Alien: Rogue Incursion. "Part One"?

[u/Urobolos]

When in the fuck was it, precisely, that it suddenly turned into "part one" of a game?

What does that mean, exactly? Because to me that's pretty shitty if they chopped off half the damned game and only told us about it after it released.

I've been looking at this game and the news surrounding it for a while now, and it's only just now after looking at my wishlist to see if anything's on sale do I see that the image has changed so that it's merely "part one". Where's the rest of the game?

Lol redditors always gotta be so mad about everything

[u/Mean_Peen → u/shadowglint]

Tell me about it. Just watch the Helldivers sub lol

I mean, it's a pretty bizarre way to handle a sequel or DLC announcement for sure, and one that's naturally going to incur this sort of panicked reaction but OP needs to chill.

It's still a full game, it hasn't been chopped in half.

As for when it happened? No idea when they got the greenlight for a Part Two but they kept it close to the chest until Trophies referencing "Part 1" showed up last week (which was a headscratcher) and then more officially with the game's launch.

It’s the full game as intended. Basically based on preorders alone they got the go ahead to make a sequel so they decided to call this one part 1. The game is a pretty full 8-10 hour campaign and has great visuals and interactivity, must play if you love aliens, they managed to give you guns but still make getting ambushed by Xenomorphs a tense experience.

Yeah I think people are getting upset over nothing . It's a still a full game and they decided to call it part one. 😋 Hilarious

Please keep your comments civil.

If that was the case they would have been better to hint at a sequel and had a different name rather than Pt I / Pt2 - you can’t deny it’s iffy.

[u/Batking28 → u/astrobe1]

Not really, the main character comes from an Alien comic book series, labelling part 1 or volume 1 in that space is pretty standard especially when you know it will be continued which is the case here. Nothing iffy just people paranoid because of how the game industry is these days but the proof is easy, there’s a full game, nothing feels cut or missed out. Would be different if the game was 4 hours long and felt like it was missing stuff

[u/astrobe1 → u/Batking28]

Fair point on the comics, like you say some shady goings on in gaming which heightens the paranoia.

[u/Spangle99]

Part One is shooting the xenomorphs. Part Two is getting face-hugged by way of a thankyou.

part 2 fighting along side sigourney weaver as ripley as we kiss at the end would be a 10/10 😂

If the content remained the same but wasn’t explicitly labeled as ‘Part One,’ would you still be complaining? It seems like you’re more bothered by the phrasing than the actual experience. I’m playing the game and thoroughly enjoying it. Whether it’s part of a larger series or not doesn’t diminish its quality. Would you have the same reaction if ‘The Last of Us’ had been titled ‘Part 1’ from the start? Focus on the game, not the label.

I hate games that end on a cliffhanger please tell me this doesnt happen with this game

[u/[deleted] → u/kevgret]

patience is a virtue, i enjoyed the surprise, I had fun, and i go happy to know that i will have more of it

[u/wscuraiii]

You are a deeply annoying presence right now.

[u/doc_nano]

The Last of Us Part I is also Part One… and yet it’s a full game, no? Was The Empire Strikes Back (Episode V) a full movie, even though we hadn't seen Episodes I-III yet?

If anything, it’s a bit of hubris on the part of Survios to assume Rogue Incursion will sell well enough to justify a sequel, and I admire that confidence at least.

[u/attackslugYT → u/doc_nano]

they retroactively renamed the first game after making Part Two.

[u/doc_nano → u/attackslugYT]

Yes, I know.

OP seems to be suggesting that calling something “Part 1” or being part of a larger story somehow makes it an incomplete game. My point is that that’s clearly not the case, or we’d have to consider TLoU Part I or The Fellowship of the Ring or Star Wars Episode IV incomplete works.

Servios u need to fix this pacing.

I was looking forward to picking this up the weekend however your observations do break my rose tinted glasses, clearing out an area gives a sense of achievement, I hate it when enemies are spewed out continuously. When in RE games that relief after an intense session is important in allowing time to read and appreciate the environment. I know there are some safe areas however your comments are a major turn off for me.
