Alien Isolation is still one of the best games ever made

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

I was kinda thinking about that game yesterday, is it the same one that had some hulabaloo about SEGA diverting fund from it to make some other shit that caused a Lawsuit or something? Or was that an different Alien Game?

Playing Alien Isolation exclusively in VR via mod was a mistake.

That's Colonial Marines which still has some shitty Aliens charm to it that I can't totally hate it even if I intensely dislike Gearbox for what they did

You're thinking of Aliens: Colonial Marines that Gearbox made, to which Gearbox was shifting money to their other project.

Thanks anon, now that you mentioned Gearbox i remember the drama a bit clearer.

I tried playing it and I'll probably try again but the beginning put me off because the area was completely dark and I couldn't see where I was walking. There was one room in particular that felt like I was moving with my eyes closed. Perhaps I need to up the brightness a little.

why? it's kino.

It wasn't good for my heart.

really good game. not sure why youre seething about re7 though. i enjoyed both for what they were.

RE7 is barely eight hours long.

its playable with the mod that doesnt make the xeno appear.

Ok? But Alien Isolation is a good game without needing a comparison to a game you don't like.
Its just weird bro. I'm just weirded out by your behavior right now.

It's boring

I am about to play it in earnest right now for the first time. Any tips?

It's an okay game that nails the look of Alien but fails to be scary after the first hour or so and is full of boring padding sections.

There's kind of an awful stealth non-xeno part early on, don't give up even if it's frustrating.

Alien Isolation is great. The only weakness is the length--there was too much content ,which fatigues the casual player who seem allergic to spending more than an hour on anything. It came upon just the right formula between having you fight against killable enemies but also have to evade the Alien that simply eviscerates you if it gets within arm's reach.

Is it the room with 2 levels and the smoke machines where you get the gun? I made it that far the first time and quit; though I remember there being an alien that pissed me off. Irregardless, I am not going to quit this time.

Yeah near the elevator. I honestly think there might be something wrong with the room because on Hard (which is what I recommend), they just see you and blast you based on RNG.

RE7 is better. Alien Isolation needed more gameplay variety. Maybe more plotlines involving humans. Less stupid gameplay, like opening doors and the braindead crafting system. It's just too much of the same boring stupid shit for 20 hours straight. It's like 8/10. RE7 is a 9/10.

Yeah, I remember there being some unfair shenanigans that tilted me. I will be extra calm and patient there, thanks for the reminder.

RE7 also has the worst final boss in any RE game. (Probably. I'd have to think about a couple of spinoff entries, but for mainline? RE7 has the worst final boss, easily)

good ai leading to emergent gameplay

insanely good design, art style, graphics, etc.

very faithful to the original material

great voice acting

great soundtrack

just slightly longer than it should be, still kino
it shows how far giving a shit gets you

I think it's a very linear section. There's like a specific path you need to take otherwise they see you and shoot you. Don't remember the specifics but basically you have to speedrun it.

just slightly longer than it should be

When people say this, they're just selfishly talking about themselves like their own time is the most important and not other peoples (and I'd rather have played Alien Isolation for longer). Like I said, it could've been 30 hours and still would've been amazing.

the "fun" of a game is entirely "selfish" so I don't get your point

alien isolation is good but it's not great

leashed alien that kills any immersion, walking behind the alien as it passes the chokepoint is something that happens often

alien will ignore humans shooting and shouting to come and kill you

alien "learns" but in reality what it means is it doesn't care about noisemakers after the first one

alien doesn't care about flamethrower after 3 interactions

overstays it's welcome

has shitty challenge modes that are lame and easy

It is THE best horror game ever made.
Can't wait for the sequel

I was playing it on Game Pass but it left before I could beat it.
I probably got to the seventh chapter or whatever, I don't think I even encountered the xenomorph, just a lot of sneaking past the agitated androids.

isn't there a native port for the quest? it's even on Android

Agreed.
At least the first issue can be fixed. There are mods that untether the alien from the player and I consider them essential to make the game bearable
There are also mods to fix the flamethrower and make it always effective
The other issues persist though

There are mods that untether the alien from the player and I consider them essential to make the game bearable

they also make it a lot easier
git gud, troon

Based taste. I don't really like horror games but this game is absolute perfection. You can really tell that they wanted to get every little detail right. They perfectly recreated the horror and claustrophobia of being trapped on the Nostromo with the Alien. As usual, lily livered faggots wouldn't buy it and sales were meh.

mods that untether the alien make it easier

Does it though? Never used that mod. When the alien is tethered to you, you pretty much always know where it is (either stomping around the corridors or fucked off into the vents). If you untether it, it could be anywhere.

I can, they went with lead niggress

is a blind man more dangerous than a man who is forced to stare at you?

When did all horror games become hide&seek simulators and how do we reverse it?

Except Alien Isolation isn't a hide and seek sim. It's ironically a good action game too and I loved when I could cut loose with my ammo against synths and untrustworthy humies.

you don't need to force a weird vendetta to get alien isolation threads started. please pick less destructive bait.

Nah, it's shit. And nobody cares about muh daughter from removed scene. Dunno why this hide and seek sim is fellated so much here

sequel is locked behind delisted FNAF clone mobile game

RE7 is very inequal. That’s its main flaw imo.

Jack house: 9/10
Marguerite house: 8/10
Lucas: 5/10
Boat:7/10
Cave:3/10

Game dlc: 8/10
Bedroom dlc: 8/10
Ethan must die: 0/10
Uncle dude: didnt play but I heard it’s good

Boat:7/10

Boat fucking sucks dick (just a square that loops, amazing level design). This is why I can't take RE7 fans seriously

Forgot to mention
Enemy variety throughout the game: 1
Not a score, just a number lol

Boat is good because it’s an alien isolation style gameplay. So if you re OP you re being an hypocrit

Meanwhile alien isolation

Xeno (aka Jack but actually good)

Humans

Synths

Face huggers

That's unironically more enemy types than 7 (but less bosses, but 7 only has one good boss anyway)

Boat is good because it’s an alien isolation style gameplay.

Literally fucking how

7 only has one good boss anyway

car or chainsaw?

You dont have useful weapons to kill enemies so you have to hide and avoid them?

Oh I forgot about the car (didn't think much of the chainsaw one), but I just really liked the Marguerite boss fight because I love the movie [REC]

i wish the mod had native support for hand tracking, it would be one of the best VR games ever.

yeah, it was good. Especially hide and seek part
