QuoteLOL most were in hibernation or else where, they were never in the same area as her let alone 15 feet away from her like the character you play as in Isolation.
The Aliens were inside the colony before the marines showed up and Newt had seen them in action. The very fact she was still alive means she was able to evade them, which means she was able to hide from them.
The situations are nowhere near compareable going by movies alone theyve been shown to have long range tracking skills, they were obviously far enough away from her that they didnt know about her, same deal as the Marines, if the aliens were in that part of the complex they would have attacked them sooner. It wasnt till the aliens were awaken that they tracked / attacked any of the remaining humans. Not on person was able to hide from them, not even the one underwater was unable to track humans.
Its because of these powerful and alien senses, that they go into more detail in other mediums, that its exteremly hard to hide from them, they are usually in posistions that are ment to ambush there enemies and yet, if it were a human trying to ambush people the way aliens do, medlab and vent scene comes to mind, it would be next to impossible.
The example youve given me compareing Newt with Riplys daughter are nowhere near comparable. The Aliens Newt hid from were real far away, Amanda is constantly up close too 15 - 30 feet from the alien and yet she canonically 99% the time is able to hide from it, this is made worse by the fact it is hunting her, if Newt was activley being hunted she would of been dead much sooner.
You didnt say anthing about it so ill repeat myself, the alien is also made pathetic by the fact it is canonically 80% easily fooled, by thrown objects, taking the above example into consideration this is stupid. It would know someone is there because of its many diffrent ways it detects prey.
The reviewers were wrong when they said this alien creature is the most accurate alien, when compared to the lore, that has come from a game.
If this game had nothing to do with the alien series I would give it a 8 - 9 out of 10 but since they f**ked up the alien, it gets a 1-2 out of 10. As I said this gets worse in that all these people are jumping on the bandwagen proclaiming that this is indeed the most accurate and respectful alien creature when compared to the lore.
The critics are wrong as are the scores theyve given AI.
