Quoted from dpeck3:I have Stern Elvira HOH and jersey jack Willy Wonka LE, black knight, f-14 tomcat. All good games. All good flow. I hope nobody is mad, lol. Someone asked and i just gave my opinion. Its ok to have a different opinion. Its still a good game I think. Maybe I am misunderstanding it. How do you correct the flow?
I don't think anyone has to apologize about liking or not liking a game. "Flow" and "immersion" are probably 2 of the most overused phrases in our hobby though. Doubt anyone is "mad" you don't like the game (or even cares, really).
Alien is a unique, amazing game, and for me, it stands easily w (or above) any title you put it against (but that's just me). It is not, however, for someone who doesn't enjoy or feel comfortable working on one, as well as embracing a non-fan layout (just my opinion again). Playing different doesn't make a game bad. Some of your takeaways are accurate to a degree, while others I strongly disagree with (again, who cares). Can definitely say that in a dark room, by itself, the game absolutely brings you in like no other. The machine still blows me away.....
All machines break, need attention, and always things that could have been done better. Alien is no exception, except it got abandoned due to a poorly run company at the finish line.
Good luck on whatever you're choosing to pursue next.....
