[@testtest-uj5ui]

yep, i was 100% sure he will demolish this game, cause there is only one name from Cameron's "Aliens" here. The trick of the atmosphere of confrontation with such a monster as an alien is that: 1) it is hiding somewhere in the infrastructure of the building and it can only be tracked by a motion sensor 2) it is deadly near, because firstly it scratches and bites painfully, and secondly it can not be killed near itself-you will fill yourself with acid. 3) at the same time, the alien can be quite tenacious, ignore the loss of limbs and injuries 4) can move freely on vertical surfaces 5) as a consequence of the previous points, the alien attacks unexpectedly and from a short distance, can move along unpredictable routes, which is why the tension instantly flies up to the ceiling, since it must be killed faster than it reaches you and return to assessing the situation around. absolutely all these points are violated in this game. aliens move slowly along 1-2 easy-to-read paths of movement, very frail, acid causes ridiculous damage, and an assessment of the situation by the sensor is not actually required. Yes, purely mechanically, playing in co-op with friends, shooting stupid bots with rare minibosses can even be fun. But please don't drag Cameron and his Aliens into this. In the movie, they were monsters, in this game , they are harmless cats.

The real magic in this game is on intense difficulty and up it almost feels like a completely different game. Bigger Aliens are mini boss battles in themselves even the little aliens can take a hit. The cards give it more flavour and the Drone alien mechanic is just so well done. I really hope they build on this game rather then leave it as it is. Horde Mode needs some love.

[@Butterkin]

I've recently returned to it since we all last played and they have added a second horde map and 2 new playable classes with their own perks, etc. More weapons, more attachments and a few other tidbits here and there so they still support it. Somehow I even found some folks in matchmaking so there seems to be a living playerbase even after all these months.

Cards for playing style, really? You on a mission and get back to a ship, really? Etc etc etc. Adding a boss battle... That is like fixing ONE thing on a multitude of problems/lack of content.

[@RPGManoWar]

"They set themselves up for failure with horror by having it be in third person" That's kind of an odd point considering the massive horror success of games like Resident Evil and the much more obvious comparison of Dead Space. I don't think it's the POV that's cheapening the horror elements; I think it's the style of gameplay. It's hard to make individual enemies scary when you mow down hundreds of them every level. Left 4 Dead is 1st person and isn't scary as a result of this, too

[@Sicknificant1]

idk... i played all of the resident evil's as a kid and the recent ones. I don't know that I would classify resident evil as a horror. There were scary moments but overall you were kicking zombie ass. Maybe the newer games. Def a matter of opinion, but I'm the type of person that feels that first person is the way to go. 3rd person you are more removed from the character, aware of your surroundings, and you get more of a perspective of your size to other things. Idk... again maybe it isn't this way for everyone, but most of the gameplay of games like REs and deadspace even... felt overall more like an action game to me. oh also, don't know how I didn't mention this earlier... the most recent RE horror games have been in first person and imo have been scarier than previous titles overall. Again, some of the old games definitely nailed some jumpscare moments, but the overall impending feeling of doom isn't really there.

Its really frustrating that the majority of problems they talked about are no longer issues at all. The large variety of content now present in all areas of the game have turned it into a game I would feel was worth my money at full price 60/70$. This worsening/increasing trend of kicking a half finished game out the door and then the rest of the game gets updated in over the course of around a year is consistently (and predictably) resulting in an overall net negative for every game it happens to.

[@SagaciousNihilist]

The game has 12 missions that take 25mins each to beat, a unfinished campaign overall, you have to pay for the dlc just to be able to kill the Queen, the pathogen missions should have been a part of the game at release, you are paying for the rest of the game they didnt finish. So no its not worth 60 much less 70 bucks even now, its worth 30 at most. The npcs dont even move their mouths when they talk, every level is designed the same way and now that cold Iron has started working on a new ip you can bet that you wont be getting more dlcs for it, just fixes.

[@testtest-uj5ui]

they DID fucked it up. there is only one name from Cameron's "Aliens" here. The trick of the atmosphere of confrontation with such a monster as an alien is that: 1) it is hiding somewhere in the infrastructure of the building and it can only be tracked by a motion sensor 2) it is deadly near, because firstly it scratches and bites painfully, and secondly it can not be killed near itself-you will fill yourself with acid. 3) at the same time, the alien can be quite tenacious, ignore the loss of limbs and injuries 4) can move freely on vertical surfaces 5) as a consequence of the previous points, the alien attacks unexpectedly and from a short distance, can move along unpredictable routes, which is why the tension instantly flies up to the ceiling, since it must be killed faster than it reaches you and return to assessing the situation around. absolutely all these points are violated in this game. aliens move slowly along 1-2 easy-to-read paths of movement, very frail, acid causes ridiculous damage, and an assessment of the situation by the sensor is not actually required. Yes, purely mechanically, playing in co-op with friends, shooting stupid bots with rare minibosses can even be fun. But please don't drag Cameron and his Aliens into this. In the movie, they were monsters, in this game , they are harmless cats.

[@vla1ne]

@@IP2CxHistorian2 i'm not giving excuses for anything major my guy. Lip flaps are literally bottom priority imo. I was talking more about the alien queen fight, and using the lip flaps as an offhand comparison. I would rather them hold off on it, balance an entire level around the battle, and add it in a patch where it is a more complete and satisfying boss battle, than them trying to make the level early, and having it come out the gate as a trash fight. This isn't like colonial marines, cyberpunk, or no mans sky, where the game is busted on release. What we have right now is both entertaining and we'll done overall. All it needs is a bit more polish, which, as they have already said they would do just that (polish up and add content to the game via later patches), I am willing to give benefit to them for making the game as good as it currently is. I get your point overall, but this game is good as is considering they made the choice to make it all in house to retain full creative control, and already has the promise of getting better, which is far more than I can say of behemoth studios like gamefreak, with their most recent mainline pokemon games.

[@chalermponwuii]

I always thought they were going to go the warframe way of mapping, where they maps are ramdomly generated with pre-made rooms and that sometimes you could encounter differecnt factions fighting each other, or in these case even other NPC marines, with that you can even add secondary missions scatered around the map.

[@jeremyroberts8822]

A mixture of something like this mixed with alien isolation would be the perfect alien game. It would keep that survival horror element but you would also be playing as a combat marine that isn’t basically defenseless like ripley’s daughter was in isolation. It could be more of a cat and Mouse style where you do have firepower but there are so many aliens that straight up fighting through them might not always be the best option

Aye! Atmosphere, soundstaging and design, and emphasis on survivability, means everything in a truly terrifying horror experience and Dead Space nailed it (albeit, DS2 was scarier than the first and third iterations). However, that was the sole purpose of that trilogy. The concept and creative direction was purely atmosphere-centric, which is where Fireteam Elite differs. If you play A:FE as it's intended to be played, it's a damn fun and surprisingly deep third-person objective-based shooter. If you're looking for the horror elements from AvP 2000 and Isolation, you will find those elements to be lacking.

i feel like the quicktime events should always end with death unless you have an ally break you out before its over. aliens are POWERFUL and should easily be able to take out any marine once grabbed. maybe make them last 10 seconds on the easiest difficulty and gradually less time as the difficulty ramps up, and the event itself is just to hold out that long.

[@storerettz]
