The best part is whenanother marine asks Hicks about the body in his cryo tube and he responds with "That's a longer story", that he then never follows up on. So fucking sad.
WOW :'(

God what happened? This looks heaps better than the final result (though still scripted as hell). The narration is terrible.Is this awesome demo actually not in the game? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xulEWbAyv3k

Just beat it. And yes, after doing this, its a 3/10 or 4/10 game. It feels like you're playing a beta or alpha of a bad 2005 FPS.
There are so many glitches its hard to describe. And the "walk in the park" alien just blew my mind when I saw it lol. How the heck they decided that make this alien was a good idea is incomprehensible.
It has a 6 to 7 hours single player campaign. Only managed to endure until the end because I really like the Alien franchise and it deserves something better than this.
And if you think of playing it because of the story, sorry pal, its horrible and mediocre.
It's almost like Gearbox set out to intentionally deceive the public, then kept reviewers quiet as long as possible with a 4am eastern review embargo, thus ensuring that all Amazon preorders would have already shipped.
For those looking for a video review, I'll be happy to oblige.

So, not worth Redboxing for free?
Nop.
That's even worse considering they've been putting their name on it everywhere, all the Randy Pitchford interviews, that e3 demo I posted above being false and everybody thinking they were the only developers until just recently.
It's like a con job by them.

Yeah there are seriously some scenes in that vid where there are no textures at all on objects.Are you sure there's nothing wrong with your 360? The PC version doesn't look too hot but this has way worse textures. Almost none at all on some objects like they didn't load.
Both functionally broken and creatively bankrupt, Aliens: Colonial Marines is an extinction-level disaster.

Actually, it kinda looks like simulated gameplay and not even real, like the jumping alien in the operations centre rolling the character out of the building so they enter the outdoor area with the 'crusher' boss thing (lol @ "It wants to smash you with its head"). It all seems so staged, like the player reacting in a pose before the alien even jumps at him. Either way it looks heaps better than the final game.
Still, the Aliens appear to have body-part damage? Can't quite tell.
Randy Pitchford even says at the end of the video: "This is a section from Act 2 of the game."!
This boggles the mind.
Pitchford is a shill. After this game I don't trust a word that comes out of his mouth or a game that comes out of his studio.
It's either an actuall level from a game that was completely canned and they started again, or he's lying and it's just simulated 'concept' style gameplay.Randy Pitchford even says at the end of the video: "This is a section from Act 2 of the game."!

I love the absolute shit storm across the internet in regards to this game. I really hope they lose tons of money on this and people get fired.
Hopefully people in charge and not people in the trenches. Sadly you know the opposite's going to happen.
I hate when mediocre games get so much press and great ones are doomed to obscurity.
The sad thing is people will probably buy the game because of the bad press. "Everyone in the media says this game is a piece of shit. I need to see what it's all about so I can talk about it too."
I think if anyone does this it'll be later down the line when its bargain bin ten bucks and/or second hand. I'd never pay upwards of seventy bucks just to see how bad something is.The sad thing is people will probably buy the game because of the bad press. "Everyone in the media says this game is a piece of shit. I need to see what it's all about so I can talk about it too."
It is just so sad to see that no developer or publisher can do anything decent with the Alien and Predator IP's. you'd think with the solid foundation and core myhos both have that it'd be easy to get it right.
Not surprising if true. What a shame(sorry if this was already posted)

It is a con. The dedicated a fucking interview with how they were going to do right by the series, and even debuted a demo with gameplay that doesn't even exist in the current release.
If the dev team was re-branded as Hammerpoint Interactive no one would be surprised.

Shows how little care went into making sure this game stayed on the right track when it was palmed off to that other studio. They make it seem like the campaign just appeared back from Timegate in a horrific state so close to release. Wasn't someone from Gearbox managing the project along the way?!
It just makes it look even more like GB didn't give a fuck about the game and Borderlands was their priority. Which it clearly was.
throwawayacm said:I wasn't a huge Aliens fan before I started on the project and working on it hasn't done much to improve that, but I definitely understand where you're coming from

(I'm just pissed that my brother preordered this piece of shit).
*sigh* Rev3 still not providing accurate captions. How bad does Sess rip into the game? As bad as Jim?
