SHIT

your life? yeah kinda wondering why you didn't kill yourself yet
>>334458263
rekt
>>334458263
I didn't really like that game
>>334458140
Lip Synch aside, great looking and optimized game
>>334459015
I agree. The game looks absolutely stunning at times. Runs really well too.
>tfw game is collecting dust cause I'm too scared to play
>>334459391
Just tell yourself "one more savepoint" and never stop moving and you can do it. The aylium scared the shit out of me and I beat it on hard. Just keep moving towards the objective and let it murder all the humans. Have fun in the android show room and the industrial Joe area andthe hive. The hardest part for me was the last "real" room where a you go to open a thing and the power dies and you go all the way back to turn it on and then something else happens and you go all the way back again
>>334459391
Play it nigger.
Don't tell me you're still in medical?
>>334459391
>missing all of the glorious a e s t h e t i c s because he's too pussy to face the dick head alien
>>334459654
I just finished that part actually. Shit was stressful as fuck
>>334460208
That actually the most stressful part of the game, since you don't really have any items except flares (which do help), and you're still learning how the game mechanics still work.
The alien not fucking off to the vents and staying on the floor 95% of the time (unlike the rest of the game) also doesn't help.
>>334460208
If you got through that anxiety attack it's smooth sailing from here.
Ayyylmao has his AI set to super aggressive in that part. Usually he'd fuck off into the vents after a bit.

Help... me.....
>>334460487
I'm playing on Hard, isn't he always aggressive ? Or so I'm told.
>>334460805
He has 2 forms of aggression.
When you hear a little blip on your detector he's passing by in the vents, this is light aggro, and is caused by your activity. He may pop down and look around.
If you make fire, a very loud noise, shoot, or crash a load of shit, especially if he's already in lite aggro, then he enters heavy aggro. And begins to behave like from the medbay. There's a small chance every minute that he'll transfer across the area you're in or leave completely, but its small. If you're remaining perfectly stationary he will scan the tight area around you worse and worse. It is absolutely always best to keep moving, as this increases the ayylmao's chance of transferring and re-entering lite aggro.
>>334460795
It's ok my little unauthorized friend, Seegson is quite proud of you.
>>334459015
>>334459313
>>334459892
God this game is crisp, I'm glad a game like this was made. Why DID they make this game? It's not a safe choice for in terms of whats popular in gaming theme, they could have spent the money making a shitty shooter that could have made more money then this. Could it be there are still big game development studios that still have a soul?
>>334460972
So basically only way to avoid this faggot is sneaking everywhere and avoid the robot fags at all cost ?
>>334460805
Not quite.
Already been explained by another anon.
My advice to you would be walk literally everywhere. If you couch the ayylmao will get annoyed and come out of the vent to find you. If you run he has to chase you.
Walk confidently and he'll get off your shit most of the time.
Fuck this was a good game.
>>334461057
CA seemed to actually like Alien universe.
>>334459892
I almost feel the MOTHER room is a spoiler. I totally fanboyed out on that part and the flashback level
>>334461057
It was SEGA saving Alien in gaming after Colonial Marines shenanigans.
>>334460795
At the very least I hope the game is canon, great new bit of Alien universe. The ending is a real let down though sadly.
>>334460972
>>334460208
It's also "active" later on when it knows you're trying to kill it and shit gets real.
>>334461284
>If you couch the ayylmao will get annoyed and come out of the vent to find you. If you run he has to chase you.

