Alien blackout



Started playing AI again tonight. Well, started but didn't last long. I forgot how utterly shit scary it is. I can't even recall feeling that sort of rush ever in everyday life.
I'd hope you never get that kind of rush in every day life :lol:

otherwise i'd be dead at 45 of a heart attack.

I've played "scary games", jump scares get you, but they are repetitive and timed.

Alien isolation was true tension... it's aged a little, the AI sometimes does weird things but overall a quality game.

The scenery, the music. Play it on hard with the lights out and a headset and my god...... crawling your way to victory.

I remember the first time I played and there's a bit where loads of humans come in and I couldn't get passed. Come up with the idea of shooting my revolver off a load of times from a hiding spot and letting the alien do the work for me.

Felt like f***ing einstein :cool:

Couldn't have put it better myself. In a way the game helped me cope with stressful situations in life because they weren't stressful in comparison to being stalked by a massive Xenomorph.

:lol: Yeah that's a good way to look at life's problems..... I've got a grand car insurance bill due next month but.... Amanda Ripley is having a worse day
 
Isolation is incredible. I hate overly long games but I was disappointed when this one ended. Played it on hard from the start as well. Hardcore. :cool:
I usually go for normal on games but the fact that they pointed out this it the way it is meant to be played made me choose the same.


I remember checking the achievements, one of them was no deaths in a playthrough....... how I laughed thinking if I was careful enough surely I could do that.

Skip to level 17.... 74 flameflower fuel and 1 molotov.

I died about 8 times, including 1 where the alien followed me into a vent. Those boxers are on a landfill now.
