I enjoyed AvP, but it didn't blow me away. It was the semi-recent one.

It seems all Gearbox can do is Borderlands.

Yeah because its an IP they own, of course they'll do it right, that way they get their money, other games they really don't give a damn. This isn't the first time that Randy Pitchford lies to everyone and then the game ends up being crap, just look at Duke Nukem.

The Aliens franchise proves yet again to be like the blood of its xenomorphs: it burns all it touches.

That's the "reason" why development on Colonial Marines screwed up, because they were busy with Borderlands. It's not just them who get the blame, SEGA is also known for making crap games or at least in the last years they have been. If I were FOX I would look for someone else to publish the games, cleary SEGA has no idea what it is doing.If they knew it was going to be this way then why allow it to be released.

Surprised this game is getting pasted...all I heard was hype coming out of this game. I love how these media sites are saying its a "generic shooter". Now if these media wonks can just wake up and see just how many "generic shooters" truly exist.

That, or grow some actual journalistic integrity and not be "influenced" by big publishers.

I don't know what I should do with my life now. I was hyping this up and thinking it would be the game of the decade. I think I should become an alcoholic. It's a sound course of action.

Game over man, game over...

I installed my AvP 2010 copy and start playing it after completing Colonial Marines in 5 hours.
AvP 2010 looks like a shining diamond now, im not a graphic freak but hell, this game has better ones...

Ouch, that all sounds pretty scathing. Is the game really that bad?

[LTD]

Yet another game that had no right to suck ass:(
sucks ass:(
woe on me:(
woe

[Gotholhorakh]

(@ talk of boycotts) Wow, that's a bit sad - Gearbox is awesome, and there's no question of a SEGA boycott being sane in this world while Total War exists, but...

the level of baffling and hilarious stuff in aliens: colonial marines is pretty strong... bewilderment ahoy.

Here a brief summary of single player.


Multiplayer is somewhat decent since even the worst players do better job then games non existant-AI. And as marines you need to play as a team becuase aliens can easly kill a single marine.  Way better than AvP2010.
But it had lots of connection and lag issiues. Also many SP bugs carry over to MP.
And there is not a proper horde mode?!? But im somewhat happy since Aliens are seriously lacking AI.

Can't wait to see Angry Joe's review on this. He was really hyped for this game

[Lotion Soronarr]

Anytime I see a game bashed to impunity I shake my head in disbelief.

I don't trust the internet and I sure as hell don't trust self-entilted, whiny gamers who seem to only be capable of producing bile and nothing else.
I've seen far too many decent/good games bashed undeservadly.

Then buy&play the game mate but ye be warned. This is just another coridor FPS with horrbile AI and massive bugs.
This game deserves bashings (not that hard ones maybe)
As an Aliens/Predator fanatic, i bought this game despite early bashing previews. I should have burned thet money...

[hangmans tree]

I red a review. MY GOD. The site I frequent (my nat language) havent left a single dry thread on this title (providing examples and evidence). I am an Ailen(s) fan, make no mistake... but 4.5/10 score crushed my expectations. I dont know, maybe... I dont know what to say. How could this happen?

Am waitin on some info from my friends who actually played it... but at this moment I wouldnt even torrent it to check if the rumors are true.
Damn!

[Ridwan]

Told you so folks. Never believe stupid trailers or hype. GAMEPLAY VIDEOS AND FIRST IMPRESSIONS should be what you're looking for. Now if Gearbox has any value to their name there will be a big patch.

You cant patch this.. you can kill the bugs but you can't save the game.

It's just another reminder that many gamers are naive and really think that the publishers and devs care about them, cause some CM wrote a smiley face on their forum.

Or worse gamers that buy games purely based on cinamatics and scripted events videos.

Oh by the way, I got suckered myself. Did buy it from a CD key website thank God, so I saved over 50%. Still it sucks getting burned, especially when I even warned myself 26 days ago.

