I would lvoe to have a big physical Vita library, but Sony keeps doing amazing discount sales faster than I can buy any games.

My love of physical games is competing with my love of getting a £30 game for £7.50 and losing :cry:

I thought the point was to hide in lockers and getting eaten anyway.
This is what I've heard some folks say about it. I have it in my backlog, so I've yet to see for myself.

honestly, the game was just making me feel too tense. As a huge fan of the Alien franchise, it sucks that it would stress me out so much. I am really bad with "stealth" in games. So I think it'd be cool if I could just like "explore" the game without being brutally hunted down.

But noise, you being brutally hunted down occurs in every game you play with me.

I want to play an RPG, but I really don't like this experience and leveling system.

I know you're just ribbing me. But I felt funny even posting about it. But what can I do? I can't really control my physiological reaction to the game. And yet it being an Alien game I do want to get to see more of it than I did.

To use your example, some people might choose to play an RPG on an easier difficulty setting.

Change how you think about the game. Don't think of it as, "The Alien is going to kill me." Think of it as, "The Alien is Ack, and we're playing tag. A horrible, hideous game of tag where Ack devours my bones in the end if he catches me." Which is pretty much how I always play tag.

Yeah, that's how you should think of it.
