Where the fuck is the awesome moments, AI and not disappearing aliens body gone from 2011 Demo?
Yeah, just watched Joe’s review, they really fucked this one up. I don’t know how they got it so, so wrong?
OpFor, Blue Shift, Borderlands, Duke, BiA… Can’t say I ever had high hopes for this.
But even I wasn’t expecting it to be this shite.
Oh come on, Op4 and Blue Shift weren’t bad.
And borderlands is fucking awesome and Borderlands 2 is one of the best games of 2012 imo.
Brothers in Arms is a pretty consistently great franchise as well. Even though Hell’s Highway is a bit shaky, it’s great moments are great moments.
Gearbox literally has done way more good than harm. Bolteh, you’re being a fucking idiot.
The pre-release stuff they showed off was horrible, so this came as no surprise.
I hear they outsourced most of the SP to Timegate Studios, which is funny considering how much they ranted about their love of the franchise.
The multiplayer is actually pretty damn good though, and fairly balanced and fun to play as both sides and tense for Marines. Problem is while the modes are nice and diverse, there is serious lack of maps. If they don’t release free content, I can’t imagine people staying forever. Not a lot of people are gonna buy DLC when they paid full price for what is essentially half of a game.
Then again, AvP 2010 had a small map selection of mostly shit when it came out, and people bought the DLC anyway so I don’t know.
Aren’t there plenty of people who play games mostly for the multiplayer? The more recent CoD games comes to mind.
yeah, but COD grew into that kind of game. It’s initial popularity came from its (at the time) authentic grounded campaigns (funny, huh?). That’s now how it started. That’s typically the story for most MP centered games nowadays except for battlefield.
The problem was that they were basically hyping the campaign as an official sequel to the movie Aliens, so people were expecting it to kick all kinds of ass. Instead they got an ass to kick.
It really is a shame, because the MP seems to have been made in the right mindset. It’s tense, you need to work together to survive, and way better than anything the SP had to offer. I really hope they support this game on the MP side of things at least, because that’s the only thing keeping me from regretting purchasing it.
I don’t want it to go down the same road as AvP 2010’s MP, where even though it had potential they cut off support for it and never fixed the game’s glaring issues.
EDIT:

That’s a pretty big update if that were true, but it’s probably just a baseless rumor
Maybe that patch contains an actual good campaign. GBX was just trolling all along and will finally release the industry changing game of the century.
I don’t see how it could possibly be that big. That’s bigger than the actual game.
i wish but…
This is my colonial marines as far as I’m concerned. At least, what it could’ve been like to if it was the original squad-based shooter concept.
Man this is so bad, it could maybe lead to GBX’s closure.
If you want an aliens game just play AvP 2
The multiplayer almost feels like if AvP 2 were more true to the movie and had better class balancing (and obviously without predators which, lets face it have always been way OP in every AvP game)
