on hard and 7 on normal because you have to unlock Madhouse first), I am absolutely shocked 7 is as loved as it is, when 0 was a much better paced game and just overall more inventive with some actually difficult puzzles (though I really don't understand the logic behind the animal lighter one and it's legitimately the only part of the game I'd say I didn't like trying to figure out). RE7 is literally and unironically for people too pussy to play Outlast 1 and 2 because "I'm murrican and need guns to feel badass and to make up for my tiny penis!"Jack disappears way too soon and didn't really act like a stalker on my playthrough because I was too busy solving puzzles avoiding him (which to compliment Demake 2, Mr. X at least felt like when he had a bead on me, he was following me), then you get that embarrassing "YOU WANNA PLAY A GAME???" SAW shit. Margie was my favorite boss (but not segment because the shack and bugs were boring), but only because she was a clear rip from [REC], one of my favorite horror movies.>Save Zoe because I figure she can make more of the cure to help Mia>Zoe completely disappears from the narrative and Mia is still super important???Why did this retarded game even ask me to make a choice?
>>737027220Brainlet retard here.How do you play Alien Isolation? Last time I tried, I hid in a locker and the Alien paced back and forth outside, never giving me a window to escape.I heard there's actual random alien mods, but I might as well just watch a playthrough instead of modding the game to be easier.Anyway, game is incredible aesthetically, I just feel like there's something probably obvious that I'm missing about the gameplay
All tension vanished once I got the flamer and discovered the ammo goes really far if you just give the ayy single puffs until it goes away instead of holding down the trigger and emptying half the tank like most people do instinctively
>>737029435I think I need more context. Hiding is often a last resort thing in Alien Isolation compared to something like Outlast 1 and 2, where hiding is always your biggest savior.You should stay out in the open (but not in the alien's sight obviously) and crouch around and slip past it and use one of your devices like the flare if necessary.>>737029562Yeah that's what I did too.Still a better designed game than RE7
>>737027220Anyone who doesn't like Alien Isolation when dogshit like stubbing your toe exists, is a genuine faggot.Stubbing your toe is absolutely mogged by Isolation.I just hate stubbing your toe and Alien Isolation never got a sequel.
>>737029750RE7 is indeed the equivalent of stubbing your toeBut do zoomers love stubbing their toes?
>>737027220go outside
>>737027220The fact there's still no sequel and all we got so far is some FNAF clone on mobile where you have to guide scrubs through alien infested maps from the vents and scare away xenos with a flamethrower is criminal.A game that's also delisted to boot.
Alien Isolation is one of the worst games I've ever played. The Alien isn't scary, it's fucking annoying.
>>737030743>The Alien isn't scary, it's fucking annoying.This is what people who are notoriously bad at video games like Yahtzee say about horror games. (I remember his review of Outlast 2 where he said the game stopped being scary when he kept dying. Well... quit fucking dying.)
>>737027220Tell me about those Sevastopol Safety protocols
>>737030814Sitting around waiting for the alien to walk the right way is not good gameplay
>>737031224Do you want a slap and tickle fight QTE to escape the alien's grasp or something? Because that is indeed the exciting part of the game
>>737031310No, I want a fun game. The controls are also ass. The mouse input has a horrible smoothing delay and has a dead zone for no reason where if you move your mouse too slowly the camera doesn't move at all. They never even bothered to patch that. Legitimately one of the worst video games I've ever played.
>>737029656>Hiding is often a last resort thing in Alien IsolationI think at the time it WAS "last resort" (cut my life into pieces), but it was essentially game over, so I was salty hiding was ever an option. Would've preferred to outright lose and respawn instead of staring at the alien through a grille for several minutes
>>737029435>how do you play Ayylium Isolation?Depending on the part of the game you're in, the xeno either has his regular AI where he just appears sometimes or triggers off of sound (difficulty modifies how attentive he is), or in other parts, he'll appear much more often and do what is basically a patrol route where you just have to work around it.The first really obvious 'Xeno on patrol' segment is in Medical when you're trying to get the trauma kit.Personally, I just prefer to play with the no Xeno Mod that shuts off his AI. I did it years ago to cope with ROUTINE getting its 50th delay, and without the Xeno, the game is basically ROUTINE with occasional human enemies. And the Working Joes were the best part of the game, anyway.>Why not ask me about Sevastopol's safety protocols?>Don't run.
>>737030989>>737031474Before I finally played Alien Isolation, I thought it had this one humanoid guy (I didn't know what it was called) that would chase you like Nemesis. I wasn't expecting a colony of them and so much action.
>>737027220I find it funny that people still give credence to IGN reviews when they gave this a 6.
>>737031583>Be reviewer who expects 3-5 hour cinematic experience that he can quickly clear through and plop out a review that day>Get cinematic experience but somehow able to go the distance at 16-20 hours and stay basically wholly original throughout >Have to write a review sooner rather than later and start getting frustrated with every deathI bet some of /v/ plays Alien Isolation like that reviewer did.
