Aliens: Colonial Marines

[Toe]

So....who's got it?

I do and, to be honest, the single player is a steaming pile of shit.

However, the multiplayer seems awesome. Anyone want to play on 360?

Aliens: Colonial Marines - Pacifist Mode

[brenchill]

Wow, that looks shit.

I was half-tempted to get this seeing as Aliens is one of my favourite movies.

[King Ellis]

I'm off to the beauty salon, ta-ta!

[Your Mom]

I was so excited for this game. Glad I didn't buy it. Way disappointing

[LL!]

After the last Alien game, I figured people might learn.

I thought AVP was actually semi-decent. This looks like complete shite.

[brenchill]

I'm off to the beauty salon, ta-ta!

What the...?

I bought the first AVP game (Is there a second? I have no idea), it was the worst.

[DJ Ice]

I really enjoyed AVP, but Colonial Marines feels like something that would have came out 10 years ago, sloppy, generic, clunky game. Tries but fails to stay true to the Alien franchise, wouldn't recommend anyone to buy it

[King Ellis]

I thought the original AVP on PC had a favourable reputation?

And of course you have the arcade game where you can suplex aliens Mike Haggar style so that's obviously the greatest game ever made.

[Toe]

After giving it a try, the multiplayer is awesome. Playing as an alien specifically is satisfying.

[brenchill]

I heard the 90's PC game was good, I never played it. I was referring to the PS3 game.

[Toe]

The PC AvP from 2002 or so was awesome. I never got to try the one from a year or two ago.

[TKz]

The AVP one recently was fine. It wasn't good enough for the franchises, but it wasn't this. I could actually enjoy that game and at least the Predator controlled wonderfully.

[Toe]

Again, while the single player sucks, the multiplayer is a lot of fun. Being alone as a marine, desperately looking for teammates while staying alive, is great fun.

[King Ellis]

Yeah, it looks cool from the little I've seen of it. Very L4D esque, with the aliens being like hunters, letting you wall crawl and pounce on people from across the room.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

The old Alien vs Predator (2?) on the PC was great, at least playing as the Alien anyway.

I was worried about this one though as it's been in development for yeeeeears now. Sounds like it got the Duke Nukem outcome.

[The Mask of Norro]

Worst part is Gearbox's name gets dragged through the mud with it. It really is Duke Nukem all over again for them, and they didn't even do much of the single player.

... no idea why they promoted single player when they only worked on multi though. Really strange. I mean granted it's up in the air as to how much they did work on it apparently but still, the only good part is multi and I can't convince myself that the guys behind Borderlands would suddenly, collectively, suck this horrifically.

[Noah]

I heard so much goodness about the single player story and how it was now considered a part of alien canon and I was loving the lead up to the game over the past several months and hearing about little bits and pieces of it and I was looking forward to how much fun it seemed like it was going to be.
