Finally finished Alien Isolation. Good premise, well made, very faithful to the spirit of the first film. With that said, it's way longer than it needs to be, and the ramping up of stakes and threat as it progresses gets a bit ridiculous after a while. A space station infested with a single Xenomorph is a good, simple concept. Escalating beyond that isn't really necessary, but I guess they had to pad it out to a AAA run time.
@moth_ball@eal I've received reports of armed attacks on shipments, there's not enough pasta to go around and the wops are starting to get desperate. Your turn.
The further into Alien Isolation I play, the more I realize the devs had a mile-wide sadistic streak. Some of the shit that happens in this game is just wantonly cruel.
@xianc78@gabriel I think it'd work better if you just made it a freelance food delivery coordination system. Customers making open offers for other people to go get takeout on their behalf. Wouldn't even need restaurants to know about it.
My only regret with the Alien Isolation stream last Saturday was that the game doesn't really get into full swing until the 5 hour mark. Everything up to then is introductory, but once you get to the core gameplay of evade/hide/rig traps with that fucking Alien creeping around everywhere, the game is at its very best.
I am also happy to report that with some tinkering, I got Shadows of Doubt to run without a gazillion crashes in Proton again. So June 8th's "Pride Month Celebration" Stream will definitely be "Shadows of Doubt: The Case of the Non-Binary Basher".
