x RadicalAura x Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) From what I've heard from people here on the forums and Australian friends on XBL, this game reeks of what made Duke Nukem Forever such a flop. I will be canceling my pre-order that's already paid off in full towards the purchase of another game. Gearbox needs to sort their priorities and realize that they have something truly special before they ruin everything (Borderlands). They need to stick with Borderlands since that's what they've done best recently and then come up with new creative IPs. They keep jumping in to play the hero role by trying to salvage games that have been in development hell for a decade and it's really not working out for them. Don't buy the game to give them any false impressions. I'm not one to usually judge a game before I've played it myself, but gauging by how disappointed and underwhelmed I was by DNF, I'm not wasting my time with Aliens: CM if the general consensus so far is that it's just as bad. Haven't heard one positive or glowing impression/review for it yet. Edited February 10, 2013 by x RadicalAura x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tg rico72 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbeR6uYxU50]NOOOOOOOO - YouTube[/ame] I've heard yes it is a dated game, but still a fun time if your an aliens fan. I'll still be getting my collector's edition but some may want to wait for a price drop or rental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazenji Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) Not this shit again if it ends up being the case i'm one of the few that actually enjoyed Duke Nukem Forever and the graphics were fairly good, Not everything can look like Crysis or whatever else that looks great these days and i also grew up on those old FPS games.

Haven't heard one positive or glowing impression/review for it yet. Stopped reading at "From what I heard". To the people who say this game sucks. You must want graphics like Crysis for every game, seriously most of the complaints are about graphics...guess what the same was said about Dragons Dogma too and people jumped on the bandwagon for that. Watch some good quality gameplay vids and not from people who suck. It seems to me there are a lot of sheeple. If you don't want to get it based on what others think that's fine but beware you may actually like it and miss out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuzurenl Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Sure the graphics arent impressive but the gameplay is good and the game is much fun in my opinion. Als the online modes i like te play and there are just good. Not impressed with the game but it is better than Duke Nukem Forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazmaster1 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I actually like DNF for its old school flavour and will be getting this regardless of what I have heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Boredom Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 To the thick-headed TC: GEARBOX DID NOT DEVELOP DNF! They bought the rights to a nearly finished game, and released it. Yeah, Aliens: CM is about three years late, it does look a LITTLE dated, but there's no possible way it will be as bad as DNF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genesis x360a Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I don't care for opinions. I've been waiting for this game for 3 years and can't wait to get my copy, play it and enjoy the hell out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xmoda Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 The game wipes my ass thats the bottom line im selling this to the first buyer lol not even worth getting more achievements in its so bad (Unless ur an alien fan) then you will love it for some reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LickableLemons7 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) Jesus, all I see people complaining about are the graphics, and some clunky gameplay. What about the story? Can anyone mention something about that? Does it have a nice pacing? Good script/dialogue/voice acting?

milkycha Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 The sound is great, everything else is just abysmal. Absolutely atrocious textures, screen tearing is everywhere, framerate looks to be 30fps, hit detection problems on enemies, and the shooting itself just feels...off. The story is nothing special. Three missions into the campaign and and a few hours in multiplayer and I'm ready to return this piece of shit. Christ, the multiplayer. Haven't had a single game that wasn't lagging like crazy. Not one. People claiming that you'll like the game as long as you like the Alien films are deluding themselves. The guys claiming 'hurr not every game looks like Crysis' baffle me. This game looks and plays just like Duke Nukem Forever, that is to say, it has all the appeal of a school bus fire. Steer clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x RadicalAura x Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 It's funny how all of the Alien fans are dead-set on buying the game and are willing to accept sub-par graphics, terrible gameplay, poor gun-handling, bad narrative, and lacking dialogue. Yet all of the people have actually have played the game are pretty much backing up what I said, with very few outliers. Case in point: the game isn't worth $60. I'll personally be waiting for it to hit the bargain bin, if I even decide to play it at all. Duke Nukem Forever is $3.99 right now. I'd rather put the $60 towards games like BioShock Infinite, Tomb Raider, Metro: Last Light, or hell, even the season pass for Borderlands 2 to support Gearbox's better and more well-rounded project.

I am fully aware that 3D Realms what the predominant developer of DNF, but Gearbox "salvaged" it from development hell and in my opinion, they need to STOP doing that. It's wasted budgets, wasted development talent, and the end result doesn't even satisfy the majority of gamers. It's killing Gearbox's reputation. I loved the Brothers in Arms games and Borderlands 1 & 2, but these "nostalgic" pieces of shit games like DNF and Aliens: CM aren't doing them any justice.

I couldn't care less if the game resembled that of a PS1 classic. Fans of the games series will play and buy it either way just like they did with DNF. Its not all about graphics, gameplay Etc.Etc. Its about playing something you love and you've been a fan of for many years. Thats why these games are rescued and finally published and I applaud GearBox for that.

Conceptually, Furious 4 (which is now being re-worked as a new IP) seems better to me than any of these old antiquated games that Gearbox is trying to "rescue." There's too much hype generated around all of them and then they wind up disappointing the majority of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supadryz Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Any game that's had this many delays was always gonna be a stinker! Duke Nuke, Too Human etc. etc. all had big delays & were all dog shit. I never had any hope for this game at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're australian... the worst country to live in for online gaming. You're the furthest away from where most people are playing from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milkycha Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Everyone I played with was also from Australia. Full bar connections and lag everywhere. You get stuck on the environment constantly. Why the fuck is everyone defending this? This game isn't just mediocre, it's a complete travesty. Disgraceful. Utter trash. No wonder it broke street date; an effort to get some sales before the reviews go online perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
