I'm too scared to get enough to use the flamethrower. How effective is it. And how do I stop being a huge pussy
It's literally a get out of murder card.
Each burst spends roughly 25 units, the alien needs 1 to 3 hits to run away into a vent and give you a breather.
>>342790381
Wait it's that powerful? How is this a horror game. That takes all the good aspects out of the game. I'm happy because now I have a way to get past, but a little disappointed
>>342790558
The breather is really short and flamethrower fuel is scarse.
Rely on it and you'll run out ammo in just a few minutes.
>>342789889
Haven't even met an Alien or Android yet and I'm already scared as fuck.
Just got through failing my chance at signaling your ship with that flare.
>>342790864
>Haven't even met an (...) Android yet
Anon...
>>342789889
>I'm too scared to get enough to use the flamethrower.
>tfw 3 hours into the game and I'm only just at the part whereAxel(or whatever his name was dies
I'm enjoying the scenery a little too much and just walking around picking everything I can up.
>>342789889
>And how do I stop being a huge pussy
Just imagine the alien wants to cuddle.
>>342789889
dying only sets you back 30seconds at worst.
enjoy!
>>34279295
Playing the DLC that's based off the film first so that I'm playing the story in order. Haven't got to the main game yet, since they're so short dying sets you waaaaayy back.
I chased him back to his little vent. I shouldn't Haven this much power in a horror game where you should feel powerless
>>342790558
>>342789889
It eventually stops caring about the flame thrower if you use it too often anon.
>>342794550
Fuck.
>>342789889
I only ever play this when I have friends over and I think I might have fucked up putting it on hard mode for my first time. I never EVER play games like this and I'm having trouble just understanding how this Alien ticks or what effects it or what exactly will make it show up or if it really is that random. I'm currently at the part where I'm trying to get help from the doctor or whatever. The last time I quit was at the part where I looked at the dry erase board and I got killed a couple of times because am shit at hiding
This game was bull shit. There's ONE alien and it's seemingly everywhere you go! Stopped playing because I got bored of the story and its lack of twists.
>>342794645
Same with the flares, noise makers and all the other party tricks. If you use them all too much the alien wises the fuck up and just doens't give a shit anymore. It's coming for you.
>>342792172
Giger would be proud.
I'm in the air vent mission now where I have to lead it out.if I'm in that vent and that thing comes at me face on I'm refunding this game
>>342795163
Yeah. Just like in Alien. It's a game based on the 1979 film you know
>>342795762
Hahaha just you wait. When you see the alien coming up the vent and there is no where to go but it's jaws
>>342796075
That actually happened to me at one stage, i was in a vent, though the fucker was elsewhere and it dropped down infront of me and i watched is scuttle toward me, i flamed it and it vanished.
Then about 10 seconds later it made a noise from behind and i was dead. Cunt.
>>342790381
>>342790558
This nigger can survive the vacuum of space and drops from extreme heights plus the acid blood from its own species but NOT short fire bursts?
I like to keep this for close encounters.
*Racks shotgun*
>>342790558
>>342797801
It's very temporary and the Xeno will come back pissed very soon. Escape & Evasion works better, the flamethrower is a last resort.
Plus, rely on it too much and the Xeno realizes fire doesn't hurt it and stops being afraid.
>>342792172
Not cute enough.
>>342795163
>There's ONE alienActually...
>Mfw stuck in the reactorWITH TWO FUCKING ALIENS
How can something so scary have such a delicious booty?
>>342795995
Why is it only following the main character wherever she goes and not all the other survivors?
>>342798397
because that wouldn't be fun you enormous autist
>>342790558
Well it wouldn't be a very good horror game if it was impossible.
Play on harder difficulties and you'll experience the actual game.
>>342798481
Well then it's not "just like alien"
>>342798726
turbo autism
>>342798970
Have you seen the movie?
The xenomorph dosen't follow ripley the whole movie.
>>342799279
so?
>>342799279
Its a game ffs. In my opinion the alien should have gotten more screen time. Instead we get those slow ass androids
>>342801624
Joes ruin this game. Ruin is a strong word but they are far and away the least interesting part of the game. The game could have used a trimming and they should have removed a few of the Joe sections
>>342801763
>You are becoming hysterical
>>342801763
Yeah thats another problem. Its too long. 10 hours would have been the optimal length for this game.
>>342789889
How come this alien is unkillable? Not a real fan of colonial marines but aren't they really easily killed by some shotgun blasts or fire?
>>342804073
No. In the first alien it was more of an unkillable beast. James Cameron ruined what the alien was in the 2nd movie.
>>342804546
Finally, another sane person.
Aliens are better when they're sneaky, invincible, brutal monsters. Not bugs that you can just stomp underfoot. Fuck James Cameron.
>>342805659
>>342804546
While I love Aliens to pieces as an action movie, it does pale in comparison to Alien for me. Alien is a better movie anyway but I love how they handled the xeno itself so much more in the first one. The decision to change the xenos into mindless bugs worked for that movie but it definitely didn't fit with the first at all.
Great movie regardless, I just really prefer the first one.
>>342797801
Your shotgun might as well be a pea-shooter for all the good it does.
>>342798361
A dangerous ass, would you risk your life to slap it?
>>342795163
Wut, there are more than one alien.
>>342794940
Watch markiplier's playthrough. It largely consists of what NOT to do, which is actually quite helpful. I was getting slaughtered in the medlab, watched his efforts, implemented some of his tactics and avoided others, and made it through the entire facility without getting killed.
>>342799279
That's because there'smore than one alien on the ship and it isn't the same one following you around. You'll also have to, at one point, sneak through an alien hive in the reactor of the ship. This also explains why the alium "forgets" ignoring your toys between levels.
>>342796917
Keeping hidden restricts the Alien to only a vague idea of where you are. Once you flame it, though, it gets a pretty good bead on your location.
>>342798361
>editor's note: hissssss means swiggity-swooty I'm comin' for dat booty
>>342804073
It's very resilient to the civilian weapons available to the survivors. Military grade gear could fuck it up, but no one on the station has anything like that.
>>342789889
You're either a huge pussy, or you're actually playing really well as the game becomes significantly less scary the more you die.
As for the flamethrower it's bretty gud if you can get the jump on the alien, but it usually comes back for you pissed as hell so i wouldn't recommend it. Without going into spoilers, i found it almost necessary in one of the later parts of the game though.
>>342801763
If youre stuck and need to get away from the Ayy, the flares work better at distracting it than almost anything. it will watch the flare for a good 30 seconds giving you time to slip away into another section or hide.
>tfw I spent 3 hours in a locker in the medbay section
This is probably the most effective horror game ive ever played, better than fnaf, outlast, resident evil, silent hill (4 might be better).
>>342801763
Yeah the later part with the joes felt really long. They could have cut down on that part a bit and it would have been perfect.
The aesthetic of this game is like comfy heaven to me, big boxy computers and 70s inspired space age designs are incredible
>>342789889
never do more than a short burst and you can effectively keep the ayylien out of your way
>>342795163
In the first part of the game where you go around in the medical labs or something you see at least two people with chestburster wounds. Take that as a hint
