^ has not played alien isolation ^

[Arekan]

Neither would I want to. This 'horror scary' necessity in games lately is being milked out, even if it's not 100% jumpscare.

[Jubel]

Horror games are usually scary?

Clearly you don't understand what a survival horror game is. This game is pretty much all exploration and puzzle solving. Just while something chases you. There's not really much for jumpscares either; a monitor fizzles in the "safe level" at the beginning where you're in the boarding rooms.

The horror comes from the environment, not how many things flash on the screen for a frame.

[Arekan]

What I'm saying (and sorry, generalizing as jumpscare) is that there are too many horror games. I'd love for this to be some sort of free-roam game, and quite possibly if it was like a spaceship kindof game with the graphics of this. There aren't many of those, or any even released.

[Alkatjo]

Like seriously, you can't tell from watching any video that would justify this game as a jumpscare fest.
The Alien is in no way scripted for those type of events. Its literally its own thinking entity consisting of:

*Where should I go next?
*Is (player) in this room? Im going to look.
*Didn't find player? Maybe she is in the air ducts.
*Not there? Time to draw her out.

It repeats this cycle about 3 times before giving up and if it catches you in the same room you have no choice but to run and hide.
