- Original 2014 Playthrough: • Alien: Isolation
It's been 6 1/2 years since Alien: Isolation came out, and I recently replayed it on Twitch - during a recent charity stream, chat voted on a game to replay and Alien won out! I also played on Hard difficulty, which was a mistake. Speaking of mistakes, I'm never editing a video like this again, this was a nightmare. Thanks for watching!

I like how the androids immediately kill any human in sight but when they see the alien they just politely ask it to identify itself.
Actually..........going through Johns old playthrough (thank god he's as dedicated to knowing whats going on in a game story as a gamer SHOULD be) we find out that "Hazard Containment Breach: Level Omega" was ACTUALLY a Weyland-Yutani initiative sent to APOLLO and then delivered to the Working Joes to basically tell them to protect the Xenomorphs from harm.
.......if either Weyland-Yutanit or Seegson gave a shit about their WORKERS instead, the Working Joes would have been rabid Homicidal against the Xenomorphs instead.
@@Tentegen Which makes the game play harder as you can't use the Alien kills the other threats strategy.
@@Tentegen yup. they were corrupt on purpose

I actually really like the idea of a synthetic (or group thereof) going postal on an unsuspecting xenomorph.
You now have 666 likes. Congrats dude.
FOR EVERYONE ASKING ABOUT RESIDENT EVIL VILLAGE:
Part 1 video is going up tomorrow. The people you see posting videos or streaming today either received early access codes, or they are in a region where it is released. Neither is true for me. So the first video will go up tomorrow.
can't wait to watch it!!
Can't wait to watch it's going to be amazing!!
Nice!!!!!!!!
Woahhh soooooooo excited 🤯🤯🤯
I m hyped to see
This game gives off such a nostalgic feeling. Spending hours hiding in lockers because you're worried the Alien is lurking around every corner. Good times.
Such a good horror game. Seriously scares the hell out of me, especially with harder difficulty playthroughs the Alien gets more and more relentless with it's hunt for you.
The worst part is too, the more time you spend in lockers, the more likely you are to be snooped out from them. The AI gets updated about your locker usage and so eventually the xeno figures out you're being a little bitch and comes and gets you, lmao.
“Hiding in lockers because you’re worried the Alien is lurking around every corner. Good times.” I don’t think you know what means lolol
I never got out of the locker lol rumor has it i'm still inside of one
i call this game "hiding under the table simulator" since that's all i did when playing it
I forgot how anxiety inducing this game is even just to watch.....
I can't play this game, man. I love the Alien universe but holy God this is the most anxiety inducing game. The only thing that is worse than this to watch is that hotel live-action video game John played recently. XD
@@maggiem6209 i've never had much problems with horror games, and I too already played alien back in the days and finished it
two days ago I decided to play it again with VR.
I get twitching hands and sometimes i have to close my eyes to catch breath and relax
this game is awesome and i hate it
@@maggiem6209 you have to play it man, it made me so anxious but the best kind
@@elijahgavin6706 Maybe if I can get a strap for my controller. I'm genuinely worried I'd throw it. XD
omg yes! Legit the robots terrify me more for now but I’m only 39 minutes in.

@@oliwermattsson1478 1:51:14
@@chaosarcanum oh okej thanks
the save function in this game is something I'd love to see be incorporated into so many games, it brings a nice sense of urgency/tension to the game
@Zach Comstock i politely disagree with that opinion thank you very much
@Eli yeah let's not- 😰😬
FNAF security Breach tried to do that but failed
@@newcinema4931 theres just not enough tension in the game for it to be a risky thing to do. usually it's a "THANK GOD its a fucking save" kind of feeling because the enemies go batshit for no reason and it gets so buggy because of rushed production.
imo the scariest part was the daycare because of how there was impending doom whenever you went out lol.
I love how passive aggressive John is
Passive???
@@ryteschaeffer4706 Aggressive???
John???
@@daixensorest is?
Excuuuuse you??
Three and a half hours of John? Hell yes count me in.

