I wish I'd seen this thread earlier lol. I can concur that the game is terrible, the AI is attrocious. I will never buy another game that SEGA or Gearbox have had any dealings with.

Have you all tried it recently, after the big patch? Apparently it fixed a lot of stuff within the game and improved graphics etc.
Im going to be trying it later tonight for the first time

Still turd. "Film grain effect" isn't a gfx improvement. It was launched months ago. Disgusting to be launched in the state it was in. Compare the pre launch trailer gfx with what we actually got.

For me the kicker was the fact that the world, the characters, the set piece design had already been done for them (ie the film). In essence the donkey work had all been done yet they STILL screwed it up.

Gibbo_GTI · 8 Aug 2013 at 23:31

The film grain effect is awful, I turned that off.

Semiskimmed · 9 Aug 2013 at 00:14

That was the first thing ive just turned off

Has the law suit been successful yet?

Ive spent 3 hours with this game now (after picking it up for £3.75!) and im holding it in quite a positive light at the minute, the variation in graphics quality is about the only thing letting it down for me but im quite willing to look past that. I can certainly see why people were left feeling conned having paid full price for it and seeing the trailers/demo though.

Martini1991 · 10 Aug 2013 at 21:08

Where'd you get it for 3.75?

Their site doesn't seem to work with chrome, can't click anything >.<

My friend paid full price for this, was beautiful game and good for a sci-fi fan, but utterly atrocious!

Witcher1979 · 10 Aug 2013 at 22:00

It has some decent mods as well, one adds a blue effect to it which looks pretty sweet. I can't remember the link but can't be hard to find.

Is this really as bad as people are making it out to be?

If so, is the earlier one to this worth playing? Wouldn't mind having a go on either.

im using chrome just fine with it, purchased it via this browser too.

and imho, its worth playing if youre a fan of aliens and can look past the ropey graphics in places.

ak22 · 11 Aug 2013 at 03:00

Aside from the graphics is the game play/ story any good? and what's the multilayer like?

If you're referring to Revellion's Alien vs Predator (2010), yes, that is worth playing. It gets a lot of hate, but if you are an alien or predator fan it is definitely worth playing. I enjoyed the marine campaign a lot.

I cant help feeling some glee, remembering all the people who hated it when it came out and gloated that the coming Sega version would obliterate it. Ho ho ho.
