I like how we have both the "locked in a room with it" and "it locked in a room with me" in Alien games. It is nice to be both hunter and hunted.

[@connorbennett1517]

I love Isolation and quite like this game. I only wish there was a game that blended the two styles. You can kill the aliens but direct fighting isn't always the best approach. You should be armed but the xenos must still be terrifying to face.

[@Jaimyoutubing]

@@connorbennett1517 Just up Fireteam Elite's difficulty and that's it. That way they become harder to kill and deal WAY more damage, although they actually do a lot of base damage anyways. Xenomorphs, no matter their caste, aren't invincible. The thing about xenomorphs is that they are at their most terrifying when you're unarmed or poorly armed, or are massively outnumbered and overwhelmed in a confined space. Colonial Marines can clear most xeno hives with few casualties, using superior equipment, honed tactics from previous encounters with the bug freaks, and just keeping a cool head. Generally the worst case scenario for any military/security group to fight xenos, is when its unexpected and they come face to face with the bugs unprepared. In that case its usually a wholesale slaughter. Even with such incidents though just weeks, or even hours later, a prepared team goes back in the now identified hive and kills them all. Another good game to try, if you have a PC, or still have a Xbox 360 or PS3 kicking up dust, is AvP from 2010. FANTASTIC game, and you get to see how, mostly realistically (from a story standpoint), how a conflict from the perspective of all 3 sides in the expanded universe would go out.

[@justicebrown1077]

I want another AVP game, cuz thats how it was for me. Predator gameplay gave power fantasy vibes, human gameplay gave horror vibes, and xeno gameplay gave stealthy assassin vibes. Such an underrated game, would love a sequal

No, I have not read the comics. Are they canon to the movie franchise?

@@Andreazor Aye. Agreed. Never said Xenos are dumb. Many a man, machine & Yautja have fallen making that underestimation. Just saying that relentless swarming is par for the course with e'm. As for the comics... There are a FEW that are directly related to the films. But most (imo the best ones.) Are basically self contained narratives that expand & explore the Aliens (& Predator!) universe. One of my favs among e'm is AVP "Three World War"! Totally recommend a read if ya ever get the chance.

[@strangewolf1261]

Plus, I know the Xeno AI is more than a bit dumb sometimes.... but honestly you'd be surprised by how quickly they can catch you off guard especially in higher difficulty where that Yellow outline thing doesn't work while Aiming down sights!
