This is one of the most boring games I played in the last year or so. Jesus christ, just endless corridors, nothing's changing.

InsanityIsCrazy posted:yknow as much flak as this has already gotten, GB did just now, like minutes ago release a bug fix patch, and the game itself has been out for... about two days. So if youre gonna defend DICE like that, its only fair to reserve your vitriol until a few more patches in. They can't possibly patch in: better animations, better textures, a better plot that respects the source material. They may as well just make a new game. I get that some people have this enormous hate boner for BF3, but that doesn't really justify how terrible A:CM looks. You're literally giving them points for releasing a Day One patch, dude. InsanityIsCrazy posted:They show the service tunnel but never specify how far that tunnel runs. Creative license, bro. There's "creative license", and there's "blatantly ignoring the source material so you can wholesale lift entire setpieces and use them in fanfiction you've written".

Is giantbomb.com not working for anyone else? All the "isitdown?" sites are saying it's just me. keep getting a "Chrome could not connect". Never seen this before. Even their twitch is refusing me. Giantbomb hates me ;_; e: I'll have to settle for the recorded first look later then. ...They do record 'em right?

I'm reading the Gearbox forums and apparently the true horror is the Xbox version:quote:But what they produce here for the xbox is a shame and a cheek. Compare the graphics of the xbox version and the pc version. After 3feet sight the textures are so blurry i can't say what this object has to be. cliffs in the background got no texture, they're blank and look like abscess. quote:Ive played the PC & Xbox 360 versions of the game now & the Xbox version is absolutely shocking !! PC runs fine no noticeable issues other than a little bit of graphical bits but nothing thats to bad, then you look at Xbox version & it looks terrible, it plays really stiff & doesnt feel right at all. I dont know how the same game can feel like two totally different games, ive advised everyone i know to avoid console versions & to play it on PC.

pixelbaron posted:I need to get AvP2 AVP2 was cool, but I personally think avp99 (or classic 2000 on steam) is better. Its just more repayable because of the unpredictability and speed of the AI. The aliens aren't as scripted and run walls and are fast and scary as hell. AVP 2 is definitely worth playing through though. I wish it was for sale as a digital download somewhere.

We wanted to make sure that those logos were there and that work was represented. In big efforts, that’s not an uncommon thing.

In the escape multiplayer mode are there AI controlled trash aliens or is it literally just 4v4?

That shot of the plant over the colony proves pretty much nothing. We have no idea how tall it is (or at least, I don't, Xenomrph could probably tell us if he wasn't drowning in bourbon somewhere) and so have no idea how far it is. Perspective is a bitch. I got the idea that it was separate from the colony, but not very far away. A mile at most, maybe?
