RE: Dynamic A.I

I find monsters that are 'disturbing' to be too cliche for me to

1) take seriously
2) find scary

I laugh whenever a play Silent Hill games for this exact reason. Its funny to me because its so overdone, to the point of trying too hard to be scary, and that to me is unscary. When I see a ghost peeking around the corner or the sound of children playing in the background, I can't help but roll my eyes because I can't take an entity that reduces itself to puerile behavior to be in any way scary.

Having said that, the Xenomorph is the epitome of scary for me. For the first time since early childhood, I had a nightmare right after playing this game. I woke up today in a sweat. The Alien is a unique kind of enemy. Its a predator. I can't get the sounds of its loud and heavy thumping footsteps as they get faster and faster and you can only wonder why. Did it smell you? Is it coming after you right now? Oh my god, I can't outrun it, I can't fight it. This is a small space. This game touches on the primitive fear elements that we have evolved with as an early species.

The Alien also adapts. After evading it successfully enough times, it will begin to behave like an ambush predator. Waiting in the vents, you can sometimes see its sick silicone drooling seeping out. It waits for you to make the wrong move, to come closer. To knock something over, or get stuck trying to hack a door open. If you trick it enough times with the flash bangs, it will learn to stop being tricked. It is frightful what they have done with this A.I.

You are completely defenseless in Alien Isolation. Go ahead, use that pistol. Make that noise, I dare you. Thanks to the dynamic A.I of this game, everything has consequences.
