This Game is TOO HARD
« on: September 25, 2007, 16:55 »
What is with you people posting "screenshots" of levels above 1 and weapons other than the pistol, MP5, magnum, and shotgun? You're obviously lying. Come on now. Own up.

That's a joke, but for serious AliensRL is too hard. How are you people doing this? I can wander around the whole damn complex forever and ever and ever until I either just get bored to death or my ammo runs out, but I have never seen a lift anywhere. What's the deal?

Update: The problem was that I thought the lifts were pools of water. -_-

Am I glad that I'm not the only one who fell for that ;D

Sounds like a RTFM problem to me ;)

What's wrong with the old standbys > and <? I mean, I haven't played that far, so I guess there's a good reason, but I don't know it.

Well, I thought it was pretty strange to make them more than one tile. The fact that they are is why I assumed there was a reason they don't look like regular old stairs.

Sathariel, that would still suggest that only the middle tile is the "stairs".

Just write in the manual that the whole thing is the elevator...if someone thinks he can only go up/down on the middle tile its his problem ;) Actually i always go on the middle tile before going up/down - dont know why...

Hey, how come I always run out of ammo? I mean, there are just too many aliens around with too little ammo pickups :-(. The end is always the same: whatever tower, level 1, 10 medpacks, no ammo for the weapons I have (usually the basic ones) and 1-2 aliens shredding me to bits, while I just stand there cause there really isn't any point running away ;-P.

Any tips how to avoid this?

*Don't* try to kill them all! You don't have anough ammo for that. Focus on the goal, ignore the rest. Get the guns, kill the queen and get the hell out of there!

Thx for the tip, I'll try this out... What are the other towers for if all you need is to go to the main tower top? (Sorry for my ignorance, but I didn't find the info anywhere.)
