Hey gang!
This is old news by now but I thought I'd just throw it out there. Has anyone played through, or at least attempted to play, Alien: Isolation? I've only just managed to finish the main campaign and I've got to say, it was a ride well worth taking. I did run a brief stream of me playing the now notorious "Medical Bay Area" of the game and much to the hilarity of the people watching, and guiding me with the odd tip or two when I got lost, I think it was enjoyed.
Given the general concensus of... that other Aliens game... I have to say this is a game that I found most enjoyable when it was punishing me for not thinking things through. The number of times I got NOM'd by the alien was embarrassing but the tension created by sulking around praying that this sodding thing won't suddenly 180 on you as you sneaking past the door it had just entered was palpable. And knowing that the alien was programmed to be "unpredictable" brought me NO comfort whatsoever! (I doubt it was meant to but still...). I have to say that this has been the first game in a long time that has genuinely snagged and withheld my attention unlike so many others that seem more like fleeting fancies. I wanna do some more streams on this, despite having finished the game, because I loved the creepy atmosphere and the tension the game created.
But, anyway, I ramble. Has anyone else had the gaul to give this one a go? Let's here your stories here...
