I love Isolation and quite like this game. I only wish there was a game that blended the two styles. You can kill the aliens but direct fighting isn't always the best approach. You should be armed but the xenos must still be terrifying to face.
@@connorbennett1517 Just up Fireteam Elite's difficulty and that's it. That way they become harder to kill and deal WAY more damage, although they actually do a lot of base damage anyways. Xenomorphs, no matter their caste, aren't invincible. The thing about xenomorphs is that they are at their most terrifying when you're unarmed or poorly armed, or are massively outnumbered and overwhelmed in a confined space. Colonial Marines can clear most xeno hives with few casualties, using superior equipment, honed tactics from previous encounters with the bug freaks, and just keeping a cool head. Generally the worst case scenario for any military/security group to fight xenos, is when its unexpected and they come face to face with the bugs unprepared. In that case its usually a wholesale slaughter. Even with such incidents though just weeks, or even hours later, a prepared team goes back in the now identified hive and kills them all. Another good game to try, if you have a PC, or still have a Xbox 360 or PS3 kicking up dust, is AvP from 2010. FANTASTIC game, and you get to see how, mostly realistically (from a story standpoint), how a conflict from the perspective of all 3 sides in the expanded universe would go out.
I want another AVP game, cuz thats how it was for me. Predator gameplay gave power fantasy vibes, human gameplay gave horror vibes, and xeno gameplay gave stealthy assassin vibes. Such an underrated game, would love a sequal

So I was in a car crash yesterday and everything fucking hurts like hell, and seeing you upload has already made my day better and I know the laughs it’ll bring will hurt my sides but will be well worth the good memory.
@@jrmuthan2481 it’s all good nothing pain killers can’t fix, besides I got friends and family around so it’s not like I’m just alone dealing with it all.
This game was SO much better than expected. still rough in a lot of areas (i see you matchmaking -.-) but its so fun with friends. Just had its season 1 update drop too, so new class and weapons. Cant wait until jay discovers heavy flamer and his teamates regret showing him this game.
I love how much I relate to this man's panicked monkey sounds. I played killing floor 2 vr with some of my friends and I go full ape when a horde charges us and im alone
What about the Aliens v.s. Predator game on the 360? I loved the 3 campaigns, where you play as a marine, xenomorph, or a predator. I still have it, and play it once in awhile.
I start rewatching this, and as soon as the words "I haven't heard the oboe in awhile..." come out of his mouth, lightening strikes right nexg to my house.
4:02 reminds me of a moment I had in Deep Rock Galactic(coop bug shooter, best described as mix of Left 4 dead coop, combat of Doom, procedurally generated caves of minecraft). I've got a bug alert, but don't see anyone. I then place a turret, that immediately starts shooting up. I raise my head, and see the cealing covered in bugs, which quickly crawl towards me. That was scary
@@unnoticed4571 same or even better “whack o’ heretic” and it’s a group of captured chaos space marines without helmets running around trying not to get shot by the angry Cadian survivor
me: watches video "imagine if in aliens during that hive scene when the first xenomorph pops out, three marines just turn to see it and proceed to curb stomp it like it just came to the wrong side of the hood or something...that movie would have been a LOT funnier then..."
7:06 That combat roll he did to try and avoid the alien, reminded me of that fan 40k video. 30k heresy, shorter scene where a Chaos Space Marine is chasing a civvie and a guard.

