Is it just not possible to make a good Aliens game
Sigh. So much potential, but no
[QUOTE=Thom12255;39564897]Is it just not possible to make a good Aliens game[/QUOTE] AVP2 was the shit what're you on about
kf aliens was decent, imo.
[QUOTE=Morbo!!!;39565011]AVP2 was the shit what're you on about[/QUOTE] So was the first.
I thought it was okay.
[QUOTE=Morbo!!!;39565011]AVP2 was the shit what're you on about[/QUOTE] AvP is a different franchise though.
[QUOTE=rider695;39565088]AvP is a different franchise though.[/QUOTE] It's still good and the marine campaign captured the atmosphere nigh perfect.
after this disappointment i seriously hope the Crysis 2 total conversion of the original AVP Marine campaign is good unless the corporate dicks shut it down [editline]edit[/editline] if it hasn't been shut down already
Isn't that last picture they post a spoiler?
[QUOTE=Over-Run;39565600]Isn't that last picture they post a spoiler?[/QUOTE] I wouldn't say so. At the beginning of the game she says she "woke up with something wrapped around her face".
[QUOTE=Over-Run;39565600]Isn't that last picture they post a spoiler?[/QUOTE] Why, were you actually going to play the game?
After Duke Nukem Forever and this, I think we can agree that extended dev cycles are the kiss of death. When was the last time a game took five or six years and wasn't shit?
[QUOTE=GetBent;39565684]I wouldn't say so. At the beginning of the game she says she "woke up with something wrapped around her face".[/QUOTE] Yeah but there was a possibility that she could of got it surgically removed like in prometheus. But then the doctor's all "it's not possible".
[QUOTE=Used Car Salesman;39571025]After Duke Nukem Forever and this, I think we can agree that extended dev cycles are the kiss of death. When was the last time a game took five or six years and wasn't shit?[/QUOTE] Team Fortress 2 took 9 years, though.

'This writing just gets better and better. “Raiders 6-5 will wait for you, but goddammit don’t make us wait for you.” Someone not only wrote that down, but an actor willingly said it out loud' What's wrong with that line? He's saying they will wait, but that they'd better not make it come to that. It makes perfect sense.

[QUOTE=spekter;39565333]It's still good and the marine campaign captured the atmosphere nigh perfect.[/QUOTE] The first 2-3 levels of the Marine campaign were fantastically entertaining IMO, it just got way to easy near the end (with the exception of the last level itself) as ammo became more and more plentiful. You'd of thought they'd have implemented and improved some of the best elements of that game in Colonial Marines.
[QUOTE=Morbo!!!;39565011]AVP2 was the shit what're you on about[/QUOTE] I was gonna buy aliens colonial marines but after hearing all the bad shit about it ima just pick up av2 for the mp.
Really wish I'd pre-ordered Injustice instead of this. Just going to have to get used to it. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8J8SzBhjqaQ[/media] was posted in the comments
I enjoyed the game, but it needs some major polishing up.
What happened to sonic speed supersoldier born to kill Aliens that were supposed to come out of the walls and ambush you? These things seem so damn [B]weak[/B]

It seems very horrible and inelegant when you use the same phrase, or even word, twice in a sentence.

Thinking about pirating the damn thing to see exactly what people are talking about, though I'll probably just go the lazy route and watch it on youtube.

The Pulse rifle didn't spawn for this guy, so instead he has a hand with a finger pointing. he can still melee, but since the hand has no melee animation, he can spam it like a machine gun [video=youtube;e7GLyOazKRs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7GLyOazKRs&list=FLJCJ4v8YusHJpo9LtZmGNew&index=2[/video]
