Finally finished Alien Isolation. A very good game in many ways but those awful quick time events.
The ending is a bit of a let down too.
Looks like someone too a leaf our of the Prometheus book by not actually ending the story and leaving stuff for a sequel that may never happen.
I’m away for my summer break soon so as a palette cleanser I’ve fired up the Orange Box and started playing Portal 1. The difficulty gradient on that game is a bit abrupt. It’s a load of fun still though.

Really hoping Creative Assembly makes more ALIEN series games. Already was a huge fan of their TOTAL WAR games and glad they did it right. Still don’t know if I’d want to play ALIENS: Colonial Marines.

I’ve got it but it might be too soon after battling one (…) unstobbable beast to enter into a badly received war with many squishable ones.

It was very poorly received too.

Don’t.

Far too numerous glitches and would only want to play cause Michael Biehn as Cpl. Dwayne Hicks is back. I bet Oliver Harper on his Let’s Play channel on YouTube has already covered it.
Honestly, I’d prefer if more of the Dark Horse Comics ALIENS and PREDATOR mini-series were adapted into games. Hell, I still highly consider ALIENS versus PREDATOR 2 + Primal Hunt to be excellent in its storytelling (Still have to use the 1920x1080 fix in the ini file.) It weaves the storyline through all three species too. Wish there were enhanced remakes of the first two ALIENS versus PREDATOR PC games using current graphics. But I digress.
Also want to play PREDATOR: Concrete Jungle but it’s a bit glitchy on PCSX2. Maybe the next ALIENS versus PREDATOR game might be using the Unreal 4 or id Tech 6 (?) or whichever graphics engine.
