I die a little each time a new Aliens: CM thread pops up...

 

[Amagon]

Feel sorry for my friend who drop $50 for this game. Will point and laugh at him though.

 

[Kouriozan]

Another disappointing "big" release.
Between this, AC 3, Ninja Gaiden 3, DmC, Tomb Raiders and more, it's getting worse and worse.

 

[Burgess_101]

So disappointed, I love Alien and want a good new FPS to enjoy. Will wait for it on sale.

 

[MYE]

kill... me...

Shut up, Dallas

 

[DaBuddaDa]

Oh god I wonder if the official Nintendo mags will rate it well.

"Well, but, um, it's not that bad! 8/10"

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Damn, a site wouldn't even give this a rating? That's harsh.

 

[frankie_baby]

But the Wii U version will be good, right!?

Has it actually been seen anywhere yet?

 

[jabuseika]

My expectations were already very low for this game.

Steam sale it is.

Amazing.

Kind of okay vid

 

[Hystzen]

Marine campaign in AvP3>>>>>>>> Aliens: Colonial Marines

The campaign might been easy but at least it had atmosphere and seemed to have some thought gone into making it.

 

[sflufan]

Damn, a site wouldn't even give this a rating? That's harsh.

Does the site even give ratings in the first place?

 

[DeuceGamer]

Disappointing...At one point I had high hopes for this. I still plan on getting it...at some point.

Has it actually been seen anywhere yet?

Every day that passes without new info makes me think it won't make it out.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Does the site even give ratings in the first place?

Not to pieces of shit, apparently!

I...what the fu....WHAT

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

So much potential with this IP and yet they continue to squander it.

 

[fvng]

I enjoy the alien universe so in all likelihood I'll be giving the game a pass as long as its a competent shooter. I always welcome co op games as well

 

[Wolfie5]

But the Wii U version will be good, right!?

Just a little airborne...

 

[subversus]

Gearbox making a bad game. Never would have saw that coming.

Sarcasm for people who think Borderlands 1 is a good game.

sarcasm for people who think their opinion matters.

 

[Xater]

Oh god I wonder if the official Nintendo mags will rate it well.

After the OT this game has delivered a lot of laughs.

Dude that's footage of AVP2 not the actual WiiU version. TBH honest I'd rather get that game. It's probably still more than than CM.

Also OP really should include the best review we are talking about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dPF8jpItCs#t=0m0s&hd=1&hd=1

 

[fabricated backlash]

I...what the fu....WHAT

Please tell me you thought this footage from the old Rebellion AVP game was genuine WiiU footage.

 

[Currygan]

this generation keeps getting better!

 

[mrklaw]

i'm just going to search for an Aliens motion scanner app for ipad and pretend I'm playing the game that is in my imagination

 

[GC|Simon]

I planned to pick this up for Wii U... now it turns out to be crap. And Rayman was delayed... oh dear.

 

[NullPointer]

Holy shit are they seriously releasing this for $60?!

Makes this even more of a travesty.

Was going to buy at $15 but I've lost even the will to do that.

If they had to crib ideas from another game, why couldn't it have been Left 4 Dead instead of COD?

I'm sorry, why do review sites even exist if this is also an option?

 

[schwabdizzle]

This game went through development hell.....I knew it was going to be shitty.

 

[Massive Nights]

Hah, Robert Florence is doing a live review followed by a showing of Aliens at the Glasgow Film Festival next week ,should be good!

[strafer]

Gearbox.

The fact that this is tricking some people makes the video even better

 

[Roo]

I'll wait to read some impressions for the rest like Bayonetta 2, Colonial Marines, and Injustice

 

[x-Lundz-x]

So much potential with this IP and yet they continue to squander it.

And with as much time as they have had to work on this, coming from Gearbox who at least in my opinion has a talented development team, has a CEO who claims to be the biggest Aliens homer of all time next to myself and they still screw this up.

I am genuinely sad, I really thought they would get it right. I still plan on getting the game but all these impressions just break my Aliens fan boy heart.

 

[fabricated backlash]

The fact that this is tricking some people makes the video even better

Yup.

 

[Baconsammy]

That video review is pretty funny. Mocks Nintendo users, GAF users, CoD,Sega, Keighly, Aliens fans etc etc.

 

[shinobi602]

Please tell me you thought this footage from the old Rebellion AVP game was genuine WiiU footage.

Thank christ, I thought something was fishy. I never played the old AVP game, I wouldn't know.

The graphics still look terrible. Wtf happened? They always looked pretty damn good a few months ago. I'm guessing that was the PC version v___v

 

[bangai-o]

dont know why you guys are complaining about the wii-u footage. it looks like is running smoother, and the xenomorphs seem more menacing.

 

[Kifimbo]

Same team behind Duke Nukem Forever I guess.

 

[Gravijah]

The quality difference between this game and Borderlands 2 is as obvious as it is stark.

It's not like Borderlands 2 shooting is good. It just has loot and open world and missions to hide the very dull combat.

 

[fabricated backlash]

I'll just post this here:

 

[Derrick01]

Another disappointing "big" release.
Between this, AC 3, Ninja Gaiden 3, DmC, Tomb Raiders and more, it's getting worse and worse.

People will learn to stop being lazy and make good games or their businesses will die. The world of business tends to sort itself out in the long run. Very few get to constantly offer shit and stay around.

 

[Celegus]

Still not sure how anyone had hopes for this, not surprising in the least.

 

[djplaeskool]

That video is such a masterful troll.

 

[Haunted]

 

[NullPointer]

Gearbox.

Those were some truly great games.

Couldn't even get more than halfway through Hell's Highway.

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

It's not like Borderlands 2 shooting is good. It just has loot and open world and missions to hide the very dull combat.

I thought the core shooting mechanics in BL2 were great, myself.

 

[Orayn]

Same team behind Buke Nukem Forever I guess.

Not really, since DNF was pretty much finished when it passed into Gearbox's hands.

 

[Xater]

Same team behind Buke Nukem Forever I guess.

That was mostly Triptych.

 

[twinturbo2]

Didn't Sega put all of their retail presence behind this and a handful of other ips?

Not a good start.

Aliens, Total War, Football Manager, Sonic, and Yakuza for the Japanese market.

 

[Medalion]

Wii-U version, can't wait to see if they add or remove .5 from the average score for the Gamepad support

 

[x-Lundz-x]

Same team behind Buke Nukem Forever I guess.

Why do people still think this? The DNF game you got was 95% 12 years of 3D realms BS and 5% Gearbox making it playable so they could release it.
