Gonna say, a incredibly over-hyped, lazily handled and completely disappointing game seems a good tribute to the Colonial 'game over man, game over' Marines, god rest their ultimate badass souls.

Players: What's this crap supposed to be?
Reviewers: A game, I think.
SEGA: It's good for you, boy. Eat it.

I like how the streams I've watched where that vent sets off the motion tracker the animation never stops.

The vent keeps swinging vigorously. Forever.

I'm such a big passionate fan of Aliens like Gearbox I wanted to make an authentic homage to Pitchford's current situation.

I'm Pitchford. Randy Pitchford. I work for The Company. But don't let that fool you, I'm really an okay guy. I'm glad to see you're feeling a little better. They, uh, they tell me that all the weakness and disorientation should pass soon. It's just natural side effects of playing such a lovely game, or something like that.

The problem is inherent though, if you've got people who don't even get what made Aliens work as a film they sure as poo poo arent going to be able to translate that experience into gameplay.

When I heard the only reason this game had women playable in multiplayer was because of fan outcry I figured something was up.

The movies that pretty much started the modern action movie heroine and portrayed the marines as unisex and you don't bother making women as playable until a fan says, "Wait a minute..."

Forgot about that game. It owns.

Also yeah. Get AvP Classic.

I don't really like the Redux mod for AvP Classic because of the model changes.

I liked it better when it was just getting off the ground and it was just better textures and sound.

Um, no. You vastly overestimate both the popularity of the Alien brand and the dependance of video gaming on its release. Its just a sub-par game, not the end of video games as we know them. Jesus.

Wouldn't mind seeing every physical copy of the game dumped in a landfill and buried.

Edit: Hey guys, here's some super sweet Shift codes

PS3: FJKJJ-XXX5K-WKBB5-93C3B-B3B9Z
X360: FTCBJ-3SKK6-WBRB9-KRTB3-5BBTJ
PC: XTCTT-JWZ6K-WSCSB-TJ3TB-65SZB

You get an emblem to your marine armor in multiplayer that says "Friends of Gearbox - Making Games Better" :v:

"Various visual improvements" means:

Added film grain so you can barely see the horrendous textures.

The best part about this patch is everyone flipping out about their placebo .ini fixes going away.
