I dont trust IGN

Oh well we knew this was a possibility. It's not the end of the world for me anyway. With Shadow of Mordor and Drive club (provided that doesn't turn out like this) to buy I was already over stretching my funds. Looks like I might be able to use this to bridge a gap in decent games releases later on, when hopefully it's come down in price a little.

reviewer is a pansy, this game feels like you are in the friggin movie!

After Colonial Marines, my expectations were low. This is a gamefly rental at best

Cant say ive seen anything that puts me of the game and if it aint to hot ill trade it in next week for The Evil Within.(5.9 nahhh more like a 7.5/8)

I'm still getting it day 1. I think the "verdict" was harsher than what was actually said in the article itself. Obviously not Ryan's cup of tea.
I wonder if the DLC will be tweaked or be catered based on the type of responses after the game is released?

It sounds like anything, he sucks at the game, hence why he's bashing it. What an idiot, IGN and their terrible reviews.

I dont care, im still picking this up. IGN can suck a fat xenomorph tongue.

Hmm, ahh well........Steam sale then.

I never had any interest in this game but the way things are looking, a rental would be worth it along with more "research."
Also complaining about game length? Next up it'll be too short, finishing in 2 hours.

Probably the first time I ever remember seeing IGN have the lowest score.

Its probably not far off the mark. Seen other reviews and they're only giving it a 7.

Creative Assembly don't make games like this often, they develop strategy games for the PC, and they've not made a game for console for years. They should just stick to what they're good at.

There is all kinds of reviews around.. Looks like a good horror game to me! Can`t wait to try this game myself in 4 days.

Well, it's getting 79 on Metacritic now.

i had no faith in this outlast clone in alien skin, knew it wouldnt be great.

I'm going to play it anyway, its my kind of game. Average is actually good enough for me, I play alot of average games as I like to explore genres and enjoy the experience.

Am going to buy this game no matter what the haters say. Am going to try and complete in a week and then trade it in for the evil within, with a pair of my freshly soiled pants.

Sounds like ign didn't like it because it was too hard and frustrating.

The review scores for this game are so diverse...
Seems like you have to play it for yourself to know if you like it or not...

Reviews never stop me from buying a game...

Strange, it did work for Amnesia, didnt it ?

i have xbox 360 i tested this game out for bout 5 hours last nite cuz after colonial marines game i was making sure i wasnt forking 60 over forn other trash alien game.

thoughtsso far its uncertainity that scares u once u get accustomed for seeing alien few times scares u get imho r not scares your just predicting it darkhallways and crap moving out the oridinary is scares.

over all i rate this 8 out of 10 high 8 would i pay full price for it day 1 nope does it suck nope it not worth 60 bux if i was blown away yes but it is good return to roots ill wait till 45 dollar price tag if i was yall or lower

:(. I still would really like to try out this game.

Typical. Gamers. Judging the game by a score as usual.

Mixed reviews so far. I'm gonna check it on Playstation Live and decide try it or not.

I'm still going to play it regardless of reviews.

But i'm loving Shadow of Mordor. Awesome game.

If you rely on IGN you might as well rely on Fox News or CNN for your Gaming Reviews

Everyone couldn't believe it when Aliens: Colonial Marines got panned. It still sold well because people didn't believe the big sites, they so desperately held onto the few ok reviews from the no name sites and the game ended up selling well even though it was garbage. This looks like the exact same thing will happen, people just don't want to believe the game sucks. Why would two reputable reviewers from two big sites lie(IGN & Gamespot)? What's their motivation?

I have predicted this game will be a frustration, I said it's OK if it lasts 2 hours, but 15~20 hours long? it's a disaster.

And I've seen other sites giving the game an 8 or 9.

At the end of the day reviewers are just human. If they don't like the game they will give it low scores.

After seeing other reviews and watching that pewdiepie playing it on youtube I've seen enough to know I will like the game. Although I may be biased as Alien and Aliens are my favourite movies of all time.

Reviews don't stop me from buying my games, ign was never good at reviewing games (can't count how many games they gave low scores to that turned out to be really great games that sold good etc..).

I just read the Eurogamer's review, IGN is a joke.

As much as I love Alien and Aliens and that whole universe I was afraid this game was going to come down to this. IGN looks like it was confirming what I thought was the case. Since I'd seen the first footage I don't think it would be fun to run around and backtrack for hours and hours on end. Hide and seek would get so old. Maybe if this had some action elements other than fighting androids here and there.

