This game is too fucking scary dude
it's not fun it's making me stressed.

Then stop playing. Just walk away, nigga.

>>715984246
But I payed for it.
I'm already 13 hours in I can't refund it.

it's the best horror game of all time honestly. It does so well in actually making you feel vulnerable and terrified.

Also, the setting is just perfect and the way they made all the assets fit within the original Alien movie is so fucking good, such a great atmosphere. That part where you go through the reactor into the hive was edge of my seat shit, I was so fucking terrified the first time I played the game going through there and the facehuggers scurrying around always got me.

My only real criticism of the game is the NPC AI for humans is pretty damn garbage. The Alien and the working joes was good though.

I bought it for my Steam deck almost 2 years ago, haven't played it yet because I don't want to end up throwing my steam deck across the room

>>715984723
Im not the only one that baited the Alien into killing this NPC, right?

thoughts on xussy?

>>715985047
Yeah....I did that too
I got a lot of NPCs killed due to me alerting the alien on purpose.

What are you guys looking forward to in a sequel?

I hope they have a better stealth system, sneaking around and just hiding is very simple, I hope there's more ways to hide, more ways to sneak, more distractions you can do. I love Isolation but the main thing about it was the Alien was always hounding you so much and it was hard to keep it endlessly distracted so I could just explore around a bit more.

>>715984178 (OP)
Time to toughen up buttercup.

>>715984178 (OP)
Play it on the easiest difficulty to make it less stressful. And if that's too much maybe install some mod to make it even more baby-like.

>>715984178 (OP)
lol you are a pussy

>>715985412
it's just a human woman with extra bits stuck on

>>715985605
Main thing I'm wondering about is how they'll have Working Joes in the sequel?
I mean maybe they won't show up but they are one of the main features of Isolation. I'd be shocked if they don't appear in the sequel
My only question is how? since the company is bankrupt they shouldn't exist anymore.

>>715984178 (OP)
>>715984246
JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES NIGGA XD

>>715986030
they probably won't use them at all.
My question is what kind of setting are they going to use for the sequel?

They could keep it on a space station I guess, but it's already been done. They could do it on a large space ship I guess, or just set it on a planet / colony in which the aliens are loose on. Genuinely curious what exactly the game is going to be like too, if they are going to use Amanda Ripley again or a new protagonist.

>>715985434
One thing I loved is going back to previous areas after escaping from Marlows ship. Random NPCs, Joes etc were still spawning randomly, it was fun hiding and seeing humans try to fight the Joes and always alerting the Alien to their location.

>>715984178 (OP)
I really tried to be scared by it but the AI is so bizzarely garbage that I couldn't take it seriously after the fifth time the monster gets stuck on the corner of a desk.

>>715987039
I want them to do a colony next.

>>715987039
Make it like Alien 3!
Put it on a prison planet. make an Alien 3 that's actually kino that you can play.

>>715984178 (OP)
Skill issue.

>>715985605
Slamming a door on the ayy not just letting it telefrag you in response or having it sprint at you on loading

>>715984906
h-hot

>>715984178 (OP)
>>715984723
its even better with the VR mod. Although they never got around to combining it with the anti-aliasing mod as what with came with the original game is jaggy as fuck

First time I used the VR version I sat for a solid minute in medical in a locker just listening and watching the xeno stomping around. I also discovered that if you fuck around too long when waiting for the tram during the intro, the xeno will actually drop into the area from the vents

>>715985605
them making a change of environment and setting the game into some giger biomechanica world. the 80s sci-fi of alien 1 and aliens is overdone to shit

>>715984178 (OP)
The biggest problem with the game is that it is way too easy even in the highest difficulty.

>>715984906
xenussy

>>715984178 (OP)
Are you playing it in VR? It's fucking terrifying in VR

>>715991525
The Derelict Ship is jawdropping in VR

>>715985605
>hard to keep it endlessly distracted so I could just explore around a bit more
I'm not a completionist so it didn't bother me but yeah how the fuck are you meant to get all the collectables in this game? You're being constantly hunted.

>>715984178 (OP)
Overstays it's welcome and the alien got used to the flamethrower after 3 bursts which just made it tedious to get through some areas. After a certain point they stop being scaring and are just annoyances preventing you from finishing a game that should have been done 4 hours from the actual finish.
Also the AI is trash, leashed to you and scripted depending on where you go/enter.
>scripted to teleport behind you if you go through certain doors
>scripted to ignore noise buzzers if you triggering said zones
>scripted to ignore other humans in favor of you, hiding completely silent in a corner, instead of the 3 dudes with guns shooting/shouting
>meme difficulty in the fact that you have limited uses of your consumables and weapons, not because of resource, but because the alien just starts ignoring them
etc

>>715984178 (OP)
Same. I just don't enjoy horrors games where I can't fight back properly. Like I really loved other Alien games but this and Bunker just makes me nope out of the game

>>715991525
There's a new VR mod that adds 6DOF hand tracking, but yeah there's still no anti alising fix

literally just kneel down the entire game so its quieter, that got me through Nightmare Mode

there is only one hard level if you do this where theres loads of androids but you can cheese it with saves and luck

>>715992234
you fell for the meme, it's best to actually just walk everywhere, usually right behind the alien as it does it's patrol around you

>>715992328
if you do that it will eat you. I got laid off so have sunk a lot of time into this game

I'm talking from experience, you from I don't know what probably gay butt stuff

>>715992543
No, it's unironically the best way to play, there's no need to hide from the scripted alien who teleports, just walk behind it and it will eventually patrol the area where you need to pass, at which point you can sprint because he's scripted to come out of a vent no matter what.

