Alien: Isolation

[Bobby Hundreds]

When did 'survival horror' become 'unable to defend yourself'?

[Brenfox]

I think it's a good switch. I've been playing games since the days of the spectrum & I'm totally fed up of just shooting things.

[lgfualol]

Had a go last night on it. Pretty cool game.

[Legend_in_blue]

I will give this a go tonight with the lights out on my plasma screen!

There's some new dlc on the way too.

[Legend_in_blue]

Amazing game so far, loving it.

Completely helpless, no weapons, it's a strange but satisfying position to be in tbh. There's hardly any guidance either on what to do. Such a rarity these days.

Good. More of the same. Just throw us in at the deep end and go with it.

Gem of a game and I haven't even met the Alien yet or anyone else, but it has me on the edge of my seat.

Playing through on hard and death count currently stands at 0.

[Legend_in_blue]

I still haven't died yet!

 

I put this game down and can't stop thinking about it.  All good games do that.

 

Angry Joe gave it an 8.  I'd go with that although if I continue to enjoy it as much as I am, I reckon I could give it 9.

Playing this through on hard, I have now died 7 times, but none to the alien. Just about to start mission 5, which I've heard is quite tough.

Any tips?

Avoid the alien.

[Legend_in_blue]

Avoid the alien.

 

Thanks for the advice 

 

There's an achievement on mission 5 to survive without the alien killing you.  On hard, I have decided that this is impossible.  Can't be done.  Probably more doable on easy or normal.  I've only died 3 times so far on mission 5 though - but getting to Morley's key card is tough. 

 

There's nothing quite like this game though - it's brilliant.

This is £19.99 in game when you preorder advanced warfare.

This is £19.99 in game when you preorder advanced warfare.

Which would be a fantastic deal if you didn't have to pre order modern warfare.

It's £48 to pre-order advanced warfare with GAME.  You can pre-order it for a little over £40.

 

So in total almost a £70 spend when it costs just over that to buy and preorder both online.

 

Still not a good deal.

 

GAME can stuff it.

This game is so tough. No margin for error whatsoever. Stuck on episode 6, after sending the whole medical wing into pandemonium. Death toll - 25.

still only six. 

 

You'll be playing until this time next year unless you lower the difficulty

Fair enough.

 

Will you be saying the same re: Destiny, one year into its 10 year cycle? 

[Manwell Pablo]

Fair enough.

 

Will you be saying the same re: Destiny, one year into its 10 year cycle? 

 

I sincerely hope not. Playing any game for over a year is boring, as you proved by never getting to the end of Dark Souls because (and despite all your bleating on about every game should be nearly impossibly hard) it was too hard for you.

[Legend_in_blue]

Bump.

 

 

Almost there.  Nearing the end of mission 17 of 18.

 

Damn good game this.  Deserves all the praise and awards it was given.  Superb.
