ITT: fuck you, i liked it
>>339631424
are you retarded or pic unrelated?
this game is perfect and was success both critically and financially
>>339631424
Had a good game hidden in there under the alien's giant ass.
yes I love games with game breaking bugs
>>339631882
>>339631424
can't even grease any fucking bugs
consider going to IGN less/ never
they actually hate good video games
>>339632035
pls explain. I'm close to beating it, but I've encountered zero bugs. The androids are overpowered though, fuck them
>>339632538
only the ones in the orange jumpsuits, but you get the spike cannon thing to slaughter those. Standard droids can be stunned with a taser and then wrenched to death. Or a close range shotgun blast
>>339632538
he's a fucking idiot
this game is one of the best optimized releases in recent years
I stopped playing video games right around the time I stopped visiting /v/, which was in 2011. When this game rolled around in 2014, I had just moved back to my hometown and was having a hard time re-adjusting. Anyways, I ended up renting out an apartment, which was completely empty well into my third month of living there. I remembered how much fun I used to have with vidya, especially when I was alone, so I went out and got a PS3 that came with DA: I pre-installed for whatever reason.
It was my first video game since GoW 3, and I had a fucking blast. I decided to build a PC shortly after beating this game on my second playthrough, which was in early 2015. Came back to /v/ and one of the first threads I entered was a DA: I hate thread. I get where a lot of the hate comes from, but the whole "SJW DEVS" criticism is such a lazy fucking excuse to hate a game.

>>339631424
That game was well-received and /v/'s unanimous GOTY 2014
That's not how these threads work

>>339633414
You're not alone, anon.Every time I'm hungover at home, I play the multiplayer in this game. It's incredibly easy, and comfy to the max.
>>339631424
I love survival horror but I hate first person horror games. Something wrong with me?
>>339631424
I quit playing because it dragged along so much. I'll finish it one day. Game was great aside from that problem.
>>339631424
what?
Isolation is fucking top tier
>>339634142
I don't think I'll ever understand the
>there was too much of a good game
mentality
When I like a game I take so much time with it. Why is everyone so eager to just be done with games?
>>339634349
Doing the same repetitive thing gets boring. See also: Alice Madness Returns.
>>339634349
Personally I dont think it was that the game was too long, it was because it appeared to be reaching its climax like 5 hours before it ended, and this sense of finality just kept going and going. It was exhausting.
I say fuck that too though, if you were actually in that situation it would feel like that. Game of the year 2014 for sure.
Is it possible to stun the joes in orange suits by hitting them in the face with the stun baton? I've never seen anyone try.
>>339634428
Doesnt make any sense though. A:I threw new shit at you right until the very end. Next time, get a decent comparison
>>339631424
Still shilling this shitty game OP, how many threads has it been today?
>>339631424
Boring ass fuck late to the party by 5 years triple a version of amnesia
Tedious, boring, far too long for its paper thin concept.
Only a redditor trying too hard to look like a REAL XD gamer would like this shit.
>>339635235
The only one trying too hard is you
>>339635307
No, only redditors trying to jump on the lawl ign sucks bandwagon would force themselves to like it. Igns rating was spot on, but their analysis/reasons weren't.
Not scary, clunky, unchallenging, boring, tedious, takes fucking forever to end. There is nothing to salvage from this train wreck.
>>339633706
I am so happy Siege revived this style of game.
I just wish we had something exactly like this. With non-lethal options. It was so good.
>>339634349
Because there's about four hours of the game where the alien doesn't show up and you're just shooting androids. It's boring.
The humans and androids are fine for extra flavor, but the core fucking appeal of the game was the Alien.
Too lazy to get a picture but Sonic R.
I know all the best routes, all the secrets and all the glitches.
>>339633706
>fuck you, I liked something everyone liked
>>339636030
the alien isn't meant to constantly be on screen
the game would have succeeded more if the alien shows up less
it would be twice as tense
>>339635235
>triple a version of amnesia
Right, so you didn't play it.
You do know it has combat, right? But, then again, you've never played it.
>>339633706
You're fucking stupid if you don't like swat4
>>339631424
Who said it was bad? Alien: Isolation was great.
