    Well that sounds perfect :P


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,685 ✭✭✭✭BlitzKrieg


    No!


    F*ck you alien

    B*tch jumped me just after I saved, a moment of relief turned into sheer panic


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,292 ✭✭✭SouthTippBass


    Really looking forward to playing this, but need to burn out on Destiny first. Might pick this up around Christmas time.


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,685 ✭✭✭✭BlitzKrieg


    I'm beginning to understand the negative reviews. At points it's just unrelenting. You do partially wish for a quicksave crutch just so you can take a chance

    Marko are you at the same spot I am at
    medical
    ?


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,685 ✭✭✭✭BlitzKrieg


    will have a little video up tonight of some of my deaths.

    spoiler free. It's all literally the same 10 minute space where I've been murdered mercilessly over and over.

    Only just noticed watching through the edited video that I passed over a save point I was so terrified that I didnt notice it's beeping.


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,685 ✭✭✭✭BlitzKrieg




    As promised.

    nope

    nope

    nope

    Watching that video, this really looks like my kind of game. That its based on Alien is a bonus :D

    I dont know, was tempted to try the nostromo pack on medium just to see the difference, already tried it on hard and in some ways its even worse then the main game for sheer up **** creek without paddle feels.

    Congratulations. I now want this game. Looks class.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,409 ✭✭✭✭gimli2112


    Pretty terrifying stuff. Will not be buying. Looks really good but it would just stress me out.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,160 ✭✭✭tok9


    I laughed so much when you threw the noise maker off the counter.

    I'm half tempted to livestream this if I get it today.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,695 ✭✭✭Corvo


    Wont be picking this up until I pick up the XO4's.

    And maybe some pampers.

    back at it now.

    seems in the middle of the day that segment is a tad easier (also with a better understanding of where save points are etc) Still took best part of an hour to go about a 100ms in total

    but I thought I'd get a bit of downtime after to solve a puzzle or something

    *nope*

    f*ck you says alien isolation

    this b*tch is stuck with you.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,160 ✭✭✭tok9


    Stop it... you're making me very jealous that I don't have it yet.

    Looks like I won't be getting my copy from SimplyGames today. Hopefully it'll be here tomorrow.

    I need help, just got the game and installed update. But cannot download the crew expandable dlc. Tried the code multiple time uppercase and lower case will not work. What do i do


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,685 ✭✭✭✭BlitzKrieg


    I didn't have to enter codes as is bought it through steam so I can't help you there

    The head says wait and put it on the Christmas list as it might have some sort of special edition by then.

    The heart says tear into gamestop, punch yerman in the side of the head (he's a prick) and buy it.

    The audio & music design are fantastic. Everything is there to simply **** with your head.

    The voice acting is superb too to be honest as well the general acting and direction of the cutscenes. The characters are speaking to each other like actual human beings which is rare in games tbh.

    I played more of it on my friends family-shared account. Got balls deep into it but am I the only one not exactly scared of it a whole lot? I had a few butt-hole clenching tense moments when sneaking right past some synthetics and such but I haven't exactly felt fear or horror but maybe that just comes with having played lots of horror.

    Only been killed by the alien twice so far. Once was out-of-nowhere vent drop kill on me, had no chance.

    The other was actually because of the game! I was hiding in a locker and the alien got near so I knew from earlier to hold down S and RMB to hold breath and lean back.

    Just as it was trying to sniff me out, the same tutorial message from a while back comes up AGAIN for no reason saying "Press and hold S" which obviously in the tense moment I just obeyed outright. I lifted my finger off S to press it again but doing so reset my leaning and I peeked right at the damn Alien so naturally it ripped my face out of the locker. T-thanks never-ending tutorials... big help there. Also there's a constant "Hold R to use" message in bottom left of the screen that just doesn't go away no matter how many hours I've played.

    This tutorial gets rid of the unskippable intros. Handy

    If you havnt reached the hospital then you have not actually properly faced the alien.