Pause
You know you can see him for even longer if you watch his streams.
@@ryteschaeffer4706 can't I wouldn't be able to fit it in my schedule, I only managed to finish this one by staying up way later than I should have.
I cant help but cringe when I read these comment sections
They emulated the original movie SOOO well in this game! Especially since alien/aliens are my favorite horror movies of all time
This game and the first 2 films are the only ones that matter.
I hope they do something similar to Blade Runner. The art style is very nice!!
You seen the DLC?
I feel like John would probably enjoy it.
@@DarkAttackYT retweet 👏🏼
@@parparparmesan6368 To bad Rutger Hauer passed away. Loved that guy's acting.
Would be amazing if he had been able to voice one of Roy's "Brother clones" but tell a story from his p.o.v. as a replicant going rogue, maybe triggering the "underground" being established.
Oh well.
This little maneuver is gonna cost us 3 hours
Hold.
But it’s necessary.

I love how salty John always is to his Twitch chat 😂

Nah I think it was the Zelda bashing for me
It makes me laugh because I hate those kind of people who belittle gamers for every shit like, "If you sooo much then why the fuck you're watching?"
This is the most underrated game ever. I will forever yearn for a sequel. They connected it to the movies so well, and its some of the best horror I’ve ever experienced. It deserved a sequel :(
Disney claims to he in the works on a sequel to Amanda Ripley's story. But creative assembly will not be producing it. Personally I think it's going to suck. Hard. Because Disney doesn't care about the people, only money. But that's my own opinion and I guess we'll see when it actually happens
Was it underrated? I thought everyone loved it.
@@peytonmac1131 It got a ton of attention at first, but interest seemed to waver pretty quikc and now its really got a cult following from what I can tell. Idk if its coz people's interest in the gameplay was short lived or if Alien games never really hold much sway in general.
There was a sequel. It... wasn't good.
@@littlekitsune1 wasn’t it a shitty multiplayer mobile game ? I think John played it with the GangTM but maybe that was a weird dream because I very vaguely remember it lmao
This is one of my favorite horror games ever released. I hate how IGN gave it such a low rating, this game is a gem 💎
dude you're talking about ign the one reviewers who give 100 to anything
I take IGN reviews with a grain of salt lmao
Listening to game journalists ratings is the last thing you should do. They can never be trusted,either because of being dumb,or being paid/told to rate accordingly.
@@user-jc1kq1qb5j The thing that really was my last straw was their Code Vein review where they proceeded to only play the demo and then say things about the game that were straight up not true
Nobody takes IGN reviews seriously anymore.
"Imagine going through all this just to live"
I felt this deep.
Yeah that's what she said
@@yeahthatkornel looll
I wish there were more horror games featuring aliens instead of the typical paranormal/disease-inflicted creatures because alien isolation is a great game.
I wish they would do something other than "Weyland-Yutani wants to infect people to obtain a bioweapon."
@@BwooHuraca I liked the simple greedy salvagers subplot in isolation (where they explain why the SOS signal was gone in Aliens).
Just some salvagers who run across lucrative weird wrecks in space or something.
Alien without direct involvement by WY where people just want to get the hell out of there once shit hits the fan.
You mean games like prey, system schock and control? In recent years after alien, the psychological horror sci-fi games have an increasing number of releases. If I would be allowed to guess it is due to them rarely relying on jumpscares, but dread, lore, and atmosphere to create horror.
@@fatalityin1 I've been getting bored of psychological horror games for awhile now. Idk maybe because they all start to feel the same and don't really do anything new. I've tried playing prey before but I wasn't really a fan of it, and as for the other games I can't comment because I haven't played those ones yet.
@@tami3456 Hmm, then you are more into scifi survival horror with a real threat where every enemy can mean death if not prepared? Though Alien isolation was a good mix of psycho and survival horror, if you rather like survival, the old system shock 2 and to some degree evil within 2 emulate that pretty good. Prey and control have survival horror too, but just on the highest difficulty. But for that you have to be masochistic because they were not intended to be played that way.
"Hey, wanna see something funny?" *throws molotov and dies*
I mean... It still came out funny whatever your original intent was lmao
"They're shooting at you! Are you gonna let them get away with that?"
(smug nodding) "That's what I thought"
Wholesome John head bobbing
I watched the whole Alien Isolation playthrough 7 years ago, I feel old...
I saw the original Alien movie. Death marches ever closer.
Same. I remember waiting for new episodes. It feels weird to realise it was so long ago.
What did it for me was the 20 years later remake of RE2, the first RE I ever played.
TFW you're the only guy in a room that knows what a Commodore 64 is...
I know how you feel, but 7 years is really nothing.
I'm glad I'm not the only one 😆 I just turned 31 & I feel like I'm getting old compared to everyone else watching lol
50:50 the "eliminate lice before it spreads" poster is SURELY to a nod to the lice outbreak in Alien 3 and i love it
We need that in middle schools though XD It's one of them rituals that every child goes through.
Normal difficulty offers a more genuinely scary experience since the Aliens AI is less predictable, the higher the difficulty the more aggressive the Alien is and the more predictable it becomes, as a result, on normal it’s behaviour is much more random.
Oh and players can save regardless of the aliens presence as the game is deigned to avoid locking you into a death loop, the alien spawns semi randomly after loading a save.
3:17:30 POV: you are watching John slowly turning into a xenomorph in a vent
John gloating triumphantly and then directly dying afterwards is absolute perfection
