That is going to be interesting.
Hello might as well get a laugh track sound effect going for every time something stupid happens with the Alien controls.
Seriously, I'm having a hard time grasping just how bland and predictable this all is, and I can put up with an awful lot from a game. The opening marine mission in AvP2 was great,
Still, your commentary was just gold in this one. You could taste the rage at the end :^:
Edit: and with every single audio log, I'm reminded that the Doom 3 ones were actually pretty good at either building atmosphere or (sometimes) conveying useful information. These do neither. It's just more... blandness.
I write for these people. Just reviewed: Drox Operative
I didn't find that too bad actually, well at least on the 360 but it's not as fluid as the alien in AvP2 by any means. The awkwardness of jumping to a vent, only for the alien to go to an entirely different vent than expected can be very annoying.
Speaking of fire: yes, the aliens did eventually blow up when set on fire in some other AvP games...they just didn't spray acid blood everywhere and explode with such visceral detail.
Like to say a overheated liquid boils out and kaboom!
...god I feel stupid.

This, this is true. Helloween, you're the master of missing the obvious.
I'm really getting tired of half-assed future technology.
Okay Marine, we've sent you outside our own solar system to a remote world we've colonized. There you will fight an alien threat that lurks in the dark and has acid for blood. You'll be equipped with a pistol someone used in the Vietnam War and the worst flashlight we could dig out of a grade school time capsule.
I blame the raging and comment-making. Its distracting

In AVP1, made by the same people, the guns worked about the same way as they do here. The pistol is for emergencies, and being accurate, the pulse rifle is for spraying bullets everywhere, the shotgun is for the real killings, and the flamethrower was mostly useless except for making aliens explode in your face, and killing facehuggers, who can't do anything when on fire.
Wait.
Who supplies the gear for the Colonial Marines, anyway?
Your rage is hilarious though.
I will concede though in the battle with the queen there I had the EXACT same reaction and I was getting face hugged every 5 seconds. It was extremely annoying, but somehow I did it without dying (because Facehuggers are hilariously bad in this game).
Edit: I did find it funny that it took something like 5+ facehuggers running around to finally get you. Oddly the flamer is almost useless against them as sometimes it's like it doesn't even register it hit them.
I pronounce it bee-log. Most recent entry: VIDEO GAMES: GUNPOINT, OR A SCIENTIFIC STUDY ON WHAT HAPPENS WHEN GLASS MEETS TROUSERS.

Shooting/Punching is Halloweens medium of expression.

Milk comes in bags and cartons where I come from, not robo mans who have the military training of plywood. They are a good source of calcium and omega 3 however.
My favourite part of this set:

Throw in a few pathing fixes and crank the difficulty up you'll have a proper AVP game that pays homage to black demons COMING OUT OF THE GODDAMN WALLS! I think the face hugger not being instant death is stupid though but if you cranked the difficulty up it may be instant death. You cant complain about how easy it is to kill the aliens and survive when your constantly getting whacked from underestimating them haha.
I do agree the NPC predator is retarded as shit but it usually always was, it just needs to move around alot more and stop standing still using its plasma caster.
If anyone is interested the SA thread has the aliens RPG Colonial space marine technical manual thats a fucking fantastic read.
That combined with the fact that he just shot him off the wall without so much as a jump reaction even though it was right next to the doorway had me rolling. These sets just keep getting better and better.
I thought I was getting a skype call there.
It's so non scary its not even funny.

Actually, if you pay attention, 90% of his deaths so far are from the acid spray being an instant kill half of the time. The rest of them are from him getting weakened a lot from said acid spray. The aliens themselves have killed him about once
No they aren't. The only thing that makes them even remotely intimidating is the ridiculous damage the acid does to you. without that they wouldn't even be the slightest threat.
He has been ambushed a handful of times, most of the time they do so it's actually their spastic pathing (ironically) aiding them. Otherwise they tend to come from directly in front of you (as the LP clearly demonstrates). The amount of aliens that pop up from under the floor DIRECTLY in front of you is easily noted.
I can't recall if it is but mostly Nightmare isn't any more scary - it's more just completely obnoxious dying to a random acid death than anything else.
Honestly, this game is not scary or a good AvP game in any manner.
The default, normal i believe

'Weyland Takes a Bath' difficulty.

Such fond memories...
1. Your now 12,000+ on subscriber numbers, awesome.
2. You forgot to list Cryostasis in your list of completed LPs.
Looking forward to the next set.
I am always pissed off how in 90% of FPS games, the sniper rifle is hands-down the best weapon, because it's more of a fucking railgun than an actual sniper rifle.
I remember multiplayer AvP2 and just getting endlessly wrecked as an alien by bunnyhopping marines one-shotting me with that piece of shit.
Overpowered acid blood sprays? while complaining you regenerate a face at the same time? I dont know what you expect of acid blood but i have a feeling its pretty high. Of course he died from acid blood because he was standing still shooting aliens at his feet which is the entire purpose and specialty of the aliens. He wasent trying to avoid them and get into the spirit the game designers were trying to throw in he was trying to waltz through like serious sam. AVP2 was so damn fun because no other FPS had me holding down my tigger staggering backwards as black demons ran at me from the walls and ceilings promising death if they got to close.
No offense helloween i enjoy these LP's its just my years of gaming compelling me to get behind the gun--anyone can play however they like but i feel the game designers were aiming towards a cooperating mindset to set the stage for the scares. I would have shat my pants when that alien hissed at me from the walls because i really get into the role games thrust upon me.
