Opinions on the big reveal? (SPOILERS)

[Flamps]

(SPOILER WARNING, LAST CHANCE!)

The "big reveal" I'm talking about, of course, is that there are many Aliens on the station, not just one.

What do you guys think of the twist?

I'm trying to warm up to it, but somehow I feel that the game would be more satisfying if there really was just one main antagonist, instead of many. Still, it explains how "the killer" was able to travel around the Sevastopol so quickly...

You will still fight against only 1 alien (sometimes facehuggers), you will only encounter 2 aliens at the end of the game, like, VERY END

I know. I've completed the game. I'm talking about from a story perspective.

it makes sense. I mean, clearly this Xeno's been active for probably a month or more, it makes sense it would have hived.

It was to be expected. Pretty obvious that even though you sent the alien flying in space, developers won't leave you without an alien to fight

I was happy to see the hive. Sad to see the facehuggers. their attack almost always bugged my game or crashed it. You do face more than one xenomorph in the hive. I believe max I ran into three because I was being really loud.

I've seen only 2 xenomorphs at once, when I was in the very ending (just before alien takes you into the vents)

Inside the hive you can have more than 2 show up at once if you are being too loud.

Cute.

I liked this twist quite a bit, for two reaons. Firstly because it didn't involve a xenomorph queen. The lack of queen suggests that these xenos have been breeding in the same way as the one from the director's cut of the original attempted to, morphing live human specimens into eggs. I've always found that take on the Alien life cycle to be more disturbing.

Secondly it provides context for the Alien being all over Sevastapol station, instead of just going "lol, video games". A little bit of story telling to provide context for gameplay mechanics never goes amiss.

i also had 3 show up in the hive. also the bit at the end where you're in the command room trying to extend the bridge to the torres, I had 3 there aswell.
