Aliens: Dark Descent PS5 Review Patch 1.08 

Killzone Tactics OMG .....what great idea, that lift auto save is genius ! is there anything further on the kidnapping mechanic ? And what an amazing comment, thank you for the detail !

@@CouchCoop128 Kidnapping just kills a character if you don't rescue them in time. Having a Sniper is the way to go. If you have characters that generate additional action/refresh points and reduced alien awareness, then you can stealth whole areas with one shot sniper kills. If you like stealth then it is an option and really helps keep your squad from stressing out.

its a worthy addition to the other 2 games, I'm also currently playing Helldivers 2 and man.....its good! cheers for comment dude !

Yeah RTS and tactic based games work much better on PC

@@prawnyb yes definitely 👍

they need to make a full local co-op twin stick like the Ascent right, would be awesome

once the aliens spot you there's about 50 things you need to take on board 🤣 ! Its a good Aliens game, loved the queen fight, appreciate the comment 🙏

@CouchCoop128 completed the game and was alot more fun thanks to your tips. Your right as your marines become experienced, the alien threat is manageable. Spent of of the time near the end just mowing them down. I lost one marine on the entire campaign and that was due to a losing a deployment and having to make a choice. Overall a great game and a defo worth a replay considering you can keep your marines from the old save with levels in tact. Cheers buddy. Your guide was an asset to me.

@@AudioBotnik Appreciate the response and glad you enjoyed things, remind me, what system were you on ? (I've lost more than one marine)

If you liked Breath of the Wild, you're gonna love Elden Ring. It's like BOTW for grown ups. More un out down able tbh

Elden Ring is amazing - you are in for a treat!

what a great comment Julius, thank you 🙏

What game are you playing now. I can't find my Alien Dark descent disc> Lol.

@@williamgregg6339 Helldivers 2

It honestly didn’t effect me playing on ps5. The marines AI going a little rouge was more of a problem at times. Definitely worth a look though if you like turn based tactical games and the Aliens universe, especially if discounted.

@@jimmyb79 and so it is on sales and i got it… wish me luck!

Had you seen that AI stuff before and cheers for comment jimmy!

@@CouchCoop128 Id not seen the AI stuff before, looked pretty good though. I quite liked some of the concept art for the Alien 5 film that never got made. Hicks looked cool with the scared face.

@@jimmyb79 the bumkamp stuff ? was awesome, soz for late reply

I'm fascinated by it, the flowing image, i feel it was Gigers end game? are you a fan of his art and thanks for calling my content garbage 🤣

Im going to see it on Sunday, I will put some content out about it yes ! have you seen yet ?

No not yet.... I'm a huge fan of the series... Especially the first 2 of course... I even liked the 3rd one.. the 4 was meh.... Prometheus was frustrating because it could have been so much better.....it's another one of those frustrating movies series they just pounded into the dirt... My outlook as changed from I hope.this move is good to I hope it doesn't suck....

​@@7450gwar101 "the 4 was meh" Oh, boy... Not because of your opinion but because - no spoilers - Anyways, I did enjoyed Romulus. It does have some great cinematography here and there, and some cool and even inventive Alien action for sure. And at least it brought the series back to basics. To the more serious and intimate tone of Alien/Alien 3. Not perfect, but close enough. It did felt more like it took heavy inspirations from the Novels primarily. And that main character even kinda looks like Elizabeth Winstead, which in turn looks like she could play Amanda Ripley - Ellen Ripley's daughter - on account of how close she resembles Sigourney Weaver. Google Elizabeth Winstead movie 'Kate' to see how she could absolutely play Ripley's daughter. Especially while wearing that Green Jacket. I wouldn't mind this director making it a Trilogy and see where he leads the franchise. At least it wasn't the cluster fudge that Prometheus and Covenant were. So there's that.

apologies 🤣

@@CouchCoop128 accepted 👍

I actually play Diablo 4 on a pad through choice ! I would prefer this on a mouse though, when things get in a panic, those short cuts are well confusing, appreciate the view and comment 🙏

@@CouchCoop128 yeah diablo 4 is possible on controller. Item management might take longer. But the combat isn't impacted like the actual gameplay. I have wasteland 2 on ps4/ps5, and it is hard to play with using controller too many commands using a controller to move each character is not smooth. I also have wasteland 2 on pc, and it feels perfect to control. I'm just worried that all the glowing reviews for aliens dark descent are based on pc version. Or people who have never played on pc and don't know the difference between mouse and keyboard vs controller. A few reviews with controller say it's workable because you are controlling the whole squad as a unit and not individually. Unlike a true turn based tactical game like xcom (even though I see positive reviews for it on console) or games like wasteland 2 This concern is the main reason that I am hesitant to buy this game on ps5. And you're one of the few reviewers who reviewed the console version. If you can add any extra details about how it controls on controller, I'd appreciate it. Is it tedious to use an analog stick to command them to move? Are the shortcuts also cumbersome? I was thinking that maybe since you control the team as "one character" instead of individually, it might be functional on controller? My "gaming" laptop was a piece of crap back then and can't even handle the games it barely ran anymore. So I'm a console peasant at the moment until I can buy a real gaming pc (never get a "gaming" laptop waste of money, costs more, and is weaker)

Descent is ok on the controller, just. once the brain has mapped everything. then when things go south you don't screw up, it does feel like the meta game is designed for a mouse though, I play Halo wars 2 on a pad, that game feels like the controller was taken into account, Descent would run on a gaming laptop? im pretty sure, you should get Dawn of war 2 going 🤣🙏 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7WjCjxkD2Qc.html

@@CouchCoop128 my "gaming laptop" could barely run diablo 3 and fallout new vegas when I got it in 2015. Nvidia 850M (that M) makes it weaker than Nvidia 260 gtx. I got scammed by the Frys salesman that it could play today's games because the number was high like the regular Nvidia back then. So you're saying once you get used to the controls on controller, the gameplay becomes manageable? By going south you mean not getting the hang of the controls on controller or did you mean even if you Map the controls in your brain during heavy combat, it'll still go south aka bad? Or once you learn the controls it's fine. Not outstanding like mouse and keyboard but manageable? Sorry for repeat, you're one of the few reviewers that reviewed using console. So I'm very interested in your take

yep, and this is all medium footage !

it was longer, but you get my point ! cheers for early comments ambassador Prawny

Have you tried Gears Tactics?

@CouchCoop128 same haircut as Gabe Diaz.

i agree with this, its not going to end well for the traditional artist also
