    that's basically the when the game is at it's peak. the moments where he alien is rushing at you are terrifying, but those moments where you know it's there, and have to deal with something on the side, taking your eyes away from the creature that one shots you on sight, and having to pray that it doesn't come round that corner while you handle whatever has you between a rock and a hard place, are the height of tension.

    I think you’ve inspired me to make my own retrospective on this game. It’s a game that’s so incredibly special to me personally, and this video is amazing.

      You should! I’ve done this for both Alien and Firewatch now. It’s very therapeutic to analyze something you’re already passionate about.

    1:19:30 there's actually exactly this scenario late in the game. Looked down and saw one crawling through the side grate next to me after finishing a space walk. Heart palpitations and hiding ensued

      Randomly got a notification for this comment on my phone. Later in the video I bring up the same thing again Super cool and scary for sure that first time. I just hoped for less scripted versions of it!

    28:55 finding the blueprints early is something a lot of players actually fail to do. Blueprints have multiple different spawn locations so that if a player misses one of the earlier locations, they can still find one of the later ones. A lot of players I've seen missed the first medkit blueprint you found for example. So, the pacing of blueprints will vary from one player to another.

      That’s a good way to look at it. Easy to forget people don’t have those locations partially memorized. Thanks for stopping by!

      @@fallinghurts i hope they keep the same recipe, another scenario perhaps, but i think if they keep this same formula it will be a hit
      CA could also make, if possible, an 'alien isolation' game having john carpenters 'the thing' theme, it would be amazing

    The comics exists as a possible sequel hope CA follow that which is somewhat of a shoot em up which may be unfortunate for some but great for most cause one we get to have a proper aliens game and 2 the story is gonna continue that hopefully has more lore and depth added a sequel that can hold it’s own candle to the likes of aliens terminator 2 and other great sequels in film and games

    What did you think about Romulus haven’t seen it yet. My favorite is aliens. Love the marines

    • @fallinghurts
      @fallinghurts  Месяц назад

      I liked Romulus a lot. A good story with great characters and pretty good tense sequences. My only major complaint was they used CGI to have a dead actor in the movie and while they say they had permission it was unnecessary and quite frankly it looked ugly. If I had to give a number score.. 7? 7.5?

      @DRAGONSSCREAM it’s even worse when you realize that in the timeline he says it BEFORE Ripley. It wasn’t as bad for me as most people, but still idk what the point was

    I admit, I have a love hate relationship with this game. Some parts flow so smoothly while other parts are (possibly) more annoying than getting teeth pulled with no anaesthetic.

    • @fallinghurts
      @fallinghurts  Месяц назад

      I love the imagery LMAO. I get that. I also acknowledge that being an alien fan puts me at a huge bias. Though, I’m sure I know those exact sections.

      @@fallinghurts grew up watching the Alien movies, all of them.
      It is hard to really fall in love with Alien Isolation's play styles, after having played Alien vs Predator 2.
      As a marine (in AVPS) you automatically have a motion senor in the bottom left of the HUD, in isolation you have to equip it and pull it out and avoid being heard.
      I know it is only a small thing but it still bugged me.
      The remake of Alien vs predator is worse than Alien Isolation. Control prompts everywhere that break immersion and the faction balance is wacky.
      But they are all still part of the alien universe and so I love them even if they are annoying to complete.
      Also, I really enjoyed your video essay and subscribed to catch any future uploads.

    Look, what happened on Sevastopol is sad. It's a tragedy, no doubt. But I mean... it wasn't a Wey-Yu facility. Right? Like.
    Those people CHOSE to work for an inferior company. They got what they paid for, right? You'd NEVER see something like this happening on a proper Weyland-Yutani facility. We're building better worlds!
    The Company cares about us, the working men and women! That's what all the signs say, at least!