GODDAMN AUTISTIC XENOMORPHS
>>334461284
>>334461356
>walk constantly
I don't advise this. I'm not hardcore mode master anon but I crouched 99% of the game and it worked for me but I kept mobile. I did run super low on flamenwerfer near the end
>>334458770
Fuck these bots spook me more than the ayyy
>>334461262
If you're a very good sneak, even on nightmare, you can go entire levels without seeing the ayylmao. Its even possible to not aggro it when you "wake up" that android in the storage area to guide you through. The alien patrols that zone very occasionally in lite even on Nightmare, you just stfu when you think its around.
By the time I got obsessed with this game, the tector being "broken" on nightmare was no issue. All I rely on is the initial blip, I never raise it for anything. The long range blip alert is the single most important thing in the game. I should probably just do a "no sound" run for a true nightmare mode.
>>334461513
>>334460795
Are there any lesser-known goodies you can tell us?
>>334461356
You're becoming hysterical.
>>334461432
Worked great on my hard run (before nightmare came out). I got the shits crawling everywhere and realised walking was more effective.
Try it.
>>334461564
If you get too scared just walk right through the area at a brisk pace. Never run of course. You can even walk until you hear the long range blip in many cases.
When you first aggro the ayylmao in medbay, even in nightmare, if you just briskly walk to the door and quickly input the code you can slip through before it arrives. I've been doing it every time when I replay. Tuck aside quick though.
On most difficulties if you just idle around picking nose, perfectly still (as if afk) for maybe 3 minutes the ayylmao will often just be auto-dropped out of a nearby duct/entry point to quickly aggro you. Pause the fuckin game if you need to pee.
You /can/ aggro the alien before you get to the first elevator by being a huge prick. You'll be in deep fucking shit if you do.
The hive on Nightmare taught me some encounters there ARE SCRIPTED. And I don't mean just after whenever you kill a hugger (always hide if you do).
Because of this scripting its actually best to take the left tunnel, then the right one. Its scripted to make absolutely sure 2 are dropped into tunnel at the same time with you when you're doing the last portion, and there's way more places to hide in the right tunnel wing.
>>334461704
Darn tootin' I am, android. Hearing the alien's mechanics explained like that amuses the shit out of me.
Incidentally, are you the "Played Alien Isolation a million times" anon?
>>334461838
>if you perfectly idle for about 3 minutes the alien will pop into your location
>>334461839
No thats me, and I don't really like the droids but they're always gonna be there.
Its like you can learn to live with the alien. Its like a very shitty room mate. The droids are just dicks when you wanna grab the nailgun or come out a vent. At least they're hilariously easy to lose. Most people have trouble with it, they just perfectly move to the precise last location they heard/saw you. Ducking into cupboards or whipping around corners drops them like nuthin.
>>334462186
Did you play your million hours on Steam so that I could confirm you're the correct anon, and if so, would you like Dead Space 2 or Outlast? Only vaguely similar things I've got at hand.
Just done medical, that shit was tense. Felt like if I played cautiously I'd get boxed in so had to keep moving.

>>334462347
Thanks but I have both. I didn't play DS after 2, I felt too sad about 3.
>>334462383
Keep it that way, most of your "first" encounters will be among the toughest for all 3 types of assholes in the game (human, droid, ayylmao). You should be good from here even if the situations get hairier.
Remember the ayylmao does learn to a degree. It'll even get to the point that it knows you listen to doors and will purposely idle just after walking far enough for one to close behind it.You can follow the alien surprisingly closely if sneaking just dont step on the tail
>>334462628
have you tried any alien AI mods?
game has some of my favorite fire effects
>>334461354
Not disagreeing with you, but would have you liked any other ending?
>>334462752
I tried the unpredictable alien mod but what it really does is "widens" its behavior. It did end up less predictable but at the same time it entered lite aggro more often and came down for a peek way more. It was alright I guess. It'd prolly be scarier to use it on a lower difficulty if you dont wanna die to droids/humans a lot but still want some more alien hijinks.
There's a few graphical mods but I don't care. I really wish someone would go nuts with level editors and make something. Except we don't have a level editor.
>>334462926
I'm fine with sequel bait and cryptic bullshit but that was literally what the fuck happened tier. Halo 3 style sleep pod followed by drifting towards a tease would be more my style.
>with a little luck I'll be picked up by the network
>>334462932
I used a mod to improve LOD and shadow resolution and particle accelerated effects and it looked even more amazing. Contact hardening shadows was good too but I wonder if it worked properly on an nvidia card
>>334462628
You drive a hard bargain, anon. Stalker Call of Pripyat?
>>334461839
Nope. I've only finished it a handful of times.
I hope they make more. Though I heard the sales were not exactly spectacular.
>>334463023
After how much I've played, I believe in 2 scenarios. I'll say right away that the usual predator suspicion is not one of them.Either the ship really was turned around for her (I find this unlikekly, coms were not responsive and an ayylmao was onboard)
Or its a WY ship. Sure, you went out there with a WY rep and a droid. But they had to realize at one point things had already boned up bad by the time you were arriving. Don't forget the mission to get this flight recordered was approved and planned weeks, if not months, before the incident.I feel Weylant Yutani must have realized they may have already shat the basket, and so there's probably a 2nd group coming to affirm their suspicions. They bought the entire station just to try and secure the ayylmao. They weren't counting on your 1 droid bro or Ms WY Rep to bring that shit back. There's going to be a second look at the place. I believe that was thrown together in more cohesion after you'd already left for the flight recorder mission. They're not gonna bank everything on the off chance of you fucks doing what they needed done.
>>334463338
I agree, especially because your group "taxi'd" on a ship. If the company wanted the alien so bad, they'd send some of their own dedicated people on a ship, cloak and dagger style.
>>334458263
>>334463338
>
I could also really have done without the QTE. Game has a lot of them, and usually fitting ones but that one I did not like after a whole game of moving around the alien in full control.Any significance of the three ayys not attacking you on the space thing in your opinion? I don't think Amanda is infected but some people do. We don't actually have any reason to believe Burke in Aliens, he or the Company could have made up any story
>>334463483
I have directly fucked with them in that part. You can get them to turn around and stare right at you, they still leave. I'm pretty sure she's carrying, but we can't confirm.
Normally the Aliens will fight regardless of situation. But why did those ones deal with your shit while the ones in space tried to attack?
The ones in space couldn't smell/dome detect through your suit
Anyone else play this with a VR headset?
Holy shit, it makes the game so fucking stressful. The graphics are so good it's easy to get just in the game.
>>334459313
>tfw flawless performance on almost max settings on a 660
Black magic, I'm telling you.
>>334463717
and its one of the most payable maxed out on 4K games there is on high end machines. I opted for smoother 144 at 1080 but I could still get 60-90 on 4K. My DSR smoothing was fucked at the time so I didn't see a big jump in 4K but I do regret it, game is a visual treat.

