Do it. It's a fantastic game. the fear is the driving force and it feels amazing when you get to a spot where it feels safe. Massive rush when you escape and remain hidden.

>>339791652
I think this is maybe why i find it so damn comfy, the first 2 Alien films have that feel for me and they nailed it for this game. The audio is a massive part for me too i think.

I remember playing it when it came out, pitch black room with headphones on. My girlfriend was asleep and she woke up and i couldn't hear her because headphones and she threw a fucking pillow at me and i nearly had a heart attack.

>>339793524
I generally don't like horror games because i can't seem to get immersed due to having that "it's a game" mentality. Even though that doesn't happen with action, RPG, shooters, anything else but horror. Maybe it's a defence mechanism that i remind myself its a game and do it too strongly that it just kills the horror for me.

but with AI it just overpowered that and i was terrified, maybe because i grew up with the films and my dad made me watch Alien when i was 5. So it's just embedded in me as a figure of pure horror.

You are seriously a massive faggot for using comfy to describe anything.

Any game where you can get to a place where you know the AI can't get you but is still dangerous outside of that.I remember in a James Bond game I found a spot where the AI couldn't get to you but would still run around looking for you and shooting the other bots every once in a while I would go out for ammo and armor it was pretty autistically comfy.

Yeah, it does the Resident Evil 4 thing, in which they make save points seem "comforting". I'm not sure if RE4 was the first to do that, though.

Either way, saving in Isolation was so fucking satisfying.

This game only has two flaws.

1) Small item limits for your inventory. You can carry 30 or so items in total, but only three charge packs, three ethanol bottles, three of this, three of that, but then six of this and six of that. I think it'd be a lot better if you just had 30 inventory spots and that was it. This is just for the components, by the way. The limit on crafted items and whatnot is okay.

2) The endgame is too long. The climax overstays its welcome. Right when you think you're finally finished, nope. This isn't really too much of a problem, but it really drags on, and it's non-stop in-your-face crazy Alien bullshit. It'd be nicer if the game was like fifteen or twenty minutes shorter.

It's a completely different subgenre of horror.

You can't really die in P.T. It's spooky visually and the audio's pretty jarring but there's no real fear.

In A.I., you start off against humans who are too much for you, and they're just defending themselves. Then they send in the working joe androids, which despite being friendly, are too much for the humans to handle. Then the alien shows up and you're in a world of pain where you have to use distractions or cheap defense crap to buy time to get what you need to do done. This alien will follow you into EVERY room in the game with the exception of a chapter that is infested with working joes, all of whom can crush your skull while politely asking you to leave the area. THEN they have multiple aliens coming at you from all directions while facehuggers are following you into your hiding spots. Did I mention you get a game over if the aliens or the facehuggers touch you just once?

>and they're just defending themselves
Dude, I dunno about that. The first group of humans may have been scared shitless of course, but we're playing as an unarmed skinny woman. Even in such an extreme situation, there's no way they would shoot on sight. They'd point their guns at you, sure, and be paranoid that you might try something, but all you're trying to do when you meet the first group of hostile survivors is simply walk to the other end of the room.

Was it me or was it kind of hard to tell what humans were cool with you or wanted to kill you. Like sometimes ellen ripley will warn them that the Alien is nearby and to hide.
>>
>>339795845
Well, survivors usually don't shoot you immediately. They just try to scare you off, and then they shoot you if you linger.

That being said, the survivor AI is WAY too quick to shoot at you. but that's hardly a blemish on this excellent game.

>>339796120
Yeah that was pretty bullshit too. There's a point where you walk into a room with some people, and up until this point every other person has been hostile.

When I first saw them, I just summoned the Alien and had them all killed, but then I got killed myself. When I respawned, I accidentally got myself seen by the humans, and was surprised that there was dialog between Ripley and them.

>>339796147
Dunno dude, they always seemed to shoot to kill. It might be a game mechanic which causes them to miss at first. Even if they do scare me off or whatever, they then follow me and try to shoot me dead.
>>
>>339795473
Haven't really thought about your first point but I wholeheartedly agree with your second point. I couldn't help but to think it was silly to make you do so many things in the endgame. Could've been better but great game all around.

>>339796702
It's the most viable way of handing groups of hostile survivors, since as long as you don't make a sound, the Alien will have no idea you're there at all and leave once all the people are dead after a few minutes.

Sure you could sneak past them or something, but then you don't get to loot them.

>>339796785
The best part about it is that you actually can defend yourself. This isn't some Amnesia or Outlast shit where it's run and hide or die.

