Whatever you do, don't bother with Colonial Marines and its multiplayer DLCs
Isolation is actually scary. The alien could come out at anytime, anywhere, and you can hear the thing crawling around in the vent above you.
If you're really lucky, the game will glitch and the alien will clip through the floor and scare the shit out of you
Alien Isolation is stellar until halfway through, and then starts deteriorating.
It's never a bad game but I really don't have any fond memories of it past Chapter 10.

A guy in the Aliens Colonial Marines reviews talks about how great his mod is, claims it fixes the game. Anyone tried it out ? [url]http://www.moddb.com/mods/templargfxs-acm-overhaul[/url]

Well that's good and all but if you need an unofficial mod to make the game decent, then your game sucks. Without mods this game is barely playable

Isolation is scary for five missions, then Isolation godawful fucking repetitive as holy fuck is this game repetitive. Play til you get to the flashback and then honestly stop cause there's literally nothing left to see. The flashback is the reason to play the game and it's a damn shame they didn't expand on it.
Also on nightmare you're going to be in lockers and box forts for literal tens of minutes, which is the rote definition of "why the fuck am I still playing this shit".

As long as it is fixed I don't care who did it.
The second half of Isolation would have been a lot better if the alien wasn't stapled to your asshole the whole time for no reason whatsoever, but it's still worth picking up
I'm gonna try out A:CM with that mod, at worst I wasted an hour and I can get my money back
wheres AVP2 the greatest aliens game so far

I think they made a super easy mode so its less of an issue

I agree but one of my favorite parts of the game was also one of the most frustrating parts.
It's the part where you find your first hive and [sp] the motion detector goes insane[/sp] It was even scarier on PS4 because the motion detector beeping comes out of the controller
[QUOTE=usaokay;50208999]Pff, yeah, if you're a baby.[/QUOTE]
again is 2010 AVP any good ?
[QUOTE=theevilldeadII;50209055]again is 2010 AVP any good ?[/QUOTE]
It's decent. Not bad, not particularly good either. The best one remains AVP2 with its expansion.
[QUOTE=theevilldeadII;50208895]I think they made a super easy mode so its less of an issue[/QUOTE] It's not even about the difficulty, the alien is fucking scary as shit at first because you never know when he's going to pop out of a vent, later in the game you're surprised when he doesn't and then you're just "welp time to hide behind tables for 10 minutes again"
I actually tried waiting inside a locker for a while once, and in that particular part of the map there were no vents nearby so the alien would literally just walk in circles around you until you left the room

That's the one part where having the alien always around actually made sense
Otherwise you're in this ginormous space station and somehow the alien manages to always be in close proximity to you without ever knowing you're there

It's how the AI works.
On hard it's a twenty foot leash, on Nightmare it's ten. If you lock-weld it in a room it's teleported to you after two minutes, thus repetition ad nauseum.
Basically use trick one , use trick two, use trick one again, then trick two, hopefully by that time you're in a new area so you don't have to wait for cooldown on the AI ignoring the tricks or the Alien [sp] or two [/sp] has killed somebody so it resets anyway.
Rinse, rote, repeat.
Boring.

The Pred campaign is solid, the other two are crap, especially the Alien one.

AvP2's MP was an unbalanced trainwreck, but the SP is ok.
[QUOTE=27X;50209974]AvP2's MP was an unbalanced trainwreck, but the SP is ok.[/QUOTE]
fuckin hated everyone who chose predator
One hit tracking weapons will do that.
but AVP2 is;nt on steam what about 1 ?
AvP2 won't ever be on steam or any other platform for that matter unless FOX and WB work out a deal. The engine belongs to WB and the characters and setting belong to FOX.
well how is AVP C vs AVP 2010 in terms of MP ? ( and I mean Player Base )
Gold is pretty busy on the weekends, 2010 is a graveyard of cheating and bought it on salers that soon ragequit after meeting said cheaters
Gold is pretty much the most balanced AvP there is outside of modding.

so in other words I should buy AVP C ?
If you're looking for multi, yes.
2010 has a good pred campaign and that's it.

I would love for companies to realize that 50% of the profit is better than 0% of the profit.
AVP1 is like 6$ on GoG anyway

But that's the thing ...
[sp] Once you reach the Hive it is revealed to you that there's more than one Alien on Sevastopol, at no point in the game is it explicitly stated that it's the same alien tracking you around the station, you are led to believe that by your own thoughts and what NPC's / Logs say, sure the Xeno disspears till you 'wake' the hive up but at that point the other Alien/'s could be elsewhere you simply would'nt know. Thats what i chose to believe anyway and it cannot be discredited, the alternative is that the Xeno can move just as fast if not faster than a Tram when you go from one tower to another. And by the time you leave the hive the Alien stops being as 'frightning' obviously i didnt want to be found by it and the screech when it see's you is terrifying, but it was not the same fear as when i first encountered it in medical, you get 'use' to it, at the same time the alien learns from what you do, but if you don't do anything predictable it never catches on to your play style ... i was always able to outsmart it with simple tricks if the situation was dire enough, but 90% of the time i'd just put props and obsticals between myself and the Alien's line of sight and it never fodund me even if i was basically in plain sight if it turned around, never used lockers and only hid under tables, desks and beds sparingly, it was actually a pretty docile nemisis in my playthroughs.[/sp]
Anyway personally i found Alien Isolation to be a bloody fantastic game, at no point did i get bored of it and i want a follow up.

Honestly its one of the rare times where I think a game is too long for what it is and Chapter 10 is exactly the point I remember it becoming a slog. Its just the type of gameplay and stress from it being a survival horror and a good one just really gets to you around that point because you have like 5 hours left to go.
That said its one of the best optimized and looking games of its year and is great overall.