3½ hours? Let me grab some snacks and drinks and get myself incredibly comfy! You're getting the Lord of the Rings treatment, John! Let's go!
John mocking Amanda's weird ASMR-like acting gives me life. And I want that on record.
pog
The Alien AI of this game is interesting. It actually is done by having two AI machines, one is the Director AI which knows where you are at all times and feeds the Alien AI hints on where you are every now and then. Besides that, the Alien entity is "tethered" to you to a max distance, which is how it always hovers around your area. This is easily seen by using a cheat that makes your character "invisible" to the Director AI, since it makes the Alien entity stick to your ass on the vent stage (Offscreen) which can be seen with the motion sensor if you would make any sort of action that would mean the Alien AI finding you.
That's really cool! Thanks for the info!
You watched the "game makers toolkit" video too, huh?
That explains why the Xenomorph(Alien)is so damn terrifying in this game
The Alien at 1:11:43 is way too hyped about catching John😂
1:24:50 They way John is mimicking sneaking around has me in tears. 🤣 I just love how he mocks everyone in chat. Probably my favorite moment of this video so far. 🤣
Something I want to clarify is the Director AI in this game operates separately from the Alien's AI. And despite knowing where the player is, it will sometimes assess the player, and if it sees there hasn't been much "action" happening to the player it will tell the Alien which area the player is in, though not the exact location (cuz this would be unfair and RNG otherwise). This is to keep the tension high. This excludes the Alien's appearance during cutscenes of course.
Also, the game initially locks the Alien's abilities, such as searching in lockers and under tables, and then later unlocking them as the player has more experience and gear; to create the feeling that the Alien is adapting to the player's playstyle.
It does learn too, if you choose lockers all the time itll tend to only look in lockers and visa versa with the geurneys
@@shazzaisdabest1 In the early stages it won't look in lockers. I can guarantee you that. I can't pin-point exactly which chapter it starts searching in lockers but during the very early stages it won't.
1:10:32 don't mind me, just leaving a time stamp for my favorite moment that had me cackling
That is astounding
There is NO REASON that should have worked, let alone that well! That's a tight sphincter moment if ever there was one, on par with when Markiplier was playing and the xenomorph walks INTO THE SAME ROOM, Mark is in the open visibly freaking out, and it turns in EXACTLY the right way that it doesn't see him and the tail doesn't touch him! Again, it SHOULD NOT have worked, but God looked down and felt briefly sorry for them.
Absolutely stellar
I dont know why but Johns "get a hobby" line at 1:21:00 really spoke to me.
A few hours into this game the magic of fearing alien turns into being annoyed.
It’s like you knew I was having the shittiest day in the world and gave me a 3 hour video to watch while I binge eat crunchy Cheetos. Thanks, John lmao
@@evewhoo I think ice cream Would be better
Are... Are there other Cheetos besides crunchy???
@@TheReZisTLust Yea
Damn your account is ancient
a game made almost *7 years ago* has No Business looking this good
This game really did look incredible when it came out.
2:27:00 - “You wanna see something funny?” Dead
That was funny, thank you 💖
This game is only 7 years old and it's still the scariest horror game ever made. No questions asked.
AMNESIA. No questions asked.
@@rottenvale4839 Except most of the creature's appearances are scripted. But Amnesia does come second.
@@DarkAttackYT for a 2010 game they did a great job like the sounds, the footsteps you hear as if someone were watching you in the castle and much more, all this made it a scary game and for me it is the first in a horror game.
Nothing surpasses Darkwood for me.
Might honestly be PT for me, even if it's not a full game. Or 1st Amnesia
What a fucking coincidence. I just started watching your old Alien Isolation playthrough about 3 nights ago having no clue you were playing it in the meanwhile. And I even thought to myself "Wow it'd be awesome if John replayed again at some point" = Wish answered.
I started replaying the game cuz it was free on epic games recently and now John is making a video on it. Great timing!
idk why but John mimicking Ripley with the access tuner made me die laughing so hard
16 hours of stream time condensed in to 3 and 1/2 hours? You're a fuckin savage John. Gotta say, your original playthrough of this game was great because of how tense you were throughout
John sassing his chat and talking shit about BOTW will never get old 😂 even if I am a fan of it, shit’s funny dude
I am a Sally so I watch everyone else play scary games, I can barely get through watching sometimes. For some reason I rented this game and as scary as it was, I played it alone in the dark and finished it in three nights. I couldn't put it down and I loved it so much. It was so freaking scary and I beat it! I was able to then play re7, I still can't do re2 remake because Mr X chasing me with the thumping foot steps is too scary still. I'm so glad when you revisit old games!! I've been following for years and your videos make me so happy 😊
Yeah, Alien Isolation gets pretty tedious with how the Alien always seems to be right on you. There's a really good mod that makes the Alien move more naturally through areas and makes Alien segments feel more suspenseful because the Alien isn't always psychically following you.
The alien should always be practically right on you as it’s consistent with its hunting capabilities
@@elijahgavin6706 That shit isn't fun. And if it's hunting capability were so good it's just kill you instead of following you around on a 5 foot leash.
@@TimtheWinzard keep in mind he’s playing on hard mode. The happy medium between the actual Alien from the movies and having a game that is playable is, in my opinion, the way this game works
@@elijahgavin6706 Still a bad thing regardless.
@@llamadelreyii3369 then play on bitch baby mode if you want the alien to stay in a corner the entire game lolll
23:59 still breaks my damn heart every time. I liked that guy. That murdering, thieving survivalist guy.

