Anyone playing I am Alive?


Recommended Posts

I would probably be further in it or even done with it but the version Impulse installs won't patch for some reason (it would help if they didn't bypass the launcher so anyone else even knew what I was talking about, or if they'd uploaded the patched version to Impulse.)

I bought it for the PS3 because it seemed to be right up my street. Post apolocalyptic survival in an urban environment almost always seems like a cool game setting for me. Sadly I found myself getting too frustrated with how linear it was. Yahtzee's review pretty much covered the main points for me: The illusion of having to spare your ammo for when you would need it when in reality you didn't really get a choice, and the climbing mechanic which started out sounding like a great idea but quickly just became a pausing point throughout the gameplay.

Maybe I'll try it again, but a final problem I had were the controls. If you start from the beginning then it's ok, but after you've put it down for a while I've found that I can't remember a thing about the control system.

I am Alive can blow me. It doesn't hold all the auto-saves. This blows. Anyone have or know of a cheat/trainer that I can force saves?

Haven't played it yet so I can't help you with specifics, but I backup my saves manually for games that have retarded save systems, like Far Cry 3 for example.

I like him. A quick 5 minute review of a game, and a majority of the time if it's a game that I own I find myself agreeing with his points. I Am Alive is one of those games.

I like Yahtzee, his reviews are generally quick and humourous, and somehow he manages to cover 90% of game issues (positive & negative). I don't watch them regularly enough, I much prefer to watch them for entertainment purposes in one long stoner session than watching one at a time.

    • So, recently, I saw on the news (yes, on this website) that Samsung is introducing features where it can provide education using AI-powered sets, and because of this, I got concerned about whether the AI gives out wrong info during education sessions, causing controversies in the process. What are your thoughts on this? 
    • TCL's Bang & Olufsen soundbar is 40% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The TCL Design Series A65K is currently $299.99, down from $499.99. That's 40% off and $200 saved on a soundbar tuned by Bang & Olufsen, which is not a combination you'd normally expect at this price point (purchase link below). Bang & Olufsen doesn't typically show up in the sub-$500 category. The Danish audio brand is known for speakers that cost several times more, so having their acoustic tuning on a $300 soundbar is very appealing. TCL handles the hardware, B&O handles the sound engineering, and the result is what the company calls "accessible luxury." Still, accessible luxury isn’t full-fledged luxury, so don’t expect wonders. But this is a decent soundbar, nevertheless. The A65K is a true 3.1.2 channel system with nine physical drivers, including genuine up-firing height speakers for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. Many soundbars at this price simulate overhead effects through virtual processing, rather than actual hardware. So, you’re getting the real deal. The design is unusually slim for a system with Atmos compatibility. The bar is just under 2 inches deep and should fit beneath most TV screens. The wireless subwoofer is also compact at roughly 14 x 14 x 5 inches. Total output is 460W, and you can connect to the soundbar via HDMI eARC, Bluetooth 5.3, or USB. There are also eight sound modes through the TCL Home app and an AI calibration capability. Although it’s worth mentioning that AI capabilities in most of these devices are inconsistent, to say the least, and that shouldn’t be the biggest selling point. Still, at $299.99, the A65K is a strong buy for anyone who wants a soundbar that sounds and looks noticeably better than what this price range usually offers. And the Bang & Olufsen branding surely sounds nice - pun intended.
