They give us all this crap but they won't give us Morse's Star Beast . Outrageous  >:(

Yeah ugh... or a novel about Shaw and David between Prometheus and Alien Covenant.

But no, we are more likely to get crap nobody but plebs want like: Vasquez: An Aliens Story, Drake: An Aliens Story, Gorman: An Aliens Story, Hicks: An Aliens Story, Hudson: An Aliens Story, Apone: An Aliens Story, and bloody so on.

Not to mention piling on the Amanda Ripley stories nobody asked for.

As for Sea of Sorrows I am still offended that it and others are advertised in the back of Into Charybdis and Cold Forge, easy target to pick on but, like Twilight being advertised in the back of f**king Dracula.

The Rebecca Jordan guide to Hide and Seek at Hadley's Hope?

I still think that could have made an interesting Isolation expansion.

Not to mention the offspring of each of these characters also seem to somehow find themselves in a battle with xenomorphs. Is there like some kind of legal limit to amount of new characters they are allowed to write?

"Aliens: 38, Simulated."

Local Trouble

I want a separate novel for each of Gorman's simulated drops.

Engineer

It's ironic...

The expanded universe has never felt smaller because they insist on making everything a family affair...

Isolation was a genuine surprise, and a rare gem. But I'm not counting on anything else, like this Vasquez novel, to pull off the same sort of feat.

Ok, that made me laugh  :D


As I see it,  Isolation  was awesome despite Amanda's connection to Ripley not because of it. I know,  I  know, hearing Sigourney read these lines is heart-warming and gives you teary eyes but the game could've easily done without it and still be bloody great

See, I feel the opposite. Sure you could have had an Isolation-style game without Amanda, but to me the thing that made it work was that her involvement in the story came about as a result of the same direct link to the original film that caused the events of the game to transpire in the first place. So even if the initial pitch might have been something along the lines of "Ripley's daughter vs Aliens", they made it work and didn't just shoehorn her in to a completely random Alien encounter like they could have. So in that case I thought it worked really well.
