Alien: Isolation Release Discussion - Reviews & Spoilers

[pirovash88]

Barry already did this in the other topic...do we really need two topics doing the same thing?

Didn't catch that, whooops.

No matter. I think IGN 's review is biased over COLONIAL MARINES. Same with some of the other negative reviews. Its nonsense. This game from a little demo wowed Sega executives in the west and japan...insider opinions was stoked about this game and all the previews have also been on the same page that this is the real deal. Now the reviews are reflecting it also. It was a good call for Hayes to sanction this game. Too bad he's not around anymore...

No worries, I've merged and retitled the topics. This can be our general thread for the game.

What is [NoSpamPlease]?

[Sharky]

Hmm not sure, copied it from Neogaf, they must have a filter on the forum for whatever the site name is...

[ROJM]

Would be a shame if this flops...

Another unfortunate black eye given to the game by Ars Technica. Shame because of the mostly positive hits it has been getting.

I think this is starting to look like who can actually play the game as opposed to who can't. All the complaints sound like they're novice players who haven't the skill to play a game of this ilk...

[Mariano]

dont go to the link, they problably want to call for attention...

[pirovash88]

I really want to play this game, but i don't want to risk the $60.. I think i might wait a bit.

I was very predictable that that was going to happen.

"cold harsh and unforgiving" should be good things in a fucking horror game you'd think. I want the game to make me scared and be tough, not like Bioshock with it's respawn every two meters for free mechanic.

I am going to buy it soon and i will made a little review if Barry of someome else in SEGAbits doesnt do it first.

[JRcade19]

You'd think an unpredictable AI would be good as well...but IGN disagrees lol