Lesson learned, the hard way. I have zero doubt there's going to be a ton of people who will justify that they bought the game. I'm not one of them, I was stupid and I paid the price.

This game needs a massive overhaul for free!

True. I only pre-ordered two games in my entire life.
Buyer beware.
The hype machine is vast.
But there's also the problem of backlash - or the other extreeme. Where games get bashed far more than they deserve.
Off the top of my head I can name a dozen games that got bashed, but are actually in the average - good range. It seriously pisses me off.

I'm posting this for all the people that wants to give Gearbox a second/third chance. Don't.

First off, due to me breaking NDA, I can't provide any proof that I'm not just talking out of my ass. But I figure you'd be interested in hearing what I have to say regardless. I've been on the project for around a year and a half, so some of the following are things I've heard from more senior guys.

Pecan (the internal codename for ACM) has a pretty long history. SEGA, GBX and 20th Century FOX came to an agreement to produce an Aliens game around 6 years ago, after which SEGA almost immediately announced it, long before Pecan had even started production. The game has been in active development in the past, only to be shelved in favor of another project (Borderlands, Duke, etc), and each time it was resumed it would undergo a major content overhaul.

SEGA, naturally, wasn't super pleased about the delays, but GBX got away with it for a long time and the contract between SEGA and GBX kept getting augmented to push the projected release further and further back. The last time it was resumed, GBX outsourced a good portion of the game to outside companies. Initially, the plan was for TimeGate to take the majority of campaign, GBX would take MP, Demiurge and Nerve would handle DLC and various other focused tasks. This decision was made mostly so that most of the developers at GBX could continue working on Borderlands 2, while a small group of LDs, coders and designers dealt with Pecan.

Somehow the schedules for Pecan and Borderlands 2 managed to line up and GBX realized that there was no ****ing way they could cert and ship two titles at the same time. Additionally, campaign (which was being developed by TimeGate) was extremely far behind, even as Pecan's Beta deadline got closer and closer. In April or May (can't remember which), Pecan was supposed to hit beta, but GBX instead came to an agreement with SEGA that they would push the release date back one more time, buying GBX around 9 mos extension.

About 5 of those 9 months went to shipping BL2. In that time, TimeGate managed to scrap together 85% of the campaign, but once Borderlands 2 shipped and GBX turned its attention to Pecan, it became pretty apparent that what had been made was in a pretty horrid state. Campaign didn't make much sense, the boss fights weren't implemented, PS3 was way over memory, etcetcetc. GBX was pretty unhappy with TG's work, and some of Campaign maps were just completely redesigned from scratch. There were some last minute feature requests, most notably female marines, and the general consensus among GBX devs was that there was no way this game was going to be good by ship. There just wasn't enough time.

Considering that SEGA was pretty close to taking legal action against GBX, asking for an extension wasn't an option, and so Pecan crash-landed through certification and shipping. Features that were planned were oversimplified, or shoved in (a good example of this are challenges, which are in an incredibly illogical order). Issues that didn't cause 100% blockers were generally ignored, with the exception of absolutely horrible problems. This isn't because GBX didn't care, mind you. At a certain point, they couldn't risk changing ANYTHING that might cause them to fail certification or break some other system. And so, the product you see is what you get.

Beyond gameplay, the story has been raised as an issue several times. I can't really comment without feeling bad beyond saying that the script was approved by 20th Century FOX, and that the rush to throw a playable product together came at the cost of the story. Campaign does a pretty bad job of explaining a lot of the questions raised at the start of the game, and so hopefully there will be DLC to flesh that out a bit better.

I'll answer some questions, but I have to run soon, so it may take a while for responses.

That gossip, all of which is doubtful past the bit which goes "me violating my NDA" would if true, not so much damn Gearbox as explain the issues, and that they had been severely let down.

I have no faith in such claims though tbh. I think at least multiplayer is fixable with some major work, some pretty decent games were debacles when they were released - kotor 2 and rage spring to mind so it wouldn't be without precedent.
