J Lo: Banned because I'm curious to know your opinion of the Alien: Isolation game, and if the Metroid and Contra series should be considered Alien games in spirit.
Banned because I enjoy it, partly thanks to my habit of avoiding hiding spaces; they're just traps that the Xeno learns to search in. I'm currently semi-stuck in the part where an entire hoard of Joes corner me in an office and barricading the door with a literal firewall isn't enough by itself to stop them.
I'm entirely on-board with Isolation being referenced in the Alien Roleplaying Game, although it sucks that the story is destined from conception to be unsatisfying for the protagonist.
Metroid is Nintendo's legally distinct take on a fusion of Ripley and Boba Fett and the Prime Trilogy is certainly prime to me. Contra could be Predator adjacent, I guess.
