Needs more appreciation.
This game was/is the gaming equivelant of waterboarding. The only thing that possibly makes it even worse is the DLC and the absolutely ridiculous plot. Sure buy this game for historical purposes but add that DLC to your purchase and you are literally out of excuses. I tried the mod a while back and while it does everything it can considering the circumstances, the game is beyond fixing with mods imo.
While new copies of Alien Infestation are approaching 100 dollars.
HD version for Switch please.
LOL I don't know how much you guys know about the Aliens franchise but action/killing xenomorphs are pretty big parts of it. It's not like you can just shove "hiding" and "running away" into an ALIENS game and have fans of the franchise be okay with that. Any true Aliens fan won't want to buy any sequel to Isolation after being screwed over like that.
Fair enough. Do bear in mind that the first Alien movie was simply slasher horror in disguise. An impossibly strong enemy picks off other characters one by one. The only saviors are generally either luck or deus ex machina. As such, Alien Isolation was a superb survival horror game. The guns in that game exist for the purposes of not being used.
Is that true?
I am still pining for that game, I love PSO, I really enjoyed what I played of PSO2 on the Japanese servers but I wouldn't wanna spend money on it unless it was localized.
Such a shame how it all went down.
And let's also never forget the fact that our boy Randy deviated that budget into the development of Borderlands 2 and Duke Nukem Forever lol
Let me guess, Creative Assembly shot themselves in the foot (by releasing the best piece of media the franchise has seen in the last 25 years)?

I actually got it for like £1 at a CEX store to play with my brother.
It's not the worst game i've ever played but it's pretty bad.
Thing is that there's moments where it's kind of cool, mainly the bits were you and the other characters are walking around areas and streets and watching for beeps on the motion tracker as everything's getting more intense. And it's genuinelly neat to see all the environments and stuff from the film.
There was also one cool level, can't remember in great detail, were you get chased by a "charger" or something and it was a pretty fun bit.
But the AI is dreadful and the Alien animation is shocking. The screen tearing especially is absolutely insane. Add to that gameplay is just about "playable". The final boss isn't worth thinking about and that we never got anything close to the gameplay demo is unforgivable.
Anyway if you have a sibling or a friend willing to play at least it's absolutely worth $2.80. Anything Co-Op is really.
You may not believe me but that's actually a genuinelly good level in the game. The Aliens are blind and you have to sneak past them without making a noise.

I think this game is the record holder for how quick a game can drop in price. I've never seen anything like it. (Correct me if I'm wrong)
With that said, I probably paid $5-$7 for it years ago. Haven't played it lol

You gotta be more observant like my friend Saoshyant here.
If I was the CEO of the company I wouldn't have spelled the product name wrong :P. Or used an unauthorized shot of the actual candy bar, or forgotten the registered trademark ®. Lol.
O genuinely liked the OG PS3 version...I only played the campaign once, on the harder difficulty present, and i had plenty of fun with it. Aliens crawled in walls and ceilings, came at me from all sides, clipped through aforementioned a walls and ceilings. Good times were had by all. It wasn't the prettiest, but i could look past its outer layer to the glitchy but fun game.
The co op was a blast though, hands down. As was the vs mp. Those modes really were the star of the show.

All that money and time and work in development to create this pile of crap was worth it to create this gif. I love this gif. It always makes me laugh.
Okay maybe not worth it to them, but worth it to me.
I had fun with the game for 4 hours, but then I reached a section where there was a room with a turret I think where I couldn't find the exit.
I got bored and dropped the game for good
It was a 2 dollars gift from a friend so I actually had a positive impression of the game, even though is an incredible pretty low bar that I'm reviewing it

Denial is one of the most powerful and toxic human emotions. I was desperate to get even the smallest enjoyment from the game no matter what and 100 hours later, it never came.
It was merely a play on "Randy Pitchford is that you?" from earlier in the thread.
Damnit without fully reading the title I thought this thread was about Alien Isolation at first a game I have yet to play but would surely shoot myself for missing at the low low price of $2.95...then in my split second realization that this wasn't the case I thought AVP remaster? But no...it had to be this fucking train wreck lol
It's not about the money, it's about the time. With so many other games out there, including good Alien games, there's no reason for anyone to waste a single hour of their life on this trash.
The thing most people don't realize is that a majority of development wasn't even Gearbox. It was farmed to a studio called TimeGate. I think Gearbox just produced. So given that I don't think Randy *could* legally fess up to gamers or risk Sega coming after them.
