Should I buy this? Is it spooky?

Go in expecting a first person version of Resident Evil with an enemy that can't be killed and traps that force you to think outside of using guns.

>>389184494
OK. But can I fight at least a little bit? Or will I be running from the enemy 24/7?

You can fight some of the secondary enemies. With the Ayyy, it's distraction, avoidance, and luck.

Image contains real spoilers, btw

>>389184134
You should and it is. If you are a big fan of Alien then this is catered to you.

>>389184134
It's really good.

>>389184134
it's a walking simulator that gets boring half way through

It's spooky to start with, but I found the novelty of the alien chasing you wears off quite quickly, and ends up just becoming more of a nuisance than anything else

>>389184134
nope, I got memed into buying it and it turned out to be boring tedious shit
the visuals and sound are just like the movie though...

>>389185550
>Walking Simulator
Couldn't that be said to alot of fps's?

>>389184134
I liked it, has some good spooks. And Yeah there is some combat beyond the alien, it isn;t all hide and seek, but it is a large part of the game. (Though its some of the most tense moments, especially when you hear it
stomping after you).

Go for it op, its pretty cheap nowadays.

>>389185863
>20 euros
>pretty cheap

Personally I love it. It's basically like you're inside an Alien film.

>>389186006
You can get it for 9$ US on the current humble bundle.

>>389184134
Watch gameplay videos and you'll see how boring it is. I'm a huge Alien fan but I hated it. The AI constantly cheats (it literally teleports) and you spend dozens of hours just taking a few steps, hiding, and then taking a few more steps. It's boring and tedious and it's way too fucking long.

>>389184134
Wayyyy better then RE7. Actually what horror games have you played?

It's my personal goty of 2014.

>>389184134
>30% of the game is just opening doors

When you get to a medical facility, the training wheels are off and the game begins.

Some of the best door transitions imo.

You never got past Medical, did you?

>>389186218
I'm in my second playthrough, on Nightmare this time, and I don't think the Alien teleports. You can hear it crawling around in the vents. When it jumps up into a vent it isn't going to suddenly jump down somewhere really far away, it actually takes time to get there and you can hear it.

It's very good, the detail in the environments are amazing, but honestly it drags on a bit too much but has really good atmosphere. Definetly worth a playthrough.

I think this might be a few instances in certain cramped areas. I've seen it hop into a vent in another room and grab as I passed down another one literally a second after it hopped into the first one. (Possible but seemed a little too quick imo.)

But even if it were the case, it was acceptable, it didn't hamper the gameplay in anyway.

Even so it was very rare.

There's nothing like encountering the Alien in the vents

>>389187701
Almost. There's one scene after that.

>>389187881
Absolutely Terrifying

I avoided them if I could.
Rather hide in a fucking cabinet.

It's a bit too long and can be janky at times, but the atmosphere and aesthetic are top notch. I had a fun time with it.

>>389184134
>Should I
Yes, Its a very slow paced game so don't come back bitching and making "ITT: Times /v/ recommended shit games to you"
>spooky?
no. I mean there will be times when you'll jump or get tense but overall not very scary. I'm a huge pussy btw. Will not touch any SH games. even SlenderMan games scare me more

>>389188068
I NEVER hide inside cabinets or lockers. For one thing you can't move or see shit. But also on Nightmare the Alien seems like he gets me every single time. He sniffs around until he gets to the thing I'm hiding in and then smashes it open and kills me.

It's much better to hide behind objects and under tables I find.

>>389184134
Not spooky but very tense. Play on nightmare for the true experience.

>>389188281
I think the only time I hid in th ecabinet was right after you activate in the generator after encountering the facefucks Things were trembling and booming, had to gauge if it were the alien of the freaking generator.

>>389188281
Hiding in lockers changes the Alien's behavior. It knows you've gone to ground and will tighten up it's patrol radius. Hiding under desks and gurneys is much better.

Don't listen to these retards it's tedious rubbish
all you do is walk really fucking slowly everywhere if the alien is around you cant even walk
opening doors takes too long and you do it all the fucking time
stealth is hit and miss but works 100% when abused by just ducking behind waist high walls
there are no puzzles outside of the braindead hacking minigame
no resource management (there is crafting but it's pointless)
there is a health meter but as the alien is the only real threat and instakills you it's basically pointless
what little actual shootan is atrocious
checkpoints that place you before unskippable cutscenes

>>389188042
Do you bust the window and they all get sucked out in space like in Alien 3 ?

>>389188513
Man, I can't believe you're so extremely retarded. How do you even manage to tie your own shoelaces or eat without spilling the food all over yourself? Holy shit, dude, wow.

>>389188547
No, you never blow the Alien out an airlock, surprisingly.

