crying tears of AGONY at how CRAP this game is!

[Bozo The Clown]

I literally spent 30 hours playing through this MESS of a game! The game taught me how to use flares so I use them and then the xeno never cares anymore? The ♥♥♥♥? Why tell me to use a flare and then have the alien just ignore it half the time later during the game? The ♥♥♥♥ am I supposed to do now? Every time I try to run away, for some reason the alien keeps coming and I try to outrun the alien, I can't???? I've been stuck at the area where you have to put some container near a cooling thing in a morgue area or something but I've been stuck for the past 30 HOURS IN THAT AREA. I KEEP RUNNING AROUND TRYING TO FIND A BOMB TO BLOW UP THE DOOR AND NOTHING HAPPENS I CANT FIND CRAP.

And then when the Alien DOES come, I use the stun baton that the game GAVE ME IN THE SAME AREA LESS THAN 10 SECONDS AGO, BUT FOR SOME REASON THE ALIEN IS UN-EFFECTED. CURIOUS, GAME? WHATS THAT ABOUT?

Honestly if it werent for the fact that I can just go back into the elevator and wander around, HOPING I MISSED SOMETHING, I would literally live in that area. I for the life of me cannot figure it out. This game is just simply TOO HARD. the alien iS OVERPOWERED. the "puzzles" are incomprehensible. I've been wandering around this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ship for the past 30 something hours just hoping I've missed some bomb to blow myself up with because I can't shoot myself in the head with the gun.

5/10. Gave it away in the very first paragraph.

You really spent that much time trying to figure out the morgue puzzle? Just access the terminal, click the option at the bottom and then check the things on the side to open the next room. When you open up the last room check the rewire box. You have plenty of time to walk and do it before the alien comes. As for the stun baton, did you actually think that would do anything to that monster? Try a different enemy.

hey friend, i got the solution: Get some parental attention

Well at least he`s not complaining about that first encounter with humans. You know the one where you have to grab that access tuner, walk up some stairs, sneak past one or two people, and.....that`s pretty much it. I have no idea how people get stuck on that part or why they find it so difficult.

Its a stealth game stop running
Its a xenomorph you cant run faster than it
Its a xenomorph it wont get affected by a mere electric shock

Yeah, I think it took me about 2 attempts. I died the first time because I didn`t know where to go. After that I just snuck past the first person and then sprinted to the exit. Pretty easy.

It's because where you're supposed to go is not clear. For most people it's not immediately apparent that where you're supposed to go is where those 4 guys with guns just came from. It's also not the immediate instinct for people to go upstairs where 4 armed people are when all you have is a wrench. Also if you're playing on hard like the game suggests they see you quick and kill you quicker. Also the game puts a rewire box there to make players think the correct course of action is to use the rewire things to distract them, when in reality the rewire boxes are some of the most useless things in the game that are always a waste of time unless they open a door required to progress in the story. Also a lot of players don't know that the 4 human enemies will quit following you once you go through the door you're supposed to go through, so they assume you'll just have to kill them.

There's lots of reasons why people struggle with this part. Basically it comes down to poor game design. It's a poorly designed stealth section because stealth gets you killed. The most efficient and safe way to get through it is to go up the same stairs they come down (something most gamers' instincts tell them not to do) and then run like hell to the door. So people crouch down, try to hide, try to be smart, and ultimately get wasted over and over again using stealth when you're really supposed to just... not use stealth.

Dear god, go outside, I completed this game on a first run on hard and finished in 19.1 hours that just ended less than half an hour ago, this is the weakest troll I've seen in years.

I use that quote all the time on the Steam forums or other game sites.

Yes , once I got the tuner, I made the mistake of exiting the waiting room rather than going up the stairs. They were so difficult, I thought you had to escape and use the tuner somewhere else.
If you exit the main room and try to get back in while the enemies are patrolling there it's literally impossilble to sneak past them. I had to lower the difficulty and rush to them to kill them all with the wrench, and even that was difficult.

and tbh he got a point about flares. I never saw what they're for and never used them.
Also why you can't pick up a detector because you already have 3 inyour inventory. This is ***ing stupid
