Is Alien:Isolation worth to buy?

Any other recommendation in this price?
>>
>>321875996
Yes, for that price it's a phenomenal bargain. It was one of the best games of 2014 and despite being a single player game you'll get a fair few hours out of it. Make sure you watch Alien before playing it so you actually appreciate the game as the ultimate love letter to the 1979 film.

>>321875996
it's naah
maybe skip it if you are not a fan of the movies
>>
If you like the movie, yes.

>the ultimate love letter
Are you that guy that's always quoted on the front of movie boxes?

Would you say this is the "most important" game of 2014?
>>
>>321877138
Wow. Found the Bernie supporter.
>>
Saw the movies or not, it had plenty of great moments and the game is 1970s sci-fi space aesthetic in its purest, purest form.

It's incredible. Definitely worth a buy.

Pic related is also one of the only decent female characters in video games.

If you like the movies you'll love it. If you like horror vidya you'll probably love it too.

It was one of my favorite games in 2014.

so happy to hear this. Alien is my number one all time favorite movie

>>321875996
Maybe, if you can get it a discount. Isolation is a good game, in theory, but I've ran into two game stopping bugs in the first hour of the game. Unsure if they fixed them, but that was infuriating at the same time.

I also quit the game about 5 hours from the end because my save game was corrupted and wouldn't load anymore.

As for the game itself, it has one of the better horror elements since the AI is unpredictable. That also means you'll be spending the majority of your time hiding until the alien goes away, or painfully crouch walking everywhere because of the same reason. While this sounds grand in theory, it gets really, really fucking annoying after about ten hours, especially if you set it up on the highest difficulty setting.

10/10 it's alright

One of them, it shows that Creative Assembly isn't completely dead creatively, revived the Alien franchise after the abortion that was Colonial Marines and was one of the only near-AAA games out there that bothered trying to get the player immersed into its setting.

Even the opening theme to the game is the theme from Alien. They had like terrabytes of original content from the production of the film, sounds and stills and things like that.

>>321875996
Boring door opening simulator that shouldn't be as long as it is. Alien is also super predictable.

One of the only things I agree with him on.
>>
>>321877753
Oh man that reminds me of the old 20th century fox intro, that is like a straight copy from a VHS of Alien.
>>
God no. It's my most hated game.

Forced myself to finish it. Get The Evil Within instead.

You're presumably that guy that played on a difficulty lower than Hard, and spent the game hiding in lockers instead of sneaking past the Alien.

>>321875996
A:I is amazing and worth it at any price IMO, the only real problem being some pacing issues. Best game of 2014.
>>
>>321879694
Quit hiding in lockers when I realized it was a waste of time. Didn't make the game any less tedious.
>>
>>321878531
Evil Within is god awful. I've never been so disappointed with a game, especially after Mikami directed Resident Evil 4. One of the few games I've returned out of pure hatred.
>>
>>321880025
But you did play on normal? I can agree the game is bad when played that way but you have to be retarded not to play on harder difficulty.
>>
>>321880207
Medium is the default difficulty of any game. Blaming people for playing on it is dumb as fuck. If hard is "the way it was meant to be played" then it should be the default.
>>
>>321875996
absolutely yes. Game is fun as shit well worth the money. Sadly the game becomes so hard that it becomes frustrating and annoying to the end so it didn't get my list as best game, though it would have if it had better variety and wasn't so constant with the alien/s at the end.

Totally worth a full 60 dollar buy though.
>>
>>321880424
Man, this is not the case. They made it first in hardest diffulty, dumbed it down for the others.
>>
>>321875996
Yeah, very good game.
>>
>>321880424
It says for the Hard description "The recommended way to experience the game. Challenging and terrifying"
>>
>>321880424
>Medium is the default difficulty of any game.

No it's not. In Alien Isolation it outright says that Hard is recommended, you fucked up. Even in the Halo series Heroic is the recommended difficulty.
>>
>twice as long as it needs to be
>alien never leaves your side
>after 5-6 deaths he's no longer scary, just annoying
>endless tedious door opening minigames
>constantly being asked to backtrack through the area you came from

I liked how they recreated the atmosphere of the original film and the save system.
>>
>>321883484
I liked everything up until the first alien encounter.
After that it's 15 hours of run to the next checkpoint and once you get the flamethrower it's just plain boring
