MAX PLAYS: ALIEN ISOLATION - Crew Expendable & Last Survivor DLC

[@WllKiedSnake]

This dlc was actually their pitch in order to make this game. Its like the demo to present to people.

[@skoomawizard]

That’s a cool fun fact

[@JakNasty69]

Wow I didn't know that, that's actually pretty dope

[@Ruddiman]

Woah, really? It makes perfect sense and is a good note for anyone wanting to introduce a new video game concept. Just show the fundamentals of gameplay. The hide-and-seek concept is such a trope in horror games these days, but Alien Isolation made it unique. I REALLY HOPE a sequel, prequel, or remake is somehow put into works soon. Holding fast that concept of horrifying gameplay.

[@profjpg]

Do you have a source for that? I mean like a documentary or interview? Would love to read/watch that. These things are always super interesting.

[@Makr0ss]

"Don't try to out run the Alien. You won't make it." lmao at Max's face.

[@theblackswordsman5051]

Where's the timestamp guy when you need him? Well, it might as well be me! *Timestamps:* Crew Expendable: 7:11 "This game sucks!" Shortly followed by hiding from the Xenomorph. 10:40 "Fuck it." Max leaves his hiding place. 11:25 Xeno crawls into vent while Max tried to find a flashlight. It eats his face. Death 1. 12:30 Max tries to fight the Xeno with a wrench. Xeno wins. Death 2. 14:50 Xeno finds Max in the vent. Death 3. 17:33 Max tries to torch the Xeno and runs. The Xeno does not like that and follows. He didn't make it. Death 4. 19:27 Xeno finds Max in the vent. Is greeted with a face full of fire. 23:00 More vent shenanigans. Death 5. 26:15 A very close call with tall, dark and ugly. 32:50 Pulled away into the darkness due to Lambert foolishness. Death 6. 33:55 Confused by the footsteps, Max turns his back to the Xeno and pays the price. Death 7. 34:53 Max tries CQC with the flamethrower. The Xeno outperforms. Death 8. 36:19 The Xeno cooks at Max but decides to vent instead. 39:12 Max remembers how flares work, but not how to aim them. Almost becomes a well-cooked Xeno dinner but doesn't. 40:19 Nevermind, he does. Death 9. (Is followed by a Homer Simpson scream when the game reloads.) 44:31 Leads the Xeno into the airlock but is thwarted by Ash's meddling. End of CE. Last Survivor: 47:20 Begins Last Survivor 51:51 Failed attempt by the wife to scare Max. Followed by a successful attempt by the Xeno to scare Max. 53:31 Max turns on a recorder and mistakenly believes it lures the Xeno in to kill him. Death 10. 1:04:52 Close call with Xeno, followed by going the wrong way. 1:08:11 Self-destruct countdown begins. 1:10:30 Max gets munched. Death 11. 1:11:30 Max runs in the halls and is caught by an angry hall monitor. Death 12. Final Death. 1:14:08 Max finishes the DLC, and explains how Ripley has to go all the way back in the movie. Total Deaths: 12. Was this really needed for an hour-long video? No. Do I care? No.

[@likky1]

Really? He actively used the tracker to check if it left, it would have been hilarious if while its up it darted towards him during the main playthrough

[@bobafettish660289]

@@likky1 essentially if you held it out permenantly, the alien would find you. If you held it out for more than say 5 seconds it'll head in the direction of the noise. If you get it out very breifly to do a quick check you should be ok. usually what would happen is the alien wouldn't be in his sights so he'd cautiously hold the tracker out for 10-40 seconds before moving on. Then the alien showed up & he'd get frustrated that it knew where he was for 'no reason'. But in reality he was unintentionally leading the alien to him, by relying on the tracker too much. . Basically, he kept using the tracker long enough for the alien to get a rough idea of where he was. but not long enough for the alien to know exactly where he was. Whilst it wasn't enough to get him killed even more, it was enough to make the game a lot harder.

[@lutherheggs451]

OR the people who don't suck everything off just because its tre kewl, actually see that it has problems, that its not particularly amazing, that the AI has a habit of frequently breaking and getting stuck in this loop to where you get trapped in things until you finally reload to fix the AI, that the working Joes being everywhere gets really old, the 2nd half practically turns into a shooter and the game is waaaayyyy too long.....Its good, but sure as shit isn't the masterpiece that the fanturds jerk off over it about.

