So who fell for Aliens: Colonial Marines

[JungleSama]

Hi guys, well I pre orderd the game a while ago after I played the demo. The real deal had nothing that the demo had(even this excuse of a A.I.).

Anyways if any other fragtards fell for this scheme please let me know. Maybe we could team up and try multiplayer, i''m curious if they fixed the major problems with mp. PM me



cheers

I was interested until I saw a few videos and it kinda turned me off.

If you do play it though, you should go to YouTube and check out FrankieonPCin1080P because he plays it and his latest video of is about a mod that makes the game look way, way, way, better.

I was interested in it as I loved the Alien Versus Predator 2; but the graphics seemed rather out-dated and the multiplayer beta gameplay seemed rather.......... dull, for what you'd expect being chased by 500 pound acid-bleeding aliens to be like.

Skipped it. Heard bad things. The only good stuff I've heard has been people saying "Well, I get a pulse rifle and I get to shoot at aliens."

I read a review...then another and decided it wasn't for me.

I rented it (while all my mates pre-ordered it... tut tut) and returned it the same night. It's THAT bad Such a shame, after seeing the early demo it looked epic, but this is what happens when you switch developers midway through... Absolutely gutted, if ever there was a game that had so much unfulfilled potential, this is it. How they could put the game out in that state I do not know.

Certainly not something to be proud of Gearbox...

And it begs the question, why even take a project like that on? It could only harm their reputation! After all that good work with the Borderlands brand too...

Eh, we got it for both machines, call me weak minded, but we enjoyed playing it through as a coop

Very cool of you to suggest it d00key, I too have seen what the modders have been able to do.

Unfortunately, you can't mod the shit storyline that is just so woefully bad, for them to claim this game to be a "sequel" to the 1986 masterpiece is just an absolute insult.

Couple that with the laughable dialogue and voice "acting", pathetic AI both friend and foe, and complete lack of any kind of suspense or feeling of terror that the film so brilliantly built up, I can honestly say it's the worst let down of all time.

Shame on you Sega. Sonic can kiss my sherries.

Thanks for the mod tip guys will look into that. I've just reinmstalled the game for the 7th time . Hope I can drage myself through it this time.

Call me cheap but I just dont want to waste 50,- by letting this game sit around uninstalled. On the other hand I find my time to be worth more than spending it on A:cm so yeah.

p.s. I think I screwed up my grammar there so sorry english guys