You can kill humans easily (although they can kill you just as well), you can EMP and wreck the robots, and you can even scare away the Alien with fire. There's loads of gadgets you can make, from noisemakers to smokescreens.

The best part about this game is that despite all these ways to defend yourself, enemies can still overcome you, but they won't if you play smart.

Tell me more about your girlfriend, anon. Was she topless during the pillow throw? Did her breasts bounce up and down sexually as this happened? Once you realized what was going on, did she offer you a consolation blowjob?

At the time of hte pillow throwing, were her pubic hair trimmed, shaved?

I wouldn't call it comfy, but the atmosphere, sound design, aesthetic, everything is fucking incredible. Astoundingly true to the look and feel of the films and it's fantastic. The game stresses me the fuck out though so it's definitely not comfy. Crazy coincidence that this thread happens when I start playing again a year and a half later since I never finished it before. Just started chapter 13.

For the babby men that that need a little push.

Besides, the game is really good about adding more tension just when the player is starting to get confident in their abilities.

Even though this is a great and quite effective horror game, I can't help but want to just shoot and kill the alien. Always makes me wish Colonial Marines was good and for a new AvP since that last one was awesome but too short and is like 6 or 7 years old.

nigga it's not the license that makes the licensed bad

they're all cash-ins, and most of them are treated like a cheap cash-in during development, but once in a blue moon you get devs who care and are given just enough flexibility to work the full extent of their magic, so give Creative Assembly that pat on the back, cuz they aight. Lord knows we needed them after Gearbox's wretched abomination.

Hiding in a locker for 5-10 minute increments every 30 seconds is neither challenging nor fun. Fuck off retard. Hard difficulty just makes the game a chore that takes forever and kills the fun and tension.

Strangely enough, the same people who do the Total War games. No clue how they managed it, let alone went from only doing strategy games to something like this and did it better than most other devs who only do horror games to begin with.

This thread is just full of all the experiences I have had with this game, I got it when it came out and still haven't finished it just because its too much, I cant handle the stress, it is by far the best horror game I have ever played.
They nailed the atmosphere of the movie, the whole retro future thing, the beeps and boops of the computers the heavy thunks of them old keyboards and whirring of tape drives.
The unsettling nature of those androids especially those fold's of excess skin on their necks and that fucking alien man fuck.
Think I might jump back in and try finish it.

Too bad Ridley Scott royally fucked the Alien franchise with Prometheus and his likely-to-be-shitty new alien movie. Neil Bloomkamp wanted to do a fucking direct sequel to Aliens that undoes Alien 3 and Res, but Ridley had to be an asshole.

It seems really basic on the technical side of things. Most of the objects are simple and low poly, low-res textures, not many particle effects or dynamic lighting. But despite of that the game looks great due to art direction and basic lighting tricks
>>
>>339802225

They were fueled by undying love for the franchise, as opposed to making a profit off of it like so many others.
>>
>>339803063
There's plenty of particle effects, lots of sparks as well as dust floating in the air. Also a lot of volumetric smoke and fog.
>>
It'd be cool if the sequel would be like Aliens by being more action oriented. Wouldn't want another game to be all about hide and seek, but it doesn't matter because this game will never get a sequel that will be like what Aliens was to Alien. Why do the times have to be so shitty.
Also I hope that down the line somebody mods Isolation to be VR compatible. Could you imagine playing it on VR? It would be one of the most immersive video game experiences ever created because of the perfect atmosphere this game has.

I really liked the atmosphere, but im a pussy when it comes to horror. Im thinking of finding some trainer or cheats or something to make myself invincible or get rid of the alien. Any of you tried something like that?

Well, AI originally had Rift support that was dropped before release and reinstated with mods Given that the Vive is super similar to the Rift in terms of basic VR stuff, to the point that Lucky Tails (i.e. the Rift's launch pack-in) and another game or two have complete compatibility layers for use with the Vive, I could see something like that happening even before official Vive support hits. He might also be using that Vorpx injector.

This game was amazing.
I genuinely had a great time playing it and WISH I had a VR headset for it.
it not only looks great, but the simple hide and run gameplay made it so intense.
this is me literally being cautious as fuck, and there's literally nothing happening.

It forces so much fear and paranoia that even when you're alone, you're scared.

protip: saving while the alien is moving about resets the alien's position on load so as to not ruin your saves. I learnt about this in the hive when I saved just before an alien dropped down and got me and on the reload I had a good 30 second grace time before it dropped out.

A good way of losing fear is to die on purpose miltiple times in a row. The fear factor simply vanishes. Take a good close look at the alien, dash towards him, sprint around the map and get killed. When you grow accustomed than it's just a game of hide and seek