If your mic is connected to the system you’re playing on, yes the alien can find you using your mic. Also on hard difficulty the scanners beeps and boops also alert the alien.

Is this confirmed to also be the case on the PC version? As far as I'm aware, this should only work on console

[@Wistful_Mate]

@@pcdave5605 after looking into it, this was not implemented onto the pc port of the game and I’m unsure of why they wouldn’t have such a core mechanic implemented on pc as well.

[@raptros]

@@Wistful_Mate it's not a core mechanic, it was only on the ps4 and it worked better if you had the ps eye, which doubled as a little motion sensitive gimmick, you could lean physically to look over corners and tables and whatnot.

[@johns1625]

Coolest thing about how accurate this game is to the movies is sometimes when you catch the xeno in just the right light you can see through the transparent "shell" on the top of it's head and you can see the empty eye sockets inside of it, like the very first xenomorph design from the first movie that was supposed to have a human skull for a face 😨😨

[@SaiyanHeretic]

Kinda wild that they got almost the entire original cast back for CE/LS. (I forgot if Ian Holm refused or just wasn't available.) For a DLC that most people didn't even play! A:I is the ultimate love letter to this franchise. Who do I have to kill for a proper sequel from this dev team?

[@gerharddamm5933]

I think the trick to this game is to not take too long waiting for the alien to appear, you gotta move quick (but not sprint) to confuse the AI and force it to teleport the alien. If it’s blocking your path, go the long route.

[@NiiRubra]

Yeah, Alien Isolation rewards you for bravery (but not the dumb kind), it has all of these hiding places that do help when the Xenomorph is basically entering the room you're in, but otherwise they are a temptation to give into fear and become trapped, if the player spends a lot of time hiding, the Xenomorph eventually starts to narrow down where they can be, and eventually it will get them, even if they're inside a damn box.

[@tinybee7780]

So glad Max gave this game a second chance. When he played it at launch, he was turned off by it. Now that he's revisited it, I'm happy to see him be thoroughly impressed by everything it offered. I hope he revisits this again and show it to Ripley when she grows up.

[@tinybee7780]

@@whollenbeck8 That's what I was referring to. His most recent Alien: Isolation playthrough was a revisit. While playing he mentioned he tried the game at launch but didn't really like it for some reason, which was why he dropped it.

[@lutherheggs451]

@@tinybee7780 Doesn't help when the game is about 10 hours too long, the first half of it is sneaking around hallways hoping to go the Alien AI doesn't break and it gets stuck in a loop before turning into a weird mediocre shooter and then going back to the creeping mechanic.....There is alot this game could have cut for the sake of length, actually fixed the AI and not released it on 10 different platforms, the game might have sold better and might have gotten a sequel.

[@SolProxy]

@@lutherheggs451 Lol it only released on 6 platforms. 2 old-gen consoles which they probably were told not to ignore, and two newer consoles and PC. That's pretty standard of games in 2014 when the new consoles started coming out. Then Switch years later.

Poor Max didn't know that the Alien can hear the tracker really well on that difficulty, he was basically a walking beacon for it.

[@brendansage6876]

IIRC the Alien only notices the tracker beeps when its 1 to 1.5 meters away from you, AKA you're hiding under a table or in a locker or something. It is dangerous, don't get me wrong, but at least it's not like it can hear the beeping from halfway across the map.

[@nathanhandy5041]

This game is amazing, Alien and Aliens are fucking masterpieces of movies. This DLC was pretty good. I don't think we will ever get a good Alien Single player game ever again, They should make a game where you play as Ripley going through the events of Alien 1 and Alien 2 with Newt, Burke, Gorman, Bishop and everyone. I would buy that. Even though Crew Expendable is Alien 1's Story.

I'm rather desensitized to horror, as much as I love the genre, and I have to like, lower my guard and try to really get into movies and games so that I can enjoy them, but with Alien Isolation there's no need, the way they made this creature is so fucking good, the sound effects, the movement, the AI, the soundtrack, the environments, it's perfection.

Raising the issue with Mr X from REmake 2 is a good point, because in both cases, the reason why he can just pop up after you thought he was somewhere else is because [spoilers!] THERE'S MORE THAN ONE OF THEM HUNTING YOU [spoilers] Someone booted up an out of bounds mod for RE2make a while back and looked at that shit, and sure enough there are two Mr X's hunting you throughout the police station.