>>339631424
one of the best games of its year
also, it helped fill the void left in me after being disapointed by Amnesia, after buying into all the hype about that one game
>>339632387
IGN have become a tragic joke
>>339636894
>not editing it to "Dispatch UH"
>>339637024
Why does r/gaming lack the ability to accept their treasured games are shit and people just don't fall for their endless circlejerk sometimes?
Oh right, you mean the shoehorned in shitty robots. They couldn't even make a shitty amnesia knockoff right without fucking up that and adding action at certain points. KEK

>>339631424
Amazing game, despite being a bit long towards the end. I liked the twist it had and I am eagerly waiting for a sequel.
>>339635235
>>339637357
Consider suicide you tasteless faggot, Alien Isolation is tits and nobody on reddit fucking talks about it after the shills stopped posting gifs to /r/gaming two years ago. Eat a dick.
It's no Blacklight: Retribution though.
>>339637636
I would fucking love another game like this.
>>339631424
I still wonder how it looked and run so well on a 360
>>339637636
yeah this was a good game
>>339631424
its a meme for /v/ to hate on every game. Realistically most people in this board enjoyed it just like they enjoy the new doom and undertale.
>>339637498
>>339637608
>>339637691
I've played better games that came before it and are more focused on what exactly the niche is they want to tap into. Isolation is a bloated unfocused garbage mess for people who are shit terrified of trying anything new but want to pretend otherwise. Stay mad, redditors. Stick to your shitty triple a Chinese knockoffs.
>>339637608
95% of /v/ likes Vampire: The Masquerade and that doesn't change the fact it's a juvenile, buggy, poorly balanced mess that needs multiple mods to be halfway decent.
>>339637636
This game was great but its sad we won't get another one ever. Also it sucks how Team Bondi fucked their employees in the ass raw.
>>339637657
I'm afraid the sequel will be dumbed down though.Too many redditors complained about the "unfair difficulty" and the length of the game, plus the "antiquated save mechanic".
But I don't care actually, because A:I fixed most of what is wrong with modern gaming: too easy and too short. I'm just glad that this game exists and no matter how bad the sequel will be, I'll always be content with A:I alone. Played through it four times and 100% it, something I usually never do.

>>339631424
uh wasnt it voted GOTY by /v/ ?
>>339636941
You're retarded
without the alien it's just a boring stealth shooter. There's a difference between the tension from the alien's unpredictability to it NOT BEING IN THE FUCKING GAME PERIOD, which is how the game operates between ejecting the alien out of the ship and the alien hive.
First real RPG maybe that's the issue but i fell in love with it instantly and forever when i first played it
>>339638184
How could you even dumb down the game? It was pretty stripped and barren to begin with.
>I 100% it
Oh, you 100% an easy game and now feel attached and want to maintain the notion it was hard to do. Got it.
>get to the generator
>fix the generator
>get all the way back
>generator breaks again
>have to backtrack again
>"youre fucking kidding me"
in ANY game this would have felt SO tedious. for some reason in alien isolation i loved that moment.
>>339639007
It was because of the great atmosphere. I usually hate anything even remotely horror, because I completely freak out, but I just wanted to spend time on Sevastopol because they pretty much did everything right with the atmosphere. Only the graffiti stuff was a bit too generic imo, but thats a minor.
>>339637451
Agreed. It wasn't as strong as the Sonic Adventure games, but it wasn't bad by a long shot.
>>339637636
>yfw we got cucked out of playing a full game as Kelso
>>339631424
Who didn't?
>>339637636
If you like moviegames maybe
>>339638536
No one said to not have it in the game, turn off the caps lock you actual autist. The concept of the alien being able to show up fucking anywhere is great and having it be more of a rare thing actually just gives it the tension that an alien game should have
But you're right, we probably just need more scripted outlast chases and more of the game being completely pitch black for it to be a good horror game dont we
>>339631424
It's pretty patrician tbqh
>>339639712
A surprising number of people. Instant classic for me though. Great example of a well directed game without too much shit thrown in. They had a concept and they fucking delivered it, no bullshit. Or perhaps, too much bullshit, depending on if you thought the length was a tiny bit too long, which I did.