29:25 when john turns into seinfield "You can't throw the flARes?!" 😂😂😂
I was looking forward to RE 8, but damn if this isn't a VERY pleasant surprise. Can't wait until you reach the medical wing.
I'm glad to see that you had SO MUCH difficulty on the "Access Tuner" part as well. I started playing the game for myself just the other day, starting on Hard mode. And Oh My God, the AI is OP.
Good luck on Nightmare then. Not only is the AI boosted more but you motion tracker is busted.
It's funny bc in my experience, hard mode has a more aggressive alien but it's still dumb lol. Amount of times I got away with couching behind half a doorway with a table a little ahead of me and the alien looks at me or just walks past without seeing me haha
Your first playthrough of this in 2014 is how I found your channel. Feels really nostalgic seeing you play it again.
1:11:43 that alien glitch was amazing 🤣🤣
This was not the first playthrough of yours I watched but I have such a soft spot for it that I still have to rewatch the original every so often. I'm so happy you're revisiting this again.
never thought you'd replay this, but here we are 7 years later...
‘Anyone who smokes cigarettes is depressed’ Cut me deep John 😭 so true 😭😩😭😩😂
Oh god,no,that is not true
@@user-jc1kq1qb5j I’m talking about myself 😟
John's comment about nothing happening was hilarious. I always had the idea of some horror game set in an office, and the whole game you're doing your job and waiting for something to happen, only to realize that the real horror is that you're stuck in a dead end job.
Johns sassiness in this stream was everything
It must have took a lot of effort to edit this video, really appreciate it!
Its a live stream
@@notoriousbig3k yeah but it’s obviously still edited???
I keep coming back to this video time and time again. This is my TH-cam equivalent of a comfort movie
In which a tall dark stranger invites John and friends over for dinner
Its weird but it doesn't even feel like this game was out that long ago...
Every single Axel that I've met in my life has been an asshole, glad to see it still rings true even in a game. lol
This must have been a bitch to edit
Feaking love you John
This game was so stressful half the time I hide
1:11:44 LMFAO, he triggered the alien to the point that it SHOOK
LMAOOOOOOO bro he was triggered so bad he starting glitching in game rage LOL
"Wanna see something funny"
*Lights self on fire and dies while being ironic*

