It gets better.
Of course I don't own so I have no clue, but Seegson stuff sounds like an interesting and worthy addition to the Alien lore.

Boy, you guys, I got disappointed by Alien: Isolation. I was expecting Amnesia with Alien, even brought it to a horror night with friends.
The first half hour was nothing and the next was a shitty stealth game avoiding HUMANS.
We gave up after that.
I STILL haven't seen the Alien once!
And the game had nauseating motion blur whenever I turned the camera.
I wonder what Pat and the others will have to say about it.
A slow start? IN A HORROR GAME!?

It get's better, you haven't even met the alien yet! You don't have the motion tracker either, right? That shit is so cool.
Good luck.

Isn't seeing the Alien a bad thing and means almost certain death?
I watch the opening so much it's not even funny

So how many you guys eaten proper Japanese ramen? I really want to try it
That is very true, mind you I did love me some AVP2 on PC, that game was great fun, but as a more movie-like game, Isolation seems like that one I've been waiting for.
It's a slow burn and it picks up shortly after you avoid those humans for the first few times. Too bad it sucks you're playing on PS4 where you presumably can't turn off the motion blur.Boy, you guys, I got disappointed by Alien: Isolation.

They're okay. What puts them over the top, is the always seem to get in one sketch that really hits it out of the park. I'd describe it like their show is 7, with perfect 10 jokes every now and then.
Yeah, but the Best Friends usually do a trailer on their own channel...
Oh that's been on my phone for a while now lol. Should have clarified that too.
Normally motion blur doesn't bother me at all, I'm not one that gets motion sickness or stuff like that. But this game? Oof, it's bad. Maybe it was the TV, I'll give it another go on mine later tonight.

You're not Japanese so it's still not proper Japanese ramen, you baka-gaijin.

I got invited to a Japanese restaurant and want to deviate from my usual order of Spicy Tuna and give Ramen a try

Ok watching the machinima video where they're fucking with samuel and I can definitely see how you can get nauseated
bleh

If you didn't appreciate the first movie then you won't appreciate the game, the entire slow startup is part of the Alien charm.
From what I saw this is exactly what I want, I want to walk around and explore and then experience shit slowly going bad and building up to the worse scenario,.

Don't give up, skeleton.
Everyone has quirks in their writing. Don't be pessimistic, though.

I think he meant he hasn't seen one Alien in the game.
Well yeah, if it's a slow build up then it's going to take time for the alien to appear. It took a long time for the Alien to appear in the movie as well

Cryme Tyme is my shit!
I can't help but wonder why Jay-Z hasn't done a game yet. He's the biggest hip hop artist in the world, but 50 gets two decent games before Jay does?

I would've really liked to have the SA-X in. There's really not much of a roster to pick from for Metroid characters though, unfortunately.

I think calling Bulletproof decent is REALLY fucking stretching it.
But a Jay-Z game could be interesting. Hell, there should be more artists or music groups that have games staring them.
Give me my JAM Project character action game.
It says a lot when the two reps are Samus and Samus.

Wtf did they do to her face?
Also Matt is throwing down in the lates Cryme Tyme. Wonder if it was on the fly or just a song I don't know. Props either way.

They should add in Adam. His moves are telling you you can't use your specials, and his final smash he sends you to a lava room without allowing fire protection
Or we can play as The Baby.

Well yeah but just because it's like that in the movie, it doesn't necessarily make it okay in a video game.
It's maybe an hour or two until you first meet it and then it's constantly there for the rest of the game, and the game is pretty damn long. I have 7 hours logged and I'm not even halfway through.

Its also not okay for it to start throwing scares at you 10 minutes in.
Outlast did that and outlast had some of the worst pacing I have seen in a horror game.
RecursiveFault

It would've been fine if the scares had any weight to them, I prefer the slow build in something like SH, but it's not wrong to start with a spike and then ease you in. Though I don't think Outlast did it well it was OK.
Alien is intending to emulate the movie, not having the alien early on is in line with it's goals.

Yah it was bad, not as decent as Blood in the Sand.
Def Jam cross Aki Systems was godly.
There's possibilities out there for Hip Hop game crossovers.

Oh I agree. I'm just saying that line of thinking of it worked in one medium so it works in another isn't the best to have.

But yeah, Adam would also be a hype AT for that.
I just want my Ridleys
The problem with it in Alien: Isolation is it throws you a couple stealth encounters that aren't representative of the rest of the game before the alien is introduced, it's just the non-alien enemies and you instead of being a mixture of the following two scenarios:
you and the alien in an area, with it constantly jumping in and out of the air ducts
you, the alien, and a third party, making the alien somewhat unpredictable because you'll never know when it'll go after one of the other people in the area

Woolie as Jason because why not, also stolen from the reddit

Oh definitely. All the stuff devs lift from Film as a medium really hurts some games. Just because games are close to films in terms of content, aping their content can hurt more than it helps.
Lots of Woolie being pushed for summerslam lately. Reminds me of Woolsworth's stone mask/predator mask.

Well as I said in my previous post Alien: Isolation isn't a true slow burn the way the movie is because it introduces stealth encounters with the other parties aboard the space station before the alien is introduced and it's not representative of the rest of the gameplay experience where you're balancing avoiding the alien and them, or just you avoiding the alien. In that regard, it should have been more like the movie. It could have still introduced the other parties via a cutscene or something, but not have had you do stealth encounters with them until the alien is also introduced. The game is a blast once everything comes together like that, though. You also get most of the full aresneal about 1/4 of the way through the game except for one specific weapon.
It's beautiful...

I have no clue about Naruto but, is it even conceivable for it to end in a logical way? What I mean is, is there just so much going that it could end in a "I have to go now, my planet needs me." way to avoid dealing with plotlines?