>>339639790
cool reply memelord
>>339640153
no other video game has the obvious love of the alien franchise put into it as Isolation did. It was atmospheric as all fuck and the alien being random was spooky
>>339638654
I rented this game as a last resort back in '06. I was originally looking forBomberman Act: Zero
I was on vacation at the time, so I spent 5 days locked in my room, trying my best to explore the world and play all of the side-quests. I had just bought RHCP's album "By the Way", so I had that playing on repeat the entire time I played Oblivion. Years later, they are both my favorite game and favorite album, and I don't doubt for a second that it's because I got to experience both of them at the same time. I ended up putting my copy of Dead Rising in the video game case when I went to return it. Never heard anything from my parents or the video store
>>339640153
I understand that gameplay is questionable
But art direction is literally SUPREME
and it looks like a million bucks in my toaster
10/10
>>339640105
>The concept of the alien being able to show up fucking anywhere is great
Yes, I agree. But that's not what the game fucking does you retard
it literally does not, and will not, show up for the 4 hours in between ejecting it from the station and the alien hive. That's not dynamic gameplay.
>>339638654
those Deidrick levels or whatever though
>>339631424
But nobody disliked this game anon.
>>339640634
Daedric you silly sally
>>339640705
whatever I don't like Elder Scrolls ya frilly willy
>>339640346
>dat spoiler
You would have been a different person had you rented that game instead of Oblivion
>>339640139
Compared to a large amount of games released today, DS2 is great
>>339640859
To each their own, you wonky donkey
>>339637636
Wait, people don't like it here?
It's definitely one of my all time faves.
>>339637302
Unfortuantly i have to agree with pic related.
It could have been so much more that it was but CCP were in charge.
It is now called Nova and going on PC.
>>339640872
>way back when
>sister asks what game I want for Christmas
>tell her some kind of shooting game I can't remember
>open presents on Christmas
>open the one from her

I can't help but wonder what the fuck that actually did to me
E3 NEW AYYYYLMAO
I'M CALLING IT GUISE
>>339640490
There are aspects that are questionable. They give you too many items, and occasionally the alien seemed to impossibly know where you were. But the amount of times that happened in my 25 or so hours of playtime were so small it didn't bother me at all, and I'm always an item hoarder anyway so I kind of ignored items until I really needed them in the late-game, which in retrospect was I think the best way to experience the game.
>>339641338
oh man, did you do the same thing I did and think it was gonna be gay shit, but then end up loving it, gayness notwithstanding?
>>339641846
They should do a new one, with a little more action here and there
I felt really constrained
But once again,the game is supreme
>>339640872
lel, I don't doubt it. I probably would have given up on Bomberman within an hour, not listened to RHCP for weeks, and eventually gotten runover by a semi going 74 in a 55
>>339633414
You just keep on being you, Anon. I thought the gameplay and story were kind of bland, but I actually liked the setting and lore a great deal. Also that card art.
>>339642059I'll never stop loving the original Kingdom Hearts
>>339642161
If they do a sequel it will have to be very very smartly directed. I'd be okay with a little more shootybang, similar to the advancement from Alien to Aliens, but they need to be careful. I just want them to maintain the tension. Give you more tools, but keep them scarce, make the aliens a foe that can be killed, but not easily, maybe? I'm honestly not sure how you could do a sequel to this game and expand on it without it just being the same thing.
>>339631424
>>339631424
Shit game, you have terrible taste op
>>339640634
Yeah worst part desu even from a super fan
>>339631424
Reminder OP makes this thread every day then samefags the shit out of it in a desperate attempt to shill this awful game.
just kidding.
>>339644385
phewwww
>>339643640
Reach was great. Fight me somebody about it
Short and sweet.
>>339631424
But Alien Isolation is arguably GOTY 2014 and one of the best games of the past few years. Just because IGN found it too difficult doesn't mean /v/ doesn't love it.
