Hehehe, it happened to me when I thought I was clever and tried to reroute power to different sections, only to hear a synthetic say "TUT. TUT. TUT." and suddenly choke me.

no the mouse at least doesn't know what happens next. you know that you're going to be slowly eaten and/or face raped. wait scratch number two, there are no facehuggers.

It simply murders you, so far I've seen impalement by tail or a sloppy kiss.

IGN posted another video defending their score. I would have rather them state "This is not my type of game, being repeatedly killed by an invincible monster does not do it for me."

Seems more honest that going with, "Nope, I am right for these "objective" (but really subjective) reasons."

So he must of hated amnesia.

Its the point of the fething game.

Fighting against your monsters with heavy weaponry does not make the game better. (Dead space 3)

Horror games are about disempowerment its the bloody point of them, if you are looking for a game about empowerment play call of duty or something. Because horror games have never EVER been about empowerment.

oh i miss avp 2010. sigh such seet memries o silently closing in for the kill, lining it up just right so you get the first guy while the other one isn;t looking, then take them both out by ripping their throates out and or kissing them goodnight. funtime, fun ti- wait did anyone else hear that hiss? I'l be back guys I gotta go walk into this really dark room because i heard a hiss.

That IGN review was a joke. Before I even read the comments section I figured the guy must be a butthurt CoD fanatic that got upset that he couldn't noscope his way through the game. He even complained the game was "too long". What? Too long? When did that become a thing? Oh yeah, CoD fanatic who is used to beating the campaign in 5 hours...

And dude, if you put the game on hard, it's gonna be HARD. Deal with it, or restart on easy.

I had to do that sometimes. I sometimes turn on the hardest difficulty. The more easier the game felt, the more I bumped up the difficulty. And thus the more enjoyment I had.

Which is fine.

But playing on "hard" and complaining that the game is too hard is about as idiotic as setting your junk on fire then complaining that your sack hurts.

Remember kids, you can't spell ignorance without IGN.

Yeah I suppose my critique is forgetting that its horror survival.
Been playing too much bf4 of late =/

My critic is that the alien is vibrates between scary and annoying.

The save point system does bring frustration with it when you die after going without one for quite a while, or finally manage to get gak done after hiding for a while and then dying. Bleh.

Oh one time I went to a save station, saved and everything. Then when I turned around, the alien was right there. It was so scary. I had to scramble under a table well the alien paced around the room.

Tables are hilarious spots to hide under, so far they are way more reliable than cabinets for me. Several times I had it stomp past me as I pissed myself in fear hoping it wouldn't spot me.

I've got to mission 6, spoilers if your Not there yet

I'm about 2 hours in. Not really digging it so far. Seems very tedious. Maybe I just don't like this gametype, or my propensity for getting lost gives me a insurmountable handicap.

You would hate most games like that XD.

Have you see the robots yet? The game is a slow start.

No, no robots yet. I just got to where I meet up with Axl, I think his name is (orange jacket guy with a pistol), and we got some stuff from his hiding spot.

Oh you haven't even started yet. It's a slow start. It gets better if you give it time.

Wait until you and the Xenomorph start playing hide and seek. Which will be soon enough.

What is the easiest way to kill a Working Joe (if needed)? Still early days for me in the game, busy running around the communication tower now.

I prefer to avoid the Joes for now, they are quite a bitch to take down. It takes a lot of shots to drop one and fighting them in melee isn't easy either.

Clobbered a damaged one in the face, so that achievement done.

Another important safety tip learnt the hard way. Fluid dripping from ceiling vent your under = bad.

Did you have a chance to put some on your fingers, and say "what the hell is this junk?" before getting pulled up into said vent?

Damn you guys have just cost me a lot of money, from some of these descriptions of only being able to play for an hour at a time for the sake of underwear changes, it's completely sold it to me and now I'm getting the PS4.

drip. drip. drip the sound was eerie, probably coming from a leaking coolant or something. jone looked left to right, searching for the source of the annoying sound. drip. drip. drip. damn that really was scary, here he was, trapped on a space station with other people who wanted him dead, malfunctioning synthetics and that.... thing. and here he was getting jumpy about a coolant leak. drip. drip. drip. jone took another step forward, listening carefully for any sound that might have been.... it. get it together jone, get it together. you're gonna survive, gonna survive. one had no plans of being eaten by that damned monster or shot by some trigger happy ass hat. drip. drip. oh come on, jone felt the drops hit his head. really? he'd stood straight underneath the leak, surely he would have seen the leak before. drip drip....drip drip drip wait... was, was that out of sequence. yeah, it was. jone's pupils dilated as he realised the only thing that could mean. he began to tremor all over, and he slowly tilted his head up. fether. you got me. the last thing jone saw, was the great living shadow that was the xenomorph open its mouth, and his last thought was wondering if that secnd set of teeth did anything.
drip. drip. drip. drip. jone's blood dripped through the floor grating, pooling wit the coolant already there.


MY BOREDOM HAST COME FORTH.

Sadly no. However, that whole experience went exactly as follows. Down to the expletive.

Tip don't summon the alien with the noisemaker to do your dirty work for you it makes the thing go beserk.

Not doing that again.

Thanks for the tip!

Just found the pipe bomb schematic, if I use this item in a particularly cunning way against Mr Dribbles, will he feth off from the area I'm cowering in? Been hiding like a little girl for the last 2 hours. Would love to leave the medical center soon. Preferably not in somethings GI tract...