I absolutely LOVE the pump shotgun in this game. The semi-auto shotgun is good too, if the xenos are so belligerent and numerous that you can't get by with the slower fire rate of the pump action. But in the vast majority of cases, the pump action is king. It's so satisfying, hits hard, and can fire relatively fast.
They do JUST that in quite a few scenes in Aliens 2 ya know. Also have you read ANY of the Comics? (Plus, wouldn't be a Colonial Marine fantasy without the Xeno hordes!)
@@strangewolf1261 They did it in Alien 2 in an attempt to test the defenses of where they had barricaded themselves. They stopped when they realized they couldn't get past the turrets, and when they did, they went somewhere else none of the people expected. They swarmed, but they had a plan when they did. No, I have not read the comics. Are they canon to the movie franchise?
@@Andreazor Aye. Agreed. Never said Xenos are dumb. Many a man, machine & Yautja have fallen making that underestimation. Just saying that relentless swarming is par for the course with e'm. As for the comics... There are a FEW that are directly related to the films. But most (imo the best ones.) Are basically self contained narratives that expand & explore the Aliens (& Predator!) universe. One of my favs among e'm is AVP "Three World War"! Totally recommend a read if ya ever get the chance.
Plus, I know the Xeno AI is more than a bit dumb sometimes.... but honestly you'd be surprised by how quickly they can catch you off guard especially in higher difficulty where that Yellow outline thing doesn't work while Aiming down sights! Damn bugs blend into the environment (ESPECIALLY in the Hive) extremely well.
The pump shotgun can also get a mod that causes an explosion with each headshot. Combine that with the ability that increases fire rate, and you have a man portable war crime.
Now that you mention the vibe of what if the colonial marines busted out full sprint with a shotgun, I cant stop myself from immediately thinking of the han solo scene in star wars where he's chasing after a single stormtrooper while screaming, just replace Han solo with a xenomorph and the stormtroopers with colonial marines.
Personally, aside from Alien Isolation, one really good game set in the Aliens/Predator universe isn't even an actual game but rather a MOD for Doom. Aliens Eradication just has that right blend of atmospheric tension and cathartic bloodshed to me.
I like how we have both the "locked in a room with it" and "it locked in a room with me" in Alien games. It is nice to be both hunter and hunted.
I love Isolation and quite like this game. I only wish there was a game that blended the two styles. You can kill the aliens but direct fighting isn't always the best approach. You should be armed but the xenos must still be terrifying to face.

Glad you're still with us, bro.
Aliens isolation, such a great game that will likely never get a sequel
Done by a company that has done predominantly rts games
it shouldn't get a sequel it would end up being a let down most likely let it be
Probably for the best cause sequels frequently suck, unfortunately.
It did get a sequel.
@@andrewkwilliams4869 and it sucked
OMG the simultaneous gasp of terror at 7:37 killed me.
8:24 That synchronization of switching guns at the same time was epic
9:00 the deploy-Steve event had me in bits lmao
8:13 would be that one scene with Han solo chasing down a stormtroopers in the deathstar.
The fact that Jay has read Armor, my favorite Sci-fi book, makes me extremely pleased.
Me too :3
Seeing you get covered in flame at 3.37 AM was literally just *"Flashbang, through the door!"*
Meleeing a xeno is the equivalent of trying to put out a fire with gasoline; there's clearly a better option but this is just gonna make things worse
It's like putting out a pan fire with water. It /might/ work, but it'll /probably/ just make stuff worse.
*Certified war hammer 40k moment*
On the other hand, if a Xeno is about to pounce on you, you can melee it and cancel out its attack. It's all in the timing.
"I feel that the recon drone makes things worse" and seeing all those red outlines appear. Sometimes it's best not to know.
2:45 this has me crying the audio is perfect.
This game was SO much better than expected. still rough in a lot of areas (i see you matchmaking -.-) but its so fun with friends. Just had its season 1 update drop too, so new class and weapons. Cant wait until jay discovers heavy flamer and his teamates regret showing him this game.
Jay grab the flamer. the *Heavy flamer*
Soon season 2 as well
You can tell that the developers legitimately love the Alien franchise and put their hearts and souls into this game to honor said franchise.
Love the Armor reference. Feels appropriate to the Alien universe.
3:24 That Alien is so powerful it has E1M1 as its theme! RUN FOR IT!
I am so happy you found this game, and I'm even happier there's going to be a part two.

That "Deja vu" at 6:21 caught me so of guard I threw my phone across the room.
As a Kentuckian, I agree, how the hell did they take Kentucky?
Nobody had any shells with the price of fuckin ammo right now

fort benning took all the tanks from fort knox
Shells are very expensive
So many xenos invaded the State that every Kentuckian ran out of ammo.
