Ok there are exceptions, however are you trying to say that because someone else did it it's OK? Because if you are I won't be listening to your opinion on anything ever. Also there is absolutely no comparison between that and A:CM.

Probably because Farcry 3 was actually a good game, most reviews placed it in the best of 2012. The Farcry 3 demo may have looked different, and it did, however the game behind it was basically exactly the same.

er...no, I'm saying that a good portion of publishers have lied in their on-stage demos in recent years and making a statement like "EA and UBI don't lie about their games" is borderline idiocy as they constantly bleat about features to be included, of which a large portion never make it. That FC3 comparison is just as misleading as the ACM comparison - ergo, Ubi created a misleading demo to LIE to the consumer.

Makes me wonder why gearbox said they wre the developers for so long if thats the case, so another team done most of the work, and if so whos responsible for the bs "demo" and why did gearbox go along with it as if that was what the game would be like? Almost sounds like this game came about somewhat like DNF, another team done most of the work, gearbox finished it off and released it. :confused:

Yes it is misleading, HOWEVER unlike A:CM there was no review embargo up until the games release AND the game received nearly universal praise from critics, A:CM didn't allow reviews until after release and was then almost universally slated.

The two situations are not comparable. Not to say I agree with biscuits trailer, however it is in no way comparable to the level of difference between the A:CM Demo and its release state.

An interesting little comparsion between the "gameplay" trailer and the release game.


Personally I'm...shocked, I can really see why they had a review embargo now, basically they lied to everyone, fabricated a gameplay demo to entice both customers and the press and then released the botched piece of garbage (in comparison) they had actually made without anyone being able to have a real idea of what they were buying.

At least when you buy a DRM riddled Ubisoft game or some EA moneygrabber you generally know what you are getting, they don't actually LIE to your face about what the game is like.

Now you may like and enjoy the game and if so, that is fine by me. However even so, you should not stand for this ****.

hahaahhaa. Literally rolling on the floor at this. This is so fail
 
Both the Far Cry 3 and Colonial Marines videos just show how much the now geriatric consoles are holding back gaming graphics (in a technical sense) and how much they have to water down the look of the games.

Those next gen consoles can't come soon enough.
 
I have stopped playing the game now in hope to see some epic patch(es).....

It is decent enough fun, but still pretty poor especially when you are doing the missions where you are only against other soldiers, no aliens at all :/

Also noticed that when aiming down the sight with some guns, the bullets don't seem to hit anywhere where you want to, not even on the first shot.......
 
The angry joe vid bring up a few good points. I don't expect any real honesty from gearbox on the subject though, this is the same dev that claimed the first 2 brothers in arms games on pc weren't ports but were "developed side by side with the console versions". Oddly enough they just happened to have the 30fps cap, low res models, low res textures, incredibly floaty mouse controls..etc. Everything you'd associate with a direct port over.

Even Hells Highway had pre-rendered demos masquerading as gameplay, there was a demo of it shown at gamecon 06 and the final product was missing a ton of what was shown.

Theres plenty of rage being directed at gearbox over this, so far they seem to be ignoring most of it. :rolleyes:

Idd in multiplayer I have see this many times. But I went back to the Iron sights and only shoot in sort bursts at long range.

+ I am loving the Tactical Shotgun in most maps this is my main gun now. When running around in the dark all by myself you count on a few aliens to be on your tail. Spin around and let Rip!! :D

Anyone know why steam is saying below?

ALIENS COLONIAL MARINES PLEASE FIRST ACTIVATE ORIGINAL GAME

It seems that the key for the game has been put on the LE DLC card and the key for the DLC has been put on the game manual. So basically if you have two keys, use the other one.