I was just thinking about watching an old letsplay of this. Thank you John, for sparing me from watching old youtubers scream constantly at nothing and bad quality everything.
29:15 - The best part of the game... John trying to hide and avoid detection by lighting a flare and throwing it down at his feet. Twice! lol
I’m so glad you’re posting these on TH-cam, I saw the vods on twitch and they were the funniest thing ever 🤣
I NEVER CLICKED SO FAST ON A VIDEO AWOOOGA

Ok
you and me both, bud, we aboutta fuck this theatre UP im SO EXCITED
john gonna upload RE V soon, stay toon.
Your pfp makes this so much better-
I DIDNT REALIZE SAMUELS WAS A ROBOT UNTIL HE DIED WTF
All this hiding in lockers reminds me of high school
wow alien isolation came out in 2014?! i can't believe how quickly time passes ToT
First time I played this game (on easy) I got so scared I ended up waking my husband at 3 am by my screaming. Bless him he came running down the stairs stark naked ready to save me from whatever real life situation I was facing only to discover I was playing a video game. He was not best pleased
"The access tuner" bit has got me dying.
Edit: When John is blasting the xenomorph with the flamethrower, it somehow reminds me of spraying a pet with a squirt bottle.
John complains about the alien coming every 6 seconds, but he's also walking and not crouching as soon as it jumps into a vent, which it can hear. It'll also adapt depending on how often you hide and where you hide (IE in a vent or in a locker constantly).
2:27:44 John talking about Nintendo owners and their passion for Breath of the Wild made me literally cackle! All my siblings are Nintendo Stans and do that over Zelda games. It's absolutely ridiculous 😂😂😂
THNX FOR THE TIME STAMP
I mostly use switch for terreria & whatever new stuff comes out
Playing this is scary as hell . It’s one of my favorite survival horror games that isn’t resident evil
I’ve always played this game on Normal and seeing Hard difficulty makes the Alien so much more active I noticed, holy shit.
This game was awesome!
My biggest issue was how glitchy and stiff the human npc's acted at points

It’s hilarious when John gets caught just as he’s about to hide. And also when he doesn’t get caught when he totally should have 😂 like at 1:10:36
A blast from the past. I've really enjoyed the stream whenever I got the chance to watch live.
I still remember the "Solomon's Sluts" gag!
Fun fact; despite the Alien's great AI, it does also have a very rudimentary tethering system where it follows you in a very close radius. You can most easily see this if you play the "Last Survivor" mode on Nightmare where the Alien stays suuuper close to you at all times, making it very hard to sneak away towards the objective.
This can changed with a mod where it makes the Alien's AI trickier and more unpredictable, while also making it more fair and fun. Would recommend downloading that mod for a more fun experience overall.
OMG, I'm wheezing and crying with laughter so hard, and it's only an hour and a half in, John you are such an on point sarcastic asshole, pointing out the assholes in chat, I LOVE IT
Isolation released in 2014? This aged *really* well.
i've never been so happy with an upload
who’s in your pfp?
All of these characters are so sweaty. 😅
I was so sad about missing the 20 hour stream. And honestly i was never gonna get thru that vod so thank you for your hard work cutting it down ☺️
Love John's "my vent, my vent!"
John's rants mid videos, especially in tense situations where he doesn't hold back with the snarkines, are my favourite parts of his playthroughs. Not just funny, but sociologically spot on.
This is the scariest and most terrifying game of all time, I really enjoyed every minute of it
Really appreciated this, looking forward to the next entry to the "I replayed" series coming up.
I really should watch the Alien movies 🤔
Just the first 2. 2 of the best movies ever made!
John, your sarcasm is soup for my soul…thank you for the laughs!
3 and half hours of content. i got my snacks. i'm ready. les goooooo.
The only bad thing about this game is the voice acting for Ripley, literally sounds like she's just reading from a script

"I will take a quick break, I need water?"
"Erm, but, I'll leave it unpaused for a couple of minutes."