A real shame, the game looks incredible to any Fan of the movie.

IGN messed up big time reviewing this game. Kinda makes me wonder where they get their reviewers from.....

they should have thrown in shooter sections it would have got good scores.

BTW do we know what resolution the game is running at?

Remember folks, you can't spell ignorance without IGN. ;)

In all seriousness though, the review is terrible. It makes good sounding things sound bad.

The Xenomorph being generally unscripted sounds/looks awesome - because it's not as scary if you think you know when and where the Xenomorph will strike, constantly being on the edge is what makes a survival horror.

As for the length, it sounds like they're making it out to be a bad thing. 15-20 hours of gameplay for a modern non-RPG game is excellent, especially as some publishers like to chop games down and sell parts of it as DLC. Granted, we have the Ripley and Nostromo DLC, but that's not part of the main story.

I booked a day off work for this and I can't wait.

Most not have paid them enough

Regardless of review i am still gonna get this.

ign are c%$%s.. i mean 5.9??? seriously??? could they really not of found it in themselves to give it a 6?

Still buying the game I love the alien franchise ;)

kind of disappointing reviews.... hmm. anyone play it?

Obviously they didn't throw money at IGN for a good review.

cant believe people care so much that ign gave this game a bad review.

if you yourself enjoy the game thats all that matters.

Everyone knows IGN are fucktards..

You know I usually trust IGN reviews because usually what they rate high or low I agree with, by personally playing the game of course, but I don't think I'm going to listen to this review, definitely going to rent the game through GameFly but it's just an odd variation seeing 9 ratings and then seeing IGN's medicore rating.

I personally don't like the lack of self defense... Personally to me its Outlast skinned with Aliens... Not worth $60 to me...

Thank God for the early streamers on ps4. They saved me $63.00. This game looks insanely boring. It's the same hide n seek bs as Outlast. You can even hide in lockers until the enemy goes away. What excitement!

i preordered because of ign

It's beating Destiny on metacritic.

LOL

I saw someone play it earlier and say it was like Outlast Alien edition. I am sold.

And I have a jacket potato so you know I can be trusted.

LOL they mad ?! Alien Isolation deserves at least 8/10 personally i would give it 8.5/10 and this is only few hours playing at a friend... for all alien(s) franchise fans out there this is a must try, cant wait to play it on my PC :D

I was able to pick up my copy early, thx to my local mom and pop game shop! About an hour or so into it on PS4 and I am pretty impressed so far with the whole feel of it! Game is mostly positive across the board with 8s and 9s, so don't listen too much to ign. The reviewer stated his negatives because he played it on hard difficulty, which caused alot of deaths and frustration. His own fault, so don't bash the rest of the game because of your mistake! This is not the typical norm of a game.

It definately feels like the first Alien movie. I think they might have finally nailed it for once. I have not seen the alien yet, but man the tension and build up of stealthing around with creepy atmosphere and soundtrack is awesome!

It's what made the first Alien movie so classic. People looking for COD style gameplay need to look elsewhere! This game is all about tension! I'm digging it so far and graphics are some of the best this gen. 9/10 without a doubt!

Never liked the sound of this game, when I found out only ONE Alien would be hunting the player, it sounded instantly boring.... I just wish they would hand development to a truly kicka$$ talented developer, & stick to the action fps formula that the bets games in this IP's history has spawned....
Make another Aliens vs Predator, for multiplayer, BUT, add awesome single player campaigns for both species & possibly marines... Each campaign would only need to be 6-7hrs, & that coupled with some awesome Alien vs Predator vs Marine, with a fair balanced feel, would kick serious butt for me..

it's ok SEGA just forgot to send the likes of IGN. Gamespot and Polygon the check for a good score or some ad revenue.

I knew this game would be garbage, I said it months ago.

The days of decent single players are over. You can't play a scary game when it quickly becomes 'boring'.

They should of offered full online support to up the difficulty and offered a co-op of 2 players make each other work together to open doors by spliting them up or both need to meet up and tackle the spaceship area at different points etc.

You can still create a single player experience with the help of friends online you just needed to split them all up for most of the gameplay whilst talking to each other.

Just finished watching the review and to be honest, IGN did the opposite and convinced me to buy the game. Just pre-ordered it now, can't wait for next week.

The cons don't even sound that bad. Frustrating alien AI is a good thing because the humans aren't supposed to stand a chance against a Xenomorph. And who ever complained about a game being too long!