>>339644702
Was that IGN's complaint? I know a lot of people felt that the alien was unfairly difficult to avoid, but then their are people who say it's AI was bad, or it was really easy to cheese, and then a lot of bad reviews that just said the game was too long and dragged out, which is the only critique I kinda agree with, but I enjoyed the content so much, I didn't mind it lasted so long.
Should I watch Alien before I play this?
>>339631424
whats not to like. Love that game. One of my top 10, at least my favorite horror game.
this game got neglected
also fuck you IGN
>>339637228

>>339644141
>58 posters
>same fagging
why post?
>>339644969
Absolutely if you haven't seen it before. Even if you have, it makes it easier to catch all the movie references if you watch it before you start.
>>339644969
Yes. If you watch Alien and then play this you will appreciate how much effort they put into replicating it in video game form. They even put the game intro through a VHS player to give it that old noise shit used to have back in the day.
>>339644957
>Was that IGN's complaint?
Yep. Didn't even play it on Hard which is the only difficulty the game is good on.
>>339645016
because game is shit. Alien doesn't climb walls, he stalks you and only you, the plot is retarded and so on. It only can be passed as good because there are no other better games.
>>339633414
Its because its boring as fuck, has dog shit dialogue/characters and the worst animations of all time.
>>339645636
>Alien doesn't climb walls
This isn't an Aliens game, this is an Alien game. CA went out of their way to pretty much ignore Cameron's action-sequel in favour of playing up the fact that the original alien was played by a big Brazilian guy and was usually standing.
>the plot is retarded
What was wrong with the plot? It's pretty decent, you actually have a motivation to be on the station, then a motivation to try and leave
>>339631424
Dunno what's your point since I'm pretty sure /v/ agrees that Alien: Isolation was GOTY2014
>>339645636
Your bait has hooked me. It doesn't have specific animations for climbing walls, no, but it doesn't ever really need to do so to reach your slow ass on the ground, so? It absolutely does not stalk only you. There are huge rooms full of people it kills. The rest is just suspension of disbelief. It pops up at random because it happens to show up. Not because its "looking for you". And plot? It's got some neat lore shit, but the plot was about as good as you could expect moment to moment for a horror game where you're alone the whole time and the objectives are mostly turning machines on. Sorry you didn't like it dude
>>339631424
>being so insecure you have to say fuck you
kill yourself faggot
>>339646670
>It pops up at random because it happens to show up. Not because its "looking for you"
Well to play double's advocate here. It technically does sort of follow you since the alien is scripted to to some extent home in on your position. If it wasn't that way, as soon as you got past the alien it would be complete cakewalk. Honestly once you get that trick down, of just getting past him and moving on quickly, it'll be difficult for him to catch up.
>>339646938
Fuck you
>>339646670
No, it stalks you by the stupid game mechanic that has the taimer in every room. If you exceed the taimer limit then Alien spawns with the same sound. There is nothing random about it. It can be anywhere on the giant ship but instead it choses to be in the same room with you?
If makes SOUNDS. It alerts you to its presence. Thats stupid.
Plot is ridiculous shit from the start where they had to go in EVA suits with some dumb out of place bitch who was wearing glasses in the future in the space suit.
I could shit on it all day but i already forgot all about this game because there was nothing to remember. It just like Dead Space - go and fix this to open this and then go and take this to fix this to open this and open this and push this button and then again watch cutscene and pretend that you scared of this cartoonish alien and then again push button so something would happen. It was all about buttons and doors, buttons and doors
>>339647673
Sorry you didn't like it friend
>>339647957
whats to like? You already forgot that you playing Ripley's daughter? even this shit frustrates me. We could have be playing some cute little android girl who wasn't sure she was a human.
we could play as a wayland corporate guy who wants to investigate the case and bring alien alive or bring back more information about xenos
we could be playing for some other intresting character but instead we had to play for this boring girl who was shoehorned because...because lazy writers
>>339648646
let me go ahead and replace all those bad opinions with "I didn't like it"
And I will shoot the man that puts me in control of a guy instead of a woman in an ALIENS GAME
It was fun, fight me
>>339649232
I agree. It had a neat look and setting, the rail parts while lacking were fun and showed promise. A decent braindead shooter for when you want to space out and look at cool locations/ bright colors. 7/10
