The steam sale made me do it.
At last I bought the game and now I don`t want to play it, its too scary......
When I was a very much younger version of myself, my class went to London in 79, and I had some time on my hands, so I strolled through the town. I came to a long queue of people and thought by myself that queuing must really be a hobby of the English. I went on around a block and came to another queue, until I found out it was the same one, only it was running around the whole block.
This made me VERY curious, so I walked to the beginning of the queue and stood before a cinema (Odeon on Leicester square, biggest cinema in London) and there was the picture of a huge green egg, some 20m high on the front of the cinema, and it said A.L.I.E.N.
I looked at the pictures and found out it was a SF film, and I was huge SF film fan but I had never heard anything about that film. So I decided to dare and went to the end of the queue and after an amazingly short time (considering the length of the queue) I was in the cinema.
I found a very good place in a perfect position, only to be told that all places were reserved and my place number was printed on my ticket.... So I found myself in the top left corner of the theater seemingly hundreds of yards from the screen, but ok, I was in.
Then the movie started. And in the exact moment when the crew leaves the ship for the first time, I new I had a problem. ALIEN was one of the first Dolby surround flics, and my seat was directly below one of the cabinet sized speakers.. I think the storm on the planets surface it blew me right out of my seat.
The rest is movie history.. I was so captured by the film that I went back to the hostel, fetched my best friend and dragged him to the cinema, that was the only time in my life that I watched the same movie twice on one day. Needless to say that I enjoyed my friends reaction to the "special" scenes immensely....
Now to the game. When I say that Alien is the scariest movie I ever watched, then this is the scariest game I ever played, because its an exact recreation of the film (I played one of the DLCs that portray the movie). I found myself as Ripley in the cockpit of the small craft and could hear the deaths of my crewmembers via the radio. I played for five minutes and then I quit - its just amazing, a nightmare, where you do not watch the film, you are in the film.... or perhaps better, the film is in you.....
