Agiel Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 RIP the way overpowered Nova. Quote “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.” -Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>> Quote "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete." -Rod Serling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drowsy Emperor Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Fuuu. It didn't see me in that situation, heh. The moment I thought it would jump at me - and me being ready with the flamethrower - it instead jumped up into the vents and disappeard. Have to say, since I got the flamethrower and noticed how the ai works, I am not that much scared anymore. It's like I lost the fear of the unknown. They should have rushed the game to the ending at that point, instead they prolonged it for about as much as you've already been playing. Good game, but it really outstays its welcome.

Lexx Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 (edited) Agreed. I could really need the ending credits by now. Especially all the android stuff annoys me. They aren't really that much fun and they make me feel like the game is trying to pretend to be a first person shooter now.

They kicked themselves in the teeth when the alien was supposedly thrown out of the airlock. They couldn't reintroduce it quickly for logical and pacing reasons, leaving nothing to fill the void, but the androids, that really shouldn't have a large part in the game in the first place. And you as the player know that there'll be no alien for a while so all the tension is gone. The gameplay lacks enough variety for the total running time.. I gave up when they took my weapons away at the AI core and the androids were back to being unkillable . I just couldn't bother with them. No DingDong, you can't play as Predator.

Lexx Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 (edited) I was mainly running through these parts. Also it helps to save up as many pipe bombs as possible for a later scene... Thought I would finish the game this evening, but guess what... nope, it's still going. Had at least 3 encounters that easily could have been final boss fights, but in last minute they stopped being boss fights. I mean, it's still a cool game and I still want more content, but this specific story should be done already. All the tense feelings are getting drawn out of it this way. Oh, and I think the alien is running around waaaay too much. Instead of silently hunting its prey, it is like STOMP STOMP STOMP I AM IN THE VENTS YOU WONT GUESS THIS STOMP STOMP HEY LETS TAKE A FAST LOOK OUT OF THIS VENT OH I BETTER GO BACK STOMP STOMP. It's too often / too fast. And again... I probably wouldn't even have noticed it, if the game would be a tad shorter. Damn.

Drowsy Emperor Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I played on hard and the alien is extremely fast and it often makes a surprising turn and heads the exact opposite of where it was going at twice or three times initial speed. As for the sounds, they had to introduce some audio cues or you would have no chance of getting away and no warning before you get killed instantly. It can hear the motion tracker so walking with it out is not a viable strategy.

Lexx Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Yes, I can understand this. Still, it's too much, imo. If the alien is everywhere, everytime, it looses the scary part. The player is getting used to it way too fast. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drowsy Emperor Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Yep. Well, the original film is 90 minutes during which nothing happens for at least an hour and the alien is on the screen for 10mins total. Replicating that in a game that has to offer at least 10 hours of entertainment is a task I'd rather not attempt.

nipsen Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 (edited) No one, ever. But I suppose that's not going to stop EA from trying. I mean, it could be that the 800th attempt at camouflaging their fake swords as magical ones, by painting them in magical glitter, and paying the youtube minstrels to sing their storied praise, etc -- will actually slay the dragon in the end. No amount of gold and time would be wasted then! Edited December 2, 2014 by nipsen The injustice must end! Sign the petition and Free the Krug!

LadyCrimson Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 The nanomachines guy, in one of the pics, reminds me of Hank Henshaw/Cyborg. ...I keep wanting to post a picture of an awesome 7DtD underground bunker, but holy crow it's taking forever to get anywhere. So far I have three protected entrances, temp small side rooms, and the early/initial connecting tunnel that takes me over two minutes real-time to run through. And I'm not even half as deep as I'm going to be. People must spend weeks on their fancy deco bunker things. 1 “Things are as they are.
