Looks amazing for a <insert derogatory legacy console/handheld here> game
I'm not too worried since the PC version will run at 1680x1050 with 8xAA and VSync.
i sure am glad sega cancelled the aliens rpg for this original and innovative shooter yes i am

they released Aliens vs. Predator Classic 2000 just now for $5
It's the first AvP on PC and the only updates seem like compatibility with modern computers and 360 controller support. No online yet.

Exactly like Rogue Warrior, then.
The Six Pack 30
Play with six friends in a Ranked Match
I like how people are like "those kill moves are sweet, will buy" when everything else looks average or shitty.
Biggest problem is that this game is context sensitive heavy with unnecessarily long animations. Like, both Alien and Predator have insta-kill moves from behind, and this is context sensitive, and even after you land it there is a five second animation of the kill.

So the game is like Rogue Warrior then.
A shitty demo from shitty rebellion? I'm shocked
Wow dudes, character animation of the marines is really bad.
But is the game fun? And does the game look great? Everyone keeps saying the game looks great and the lighting is amazing, but I don't believe it.

That GI review is really crap :yuck...complaining about Predator heavy stealth focusAwesome! I can't wait. Glad to see OXM liked it.
Another review has surfaced...OXM UK gave it 8/10
Anyway i cant wait to to start butchering marines and aliens :hyper
:bow Predator :bow2
I don't think Game Informer has ever had the reputation of scoring games too low.
This game has been on the net for a while now. Where are the impressions, Maxy?When i finish Marine playthrough.

After the string of crap I've played in the past month, I'm going to just NOT play this at all and dodge a bullet. Will wait for some RPG to come out instead.[youtube=560,345]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8KnFm1oPMQ[/youtube]
When three mediocre games are jammed into a single package, the result is still mediocre.
But in each campaign, the thrill wears off quickly when you discover that Aliens vs. Predator botches a lot of the basics, and what seems thrilling at first becomes downright tedious as you struggle with poorly designed levels and gawky gameplay.
You'll crawl onto some walls and outcroppings willy-nilly whether or not it's what you intended to do. You'll try to activate one of the game's super-picky button prompts and jump onto a wall instead, or wrestle with the controls and camera trying to do something as simple as slither into a vent. You'll eventually learn to wield some control over the alien's fickle movement, but even then, moving around isn't all that enjoyable. You never feel in control of an actual creature; instead, it's as if you are floating just above the ground.
Executing a well-planned attack can be fulfilling, though the game doesn't create many such moments, leaving you to make them of your own accord.
Unfortunately, irritating mechanical and level design limits yank all the fun out of scurrying around (in the case of the alien) and leaping from one destination to the next (in the case of the predator). Some levels require you to move about only in ways the developer intended. You might want to scamper up and over an obstacle, only to run into an invisible wall or ceiling; and as the predator, you can leap to certain surfaces but not to others for reasons that don't always make sense. Why can you leap 20 feet to one spot, while you can't hop over a six-inch barbed-wire fence?
Enemy humanoids will do incredibly stupid things like take cover on the wrong side of a wall, exposing their backs to you. Sometimes, their ability to notice you even when you're camouflaged borders on the magical; other times, they're all but oblivious to your presence from two inches away. Civilians even run into the corner and cower with their backs to you in the alien campaign, clearly waiting to be harvested rather than making an authentic attempt to escape.
The marine campaign avoids some of these pratfalls, instead falling victim only to its own lack of ambition. After the first excellent levels, the lights get turned on and rarely go off, and everything becomes tepid and ordinary. It turns out to be just another everyday shooter checking off the old cliches; like in so many other shooters, you're a rookie learning the ropes, guided by the voice of an unseen comrade, a device the game loves so much, it uses it twice.
The attention to detail, the well-considered level design, and the sense of momentum that characterize the finest shooters are missing here.

You just seem to have shitty taste.At least i don't play Wii games,like you.
I guess the latest excuse is "so what if SP is buggy and sucky, it's all about MP anyway," in regards to an Aliens game. I mean what the fuck is going on.To be fair most of the time SP feels like playing MP with dumb marines and vicious alien horde,from predator perspective.
Anyway, I've come to the realization that MMaRsu and slasher_thrasher on GAF are better reference points than any review. If either of those two are burning brightly for a game with poor or "mixed" reviews, then it pretty much deserves the lower scores.
I hammered AvsP2 multiplayer and loved it, i assume we have similar modes in this one ?
I know this is probably going to be poop on a disk, but as a sucker for Aliens i'll probably give it a whirl.
Need to play Deadliest Catch first though to lessen my expectations some more. Went into Biocock after Mass Effect and was "uh, yeah, right, whatever! mehfest"Damn, man, you are jaded as hell. :P
A game that's "polarizing" is almost always a bad game. The group of reviewers that grade it less harshly usually ignore the obvious and glaring flaws of the title due to their blinding love for the source material, characters, or plot.I'm loving this game for the exact above reason, I love the source material. Despite it's flaws it nails the atmosphere and feeling of the films.
It's really not that hard to like a bad game but that shouldn't excuse poor gameplay because you happen to really like a certain spiky haired dough-eyed character, for example.
Impossible Mission on the C64 (well, the DS, but i'm playing it in full retro mode)
Why the fuck can I block goddamn predator BLADES with my bare hands? Who thought this was a good idea?
Why the fuck can I block goddamn predator BLADES with my bare hands? Who thought this was a good idea?Yeah it balances the game. It would be a little unfair for a single species' melee to be unblockable. That's like saying "Why the fuck can I block Zelda's sword in Smash Brothers!!??"
"The game offers a variety of different multiplayer modes, too, but on the 360 version, it was often hard to find players. You may have to wait around for five or 10 minutes before collecting enough players to get a game started."
what
Oh damn

Gerstmann rated it low as well, and he's an icon of honesty and integrity in gaming journalism. At least that's what people claim when ripping on Gamespot reviews these days.The dude's Kane & Lynch video review (the one that got him fired) didn't even show anything past the 10 minute tutorial level actually.
I doubt he assembled the footage. His achievements (for the account he used for review) prove that he played through it, however. I'm surprised anyone would think that he played no further than the first ten minutes, though.Gerstmann rated it low as well, and he's an icon of honesty and integrity in gaming journalism.

Not inaccurate, however. Mirrors how I felt at least. :\I doubt he assembled the footage. His achievements (for the account he used for review) prove that he played through it, however.
