Alien: Isolation...

Right at the very end now. Just did a really long bit that was just really a cutscene where you press a few buttons... I get to the end and the game crashes!

Seriously, what happened with the last 2 hours of this game?
 
Oh I enjoy the fact I could fight it back, I am nitpicking here. I love the Alien films and I think this is the best alien game ever, even better than Alien Trilogy on the PS1 and the kick ass arcade game.

But I would have restricted it's use a little bit more, eg throw you in areas of leaking gas/fuel where it cannot be used.
 
Just completed it, and whilst I feel it does have problems in the last few hours, I don't have any problem at all with the actual ending.

Overall, one of the best games ever made imo. Am absolute classic!

Edit- I would cut out quite a bit towards the end though tbh. From the reactor to the end needs trimming down a bit imo

This sounds brilliant. Still going to hold off a month till some steam sales to save a bit of money - but it's not easy to not give in to temptation! :D
 
Anyone else having or had an ultra slow loading in between mission?
Its like the loading got stucked for 1 or 2 mins then it will continue on. Bit unusual as previously everything was perfect

Yes. For about 2 days now. All of a sudden, loading took ages, especially when first loading up the game. One time yesterday it took over a minute.

Any chance you are using nvidia?

Only thing that changed recently on my system was the nvidia driver. Possibly related? Im too lazy to do a rollback so Ill just probably live with it lol
 
Ooh didn't even know there's a new patch. I only experienced it today so it's either the patch or the new nvidia driver

I had problems changing level with newest nvidia drivers. Rolled back to previous and was fine again...

Yeah I am baffled too. Signed into Steam got the update, nothing seems to have change. Clicked on View updates and was lead to Crew expendable page.

Update only took a few seconds even with my stone age connection.
 
Is anyone else getting sick of the lack of save facility in this game? I just had to replay "Reactivate Samuels Communication" part about a dozen times, as I kept getting killed by the robot guys when I exit the vending machine room.

Finally tonight, I get past it.... do 3 puzzles, head out the door I came in and "BAM" mr robot kills me again, and I'm right back at the start of the level again.

Is there any way to kill those robots? I might have to stop playing this as the lack of save facility and the invincible robots are having me repeat the same thing over and over and over... :mad:

Unless you have the flame thrower or a pipe bomb, the only way to get past them is to distract with a noisemaker or simply sneak by!
 
there is a save facility, find the save station and save there after doing a core section then if you die you return to that state easy.

I know mate, but there's no save stations during all of that game play.

I really don't know what the fuss is about this game. I'm trying really hard to enjoy it, but...

Spoiler tag for anyone who hasn't played it yet.

Robots can be a pain earlier on in the game before you get EMP's. Revolver will kill them but takes a few headshots and attracts unwanted attention. The stun baton let's you smash them with the wrench too. Otherwise the robots are not that quick and you can kind of lead them on a merry chase if you need to, to get around them and get the hell outta dodge.

Also use the vents a lot with the robots around, you can get by them a lot of the time. They won't follow you into vents either. I used crouch walk almost all the time in game unless I clearly didn't need to.

Last bit of advice is to use the tab map often to get your bearings and give you a quick breather to figure out where to travel next.

The most tense bit early on was when I had 3 robots chasing me and I didn't know where to go! :D

I went back to a nearby save station quite often to save my state, worked pretty well. There was a couple of times I died and had to replay sections but for the most part it was fine.
