Yes, I'm almost 90% sure it's going to end up like Duke Nukem Forever. They couldn't even recreate the most basic things from movies while claiming to deliver ABSOLUTE, ULTIMATE AND UNPARALLELED LEVELS OF AUTHENTICITY!!! Take a look at this thread, but be wary, it might contain spoilers, how much FAIL IS THERE IN THE GAME from purely a standpoint of comparing the layouts of things like Sulaco ship and Hadley's Hope Colony. And the most pathetic thing of all is they worked with the original designer from the movies!!! http://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/index.php?topic=47052.0

Gearbox are pathetic liars, a lot worse than Peter Molyneux. And SEGA might be the worst publisher of all times!!! I wanted to make a separate thread about this and I will most likely do that, still... However, I want to play the game first to make sure myself... And then we should nuke GBX/SEGA and Randy Pitchford from the orbit. That's the only way to be sure.

I would not call Duke Nukem forever a "flop" its a good unique game. 

ultimate-k

It is, but people did not understand what DNF is about. How many first person shooters have a strip club mission where one of the objectives is to find a condom?

Exactly it introduced gaming to so many immature people. Its unique.

A game is never terrible until i have played it to determine whether it's terrible or not, Resident evil 6 was slsted hard-i loved the Game, Avp 210 was slated hard, again- i loved the game, i like to see for myself and being a huge Aliens game i should give the game a chnace, better to play it and realise it's bad than to sit and wonder whether i might actually have enjoyed the game:)

I also hope but there's so much evidence to the contrary - oh and btw I still keep my preorder... BTW take a look at the hype thread:

This game is Fanservice,it's aimed at hardcore Aliens Fans like myself and quite a few thousand other people, if you are not a fan of the subject matter then it's probably not for you.delta3074

QFT, this might be the Aliens 3 I've "almost" always wanted. ACM isn't for the CoD scrubs or the graphic whores, it's for the fans who've always wanted to see more of the Aliens film/story.

I'd rather experience it myself than listening to someone's opinion, it's like if I said pizza sucks, would you take my word on it?

(Fyi I love pizza)

Apart from the lighting the game looks very unpolished, some of the textures look as bad as a late 90's game and the animations are just terrible.

Sega did a stealth release, and impressions indicate that the game is pretty terrible. I suppose Nintendo fanboys must be happy since the wii-u version was delayed & pending cancellation. Since the game will be a major flop, I expect the wii-u version to be officially canned shortly.

I knew it was terrible from the moment I saw the trailer ... in fact before that, from the moment I knew Gearbox was making it. They're just terrible.RR360DD

 

Gearbox only did the multiplayer aspect of the game.

Timegate Studios were the ones who developed the singleplayer campaign.

That's already been debunked.

Dun't sii huw ot wes e DNF flup whin ot nivir ivin wes tu bigon woth.

((Don't see how it was a DNF flop when it never even was to begin with.

All I've seen in the past few days are videos and gameplay footage that has actualy been bringing down people's expectations. DNF on the other hand was a flop straight out of the oven, A:CM was a flop that was out of the oven and left to cool on the countertop.))

Gearbox is becoming a s**t show developer when it comes to any game that isn't their original IP. They just stick to making their own games rather than trashing their brand with stuff like Aliens and Duke Nukem.

Just started playing this. It's actually not too bad if you crank up the difficulty.

No Horde Mode in the vanilla version, it's gonna cost 10 or 15 bucks as a DLC!
