are there many people that are going to play this game? i am gonna try it this weekend if anyone wants to test it out? i heard it is nothing like AVP so we can expect good things lol! i was reading a mag and they referenced the vs style to L4D2, spitters and pouncing aliens and shit. i'll give it a go. what do ya'll think???:pop2:
Since Gearbox is involved I might actually want to try it. Although saw some game-play and it didn't excite me too much.
I had it on my list but I think I'm giogn to change my mind... I still have 10 or so titles I haven't even tried to play yet
I'd read up on some reviews before buying ACM, apparantly it's downright terrible. http://www.gamespot.com/aliens-colo...arinesReview;AliensColonialMarines;FullReview http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ck836MIeYwo http://videogamer.com/videos/aliens...ll_happened_to_aliens_colonial_marines_2.html
I agree about reading-up first... I've made that mistake (no research) with MANY games. Some, though, like Dead Island (which I HATE) got good reviews and people like them.
i have many games i haven't played yet, damn steam sales! i grew up with these movies so i'll give a try, it will probably be like MW3, and i will just play the campain and be done with it. i don't check to see if my PC can play the games too, got a couple of those idiot moments, lol.
I'll give it a try, just to code trainers/hax though, after doing that I will delete it again. I still like l4d2 more over any game for the MG community
If you wanna blow $99.95 USD ($118NZD rip off!!) on a SEGA published game, go ahead. I'd hold out until a sale comes on as it seems a lot for this game title. MW3 was about $89.95 pre-sales and that was falling back on a huge franchise and knowing they could charge that much on first day. This is a random game based on the movies that has successfully flopped each time a new version of these games (or movies after the 3rd one) is released. I wouldn't hold my breath on this being a decent game, I'm saving my money for DayZ!
Agreed... Saving for DayZ, Starcraft 2 HotS, RE6 anf Bioshock... with that my gaming life this year will be fullfilled...
FYI: A brochure for a gamestore in my country was showing this for $88NZD ($74USD), which is average price for new PC titles here (only Black Ops 2 sells for higher on PC). I think Steam is selling it way too high at this point and it must be something to do with Sega trying to capture first day sales at the highest price they can.
It got pretty bad reviews, ill be giving it a miss until its in the bargain bucket i think, which is a shame because i love the films and i cant remember which one it was, one of the alien vs predator pc games i think but i loved it as a kid...scared the shit out of me playing as a marine with the beeping radar thing
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWlW4rbq030 Gameplay videos. Interesting they list all the voice actors like a movie.. although looks like 20th Century Fox played a hand in this (never good). Lance Henriksen, Michael Biehn, voice actress of Borderlands 2 Tiny Tina and a few randoms. These videos sometimes sway my decision and I will wait for the demo if I'm keen... just not keen on the price right now.
As Erik pointed out I have been playing A:CM (with psychokitty at that). I figured its a good time to let you all know the ups and downs to the game. If you google the game and read a few reviews you will see that generally speaking the game sucks. The campaign- The xeno AI is horrid, they tend to jump in through a window only to jump back out and use the door The story seems thrown together and is not what you would expect from gearbox, 20th century fox, and sega Minor bugs through out, holdout events randomly fail to spawn xenos requireing you to reload a check point and try again The MP- Solid 7 of of 10 Only minor issues that need adressed here, for example if you pounce someone think your going to miss and try and main attack them it will freeze both the alien and marine in place untill a team member comes over to get a free kill, chat doesnt work when this happens. Bit of a pain if your in an unused hallway. Most matches end up being one sided due to some minor imbalances. My advice, Unless your a huge fan of the movies\universe this game is set in (like me) don't bother untill a steam sale comes around, even then 30 bucks would be pushing it.