I kinda want them tot make a Blade Runner game because I believe they can even though noone would buy it
>>334464372
>noone would buy it
Yeah because it's not like Blade Runner is considered one of the greatest science fiction films ever made or anything. Furthermore we're definitely not living in an era where nostalgia for 80's stuff is at an all time high and people would happily eat it up if offered no matter how shitty it is.
>>334461354
This room was so similar to the Polito room from SS2 it was eerie.
>>334464506
PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITYmaybe after whoever owns the liscense sees Slavic cyberpunk and Deus EX and maybe new system shock making bug bucks they will put out another Bladerunner game, maybe a tie in with the new move but hopefully something independent

Glad we're having an Alien Isolation thread, I love this game. Played 5 times on hard and 2 times on nightmare. Would have played it even more often, if MGS V didn't come into the way.

>>334458140
I can't believe how fucking optimised this game is.
Runs near max on a goddamn (not gamer) laptop from 2012 and it looks glorious.
Will Creative Assembly get to make another game?

>>334465386
really? First cutscene gave it away for me (though the lip sync and robotic animations in cutscenese are a general problem) how did you net get it when you're on the torrens and he's all like, I don't need sleep
I loved the game but wish they kept the original Big Chap design without the raptor legs. Also Making the Alien more of how it originally acted in the first Alien movie at least on a few occasions. I think it would be more horrifying if it were less predictable in the way it behaved. Or at least when it catches you it wouldnt always insta kill you. Maybe drag you away or just something other than always on the hunt to kill. In the original Alien movie it didn't try to hunt anyone. It was literally sleeping when Brett walked in on it and woke it up trying to get some pussy. Dallas hunted it in the vents and it "took" him but didnt kill him. It was sexually attracted to Lambert while totally ignoring Parker until Parker attacked him then turned its attention back to Labert to rape her to death. It didn't even try to attack Ripley until she pissed it off by spraying it with compressed coolant.
For as much as they respected the films and made a fantastic game, they really missed out on what made the alien so alien.
>>334465386
>you know I don't need as much sleep as you
>>334465550
It still felt and looked like a dude in a suit for me, legs aside
>>334464506
I mean that in the same way that this game hardly broke even and large companies don't often go for new games that have a smaller cost/profit margin

>The alien not fucking off to the vents and staying on the floor 95% of the time (unlike the rest of the game) also doesn't help.
The alien actually has an AI that adapts to your play style.
If you're hiding a lot it will be on the ground more and actively looking into hiding places.

niggers, it takes place mostly in confined areas, thats why it runs so well and looks so good
>>334465550
>>334465647
raptor legs are great
it would look dopey and less agile with human legs
the jumping into vent animation would look so retarded with his stubby little humie legs
>>334470626
No it's actually optimized really well.
Most console ports could be like this and still run like shit.
>>334467671
How exactly are you supposed to not hide when it instant kills you if it sees you?
>>334471327
you get a flamethrower at later levels
you can create items that make noise
you can use humans as distractions for the alien
obviously you hide if its coming across your path, the anon means if you are constantly hiding in lockers like a little bitch
>>334471327
Keep moving and staying out of side.
If you keep hanging around in hiding spots all the time it will adapt and be on the ground more.
Wish there was a way to turn off Ripley's voice.

Word is that some guy at Creative Assembly made a demo in his spare time and showed it to his coworkers. Word got around, and they decided to show it to Sega.

It's such a great game.
Started a nightmare run some time ago, but couldn't find the time go actually go through again.
Fucking tense shit had me always on the edge of my seat. I rarely could do more than an hour or so at once because it was so stressful.
>>334463338The station was on its way out and basicly useless for the company. They used it and the people on board as a test for the aliens. The ship at the end was the "elite corporate special commando" ship to collect the left overs and see how the test went.
Great game, poorly made pre-rendered cutscenes.
