if u like a game reviews shouldnt matter, just get it if u like it if not dont rage on ppl that might have like it

Bet you didn't expect a knife to your throat.

Good News

I remember you doing almost the same thing with Hitman!

I can't trust Gearbox to make anything other than Borderlands right now.

Hopefully this will bring us another step closer to the complete abandonment of pre-orders.

Phew, almost bought the game the other day :P

This is a prime example of pretty much why I have completely stopped pre-ordering any games over the past few years, which all too often end up being the latest disappointment. I want to see reviews and gameplay footage, and perhaps even a demo as well before I drop some good cash on a new game. There's so much other stuff to play anyway I don't really miss it. The last game I pre-ordered was Left 4 Dead 2 and I definitely do not regret that. I only did that after having played L4D1 though.

Also, even though the two games might not necessarily focus on the same types of gameplay I have to say it..... it sounds like the score is:

Natural Selection 2: 1
Aliens: 0

Indie game trumps AAA game. How about that?

Never preorder. Never spend more than a few dollars. Only buy games that you actually know something concrete about.

It's ironic that after people(even some of the reviewers now bashing it) have been more or less begging Sega to not abandon it are now nitpicking at every little fault of the game and even going so far as to compare it with WarZ. It's also ironic how badly nostalgia is clouding your memories if none of you remember how the singleplayer part of previous AvP games was. You cry about this one being shallow and having bad A.I. yet all previous AvP 1 and 2 were exactly the same. It was exactly the same "Go there and break/kill/steal that." that you see in this game, yet, unlike here, you mostly did it by yourself, not with a team, that's the only difference. It's funny but the bad AI is almost like a hallmark of the series, the only thing that happened on higher difficulties was enemy damage getting upped. But hey, at least AvP had predators as well right? What made AvP great were the multiplayer and the feel of the game. I cant talk about the multiplayer part, since i have not tried it yet, but the feel is still there.

I would tell you to give the game a chance, not now at full price, but when it goes on sale (even with a pirate copy if need be, there's nothing wrong with trying before buying, i do it with all expensive games), but i doubt anyone would listen, the reviews and trolling already killed it in the eyes of most people, no one will care if they release a HD graphics patch, if they fix the AI or anything else.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Age_II#Critical_reception as proof of why this mentality of "If a lot of reviews say it's good/bad it must be true." is a very bad one and why it's better to actualy try something yourself instead of randomly flaming based on other people's opinions.

omg what happened? I heard some reviewers that its going to suck but never believed it since its gearbox

Can't wait for angryjoe on how disappointed he is then :D

yes thanks, I wasted my money on this shit

pre-purchased Torchlight 2 last year, didn't disappoint. This year, pre-purchased Don't Starve and Slender: The Arrival.

I remember playing Alien vs Predator 2 and it was awsome, played the 2010 version of AvP and it was meh. Honestly, how is Aliens: CM compared to the other two? in terms of gameplay, story, features. Graphics arent a major factor for me.

Bad Game + RU Lock Region = ???

Scumbag SEGA, their latest games are always unavailable in Hong Kong...

But seeing that this game has loads of negative reviews, I won't be thinking about getting it through other ways.

Have no sympathy for those who bought in early. Serves you right.

I love this quote:

Siding with the aliens is far more fun; believe me when I tell you there are fewer things in gaming more satisfying than creeping above a frantic marine and biting a hole through their face just in the instant they turn in your direction. It never gets old.

lol Sold!

BREAKING NEWS!!!!!! An Aliens game is sub-par. This happens with pretty much every Alien or Alien Vs Predator game.

Can you explain yourself please?

I got Sniper Ghost Warrior 2 for $ 10.50 with the credit ($12) from it and discount so it's not all that bad. The game is OK though can't find people in multiplayer.

That's quite a snobby attitude to have. Some people enjoy the game more than others.

There are several things about the game that need to be improved upon. But I'm a huge fan of the film, so getting to experience more of that universe is worth the price I paid.

I actually really enjoy the game, so much so I would say it is 8/10 worthy. It is kind of akward at times with the alien climbing controls but I honestly don't see why people are trashing on it so much.

WOOOW

Where is the joke "still better than call of duty"? I am amazed that no-one said that, usually this joke is at every bad game

Did anyone really expect anything other?

I mean, It looked good, from what I saw, but I always had that voice in the back of my head saying it's gonna fail lol.
