Is aliens colonial marines a bad FPS in the sense ''I was expecting more from gearbox software" or more like "this game is really bad, avoid it no matter what"?

Or should I wait for Summer Sale?
If you want to play it now, that is your answer. If you can wait, then it may happen with the summer sale or it may happen later, but you can wait. Will you play it now? For example, I pre-ordered Mortal Kombat for $22, a game destined to cost half as much in 2 or 3 months, but I want to play it now.
I am also doing it to encourage them to release Injustice on PC

The way you say this makes it seem like you think Gearbox makes good games.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.

I think the best way to look at it is that it's bad, even by Gearbox standards.

Super sad Steam sales didnt start this week :(


Hopefully they are doing one. There have been so many sales on other sites for steam games, ive bought a few and some from bundles. But been waiting mostly to buy direct from steam.
 
Ahh don't want to pay 5 bucks just for that game. Plus I have some funds in my steam wallet from selling cards, I want to save that for the steam sale so I can maximize what I get.

Oh thought it was 2.47 for that bundle, I'm sure KB platinum will be 75% off though.

If you enjoyed the films then you'll love all of the easter eggs and nods to them. However, that literally is the only thing you will enjoy about the game. The Horde mode DLC isn't bad though.

Pm'd you with a free King's Bounty: The Legend Steam key.
You're welcome.

Why settle for easter eggs and nods when you can just re-watch the films?

Is that Bundlestars site legit? Just got a gaming Pc so I am looking to expand my library. I know they always say sales on Pc games are insane but $2.47 for all those games is insane.

it means: stay the fuck away from it.

That gif btw, is actually one of very few good ideas for this game, that were never fully developed.
(they are what's left of the aliens that were nuked in Aliens, can't see, but respond to sound and explode instead of regular attacks. which, considering this game only has aliens to play with, would have been a start for creating more types of aliens for the enemy roster, but no such thing happens.)

The game does have one or two things that might have worked / been neat, but it's really more like a 10 dollar XBLA download than a real (A) game. Also, halve the game is mirrored to save costs and has like five enemy types or something.

I finished it, and I already can't remember. That's how bad it is.
It gave me amnesia!

Everyone should buy it. I want more fighting games on PC so I don't have to worry about controller support between generations. Plus MK and Injustice are awesome.

Check the 4x list.
There is Civilization, Colonization, Master of Magic maybe one or two more and the rest of the 92 games are set in space.

Most of those aren't any good anymore :|

No thanks. MSE isn't even the best free av-software, it's better than nothing but that's it. And while ESET has recovered quite a bit they still live from the image they got during their glory days during the 2000s. There's no reason to use those two, others are better.

Zonealarm and McAffe are terrible system hogs. I honestly haven't used norton in years but it used to be fucking awful. Kaspersky has false positives and misses viruses up the wazoo.

Your other choices are even worse.

Avast?

The anti-malware app, rather than "avast, there she blows!"

Anyone who calls the Arkham games overrated is crazy. They are easily 2 of the best games in the current generation.
 
I like the pack of Steam Whisperer's we've become. People wander into the thread to ask the expected price of something during a sale, and we just know it. We're right most of the time too.

Steam Whisperer's.

To everyone signaling that we want more fighting games on PC, I thank you.
