The Evil Within vs Alien Isolation

[Thatrogueassdiaz]

I let that butcher kill me in the evil within in the opening scene and I realized that this game is going to be Serious.

When I first started the game I died like 6 times bc I thought I could choke him out lolol

avoid hiding in lockers breh. shyt is a death trap. you're better off hiding under a desk, or just behind something. that way you're free to move without having to open and close a door

Hiding b?

Hiding b?

You're right.
Shoot it with your gun.

Alien look too scary for me brehs. I'm not about that life . I never played Outlast past 10 minutes because of that.

I haven't played TEW and haven't beated Alien:Isolation, but it's incredibly dope.
Was hesitant to buy it at first because of the scattered complaints, but I'm glad I did.
The complaints about the game mostly stem from the ADD gamers that want to shoot and run throughout the duration of the story line.
They want to feel bad ass and get their John Rambo on.
They need set action pieces every 15 minutes.
They pick up a stealth game that requires being played as such because for once, your character ISN'T some special snowflake.
The Alien is completely unpredictable and doesn't follow a set pattern behavior.
If you run - which creates too much noise - it finds you, and you die.
You stay in one spot for too long, it sniffs you out, and you die.
You bust your gun at a hostile human, it comes running to the source, and you & everyone involved in the altercations, dies.
Then you add in that the game doesn't save automatically for you.
You have to make it to save points and could lose half an hour of progress even when the save is in progress because you can be killed.
With games like Tomb Raider, you started off as the prey and later become the hunter. Most games follow that pattern.
In Isolation, under no circumstances are you ever the predator, and if you don't play the game accordingly, you'll never get further than two hours in.
Game is a gem amongst the survival horror genre and I hope they disregard clowns like the IGN reviewer who complained about it being too hard or people upset with the fact that they had to play a stealth game stealthily.
I'm glad they took a chance on this one. It was a breath of fresh air.
I'll pick up TEW later on down the line.
I'm focused on Dragon Age and maybe AC Unity next month.

You're right.
Shoot it with your gun.

You either run and hide to set up a sneak attack.. or pop heads with a bullet.. we dont just hide

I wish these horror games would let you use your environment for weaponry. I should be able to pick up a chair and bash a zombies skull already
Rather than hiding.. your telling me the main character in outlast couldnt pick up a pipe and start bashing heads.. we dont even need a gun give me a fukkin brick or a shoe at least

Says who?
You must be referring to TEW because you sure as hell aren't talking about the xenomorph in Isolation.
If you are, then yeah, it's best you play something else and pass on it.

If Alien Isolation is the same run and hide game that Outlast was then there is already 2 reasons i dont need to play it.

1. Outlast was the scariest game ive ever played and beat.. the Xenomorphs look and design dosnt scare me, the spaceship has no creepyness factor to it and i doubt this will be scarier than outlast. Which had a disturbing atmosphere that employed pitch black darkness, Torture chambers, insane mental patients yelling as they chase you and ghosts

2. The concept of run and hide with so much as a slap in a monster's face is annoying

 

[BlackMajik]

I would say TLOU, RE1-4, Silent Hill 1 and 2, and Stutter Island the movie all in one lol. They borrowed a lil bit from all of the classics, which is a good thing for sure.

Yea I watched a walkthrought and that shyt rips off alotta games lol

You haven't played it and from the sound of it, I doubt you've watched so much as a video of it, so your assumptions on the atmosphere or how intimidating the xenomorph is or isn't are moot.
The overwhelming majority people who have played Outlast state they enjoyed Isolation better. I have yet to hear otherwise, even from people on this board.
The game is modeled after the original Alien film and perfectly recreates that environment and makes every interaction or encounter with the alien intense.
If you need to shoot everything that moves or have an aversion to playing unforgiving stealth titles, then yeah, you don't need to play it.
