Alien: Isolation

[Brainiac]

Just about to start this on my new PC, excited. Looks great on Ultra

noice!!

Whats your specs?

 

[cokebabies]

Hm, so I guess I'll have to fire up a gun. I haven't actually used one yet.

I also just remembered I don't have a gun.

I think you get the revolver pretty early, I dont know if its forced on you or you have to keep an eye out, maybe thats just blueprints

 

[WesMordine]

So, anyone tried the new DLC yet? I'm anxious to hear your thoughts. Specially if it has a single-player story mission or if it all strictly Survivor Mode.

"Kill it with fire"... and avoid them.

Yeah, I wound up

frying two of them - I didn't see the other switch for the gas - then hiding from the rest

Finished the main campaign today. Overall, it was fantastic. Didn't like the space walk stuff, and felt an extra cutscene or two was needed toward the end.

Spoiler

yes a very abrupt end imo.............. kinda disappointing

 

[WesMordine]

I had to replay the ending...

Spoiler

to notice the approaching lights at the very final moment. Sequel guarranteed (if it sells well)!

 

[Matt S]

Yeah, I'd be up for a sequel. Or, they were acknowledging Aliens in which Amanda is an old woman at the time of her death.

My biggest gripe with the Ps4 version was the loading screens. Most of the time it was fine, but the part with Marlowe and being on his ship, I could have used a scene or two showing my approach toward his ship. I was playing and suddenly after the loading screen you are simply on his ship! I was like, 'where am I?'

That said, the level of love that went into this was amazing. For a game with a lot of backtracking I sure did not mind. Alien and Androids were scary baddies.....

 

[Kibagami]

Speaking of back tracking has anyone went back to around the beginning or any area to find them doors that required an upgraded torch?

Yeah I went to the one in San Cristobal to get the Nostromo log, thats about it

 

[Matt S]

Yeah, missed a door which needs a level 3 scanner; of course, it never says that; just says, 'invalid device'

and when I did have it, things were crazy!

 

[JRoe]

I like this game a lot. This atmospherically speaking is what Colonial Marines should've been. Now, can we please get a decent Predator game?

 

[Kibagami]

After replaying the second round, there appears to be a ton.

Does anyone remember that one room that's gassed up with poison. And you can't enter without dying. I don't think there's a SEEGSON control console or a computer with a UTIL command to clean out the room.

Spoiler

And later on, on your way to go to talk to APOLLO, you get one.

That's just one example; I'm pretty sure these rooms has just ID tags.

play as Predator? or be hunted by one?

 

[Kibagami]

That **** is game over.

They can shoot from afar.

 

[Solidus]

If there was such a Pred game, it wouldn't spot you, if you can cover yourself with mud to hide from the infrared sensor . I wouldn't want to play against one either, though... that's like suicide.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Opened this this evening.

Just met the alien... and been killed by him.

Adoring the aesthetic of the game, graphically and sound is amazing. Camera felt a bit floaty at first.

Once you meet the alien I love how low and stealthy it gets.

I keep forgetting to save. So used to modern games that auto save all the time
