I still need to give Alien: Isolation a proper play through. I've watched streams but never played it for myself.

It's also on my playing list when I get my PS4 soon, most reviews are negative on it but The Batlord seems to think its God's gift to gaming, which is the only reason I'm considering it.

I've seen some positive reviews about it. But yeah, I'm going by what Batty says.

Maybe Dead Space gets scarier later on, but I was never a tenth as freaked out as when I play Isolation. You just can't help but be ultra-alert every second of the game. It looks like the game borrows heavily from the vibe I assume Amnesia has.

I watched Markiplier's and Pewdiepie's playthroughs before I ever got the game, which gave me the false impression that the game wouldn't be that scary for me, but all they did was give me a crash course in what to do and what not to do. So I don't have the frustrating, trial-and-error learning curve that the game requires getting in the way of total immersion. And since the game doesn't rely on scripted jump scares, you never really know just how the game is going to terrify you next. I'm sure you've seen other players get freaked out the first time they get caught in a vent, and I assure you, that is indeed one of the worst experiences you will ever have in a game. The plot may have been ruined, but that's not really the point I guess.

Really? for the most part the reviews ive heard about the game have been a positive one.

Same here. The guy pretty much said what everyone else has ever said: amazing for most of the game, but the last third drags, and while I think he's talking about lag for the PS4 for the cut scenes there is no lag for the 360 version.

And thank Jesus that bit at the end, where the guy got caught going into the vent, has never happened to me. I imagine it involved a lot of, "OH MY GOD OH MY GOD I'M DEAD I'M DEAD HOLY **** THERE'S A VENT GET IN THE VENT GET IN THE VENT NNNNOOOO!!!!!!!!"

19:43 to about 21:10 in this vid is just epic vent action. I love how this dude doesn't do exaggerated personas/reactions. He's just that big of a pussy.

"Just go away!"

:p:

Jev's my new favorite. He makes me feel brave. Supposedly there were copyright issues that stopped him from being able to finish that and his The Evil Within playthrough. He could just have pussed out, but he's still doing horror playthroughs, so...

Im not familiar with him, from the screen shot i thought he was Uberhaxornova or Captain sparkles.

Is that all he does? playthroughs of horror games?

Nah, those are just my favorite to watch in general.