You blow up the station because it's filled with ayys then drift into space, after the credits a spotlight focuses on you.

>>389189105

Don't you board a ship with an alien in it and then blow it and yourself out into space before the spotlight?

Thanks bro

>>389189105
You are forgetting about the part when you reboard your ship. That's when you blow an Alien out of the airlock

>>389188513
>all you do is walk really fucking slowly everywhere if the alien is around you cant even walk

Walking makes no noise to the alien if you're standing or crawling. Regular walking is actually recommended over slow crouched walking in situations where only the Alien is present since the Alien can only hear your footsteps if you're in a running animation.

>opening doors takes too long and you do it all the fucking time

I played this on PS3 and the only unreasonable waiting are the metro. And that is because some are scripted to be longer, like the first time you meet the Alien at the very start of the game.

>stealth is hit and miss but works 100% when abused by just ducking behind waist high walls

The game is consistent with the rules of the stealth mechanics. The only trouble is the human AI which can be spotty in stealth.

>there are no puzzles outside of the braindead hacking minigame

T. Someone who didn't make it past the Alien nest.

>no resource management (there is crafting but it's pointless)

I call managing the flamethrower and throwables to be resource management, but OK.

>there is a health meter but as the alien is the only real threat and instakills you it's basically pointless

It's not pointless. You take environmental damage and it's there ti punish people who think they can tank enemy encounters with robots and humans. If you're playing the speedrun maps, health is important because it's tied to flamethrower hit and run away tactics.

>what little actual shootan is atrocious

Shotgun is fine. Pistol is fine. Stop bitching.

>checkpoints that place you before unskippable cutscenes

Patently false and an outright lie. You can skip cutscenes. And shitter baby thinks more game needs more checkpoint handholding because precious millennial snowflake baby can't ever lose anything in life, you have to be a winner. Any horror game with a checkpoint system is a a game designer giving up to an extent for the mass market.

>>389188969
You're activating the cargo umbilical in the scene of that image to escape back onto your ship. Right before the Ayys grab you, you're pulled into the Torrens and the Ayys fall into the gas giant planet with the entire station.

Final scene is you still in your space suit wandering around the Torrens heading for the bridge. At the last door an Alien comes out. You back into the airlock and blow it, shooting both of you into space. Ripley is shown floating alone in space, and a light shines across her helmet right before the fade-to-black, hinting that SOMEONE arrived to pick her up.

>>389189079
Technically no, you blow yourself out the airlock. The Alien is trapped in the lab module

>>389188972
>>389189092
nope I beat the game on hard and the dlc on nightmare
the craftign system is pointless because the only thing with crafting are distraction things that make noises for a while, there is no point making anything else or collecting blueprints/upgrades or whatever it was
also yes you have to crouch walk pretty much everywhere on nightmare unless you want to end up replaying large chunks of the same sections over and over again

>can kill the Alien but their numbers are so great that it's just a really bad idea to alert them

It's a fantastic game, but it feels frustrating dying because you might spend a fuckton of time sneaking around and being careful and then suddenly die, and the game doesn't have checkpoints

>>389191231
I've heard this criticism quite a few times but I never felt that the distance between save points was great enough to be punishing. Maybe implementing shortcuts would have improved the design however.

Pirate the DLC
It's all far too expensive for what you get in each pack, but the actual content is good

And also pirate the main game unless it's really cheap and/or you want to vote for a new game with your shekels

Oh look, a faggot simulator

>>389194316

the movie straight up tells you her daughter is ded tho

>>389194492
Aliens isn't canon to Isolation, so it saying that her daughter died at 60 years old didn't really have an effect on how I interpreted the ending.

>>389194492
the movie also showed a picture of her looking way older than her early 60's which is when she died. It's a Weyland-Yutain conspiricy WAKE UP PEOPLE!

>>389194492
>weyland-yutani's literal corporate shill shows ripley a picture of an old lady
it's well established that the company knows exactly what happened to Ellen and lie about it every single chance they get
either amanda died and they're just showing off a random picture of an old cunt or she didn't die and that's actually her

>>389194492

Whether or not the photo of Amanda in Aliens is actually legitimate or not (and what would be the point of lying since one way or another Amanda would most likely be dead by then), someone clearly was there at the end of A:I. What happens to her after that is still up in the air.

>>389184134
It's got excellent atmosphere and can get scary, but the game is too long so it gets tedious fast. Also, the AI isn't impressive, it just keeps the alien within 30 feet of anywhere you are. It sucks trying to read terminals or listen to things but getting killed because the patrol pattern is: alien wanders off, comes back 10 seconds later. Expect a lot of trial and error because of this shit.

>>389195169
I fucking HOPE it's another game. Isolation was amazing.
