Playing this too. So far so great. Not too far in though but taking my time. The music and sound in general are impressive. Tension is building!

Really good with headphones, gets really tense in places!

Just ordered this for £15. It wouldn't be the first game where I couldn't complete the first level

How many hours does it take to finish? just deciding if it will be my next game to play from the collection I have to go through..

Plainsong · 6 Feb 2015 at 19:39

I read about 15 hours. More if you take your time. The game so far for me is quite stealthy and slow which I quite like. It doesn't seem like a game you can just rush through.

I got this as part of s budle for the ps4. I stared to play it and loved it but the cut scenes issue where ruining my immersion. Have they been fix and it the game in a good current state?

Plainsong · 7 Feb 2015 at 12:01

No issues with the cut scenes for me. Started playing a couple of days ago. There was a patch but I can't remember how big.

No issues with cut scenes here.

Bigpig · 7 Feb 2015 at 12:18

Cheers last time I played it before xmas they tried to patch it but broke some other part of the game so removed the patch

Got up to chapter 5 and just had my first death by alien. Game is so intense I'm so glad I bought it. Best thing I've played for ages and the best Alien franchise game ever IMO.

I think that's about where I starting dying a lot. The alien is so fast once it sees you!

Got this game for Christmas and finally got around to playing this weekend.

Finding it to be a very good survival horror game so far, just finished Chapter 7 I think. The game looks great and really captures the mood of the original movies well.

Pacing is slow but for the better - perhaps slow just a little too often at times, but at least it makes deaths more punishing.
It's been a long time since a video game (or movie) has made me jump and actually had me a little scared!

... I'm playing in the dark with headphones.

On mission 10. Things are a little more manageable now with the flamethrower! Game is quite tough for me but still loving it.

Does the flamethrower have an effect on the alien?

I've got the revolver and its useless on the humanoids but not tried and weapons on the alien yet.

Plainsong · 8 Feb 2015 at 18:50

It gets rid of him for a while but really ****es him off so that he seems more determined to come at you. Really helps though.

TellyTel · 8 Feb 2015 at 18:55

Ah ok will have to try the revolver on him see if that fends him off for a while until I get the flamethrower. Although saying that I think using weapons should be last resort in this. Cheers

Good luck with that!

Save your pistol for using on humans, or at best, just don't use it at all.
