The AI director needs to be FAR more aggressive

[Orion Invictus]

A Slasher or two isn't gonna cut it. Give me a Brute or a quarantine event. Something that's actually difficult to beat.

I have actually had 1 quarantine event. Only 1 however. And it was only like 4 or 5 enemies. I was expecting brutes and infectors and things when I heard about the "Intensity" director.

Where was this quarantine event, though?

Medical. I forget the room name but it's the one with Nicole's office. There's originally a quarantine event there when you first go there. I had one later on while backtracking for lockers to open.

Play impossible mode using just the remain part of necromorfs as weapons, then you can enjoy it for sure.

I think I got it too. Could it be scripted?

No? I'm not looking to handicap myself so Necromorphs are more of a challenge. I want the Director to get its ass in gear and give me opponents that might actually stand a chance at killing me.

We live in a kinder gentler era of AAA gaming . No pressure. Don't go too hard on them they may quit rather than think. Accessibility is great but the seasoned gaming vets are being left out in the cold.

Yeah, no. Save that kind of talk for another thread, please.

I got multiple quarantines, also around 4 or 5 enemies.

Adding more situation for player to die won't actually do the trick. Since if you get killed you just start it from the checkpoint( Well, unless you are in impossible)
The original have zero reason to backtrack, so every sec you spent Not on the mission is every sec you waste, thus it don't have so many familiar corridor needs to fill it with Necs
I will vote for random hunter encounter and optional "Boss" fight

Finished your impossible run yet?

Late game several quarantines will be a mix of spitter, enhanced, soldier, demo, and baby makers.

It's not Dark Souls but I don't know anyone who did impossible with zero reloads when things looked like they might go sideways.

Is this a game mode? I dont remeber an AI director in the game, I remeber an AI voice.

I don't like the Hunter mechanic (I just don't find it interesting to be stalked by an invincible enemy that I can only run away from), and static boss fights are the opposite of what the Director does. I want the Director to really make me experience what it's like to be on a ship that once had over 1000 crew members that have all been turned into monsters. And that means hordes, powerful enemies appearing more often, etc.

Game literally has a "die once and it's over, we delete or downgrade your save" difficulty. That's actually far more hardcore than most "old" games.

I was going to do Impossible in NG+, but then I discovered you can't. I already don't like the idea of a single save slot and I am definitely not restarting just for a few skins.

The Director is an automated system the devs built into the game that executes certain scripts depending on the situation. It might spawn some enemies, trigger quarantines, or just try to scare you. It's also responsible for loot drops and such.

Like I told that guy, please save that kind of talk for another thread.
