    • @VexAcer

      Which makes sense. Devs spend so much time with the game themselves that they'll naturally learn & memorize everything without trying. They already know every ambush that's going to happen or wherever any ammo is secretly stockpiled. So of course it appears really easy and they crank the difficulty to compensate. Only now it's uber-hard for any normal person going in for the first time.

      I didn't really have this problem with Alien: Isolation and the Aliens: Eradication TC for Doom. That's probably because in both, you have a motion tracker and the facehuggers would screech before coming at you. So there's some advance warning to prevent you from getting killed by them.

      I've seen so much gameplay footage of people who do things like hold full auto while aiming at the alien's feet, or burn an entire laser clip to kill 2 aliens when it's possible to kill them both using less than a quarter of the clip.
      In addition to your shotgun trick excellent shotgun tip, I have a couple of my own.
      1. Aim for the head, it does anywhere from 2 to 4 times as much damage.
      2. Trigger finger discipline. The "short controlled bursts" line is to be taken literally (for example, a laser clip holds 40. 2 of that is enough to crack a reinforced crate).
      The laser rifle is specifically put in stage 2 only to teach you this concept.
      3. If you're on a controller, turn the stick dead zone to zero. Playing with stick deadzone is like playing with mouse acceleration, it fucks up your aim something fierce.

    Going by what I’m seeing of this video, you might like a Doom mod called Aliens Eradication. It doesn’t have the limited draw distance (although levels are still very dark), but it still has great horror atmosphere, especially playing as the colonist.
    EDIT:it also uses a lot of sprites from Alien Trilogy.

    Fun fact: Due to censorship issues, The Human Enemies where completely removed from the German PAL version of Alien Trilogy. I only found out that there where human enemies in the game when I emulated an NTSC version of the game a few years ago. Usually the 90s and early 2000s censorship of videogames in Germany led to dogshit results but in this case removing human enemies enhanced the gameplay experience by a lot imo.

The two aliens games "Trilogy" and "resurrection" are suprisingly my favorite alien video games of all time with "aliens vs predator" coming in right at no.2. Extra note: "Alien Resurrection" graphics do improve quite a bit if you play it on the backward compatible playstation 2.

    The best tip for success in Alien Resurrection
    Aim for the head
    Headshots do crazy damage (up to double damage I think) and can really allow you to stock up on pulse rifle ammo early on. My first time playing through the game, I struggled incredibly, especially on levels 6 and 7, but when I replayed it on easy and hard, I found ammo to not be a problem, granted the game was still hard.

    Awesome video, Gman. I am planning to buy a copy of Alien Trilogy. Have owned Resurrection for sixteen years and always have problems getting past a particular door in Level 3 - which brings me to an important point - if you play Resurrection on anything higher than a PS2, compatibility issues mean that some doors won't open. I played mine on a PS3. Also some audio cues don't play. Best to play Resurrection on a PS2 but make sure you have a PS1 memory card since the game doesn't recognise PS2 memory cards.

    • @milesipka

      I have since bought a copy of Alien Trilogy and played both that and Alien Resurrection on my PS2 (after getting a PS1 memory card just for those games) in a row. They're both now included in my "favourite games" list, although I just used cheats for both games. It made Alien Trilogy a kickass experience and was absolutely essential for Resurrection.
