Aliens : Colonial Marines - FPS ( They're back ! )

Oh dear Lord, please stop resurrecting this thread... just let me forget this massive turd of a "game" :( :mad:

Steam decided to troll me the other day, with this:

Yeah, nice one Steam, thanks... :rolleyes:

Like I'm gonna ever pre-order anything published by Sega again, after that complete ****ing CM debacle.

Rage :mad:
 
I've been tempted to pick this game up a few times on the cheap just to see how bad it really is

I thought it was great personally, so I couldn't disagree with that review any more if I tried. The story actually makes sense on the DLC as its what we've already experienced in the films, mixed with some clever "glue" to bridge aliens to alien 3 especially. It explains the reveal in the original game as well rather well, making that far less of a poor decision than originally thought.

The ret-con of the storyline is awful, and why are there 'Rhino' Aliens? I don't remember seeing Rhinos on LV426.

Hicks died. It may not have been what everyone wanted at the time (inc James Cameron) but that's how they wrote it when they made Alien 3.
 
Let's face it, everything filmed after Aliens was a mess :)

Besides, I thought the fight scene in the Sulaco cryosleep chamber was quite clever.
 
I don't know hat it is, I've read SO many bad reviews about this game and how utterly rubbish it is, and yet I'm still on the considering buying it when it goes on sale on Steam or similar. I just love all the Alien films and I just can't help but be drawn in by this game... I may very well live to regret that decision should I finally bite the bullet and purchase it though...
 
I think I picked it up for €2.50, at which point all the release bugs had been patched out of it. You'll get a kick out of it if you liked the film, although you may cringe occasionally at the acting :)

Ah right, so you read the review above and have never played the DLC? Thats obvious. The way the DLC explains it is perfectly fine and hes not even seen in alien 3 apart from being heavily bandaged, just like the guy is who gets put into the life pod after a fire fight, which is what activates the escape pod in the first place. You don't need a lord of the rings novel to elucidate such a storyline.
 
I've read the synopsis on the Aliens wiki, I don't need to experience the wonderful DLC to know a complete dog-**** retcon when I see it.

For a start when the atmosphere processor blew up, it would have absolutely obliterated Hadleys Hope, and yet you can walk around it in Colonial Marines and it's pretty much unscathed.

We're supposed to believe that Hicks gets woken up, eventually gets in a firefight which starts the fire (implied by Alien 3 to be caused by acid) which ejects the EEV, and JUST BEFORE THAT happens, a man falls in to his open Cyro tube and gets ejected in the EEV with Newt and Ripley. That man is mistaken for Hicks somehow.

Apparently the advanced cryo machinery in the future can't differentiate between people, and yet it knows who Newt is despite her not being part of the Sulaco original crew.

Don't even get me started on Prometheus....

You even admit not playing the DLC, so how the hell can you pass judgement on it? Hilarious! :rolleyes:
 
I'm not passing judgement on the gameplay, based on what I played in Colonial Marines (awful) and the review I've read of the DLC ("terrible") I imagine it's not going to set my World on fire.

I'm specifically talking about the storyline ret-con now, and I don't need to experience that visually (though I could just watch Youtube) to know it's a poorly written pile of horse****.
 
I welcome anything related to the Alien/Predator universe. It sucks if they suck, but at least they are still being made :). Don't over think it, you rarely see a classic game being made these days so you already know you will be disappointed.
