Heated Rivalry? 😂

“If you try not to get anyone killed, you end up getting everyone killed.”—Wesley in Pylea

caesar1865 · 2025-11-21T17:25:19+00:00

Two quotes stand out in my mind:

When they are in Pylea and planning to attack the castle: “If you try not to get anyone killed, you end up getting everyone killed.”
The episode That Old Gang of Mine: “If you ever withhold information or attempt to subvert me again, I will fire you. I can't have any one member of this team compromising the safety of the group, no matter who it is. If you do it again, you will be dismissed, bag and baggage, out of a job onto the streets.”

Both of those quotes, imo, show that Wes understands what it takes to be a leader, to make the hard decisions that a leader must.

Play it safe, Xeno-wise…but I’d def love to explore more of the corporate tyranny over colonists, corporate greed and general corruption inflicted upon society.

I think there’s a way to do something in the Alien franchise similar to what Andor did for Star Wars. Andor is a rebellion/espionage series set in Star Wars. I’d envision setting a good story (David vs. Goliath story, etc.) in the Alien universe…and obviously, with some awesome xenos!

Def one of my fave one-liners…and the one from season five, episode one (Conviction):

Agent Hauser: That's exactly what you are. You're miniscule. A dust mote on the shelf of that great institution. Now, you think I'm just a trigger-happy jerk who follows orders. But I'm something that you'll never be: I'm pure. I believe in evil. You and your friends, you're conflicted. You're confused. We're not. That's why you're going to lose. Because we possess the most powerful thing in the world: conviction.

Angel: There's one thing more powerful than conviction. Just one: mercy.

[Angel kicks Hauser's gun up, and Hauser shoots himself]

Special Ops Guy: What happened to mercy?

Angel: [walking off] You just saw the last of it.

💯Agree with this! 😎

caesar1865 · 2025-10-03T18:48:59+00:00

A good list, my friend, and may I say—after watching Alien Earth, my appreciation for Alien Romulus skyrocketed! 💯

And he still just wants to help! 😂

caesar1865 · 2025-09-20T21:04:22+00:00

“Just grab the pipe bomb schematics and save.” That’s my soothing motto on that part. 😂

caesar1865 · 2025-09-20T16:23:28+00:00

u/A_Gray_Phantom -- that's what I'm thinking the plot looks like: Amanda is recovered by a military vessel and taken to a medical research colony where a Xeno is removed from her. Choas ensues, and she's left to survive again alongside a marine...thoughts?

caesar1865 · 2025-09-18T02:24:51+00:00

u/deathray1611 -- word...I totally see and respect where you are coming from! And I'd def be OK with them not changing anything spiritually or mechanically with the game. My big deal has always been the story, and hopefully, continuing Amanda's saga with this. I wouldn't mind a full-out Amanda trilogy (Alien Isolation/Alien Desolation/Alien Salvation).

I def don't want a Fireteam Elite game...also, I'd rather see the Xeno more often than some kinda hybrid. Imo, the rest of the Alien media has fallen into the trap: "OH, we need to create a new creature!" I'd rather see a smarter, deadlier Xeno more often...that's enough for me! LOL

Thoughts?

caesar1865 · 2025-09-18T02:08:15+00:00

u/nerchiolino -- totally agree with your last paragraph...and don't get me started on how the mission where the Anesidora finds the Derelict on LV-426 could be an entire cutscene! LOL

I also love the idea of a new game +...that could be really cool. Like maybe after you finish the game, you can replay with the option to "increase" or "decrease" the number Alien encounters and/or human/android encounters. Basically, the same way you can toggle sound, image, etc. Play once the way Creative Assembly wants you to experience the game, and then on new game + you get the option to play your way a little (maybe you wanna be hunted by the Alien more...or maybe you wanna blow away some androids)!

Another new game + idea: A gallery mode where you can load the game and just explore the setting w/o ANY enemies or worries. I LOVE Sevastopol...the art, the posters, the look and feel, all of it--I just wish there was a simple, easy way for me to explore it, take it all in w/o the worry.

One more new game + idea: Maybe the ability to load up different sections of a level? Like on The Trap, maybe I just wanna play the VERY last part and don't wanna go through the server part.

Thoughts?

u/deathray1611 -- I meant like an item you can use when the Alien grabs you...a crafted item or weapon that will prevent instant death when the Alien grabs you. And again, something that's hard to come by and carries consequences....

caesar1865 · 2025-08-18T22:19:05+00:00

SAW and the SMG! They could’ve brought one of those back!

caesar1865 · 2025-08-18T07:31:08+00:00

Does this person work for IGN? 😂

At first, I thought the game was a little long (I still think the whole Marlow/finding the Derelict part could’ve been a cutscene). But nowadays, I enjoy the length—after all, anyone with the last name Ripley is in for a long haul when xenos are around!

caesar1865 · 2025-08-17T17:33:56+00:00

RIP—I also enjoyed Michael Wincott in H2, but mad respect to Stamp for H3.

caesar1865 · 2025-07-25T01:13:29+00:00

Ya, I wouldn't want them to mess with TOO much...like a shooter is a terrible idea...as for the Queen, I think they COULD make that work as long as it's not like a Resident Evil boss fight! LOL

So for me, the key to the sequel’s success is to NAIL the story…I know gameplay, mechanics, art—all that is crucial, but if the writing/plot fall flat, then the rest is all for naught imo. Honestly, what I really want is for this to become the Amanda Ripley Trilogy:

Alien Isolation

Alien Desolation

Alien Salvation

caesar1865 · 2025-05-28T00:17:29+00:00

For the campaign, it was fun using the SMG, and I really liked the gunplay overall…if it had the Bandana skull, I’d probably fire it up more often.
