So, you have purchased and played the game? Write a freaking REVIEW instead of just saying its crap.

As much as I hate to link to metacritic, it must be done.

Not saying the game isn't bad, because I myself haven't purchased/played it. But the OP didn't give any reasons so... yeah.

Honestly I played it after reading the reviews... It really is that bad and possibly worse for anyone who is actually expecting something decent from a pc fps.

The marketing strategies were pretty dirty and I find it even worse that a major publisher would release something like this.

I've heard that they were into some dreadful things regarding advertising. As that a Demo for journalists was not actual content on the game and things like that.

It's not for the game being crappy. Which seems to be for everything I've heard. I haven't played the game myself, not intend to do so in a near future.
What I meant is that there would be flame wars between butthurt fans, trolls and people legitimately disliking the game and the kind of fans that will fight with teeth and nails for this great game being recognised as such.

TB: should you preorder games?
On the other side, i think i saved myself lots of moneeeeeeeee

+1, although I pre-ordered The Cave, mostly because I trust Double Fine to make decent games, partly because of free TF2 stuff. I'll think about my pre-orders from now on.

Double Fine made The Cave?!? If I had known that I would've wanted it more....
Double Fine is excellent.

Good points on the video, but could have been as long. Jeeez.

That wasn't Gearbox. Blame 3D Realms. Gearbox essentially polished what they could from what 3D Realms gave them.

Game is bad but their decision to resurrect Dwayne Hicks is worse. He's impaled in a cryotube and clearly shown to be dead in the movie and yet he's alive in the game. Apparently some other poor fellow decided to go to sleep in his tube and died. Sure.

I played the original Team Fortress quite extensively years ago and loved it, but personally I don't understand the whole TF2 items mentality and consider the whole thing a bastardization of what once a great game (just my opinion). I also would most likely never shell out any cash for a cosmetic in-game item. Just seems like a way to sucker people.
Comment has been collapsed.
For me I love the items, it adds a lot of character to the game. The game play is still fantastic, so honestly unless you just mean only aesthetically I don't see how hats can ruin a great game. Also saying people who buy cosmetic items get suckered would imply they were deceived somehow which is not the case. I don't think anyone buying a cosmetic item has any notion that it is anything other than a cosmetic item. If by sucker you simply mean that I bought something I don't need, then yes, but of course if that's what you mean then we're all suckers.

Honestly shut up and don't complain about cosmetic only cash shops... Sucker or not nothing in game forces people to get them this way.
The only other two options are having a cash shop that offers boons in game to people who pay for them or to have the game cost money to start with...
Having cosmetic only items is awesome and I just cannot get why people complain about them, personally I ignore cosmetic only items that I would have to buy in any game but the fact that others choose to isn't something that I will ever have an issue with.

I doubt it is a coincidence that Sega/Gearbox enforced a review embargo, in an attempt to make sure that no reviews were published before release day.
The game was stuck in development for five to seven years. It hit controversy when Gearbox didn't deem it worth making a playable female, even though it was licensed tied to the idea of strong female characters (which they later backpedaled on and reworded their statements after people complained.) There was the "canonical sequel to Aliens" hype, combined with questions of how that would work. There was the dudebro trailer which implied Gearbox completely missed the point of Aliens, the trailer which the game's writer distanced himself from. And then there was the review embargo.

Review embargoes exist to keep people from cancelling pre-orders. Publishers can sometimes make claims that it is to keep different review sources (such as print versus net) on an even playing field, but it really comes down to preserving as many pre-orders and day one purchases as possible.
Not all games have review embargoes, and the terms of embargoes vary. Some, for example, let reviews be posted before the game release date. Others, like Colonial Marines, restrict reviews to release day.

Most games are. There's a difference between an overhyped decent game and an overhyped abysmal one.

I am just watching live stream from it and looks really good, I will for sure get it some day on a sale. Btw. I am fan of L4D series and I played AvP 2.
Btw. I see amazing amount of hate on Twich's chat - hate, not criticism - even other people started reacting on it. Looks like bad reviews are enough for some people to write worst things about a game. Even if it would be below average it doesn't mean it's not worth 1 cent, that's just stupidity.

I bought it and will play it. I may not enjoy it or I might. At least I'll be making my own opinion on it and not basing it off of everybody elses.

What I don't understand is why people had such high expectations about this game.
