I've told this Isolation story before on these dead gay forums, but when I first played it on PS4 my 2 year old son had managed to climb out of his bed and into the living room where I wa ssitting with my headset on, in the dark. He's like "DADDYYYY DADDY DADAY DADDY", the microphone on the headset transmits this into the game and the alien rips open the closet I'm hiding in and brutally murders me. 10/10 game.

There are a few moments where stuff like this can happen, but I think I know which area you mean. First time playing I didn't even get to throw a Noisemaker, because the bastards saw me first and just opened fire immediately, so I had to scurry off and hide in an air vent. Then the Alien appeared, cleaned up in moments, and I stayed in the vent like a scared little baby while it stomped around jumping in and out of the ducts, until I was sure it wasn't coming back.

It came back as I made a run for the elevator. I'm not ashamed to admit I screamed "gently caress!" several times on seeing the Alien start rushing at me as the door took a small eternity closing :downs:

Speaking of intense poo poo-your-pants moments, I've had this for years and now seems like the appropriate time to share it:


Looks funny now but I was about to bite my own tongue off at the time.


Edit:
Found this one too. I like playing with fire :downs:


No game has made as scared as I was playing this game.

Oh, I watched The Predator last night. Wow, that was pretty bad. Now I was really intoxicated and depending on the type of intoxication, I've learned that has an impact on the movie I watch. Usually, getting drunk, depending on HOW drunk, can really help me to follow terrible editing. I don't want to admit this but I liked Suicide Squad. Had I seen it sober, maybe not so much.

But The Predator was not good. I think Resurrection was better (in terms of the Alien/Predator universe) and I really don't like that movie. There very few redeeming parts of The Predator. I always seem to watch movies more than once so maybe I'll understand more the second time around. But so far, drat. Not good.

I loved it. Dunno why but I did

Nah, just make aliens claustrophobic and more mysterious and we'd be fine. Make the characters competent and serious. Make them overwhelmed despite technology and sound decision making. Take your time and film it like a neo-noir like a Craig Zahler film, let the characters breath in each scene and have the dread palpable. Make the violence spectacular, something special, an outre with huge shock value to slap the audience awake.

Don’t stop

Please

Oh I know, and I've never have a game give me the same level of "Oh thank you Jesus" as seeing that first glorious pea shooter just sitting there waiting for me to pick it up. Followed by several minutes of nervously crawling around waiting for the other shoe to drop. By contrast in Alien Isolation I saw the dropped gun, inched forward, spent at least 10 minutes mashing various buttons trying to pick it up, assumed it had bugged out, reloaded, tried again, and finally checked a walkthrough and got so mad I quit the game and didn't come back to it for a week.

No matter how good the rest of the game is that is one bit where Alien Isolation just hosed up the mood big time.

Hate to say it chief but I think that one's on you

I'm playing isolation because of this thread and yeah, when I got to the part where you see a gun on the ground but can't pick it up for no discernable reason, it completely took me out of the game too, because were I for reals in that situation you bet your asses I'd strap up the first chance I got. I thought it was a bug until I read it here, too.

Please stop.

Yeah, I got Daniel Kash (Spunkmeyer from ‘Aliens’) and Ian Whyte (the Predators in the AvP movies, and the Engineer in ‘Prometheus’) and would have had Jeanette Goldstein (Vasquez) and Cynthia Scott (Dietrich) were it not for technical difficulties.

I also got Steve Perry (co-author of the first 3 Aliens novels and the first AvP novel).

drat I remember that LP. So good.

WY didn't know until after Ripley told them? That seems unlikely... Didn't someone just post recently that the droid on the Nostromo was there specifically to facilitate getting a specimen?

Even if they didn't know, why aren't they sending in drop ships to LV-426 during/after the events of A3?

Remember, this is a corporation; they can do nothing right.

I tried to do acid once in a microdose solution (I took it all) and it didn't work. Looked it up and antidepressants can counter it. :saddowns:

man, that sucks. Acid is for The People and everyone should do it.

also lolling hard at the directors cut ruining the pacing :qq: with the hadleys hope scenes, its like 5 minutes at the start of the film

ID argue its not «foreshadowing» as much as its just world building. This is the first we see of the civilian colonist side of things, and its established that the Company sucks and everyone knows it. It’s a good and cool scene.

Yeah, an ideal cut would retain the stuff cut from after the Marines are introduced. The "life on the outpost" stuff, while fine in a vacuum, seems superfluous and Ripley's daughter, I won't miss too much if it were excised.

Just watched Resurrection for the first time, it was off the charts fuckin' stupid. Not sure what I was expecting after seeing 3, but goddamn.

I'm just going to pretend everything after Aliens didn't happen. Ripley and Hicks and Newt went off to do something actually interesting, the end.

People keep saying we strayed into hell dimension after 2016 but really the timelines diverged after Alien 3 was greenlit.
