Tango_Echo_Alpha Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Looks like this is going to be good, so thinking of popping a pre-order in for release day. Anyone else got it ordered in advance? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parker Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I've thought about pre-ordering this game as it does look interesting but I've been trying to limit myself of shooters so I think I'll rent it at RedBox instead of buying it. If I really, really enjoy it I'll probably purchase it to support the developers. Parker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_MovieMan29 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I'm still deciding.....tonight I am either Pre-ordering Aliens: Colonial Marines, or a nice pair of Turtle Beach headset with a mic....it's a really hard decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KitsuneChaos Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I've actually been pushing this for years now, so not having this pre-ordered would be pretty hypocritical of me. It's just great to see this finally being released (and being able to hold a physical copy) after so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tango_Echo_Alpha Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 The only thing really stopping me is an early preview video I saw, where the reviewer commented that the movement of the Aliens was a bit "jittery" and that they hoped it would be smoothed out for the final release. Have really enjoyed Borderlands in the past, so hopefully Gearbox will do justice to the franchise - also a big Aliens fan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamburger Helper Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I promised a few friends I'd pick this up for some 4 player co-op however this game is looking to be a bit... tasteless, if possible? I'm trying to be optomistic here because it does look interesting however with it's development cycle, dated facial models, Alien animations look weird? And some other stuff, this makes me want to wait for a review for the first time in a LONG time. If this game turns out to be garbage, I'll be perfectly fine picking up a copy of Hitman: Absolution for half price brand-new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone isn't an extremely hardcore Alien fan, they should follow your comment...especially on the Hitman: Absolution idea. It is the only game I Pre-ordered in 2012, and I did not regret it. Wonderful game.....horrible movie.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonderful game.....horrible movie.. Hitman was a franchise I played alot when I was a bit younger, Blood Money has the most fondest of memories (and mostly the only one I can remember). Didn't have the chance to pick up Absolution for some reasons however if this game isn't good, I won't hesistate with Absolution Purist mode sounds like so much fun Also, I've never watched an Alien film before (besides Prometheus, which was meh...) so I'd be walking into this with a neutral unbiased opinion of the title and would basically represent those who are new loking for something different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this game turns out to be garbage, I'll be perfectly fine picking up a copy of Hitman: Absolution for half price brand-new. I feel that way too. I'm really hyped about an Aliens game. I'm just a little hesitant to buy it based on screenshots and trailers only. I'm not even that much of an Aliens fan. I just think it'll be good being developed by Gearbox. I still want a damn Predator game that's worth a shit. It'd be awesome if Rocksteady would pick that idea up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLHS Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 (edited) I've been looking forward to this game for a good while now, and have been keeping up with it. I watched that 2 hour IGN live feed of SP and MP, and while graphically it's outdated, and machanically it won't really be anything groundbreaking, it still looks like a lot of fun. Been on top of reviews all morning and people are not liking it. I expected it to get mediocre reviews, but most of what I've seen is way lower than I expected. Of course, knowing how IGN is, they hated it. Surprise, surprise. I didn't preorder it, but will be picking it up later this morning. Bad reviews or no, I'm gonna have fun with this game. EGM and Bloody DIsgusting liked it, and the rest from what's out so far has either been average or poor. To each their own, I guess.

broy300 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I am an avid Alien fan, meaning I have watched Alien at least 200 times and Aliens 125 times. I was so excited to hear that not only was this canon to Aliens but my favorite FPS developer, Gearbox was now in charge! What could go wrong. Through delay after delay, I kept telling myself......It's F#%king Alien! They CANT SCREW THIS UP. Well they F#%king have. Through a good friend on this forum, he filled me in with some insider info. Everything that he said to me has now come to light as this game was released. Unfinished, Underwhelming, Poor AI, etc. F#$k YOU Randy Pitchford, Gearbox and Sega. 6 years and this is the shit we get? Yeah I'll still get it as it will be in the $20 bin within 6 weeks. I just wish I could have shared this info before many other Alien fans got f#$ked out of their $60.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splatter392 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 It may not be perfect but I still enjoy it. Haven't tried the multiplayer yet though. Looked kinda like Left 4 Dead, so I guess I'm going to enjoy it aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KitsuneChaos Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Yeah -- the in-game visuals were nothing near that of those advertised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A12 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Yeah -- the in-game visuals were nothing near that of those advertised. Every video on the PSN that says "In game footage" is exactly as it appears. Even the Tv add used igf. I don't care about the graphics as I knew what to expect. The only reason I'd say 6/10, are the technical issues (voice sync, general performance issues - which can be patched), and the Peer-to-Peer multiplayer. "Omg I'm loosing, might as well quit and screw the rest of the people that were playing!" I give gearbox credit for trying. It is Not a waste. I enjoyed the story, despite the issues I do like playing online, and the weapons are quite fun to mess around with all the different upgrades and whatnot.

KitsuneChaos Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I was referring to a good portion of advertisements; not necessarily the PSN ones. Having seen videos on a daily basis, I can say this surely. Quality of the videos were just much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
