Aliens Colonial Marines warning

Reviewers and critic are often biased, not fans, paid to shit on games or have absolutely no idea what the game series is about, never trust any reviewer outside a forum group dedicated to the game/brand.

It's already out? Will be buying it regardless, hopefully it's as technical as AvP3 multi with actual FPS survival elements and not much lag.

I have no idea why this xenomorph just walks past the player, but everything I read so far points towards that it shouldn't be? I thought it was a zombie xeno (i honestly dont know lol)

This has been posted in several negative threads about the game on other sites.

Sounds to me like they forgot to pay off some gaming mags.
Consider this game has been building hype since 2008 with all it's delays and secrecy. No game no matter how good lives up to that kind of hype. Look at Diablo 3, the game had some serious flaws, but people forget how shitty Diablo 2 was before the LoD expansion because they've been waiting 10 years for the 3rd game. Everyone hates on it now since it's not up to their ludicrous standards.

I'm sure Colonial Marines is pretty tight for what it is. Even without the hype I was only expecting it to end up mediocre anyway. That's usually how licensed titles end up anyway. The last AVP game was fun, could've enjoyed it longer if the online didn't suck.

Been reading the reviews... it's getting really bad reviews... like 4.5 out of 10 type of reviews.
Yes, the game is fucking awful and I can't believe I wasted 50 dollars on it. I could've gotten NHL13 but I knew CrReaM (he's a streamer) was wicked hype about it so I figured it must be good. I don't think i've played a game this bad in a long time. It's like Natural Selection 2, which is excellent btw, but with laggy gameplay and no commander.

I try not to read into reviews too much, but it's a shame to see all the bad for this game. I'm a MASSIVE Alien fan, so I wanted to get into this. I don't know, I can't seem to convince myself to get to the store and buy it.

Something to remember, the game was originally a movie tie in with an Aliens sequel, but the movie was canned, but the game still got the greenlight.

Dude D3 was a travesty, Blizzard's greed mad ethat game fail so badly that it wasn't even funny. Anyway I always just say forget the reviews if your an Alien fan then just give it a shot. Considering it was Gearbox that finished the game and just like Duke 4ever, I'm sure this was a way for the developer to get there claws into the Aliens franchise, to allow them to develop another game in the franchise later. Its like with Fox owning the rights to X-Men movies, they have to release so many in a certain mamount of time. I personally think that Gearbox is going to fully develop another game based in bothin the Aliens and as well as produc another game in the Duke franchise and they will likely do better in the future with it.

I played the online demo for this like 3 years ago. Why the fuck is it just now coming out?
Excuse the double post, because back then, Sega decided it was a good idea to hold off on this game to make AvP first, which if this game had come out when it did, it quite possibly might have done better.

sad fact, avp demo was more fun than the actual game

except an online game in the jungle and center, my first game there was awesome.

After playing the game this is supposed to happen. These are called boiler aliens and they are only attracted to sounds so if you don't move they'll walk by or they'll go back into a statue like form. Pretty cool level in the game.

Even though that is suppose to be there, All I hear in this screenshot is either the sound of Quan Chi zombifying the alien or that alien walking out saying" excuse me nothing to see here everythings ok."

agreed man.i was surprised at how good the reboot is,as soon as you get past the little shit and his emo bullshit character it's hella fun,the combat is still awesome.as for the alien that thinks its going to win britains got talent with that penguin impression you may have convinced me to go and pick the game up just for that level,comedy gold.

Read the game informer review, got like 4.5/10
Then I read the user reviews, averaged 9.5/10
And I am confused..

No you are not confused, the useres are the one reviews that typically will count. When you read reviews by actual paid critics they will break the game down to a level, a ridculous level. Right now everyone is expecting one of two things with a game like this Dead Space or CoD, which is absurd. IMO I'e listen to a user's review way before an official review.

Can I just say, for the most part, if you're a huge fan of aliens, and the alien franchise, you will have a good time for the campaign at least.

I'd call it a good rent, but you could get a better game for full retail price.

The reviews are very odd for this game. Its seems that the reviewers are holding a grudge for its 6 year delay and that the graphics are average at best. I've played halfway through the campaign and its dripping in Alien atmosphere but yet most of the reviews say this game is completely devoid as if they forgot Aliens was an action horror flick compared to the horror suspense original Alien.

I haven't got into much multiplayer yet but my first few matches were very laggy and rather confusing to say the least. The class of Alien has different attacks and fatalities but yet I couldn't execute any of them....... AVP seemed much better multiplayer wise but perhaps my opinion will change after logged game time.