>>715984178 (OP)
This video game is bullshit. there's no way the alien xenomorphs made it through the reactor purge.

>>715984178 (OP)
This is a rare example of a game that was actually too long. 25-33% should have been trimmed off

>>715991634
Best reply so far. The game is indeed WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too but easy even in nightmare mode and my biggest fear is that Alien 2 will also be too easy even on the highest difficulties.

How the fuck do you get through medical?
I was stuck on that section for fucking hours and I was both scared and pissed off.
I kept dying and I made no progression dude. just stuck in a locker hoping the Xeno would fuck off.

>>715985605
It made no money, why would it have a sequel

>>715991634
>the biggest problem with the game is that it is way too easy even in the highest difficulty.
You must be a gaming God since I died a million times on this game.

>>715987050
fuck i didn't knew that, a 4th run it is then lmao

>>715993382
Some areas require to rotate between cover if it goes up the vent. And I am disappointed you don't craft lures when you really feel you cannot avoid the alien. They are amazing gadgets.

>>715993564
A sequel was announced during it's 10 year anniversary

>>715992810

>>715993650
>Use gadgets
I only ever used to tracker. I never knew when to use the other shit.

>>715991525
I wish more stripped down vr games in the style of the mother vr mod had been made. immersive sim type adventure game with occasional action, lock x axis turning to mouse and map the cursor to head tracking. you get the visual tour de force of vr with no fluff or annoyances.

>>715993908
just craft other shit where you can craft medkits too. you deprive yourself of the fun of firebombs and especially pipebombs that can blow the working jerrys which otherwise only die by the boltgun or environmental traps. might take 2 though.

>You can't shoot and kill the Alien because ughhhhh...we said so!
Bullshit game.

>>715984178 (OP)
>see humans
>throw noisemaker
Nothing personal.

>>715985605
Throw multiple xenos in an area, give me a pulse rifle with enough ammo to kill one or two of them, and then crank the AI up on whoever is left.

how does it not stop being scary for you since you eventually learn the quirks of the alien AI and you just respawn when you die?

check out aliens dark descent if you want more alien

>>715986030
the role of the working joe is essential, whether or not they use them specifically. you need a lower stakes enemy that the player can have prolonged encounters with.

>>715994273
play in vr.

>>715985605
I hope it's based on the prequels.

Survivor modes and the Nostromo dlc are incredible but nobody ever talks about them

>>715984723
>it's the best horror game of all time honestly
good morning saar

>>715993620
I am atrocious on games like Counter Strike so I doubt it.

It is all about paying close attention to the sound of the alien.

>>715994423

Humans would be nice.

>>715994670
God no

>>715994132
Like, have you seen the movie? I guess it only dies in molten steel and some world war 3 tier gasses.

>>715994670
>I hope it's based on the prequels.
the space jockey is there but inactive

>>715994840
understandable reaction, whilst my beef with them is how they fucked up the visuals of the ships in them. Romulus wasn't complete trash, it actually had old tech again. Prometheus was too mid. the engineers still were a nice touch.

>>715994935
I've seen Aliens and they die in their dozens there.

>>715995219
you don't have Predator tech weapons anon, this is not a power fantasy.

>>715995219
Pulse rifles and smartguns in Aliens fired armor-piercing explosive rounds. That shit would kill anything instantly. Regular firearms are much weaker by comparison.

>>715985915
The actual xenomorph in the movie is just a regular man with extra bits stuck on

>>715992634
broseph it will eat you I guarantee it

>>715994670
Why? Prometheus was the worst thing to happen to the franchise? Do you hate Alien?

Exactly how much of the original Alien Isolation team is working on the sequel? its been a decade, there cant be many of them still working there right?

>>715992810
you're right, the gameplay stops evolving

nintendo would never

>>715984178 (OP)
don't be such a pussy

>>715994714
can we talk about the dlc situation?

>>715994038
dont even need to make dedicated things a tiny base might buy. Just convert regular flatties to run with full 3d and adjusted UI elements so they are usable in VR.

currently trying to make it a separate thing, in addition to everybody thinking it has to have motion control for a VR port, is forcing it into a niche. When the headset itself is a straight up upgrade to any monitor that feels like staring into the gameworld through a tiny little window

Vast majority of my HMD usage I get is by converting flats to VR. Like
>fear 1 (vorpx)
>trepang 2 (UEVR)
>RE engine resident evils (dedicated mods)
>subnautica (native VR with must have mod to make it usable)
>alien isolation (dedicated mod)
>Dead space series (vorpx)
>cp77 (vorpx)
>HL2 set (dedicated mod)
>system shock remake (UEVR)
>dishonored 1 (vorpx)
>deus ex HR and MD (vorpx)
>ABZU (UEVR)
etc etc etc

im fucking high rn is this game too scary to play high?

>>715997372
I nearly shit myself while sober on my first playthrough, doing it high seems like a great way to give yourself a heart attack inducing bad trip.

>>715997372
DUDE...

an alien just flew over my house

>>715994831
we already had human enemys
>>715994423
I got tired of the working Joe's very quickly I wouldn't mind sections of quiet puzzle solving with the thought of the alien in the back of your mind

>>715987182
>This
considering the shilling about "the most advanced AI in Horror Games"
It's fkn braindead and constantly teleports around.
Even worse is the scripted shit...
You can ltrl bait the alien into a room early on in medical and lock the door behind it.
After the AI realizes it cant leave, it gets teleported and reset...

I just cant take an AI seriously, if it can get stuck in a loop, walking around a fkn pool table...

>>715993564
alien romulus was a big hit which made WB realise the franchise has more juice in it so they greenlit a sequel to isolation
