STRIKE!
A game where you can't kill the monster? What's the deal?

STRIKE!
Seriously it's on Steam sale and I like the movie. But the idea of a game where you run from a bad guy for 6 hours seems like the novelty might get real old real quick. Any IMP reviews?

my legs are okay
I played this with friends and didn't make it past the first stealth section because we didn't realize the kinect was listening to us. Cool feature, but we felt really fuckin dumb when we figured it out

It sounded like it had some cool ideas (as you progress through the game the Alien AI starts unlocking new and harder behaviors, they tried to make a good portion of the enemy behaviors have recognizable audio cues, etc.), but from what I've heard the game is longer than it needed to be and kind of overstays its welcome.

this char is good
a horror game is only good so long as nothing fucks up. the moment something fucks up its not scary and it takes you out of it. like amnesias fucktarded enemy ai made it so you could get a clear look at the enemies and realize they're dumb looking as poo poo. a 20 hour long horror game seems like a bad idea imo, when amnesia was like 6 hours long and barely held together at best

There is some very sensual touching going on in the cutscene there. i don't actually think it means anything sexual but it's cool how it contrasts with modern ideas of what bad ass stuff should be like. It even seems authentic to some kind of chivalric masculine touching from a tyme longe gone

Haha that's really cool, that a person might have to for example put their dog in the yard in order that the video game monster not hear it

More Than Meets the Eye
I did like the game.

It was however, overly long, and it got repetitive, especially having to cross the same large areas of the station several times each. (You flipped that switch? Alright, go right the gently caress back where you came from and take the elevator now.)
It got to where I was more scared of having to repeat a forty-five minute long section of map, rather than afraid of the drat alien itself.
Sometimes the AI was inconsistent, the alien was alternately the most oblivious thing in the universe, and practically freaking psychic. One time I exited one of those commodore 64 pc screens and about poo poo myself - the alien was standing right in front of me, and it just turned and walked away. I assumed it was a bug regarding the computers - nope, it got me a couple of times while I was looking at those PCs, it had just picked that one time to go blind and retarded.
Spoiler - The "ending" - a cliffhanger, was a real disappointment.

Despite all that, I loved the atmosphere of the game, and all the expansion/filling out it made on the alien universe.

there is a point about 20 minutes into the game where you have to go through some ducts or something because your character cant vault over a shin high barrier and i said i dont like this game and have played no more since.
