I wouldnt bother If I were you. I have it and I want to give it away but its tied to my steam account. This game is probably ok on the Console but sucks on the PC imo.

I bought it. Can't hurt, right?

I feel sorry for all the people who bought this at $50, but at $6.80, it's a steal. And it's cheaper than Microcenter's price for the game ($9.99 + tax).

This. Singleplayer is longer, more interesting, and has more action. Multiplayer was phenomenal, I think its dead now.

I'm too much of a fan of the first 2 games to pass up the third installment for 7 bucks, even if it was hated by everyone. On the bright side, I generally enjoy (more than expected) games I expect to hate lol.

I also picked up Dirt 2 for 5 bucks.

I got Metro 2033, too.

So far, I've spent $32 on this Steam sale. I spent around $25 during the summer sale, and $40 during the previous Christmas sale.

I got it. I loved AvP2, and don't expect anything out of the MP on this one, but I think the SP will still be somewhat interesting.

Not if it sucks it isnt. Have you even played this title ? As FPS's go this is very lame. I'm guessing that theres more of an online comunity on the consoles for this title.

In my opinion, when a game is under $10 it doesn't have to be "great", it just has to be worth what I paid for it.

That is why I buy almost any game that I have even a tiny bit of interest in when I can get it for under $10.

I played an hour or two of AvP on my 360 and was like "meh", but for the current price on Steam I am going to buy it.

If nothing else, it will look great running on my PC. :shock:

I was reading the Steam forums for AvP, and the level of rage going on there is absolutely hilarious. :lol:

I payed full retail price for this game and both dlcs at launch for the 360 version. I do not regret that decision.

It's a good game.... not as good as AvP2 but definately not as bad as most people say it is.

The MP was great fun at the start, but now it's dead...

Games aren't just about multiplayer. Much better controls and visuals on PC :P

I agree that control's on the PC are better than the Consoles but this game just dosent utilise the PC platform as well as it should. Its ported from the console and in a half assed way at that. :P

When you use the PC as your primary gaming medium eventualy you get to distinguish between the Wheat and the Chaff. I bet this game is good on the PS3 and I'm even thinking of picking it up if its cheap enough but I dont know about anybody else but AVP on the PC is very underwhelming.

I feel like I was ripped off when I bought this.

Controls are definitely better on the console versions. It's impossible to play this game with a mouse and keyboard as proficiently as someone with a controller.

I've played it on both versions and can say that the game completely, utterly, and unequivocally plays better on a controller. The simple matter of fact is that this game requires fast, precise manipulation of all buttons in a way that just can't happen with a keyboard. I played as an alien (the best example of this) using a 360 controller on the pc version last night and completely dominated every game I was in. I was getting 30-40+kills against rank 43's with lower pings.

Because it doesn't have that many control functions and doesn't need precise aiming.

I'm one of the very few people who enjoy the game. Sure the single player is short and dismal but the multiplayer can be great fun. I especially loved Infestation. It's a shame it got destroyed before it even released.


And for the record I HATED the console version and found the PC version much easier to control.

I would rather pay $7 to get my copy of AvP2 working on windows 7. Its just the better game. AvP was a major disapointment.

I've only played about 20 min of the singleplayer, but it is creeping me out (marine of course). You can't really mess up the fear factor when you have that motion tracker going and super dark areas...

Yeah true.... Marine Campaign in AvP2 scared the hell out of me.... and in AvP too....
