I was expecting an unfair, heavy plus frustrating game.
The exact opposite ended up being the case. I Alien isolation as one of 4 free games to get my new GPU to the I started the same diligent in 3x Full HD on 27 "monitors to annoy the Alien ... or vice versa?
I wanted even after I had the game by following always-present statements out of my head:
1. "too heavy" => Who is the game hard has not understood my view the games mechanics. It's easy if you take some time to start playing with the Alien. I have played at an extra easy because I thought I would otherwise never come through. That was probably a mistake ... So the game was really easy and I'm not really the player before the Lord. :) The first encounter with the alien has cost me nervous. Until I found out how the whole thing as ticks and how I can do what where / should passed a few players life. But exactly at this area I still remember exactly, and that was kind of funny ... full of nervous fawns ... shit because there is yes again ... where to go for long nu .. huh?
I think many will remember old games back where it was sometimes similar. Heavy, but room for tinkering and have fun. If you're out there ... then Bäm läufts like clockwork.
"Memory points set far too wide apart and / or unfair" 2 => No not really. In addition, the game also collects partially automatically. I had to repeat a few minutes rare times.
3. "I have most of the time spent in cabinets, that's boring" => This point is likely closely related to point 1. Hiding in cupboards rarely makes sense and certainly not to wait there. Eg Much better is to crawl under or around tables. In closets, there are certain codes of conduct. It's their own fault if the alien hello want to say Tip: man can move in the closet.
4. "The AI of the Alien's stupid and predictable and / or scripted" => Could I not notice. If necessary, these users have had a beta of the game, or I had a patch with it because I was not exactly in the first hour after the release of the road. I found the Alien partially unpredictable. Even in places where it showed up after loading and destroyed me, it came after reloading again not so Predictable I found the androids. They were really stupid ... but this also in turn fits reasonably.
5. "The game is too long (atmig)" => Have I actually read in a review. So I think it could still be twice as long. : D This is possibly because that the game generated a great deal of tension and if you want to play then as a tester in one go by ... :)
Overall, I think that the negative impressions created by making false expectations. Alien isolation is not a game which one turns and then sometimes just can entertain. That does not work ... you have to get involved and immerse it. I was surprised rough personally ... and I have a Kullerkeks on the setting, the atmosphere and the gameplay pleased.
One can also quite aggressive to defend what I like. I am ansich not always and everywhere rumschleicher ... therefore I find the weapons but quite pleasant. :)
So for me, clearly the surprise hit and the game 2014
