I loved Alien Isolation when it first came out and it's my personal 2014 GOTY. I'm replaying it for the first time in a few years and god damn this first human encounter on Hard is a motherfucker.
Alien Isolation thread, I guess. If you haven't played it yet, go fucking play it.
>2014 was half a decade ago
Yeah time flies.
I tried to like this game but I got bored with all the stealth stuff. I thought I was going to be derping around an Aliens-style ship, not dodging synthetics who keep calling me hysterical.
fuck off fuck off fuck off.
Protip: if you're playing on PC, there are some simple .ini tweaks to make the game look a bit better. I personally don't love the enhanced planar reflections look, so I didn't enable this one this time around, but here's the link:

Also Alias Isolation is a must considering that the in game anti aliasing isn't the best:

I also installed the Unpredictable Alien mod just to mix things up, but I haven't encountered it yet to see how well it works.
Fair enough. It's not a perfect game by any stretch, so I see how not everyone would have loved it.
I remember when I played it for the first time I think I encountered the alien by accident before it was scripted to show up. (after the initial reveal but before the first "real encounter"
It was during a mission with a bunch of the androids and after stealthing around them for the entire level you are supposed to book it for the elevator.
As I was running down the hallway with 2 of the androids chasing me I ran under a vent and it popped out and killed me. I have since done that level multiple times and I have NEVER seen it again.
Scared the shit out of me tho.
That sounds about right. AI is one of only a couple games to actually give me one or two nightmares. It's so goddamn good.
Damn the game still manages to look great.
I'm not sure if it was supposed to happen or not but he got me while I was waiting for the tram to arrive right after Axel got rekt. I just stood there in the open wondering why the tram was taking so long when the camera spun around to the xeno's mouth.
Oh damn. I wonder if it's meant to happen every once in a while just to fuck with you. I wouldn't be surprised.
nobody else?
Taylor a cute
uh oh big mommy just showed up
How much is that bitch supposed to weigh? Always sounded like a sumo wrestler was moving around in the vents when I played. I'm surprised it can sneak up on anything.
lol never thought about it myself, but there seems to be a lot of nerd talk about this. The aliens wiki says that an adult xenomorph can range from 136-181kg/300-400lbs and from my quick googlefu, the avp forums seem to confirm this.
I think I'd like Isolation better if the pacing wasn't so goddamn slow. It's one of the few games that I think is too long. The entire segment/flashback where you find the beacon is unnecessary padding that should have been cut, for example.
Also, I hate the slow movement speed. Even if you run it's like barely quicker than a power walk.
God damn it, I was so close. This fucking game.
I don't really understand this desu, are you on a time limit? Just take a break. It won't take long until you're eager to play again. They could have cut out a bit at the end but stuff like the long interlude after getting rid of the Alien helped the pacing I think.
lol this guy isn't gonna make it.
he didn't make it. RIP idiot.
One of the best gameplay videos I already watched
stupid sexy Alien.
>2014
haha, really funny op really fu-
>fine, I guess I'll have to find my way in
>I WOULDN'T ADVISE IT
shit.
welp, I feel sorry for whoever hasn't played this game yet.
It's getting late, so I'm signing off. I'll keep this tab open for a little while, but it doesn't seem like people here are keen on the game.
There's a port of alien isolation happening on the switch, wait a little while and you'll be able to talk again about it in active threads.
Looks dark as fuck, I thought I had my gamma set up correctly so maybe yours is fucked up
Maybe. I like dark things being dark. Maybe your monitor's not set up correctly.
Tfw you can't save her
