Predator is so good because they had the second unit director shoot the first action scene so it looks like a typical Arnie action flick and then BOOM you're in the best loving slasher movie of the 80's with skinned people hanging from trees, CONTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACT and Billy standing on a log carving his chest with what's basically a sword it's really good e- and it has the best score, too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXnAxydhZ8M

We used to quote Hudson all the time when I worked a warehouse job. Like a truck would come in and somebody would say, “hey can you guys grab a couple of pallet jacks and unload this shipment?” and we would hilariously reply, “oh yeah sure! With those things running around out there? You can count me out” everyone in the company recognized how funny it was that we were quoting a movie!

Aliens 3 was decent since it had Tywin in Space and was able to maintain the visual consistency of the previous movies. I guess it was sort the failure at going in a new direction while the previous movies did this much better.

Grape posted:So poorly remembered that they only based an entire Starcraft unit around her. They based a few of things around Aliens in Starcraft. One being the "Cold Fusion" cutscene where they are setting the nuke up and then the Zerg start attacking them from all angles. You can just get a sense that they picked up some stuff from Aliens. I also believe that Brood War took some stuff from Starship Troopers. More of the big Zerg (bugs) cutscenes where they're fighting a huge army that's just rushing over them. Glenn Quebec posted:Aliens is awesome. Now, Aliens based video games.... Not so much. There were some decent AvP games. Aliens vs Predator 2010 version wasn't too bad. I always hate playing the Marine though because poo poo is scary as gently caress. You can't see anything, the Predator can kill you from the other side of the map, and the xenomorph can come at you from any angle, and with friends. Actually I enjoyed Colonial Marines. I waited a few years so they could get the bugs out but the story wasn't too bad. I have Alien: Isolation but, and I'm being dead serious here, I'm too afraid to play it. The first AvP game that came out was loving amazing to my teenage self. My friend and I were playing it for the first time. Well it was me and him standing over my shoulder. You start out in an APC. Once you take a step outside.... beep.............. beep.............. beep........ uh oh, I'm getting scared. Beep....... beep........ beep..... poo poo. Beep.... beep.... beep..... ok what do I do now where are they? beep beep beep beep beep..... I pointed my pulse rifle at the ground and set off a grenade. gently caress that poo poo. It was his turn. That was also one of the first "survival" games to exist. My friend and I would do multiplayer, just him and I, and we'd do the bunker map and wave after wave of aliens come at you. Get myself a Smart Gun and go to loving town until the inevitable happens and they overrun us and take us down like Hudson in a blaze of fire.

I remember playing the marine demo back in the day again and again. Was pretty replayable since the game uses random enemy placement which made the encounter somewhat unpredictable. Remember the facehugger insta-kill animation?

They're super tiny, fast, and can jump anywhere. If there was one in the room you just start emptying mags left and right while holding the back button down. Fire was the best way to deal with them. Just fill the whole god drat room with fire.

Oh poo poo, I didn't know there was a 1994 3D version. I was thinking of the 1999 version. edit: nm it's in there edit 2: oh... I see. So literally everyone who designed a facehugger in any Alien game is a loving dick. Pennywise the Frown fucked around with this message at 16:23 on Mar 3, 2019 |

Avp (2010) was also somewhat decent. Colonial Marines on PC was greatly improved by the mod scene which fixed the graphic issues and many of the AI problems.

Genesplicer posted:The fun part about the Sassy Latina, Vasquez, was that the actress, Jenette Goldstien, was a favorite of Cameron's. She played Vasquez in "Aliens", Janelle, John Connor's foster mother in "Terminator 2", and the Irish mother with the small children in "Titanic". Also the joke they make about her thinking they meant illegal aliens was real. She auditioned for the movie thinking it was about illegal aliens. quote:I had seen Alien, but I had no idea this was a sequel. It had been so long ago, it didn’t even occur to me. I thought it was about actual aliens, you know, immigrants to a country. I was wondering why they wanted Americans. I figured the movie was about lots of different immigrants to England.

Oxballs, have you ever been mistaken for a good poster?etalian posted:Avp (2010) was also somewhat decent. Yeah I think my favorite modern AvP game is the 2010 version. I might have to play it again. I'm still trying to work up the balls to play Isolation. I might have to get really drunk or something, but I doubt that would help. I heard the game is fantastic.

quote:Goldstein had studied acting in California and New York, but while in New York, she met and fell in love with a British man. They got married and settled in England, where Goldstein attended drama school. Three years later, she had done a number of different theater (or should I say theatre) production in England, but did not have an agent. In a local trade, she saw the following notice, "Genuine American actors, British Equity, for feature film Aliens, 20th Century Fox."

Well it's more a survival horror type game similar to Soma especially since you have limited weapons and the gadgets only serve to drive off/distract the Alien.

You might really like it. I didn't get spooked by the alien though, and it just seemed really tedious. I wanted to explore but : climbs into cupboard again for two minutes : People usually really like it though. GRINDCORE MEGGIDO fucked around with this message at 17:05 on Mar 3, 2019 |

^^^ edit: VR.... I'd probably have a gun on hand to shoot myself just in case Yeah survival games are definitely not my thing. I don't like tension at all unless it's in small doses. I just heard it was good and it's closer to Alien than Aliens so I figured it was an interesting change. I'm just a big weenie and am literally afraid to play a game.

I still insist that the best Aliens game ever made is Space Station 13 Colonial Marines, but you have to be kind of broke-brain to like SS13 in the first place so I guess that's a niche opinion Alien Isolation is the best Alien game, no contest.

Is there a mod for Isolation that removes the alien? Or makes it not hostile? SOMA is one of my most favorite of games and there is a mod like that for that game.

I'm thinking I might reinstall AvP 2010 and give that a run through. I always love being the alien. Yeah, I'm the baddie so it's less scary, but then again if someone breathes too heavily on me I burst into acid.

Aliens was my favorite movie as a kid and I think it still might be my favorite movie today. One time I stepped on an alien action figure and it pierced halfway through my foot. Just as deadly in inanimate plastic form.
