    Default Alien : Isolation

    So, it's out.

    Haven't got it myself, probably won't until November.

    But how pants fillingly scary is it? Scale of 1-10 folks, with 1 being 'little Tommy Squeaker', and 10 being 'Dear God, the humanity. It's up the walls and everything. We'd be better off burning it down and rebuilding'

    Go!

    Played a bit last night, I'd say 7.5? It's really good from what I've played, only had two encounters with the alien which were both pretty scary.

    Ignore reviews by fanboys who don't know the difference between Alien and Aliens, apparently a lot of the negative reviews are from cretins expecting a better version of Colonial Marines.

    Ask not the EldarGal a question, for she will give you three answers, all of which are puns and terrifying to know. Back off man, I'm a feminist. Ia! Ia! Gloppal Snode!

    Pffrt.

    Alien was the original (if not, definitely the best) SciFi survival horror.

    Getting good feedback on Facebook (DD Gaming - they're the future yo!), with one person saying it goes all the way to 15 out of 20, full on redefining the poopometer in the process!

    I'd give it 8 out of 10 overall? Maybe 8.5. Happy with the story so far, nice and diverse range of characters and totes creepy.

    However the process of robo-insemination is far too complex for the human mind!

    Yep the one that managed to recreate the setting of Aliens brilliantly but failed at everything else like gameplay, AI, themes consistent with teh film etc.

    A bit of a necro post, Been watching some people play it online, Some time on, people's reviews of it? Seems a bit like a jump-scare type game and I will be honest, im a wimp for that stuff, is that what its mainly about?
