Why I Hate It
Because there were stupid mistakes in the game, like the note in the game says 72,00 hours instead of 27,000 and it also states the thing imitates you with full clothes or whatever. During the first five minutes I was so put off I thought it was made by some ignorant apes. And the way that it was an actiongame sucked too - these freaking endlessly spawning heads coming at you all the time. I mean, how can there be so many? That means the thing had to absorb hundreds of people. And the turst system was silly - only a few degrees of trust that didnt even matter in the end because the -*test*-('")ed people just turned to things anyway. Like FEAR -----x----- LOVE in \"Donnie Darko\". I wish the game will some day released as a survival horror game like Res Evil or Silent Hill.

I wish ID Software would make the game because they did a fantastic job with Doom 3.

I have sean the Trailer and it dident look to good. And why isent \"The Thing\" hiding in a human.... it is swarms with monsters! And that intro movie i have sean to and i dident understand the norwegian. I think he said this: Larsen? Larsen....? (witch is a name) ohhhh! Walker (name i think). å herregud, herregud. hjelp meg, hjelp meg. (thing comes in room) Hold deg vekk! (gunfire and screams, then thing attacks and eat the head of the norewgian and then the thing kills the one sitting on the floor). Translastion: Larsen? Larsen....? ohhhh! Walker. oh my god, oh my god. help me, help me. (thing comes in room) Keep away! (Gunfire and screams , then thing attacks and eat the head of the norewegian and then the thing kills the one sitting on the floor). This is only what i think..... so dont go and tell evryone that it is that that he said.

I can remember the quote about the 72.000 hours, it's true, but false in the game indeed. Of course, how can it happen that so much Things are in the environment, but what did you want then? To search hours long to nothing? People like action games, and the game should have a big audiance so you can't base all on the movie. I think they did a superb job when the game was released, al though, it had his mistakes.

Well, the game would have been perfect for an Aliens adaptation in my eyes. ^^ In fact, there is a big difference between the first and the second trailer of the game : the first one is all about paranoia, fear and so on, the second is all about... Things-killing and guns. I think the developers couldn't go the way they want and were forced (by time constraints or because of their producers) to turn it into an action game. A lot of AI dynamic is here but just not used. And there are many aspects of the game which seem rushed... For example, the enemy soldiers at the end were supposed to be all Things infected by Whitely. In the final game, they're just humans you're fighting during 3 levels... I wanted to fight Things, not human soldiers, there are enough games with that already. :? Anyway, trying to tweak it a bit, but it's hard.

freaking endlessly spawning heads coming at you all the time. I mean, how can there be so many? That means the thing had to absorb hundreds of people. ----------------------------------------------------------------- That is Not True the thing can be made up of different creatures for all we know a thing beast could have fallen apart somewhere and the pieces sprouted legs and ran away.

Ok, Gen Inc was doing experiments and things went wrong, that's why there are monsters everywhere. I'm not sure why they sent a rescue team to Outpost 31 though. The game IS fun, but it's just a huge plot hole.

Maybe they sent a rescue team to see what would happen to a military detachment when they encounter the thing before making up their mind to use it as a weapon.

I always thought it was the way michael31 put it. I don't see why the developers would ruin the storyline into cliche'.