>>737031640The game definitely filters any idiot who thinks it's closer to Aliens than Alien and believes you can fight your way through the game.The best you can do is scare the xeno off (briefly) with a flamethrower or maybe a molotov, but those often take so long to ready and fire that you're already getting penetrated.
>>737032139I generally think horror games should be about running/avoiding enemies, which is why Outlast 1 and 2 are peak games in the genre for me, but Alien Isolation is the first game that perfectly nailed "fight or flight"Sometimes there are enemies you can avoid/run from, sometimes there are enemies you just gotta stand your ground for (mainly the xeno because you're not outrunning it if it sees you), and a lot of games fail pretty badly with that dichotomy.
>Alien Isolation is the one game I wish was 30 hours instead of 16Love the game but I have to disagree, I found it getting a bit repetitive at times even if the atmosphere remained effective through the entire game. >>737031583What a pile of shit this review is though.
>>737032527IGN has always been shit, whether it was giving Alien Isolation a 5.9 back in 2014, or Marathon a 9/10 here in 2026. They've never been a serious outlet.
Alien isolation is like Scooby-Doo
>>737027220Yeah Im not reading all of those emails and long as fuck notes
>retard tribalismBoth are good.
>>737033551See: >>737027593RE7 sucks a fat dick and is only liked by retarded zoomers who make dogshit video essays about it.
>>737033492Scooby-Doo is good so that's a good thing
>>737027220It is finally getting a sequel though.
>>737033598>screams that he is aware of eceleb videosZoomer faggot.
>>737033679There's near zero chance it'll be good. (Maybe)It'll probably be 4 hours and made in Unreal Engine, when the game was optimized enough for 360/PS3 era tech
>>737033719>Missing the pointt. zoomer retard that needs near infinity ammo to beat any game
>>737029435What put me off from playing it was that there's something like a 20% chance that the Alien knows EXACTLY where you are, even if you're hiding. Plus the Alien is "tethered" to you in that even if you somehow evade it completely it will basically teleport to your general vicinity so that you can never really escape it. There's apparently some kind of mod on PC where the Alien can be untethered from you, and so you can go hours without encountering it -- which technically makes the game more suspenseful.
>>737033764Your age?
>>737033954My Steam account has nearly entered unc status
Is there a mod that makes the guns actually work so you can just fucken put them down, like that OTHER movie showed is totally an option
>>737029435the alien cheats. The director always sends it to your location and schedules it to walk right in front of your locker to make a scary "moment". Once it kills you, it will back off for a while , so the best way to play is to never bother hiding and just move straight through the levels. Yeah, you'll get killed sometimes but then you'll get free run for a while. Actually hiding doesn't work. It's retarded game design.
>>737029562Wow I learned something on /v/ today. Might have to find that flamethrower.
can you fuck off with these boring diary threads already? nobody cares that you beat 10+ year old games or what oyu think of them
>>737029562This happened to me as well. First encounter a puff of the flamethrower has them run away. Second encounter they'll knock you down, doing a bit of damage, but still ultimately run away. Then it repeats back to like the first encounter. Maybe it's just a difficulty thing.
>>737027220Have you played Bunker yet?
>>737035740only if you know this and play based on the meta
>>737027220>I wish was 30 hours instead of 16That's weird because I remember a common complaint was about the game being too long.
>>737037959It's not the devs job to make a game more normgroid friendly as they rush to move onto next game without beating it
>>737032364there is combat and killing in alien isolation, just not for the xenomorph. they basically made the game resident evil but also amnesia at the same time
>the main attraction of the game is the xenomorph that stalks you and learns your behaviour patterns >anons want to nerf or remove the xenomorph because it keeps filtering themDo you guys also remove zombies from Resident Evil?
>>737038272personally ive always thought the xenomorph was to easy to avoid, ive wanted moments where the fucker would legit just come out of nowhere instead of those little warnings that it does
>>737038386On what difficulty are you playing? Because or Hard, the fucker kept jumpscaring me all the time.And IMO those little sound cues are necessary, because of the way the xeno works. The minute it sees you, there is a 90% chance you are dead, so it killing you out of nowhere would just get annoying after a while.
>>737033679There's literally nobody who worked on the original working on the sequel.
>>737040864they rehired the project lead of the original just to make the sequel
>>737027220yea ok, but why don't you have every achievement?
>>737027220Bump
>>737041513>100 Times Too Many (10G/Bronze): Get killed by the Alien 100 times.This is basically physically impossible to get on your first run
Alien Isolation is incredible at first as then just keeps going and going and going. It's around 3 times as long as it should be. There's not enough to it to stay entertaining that long.
>>737042187Except Alien Isolation easily keeps the momentum because its systems are good. Meanwhile RE7 loses gas after MargueriteShould RE7 have been 3 hours instead of 6? I'd prefer the whole game be good, like Alien Isolation.
Makes me depressed that the fan-game, Aliens Hope for the Future is in development limbo as it would have been a perfect follow-up to Isolation.
