I just made the purchase this morning as I have been waiting patiently for a price drop all year. I am very excited to finally play the game. I know there were other forum members waiting for this game to come down in price as well, in particular Monkeyspot. If you own the game, or if you will purchase because of this deal, please add me so we can check out the multiplayer.

Sorry, but my browser won't let me post links.

PSN ID is georgemiller.

OooooooooO... And I have money in my Amazon account. It was ear-marked for my new Kindle, but perhaps just this once...

:lol:

... I'm so torn. I really need some new reading. Thanks, SNES!

I chose the slow, free shipping so I won't be on for about a week. However from what I hear the game had a dead MP about a month after launch. Hence why we should group up if interested in the game. I hear the maps are rather small so I am sure we can have a good time with 4-6 people. I have my buddy on the fence and I think he may grab it as well.

No problem man. For some reason when I saw the price your name popped into my head. Haha. Can't really go wrong for $14.99, even if I only get to play the campaign.

Haha, thanks dude. While I respect your opinion, I have done my research and I know what I am getting into. As a game, maybe it is slightly mediocre or even mediocre at best in some peoples eyes. However, when you are a fan of the source material, your perception will be different than someone who is either unfamiliar, or uninterested. In my case I will enjoy it more than somebody that is strictly looking for a "good" game. I do not know how you feel about the previous PC games or the films, so let me know about that. As stated before, I know the MP is dead.

dude i loved the alien movies and predator movies not the avp movies and alien 3 and resurrection
and i even loved the comics
i did play the pc games a few times they were pretty good but could be better
reading and experiancing are two completely different things

Well, I guess I will have to report back after a few gaming sessions. We have the same opinions on the films though. The new Predators film was garbage though IMO. I would like my $10 back from the cinema on that one.

It's a very fun game, has it's problems, but the brutal finishing moves that you can perform with both Predator and Alien are the highlight of the game.

I just bought this for the PC due to a sale!!! XD. I used to own when it launched on the Playstation, but man-O-man is the multi-player fun when you get it going on. I honestly think they should lower the price of the DLC(6.99 to 4.99). I really wanted to try out the new swarm maps.

You're correct, SNES, we were discussing the game over the summer I believe.

Usually my name pops into people's heads when they look at a mud puddle or a dog-log on the lawn...

:lol:

But I played (and still have, installed on the third laptop since purchase) the PC game from the late 90s or whatever, so that's why even though it has teppid reviews and horrendous player feed-back I really feel the need to play through it before I croak... so against all reason I too, feel compelled to purchase it at some point. I'm certain everyone here is absolutely correct in their warnings and such, and I appreciate all of the red lights and "Turn Back NOW" posts...

:D

Who says we don't care about each other?

Haha, yeah man. I am not expecting a pile of gold. I appreciate the warnings as well, but stamp Rebellion and Sega on the box and give me source material that I love and it is hard for me to ignore it. You should friend request me on PSN and if you do ever get around to picking it up, I will have a copy and we can get down.

Please tell me your joking! Your willing to overlook the hundreds of other flaws with the game just because of the kill moves.. Your pathetic.

I overlooked many flaws in The Godfather 2 because of the executions. I mean, making a gangster get on his knees, shoving a Tommy Gun in his mouth and unloading a couple of bursts does get rid of the frustration of monotonous missions and lackluster graphics. Anyway, please don't call someone pathetic because of their opinion. Even if you are e-friends with VenomRaptor it is still uncalled for man.

I will not excuse him for such stupidity. That's basically saying to the gaming industry, hey guys! We don't care if a game is as bad as E.T as long as it looks nice!

It is much more polite to respectfully disagree. We are here to help and learn from each other. The video game industry is formed around opinions, and consensus on these opinions is what will make a game sell a 1,000,000 copies or 100 copies. There will always be those people who hate a blockbuster title, and then there will be people who love a game that was critically demolished. Please just show some respect because your opinion holds no more weight than anyone elses.

This from someone who can't spell "grievous", which in fact perfectly describes his/her presence in this thread.

Seriously, you don't need to insult someone based on their prefs in gaming. I'm sure there are more than a few games in your collection we would all have some fun roasting you for. You don't need to apologize here in this thread because it's obvious you feel cornered and perhaps a bit sheepish for being so overbearing, but in the future you should take a breath and consider the user agreement put forth by this website and not insult other users. It's ok that you don't agree; It's not ok that you make personal attacks when voicing said viewpoint, calling people names.

Just as you said its formed around opinions. So when people start giving off the vibe that we only care about visuals, what do you think is going to happen to the gaming industry? It'll be full of nothing but stunning visuals with nothing else. Btw, also pointing out that AvP has terrible visuals and animations.

I am not standing up for anybody. Namecalling simply leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I love this Gamespot community and I just want it to be a better, more respectful place. Many great posters have left this site due to immaturity and senseless posting.

Although a bit off topic, that is a good point to consider. I agree that to like a game based only upon visuals is silly. But consider this, aren't video games just as much about visual stimulation as they are interactive stimulation? A good game to me should have both. I look forward to forming my own opinion about AvP. I appreciate your input though.

The single player wasn't all that bad IMO. 3 unique campaigns for the price of one. All together they were surely longer than the typical Call of Duty FPS and it was pretty cool that each campaign played COMPLETELY differently. You could do ALOT worse for a game in the $14.99 bin. Multiplayer on the other hand.... lets just say it was completely busted. Just pretend the game doesn't have multiplayer. Matchmaking takes 10 minutes to find a match, and if the host leaves, prepare to wait another 10 minutes. I tried for probably 2 hours and MAYBE got to play 5 games.

IamBEASTMODE
You'd be right, i bought it on launch and within a week it started taking 20 minutes to find a match and even then every little kiddie playing went Predator and if you locked the ratios to 1 pred and then 2 marines and 2 aliens everyone left because they couldn't go predator... Poor game online and singleplayer aint much better.
