Aliens: Colonial Marines

Who's getting this fantastic slice of the Aliens universe, the game sequel to Aliens itself? My copy just arrived in the post. What am I still doing typing this? It's because I'm NiceTM.

  • I played it the other day. My brother works in a store so he can rent dat shit early. Graphics were awful for a 2013 game. The controls felt like Doom and the story (what little there was) was terrible. The only good things I found about it were the nostalgic parts. Such as going into the room from Aliens where Newt and Ripley were attacked by the Facehugger. You can even see that little shit dead on the floor. Oh, and the inside of the Derelict, or Orion as it's called in the game. Those were the only parts I enjoyed. Everything else was crap.

      Apparently it's garbage. But I don't care about the gameplay. I just want to see how the storyline goes. How is the writing? Is the tone of the game similar to the two Aliens movies?

      • I pre-ordered for $10 extra trade credit. Looks like that money will be sitting around for a while.

      • Common sense factors to it sucking ass: >Little advertising, most done on IGN >No motivated articles before it's release, meaning interviewers trying to find everything about the game >NO REVIEW YET. Games with no reviews ahead of time almost always are crap.

            • I'm still debating whether to buy this game or not, I've heard it isn't that great.

                  They had nice looking Colonial Marines at PAX. Even the Bungie dudes were "getting behind them". Honestly? The way she filled out those BDUs? I'd get behind her too!

                • Lol prepare to be dissapointed. Horrible AI, loads of bugs, dated graphics (really dated), bad story that just takes you from one place to the next. This game's saving grace is its Multiplayer, which is epic. However its matchmaking system is dated and bad. Bare in mind, this is the same Gearbox development team that did Duke Nukem. And this game has had plenty of development time. So before people start jumping on the "its Sega's fault" bandwagon, just remember who actually made the damn game.

                • It looks great. The commercial that keeps airing on TV is really bad though.

                • So jelly...I'm hopefully getting it tomorrow if the big storm over here on the east coast of the US didn't delay the shipping of the game. Funny, this same exact thing happened to be three years ago with AvP. Huge snow storm and the local store didn't have any copies. Damn you mother nature, I want to kill some Xenos!

                • Any reviews, user or otherwise? I'm cautiously optimistic. AvP wasn't that good.
