ALIEN: ISOLATION Review Roundup - From Decent to Very Good

[AWillis]

You do realize that games were much...much shorter right? I hate when hipsters try to act like they know anything about the past.

The hypocrisy of your post is really strange. You do realize that people used to pay full price for games that were 60 minutes long. Did you not play video games in the 80s and 90s? This horror survival game which hardly has any elements to it is as long as a JRPG like Chrono Trigger...


Longer doesn't equal better. I don't like doing the same thing over and over again for a 100 hours.

lol wut?

go and play zelda 1 on the NES without using the internet for help and tell me you can finish it in a day, even three. you'll be scratching your head and nuts trying to work out out.

fgts these days want to be spoon fed an easy game.

[ZPGLazarus]

game looks amazing. phuck IGN and Gamespot. they just don't play it right.

I don't trust em. The only one I trust is Rock Paper Shotgun:

"Isolation is the best Alien game I’ve ever played, I’m in no doubt about that. Even in its awkward moments it is doing something interesting with the license, exploring the edges of what is possible in its world, quietly and discreetly. I expect the debate about certain design choices to be loud and long. At the centre of the debate will be one of the finest entries in the Alien canon in any medium, and one of the finest horror experiences in ours."

I'm sold.

Looks sick as hell IMO


Alien AI being too smart and adapting to the player is the best part IMO, don't understand how that is a negative

Now all Ubisoft needs to do is add this to Splinter Cell

[midcoastking33]

looks impressive but lol @ all of you getting butthurt by calling a game too long. do you understand what filler means?

Its a sad state of Affairs. Alien Isolation may just be my dream game. Stealth+Unpredictable Ai+having to think=Hnnnnnnnng

Just think, You actually HAVE to use your wits. This isn't some 'pattern'. You have to predict what's going to happen around your environment. Like I said, we need a military stealth game with Ai such as this. The the unpredictable Ai just makes sht seem so damn real.

I hope you're right...I really do. Cuz if just one of those things manages to get down here, then all of this-this bullsht that you think is so important-you can just kiss all that goodbye.

"It's absolutely not a shooter," he stresses. "The weapons are never the solution. They can be part of the solution but you're not going to win the game with them. That ain't gonna happen. They're almost a hindrance rather than a help."

What the hell are we supposed to use man? Harsh language?

[JimmyRustlebrah]

game looks good and i like the fact that the A.I (Alien brah) learns and remembers your hiding spots etc will most likely buy

[ChristmasFnatic]

Watching all 4 movies the day before the game's release. So thats 7+ hours Alien marathon. Why? Cuz Im a big Alien fan unlike some of you wannabes and posers(eg. Dickstroke).

[SlootFlute]

I've got a gtx 660 & fx8350 CPU
On a scale of 1-10 how prepared am I for this?

Man I'm sick of this sh*t man! Like I'm not hardcore enough for the stuff I am a hardcore fan of! How do I justify the purchase of this though? How do I justify? HOW damnit, how?!!!! Look at the reviews? Look at them! JUST ****ING LOOK AT THEM! Then tell me anyone who's a fan of the Alien franchise must buy it! (srs)

[nuli]

Gonna skip this one. Shadows of Mordor, Driveclub and Destiny will be taking up much of my gaming time.

You´re supposed to hide like a bitch and pray for your life.

I heard the game runs pretty much on a toaster.

[G-Profit]

I wonder if it is scarier than Outlast?

If so no thanks jeff

I guess we can just count you out of everything

[FearThisjake]

why don't you put her in charge

[iheartmoms]

Wasn't going to buy this with The Evil Within around the corner, but ended up getting it for $22.50 - too good a deal to pass on. Will play it eventually

[Deathstroke]

This is such horsesh*t. I've had it.

i would swap alien 4 for avp1 to be honest. skip avp2 though.

not many people like alien 3 but i think it was great.

Honestly, I prefer 4 for than 3. Than Queen-Ripley sex scene!

AVP 2 I enjoyed, but 1 is way superior.

@Dickstroke, you were never a big fan of the franchise. Go back to your action movies without monsters.

Guess he didn't like the cornbread either

[pat66]

Started playing it tonight , lights off headphone to the max holy shiat i was not prepared , one of the best game ive played recently

[leafs43]

I don't like the alien walking animation.

Seems "off". Aliens were always there creepiest when they were crawling on walls and ceiling, not walking around like a kangaroo.

[areyouaweir]

Would love to play this with an Occulus rift
