This game is grand! Why isn't /v/ talking more about it

>>383265873
You're late, it had mixed reactions, and also did not sell enough to ever get a sequel.

>>383266417
>it had mixed reactions

Oh please, with /v/'s nature, anything other than unanimous hatred is pretty much a pass.

>>383265873
Way late, when it came out it was discussed nonstop. I think it had a mainly positive reception.
I bought into the hype and got it, but didn't find it as good as they made it out to be. Still, I got it dirt cheap relatively close to launch; so it was worth it.

Playing it with the unpredictable alien mod elevated a great game to one of my favorites

Ending was shit tho, fuck that ending

It's stretched out longer than it needs to be but yea it's good

>>383269051
if the game only lasted for about half the time and cost half the price it'd be considered a masterpiece.

>>383269051
>It's stretched out longer than it needs to be

Pretty much expected from games these days.

>>383265873
I'm playing through it for the first time myself. I'm a pussy though, so I'm currently spending three times as long making my way through medical.

once you figure out how to abuse Alien AI, it becomes a cakewalk. Also unlike Amnesia where the enemies terrified me, when the Alien spawned i was thinking oh boy here we go again only. The game is not scary but rather just tense.

Still happy with my purchase, bought it during the summer sale. I haven't tried the DLCs yet but i will play them at once, maybe i'll try Nightmare difficulty as well (finished it on hard)

im too scared to play it, i got to the first cutscene with the alien and alt f4'd out of fear
the movies weren't this scary

but /v/ does like A:I

the alien instantly killing you from a vent if you sprinted for a nanosecond was fucking retarded and it wasnt even scary, only annoying

gee if only there was a way to tell if Alien was in the vent or not

>>383265873
It was 2014 goty and the best horror game in 10 years

The only thing i didn't like was the retarded human enemies.
>got stuck on airbase with an alien creature that can fuck up everything in sight less than few seconds
>movement sounds like crazy up in the vents
>lmao let me just shoot at you and attract it just to get myself killed

Later on i just started using noisemakers to wipe those fuckers out

Played it on the hardest difficulty. I enjoyed it quite a bit, although I'm biased since I love the franchise. I really appreciate all the effort Creative Assembly went through to make the tech in the game as authentic to the series as possible.

My only complain is that the Xenomorph A.I. was borderline retarded most of the time.

I'm playing it for the first time with the Unpredictable Alien AI (a friend told me to do it).

I'm having a lot of fun for now.

It's pretty fun and I'm glad the Alien kills are not just shitty jumpscares.

The atmosphere and art directing is amazing. They really did hit bullseye with the visuals.

>mfw I played a few hours of the game without realizing why I was constantly losing health

>>383273710

It's funny how the A.I. cheated sometimes too.

>See Xenomorph coming out of roof vent.
>run to the first room I can find and close the door.
>hide in the only closet in the room, wait for it to leave.
>xenomorph comes in does it's usual routine.
>see it leave up the same shaft if came out of.
>"safe" time to come out.
>take one step outside the room
>suddenly my character freezes and a big alien hand pulls me into the dark.

This happened to a couple of times during the second half of the game. There was only one alien in the room. So I always assumed it was a bug.

>>383274165
why were you constantly losing health ?

2spoopy4me

terrible game, slow and clunky garbage
it looks and sounds just like the film though

This. It dragged out a bit at the end but I fucking really enjoyed it.

>Giving you lots of cool weapons through they do fuck all to the alien
>Getting in gunfights with other humans on the ship then scrambling when you hear the vents rumbling
>That stunning recreation of the original Alien aesthetic.
>That brilliant optimization
>That first time you realise the Alien hasn't left and it's just rumbling about in the vents
>That first time you see saliva dripping from the vents
>The ASCIII computers
>The fucking sound in general
>That first time you climb into a vent thinking your safe and the Alien FUCKING CLIMBS IN AFTER YOU

Can't believe it's three years old already, it was the first game from this generation that actually impressed the shit out of me.

>IGN gives it 5.9/10
Fuck off

whoa really?
>gamespot 60

The game is just a pleasure to look at. I don't think I've ever enjoyed a game's aesthetics as much as this one, which really is the entire doing of the original concept artist, since Fox provided the developer with literal terabytes of material to draw from. Love it.

And even though the AI (heh) is completely abusable, that didn't stop my Nightmare playthrough from being incredible. I think I ended the game with 1 revolver bullet, maybe one noisemaker, and nothing else. I made use of all my tools. It felt great.

>>383276401
Did IGN really? As if I needed any more reason to disregard their shitty opinions. Also, those reflections look like such ass to me, but so many people seem to like them. I'm much fonder of the textured surfaces. I guess I'm a retard.

>>383274791
For some reason the Alien acts really buggy and strange when the player character exits a locker.
You shouldn't hide in lockers anyway, they're shit. Better crawl underneath a table or something.

>>383271474
The alien never instantly kills you from a vent UNLESS it was waiting in that vent (see >>383271806) and you walked right underneath it in which case it'd be irrelevant whether you sprinted or not.
In every other case, the Alien has to make its ways through the vents, drop out of a vent, and THEN attacks you ; but it won't just hit you from within the vent when you're outside.

>>383274871
Great game until you eject the first alien out into space and have to fight androids for most of the time.

I actually bought the game a couple of weeks ago because /v/ recommended it. Although I have not played it yet.

>>383270972
cause of the tether anon, mod it out and you get an alien that at times never shows up, and then pow, is just hanging out somewhere cause it drops far away enough you can't hear it come out of the vent.

>>383270081
I stopped using the motion detector since it does fuckall when you know the A.I. Just hear it come down, pop behind a table and keep moving. Pretty fluent game after that.

>watching Aliens
>they drop dead right and left
I hope this game will never get a sequal
