So… how long is each chapter/mission roughly?

[ThatSadBoi_TTV]

I’ve reached mission/chapter 12 and quite honestly I’m getting bored of the game. I’m trying to play games in my backlog and AI was the first game I played.

I enjoyed it to begin with but holy hell this game just seems to be dragging. I’ve ended up changing the game from hard to east just so I can finish the game.

The missions are of varying lengths. The part you're in is considered by many to be the dullest stretch of the game, but stick with it as things will get interesting again before long.

indeed :-D

What I felt towards the end was also boredom - at least that is what I told to myself, until I realized it was more like "terror fatigue" or something. By the time I got through medical (and spent so much time there hiding and shaking that the alien got tethered to me like it was a puppy on a leash) I think I got terror overdose. You say you are at Mission 12, so there are some heavy-duty "fun" still waiting for you..

Maybe put it aside for a while, that is what I did - after medical I stopped playing for two days until the feeling "oh damnit more hide and seek, you gotta be kidding me, gimmi a break!" went away.

At the part now where I have to go find the med lab to retrieve something to help the injured woman. Wonderful.

Run, hide, craft. And now fetch. Tedious and boring. I want decent weps. I want to stand and fight, damnit! Sheesh.

Also switching to easy mode just to finish this kludge and be done with it. Graphics are great but that can't make up for the boring af gameplay...

I did feel the same the first day I bougth the game and found out the revolver does nothing to the Alien - put me off the game for years. But its not a colonial marines shoot and shoot game alas. Cheaply built space station with cheap equipment, cheap and dangerously badly programmed androids and cheap, low powered weapons, so that the drunken denizens won't shoot the station full of holes and find out the company also saved money on emergency seals. Your only option is to run and/or hide when that bug is around. It yanked me out of closets several times, so hiding is not really a long term solution.

Revolvers? LoL.
Reel-to-reel tape recorders? Lolz.
CRT monitors? Lolzz
Ghetto blasters? Lolzz!
Cigarettes? [cough] :wtf:

Give us a break, devs. You can do better than that. [rolls eyes]

This is meant to be the version of the future as portrayed in the 1979 Alien movie - just think of it as an alternate universe where some forms of technology (like faster-than-light travel and fusion reactors) evolved much faster than others.

Sorry man but you just shot yourself in the feet here. This is the aesthetic of a movie. And it's actually quite satisfying to see retro-futuristic stuff like this everywhere. It makes the game more Alien (the franchise) and not a random sci-fi game

I bought the wrong game then. Glad I paid next to nothing for it.

I'm more of an Aliens fan, actually (shooters, action). The first movie sukt, anyway. Too slow and a bit of a snore, tbh (like this game) .

LOL. I don`t believe you`re a fan of Aliens. If you were, you would still have a lot of respect for the first movie even if you did prefer the second one.
