game informer can suck my nuts because AvP is epic

:( atleast they apoloized. lol…shut up Tool xD

omg i cant even imagine playing this game on console, i runs flawless on comp.

Don’t know what to think. I’ve bouthg recently the first AVP on Steam, and after that decided to purchase the PC AVP 2010. I’ve bought bad reviewed games in the past, and I’ve never been wrong with my selections, neither tihs AVP. Pred-Fan forever!!!

Well the guys first problem is reviewing for a console mag. PC will always rule, and the 2nd is.. well he’s an idiot. I’ve played the crap out of the bugged out demo and love it. I got your backs rebellion.

I think no one will be disappointed with this game when it’s officially out!

Tool is one of the persons who makes pc v console wars happen,

And i actually think hes a kiddo of around the age of 10 maybe 12

Gameinformer has always been like that, extremly negative about game reviews, they even found loads of problems with all the halos and modern warfares:huh: :huh. I played the demo and it was a blast.:smiley:

That GameInformer review is terrible. The reviewer obviously knows nothing about AVP because one of the complaints he makes if that he doesn’t like the motion tracker because its too loud! Its suppose to be loud so you know when your about to be killed. And obviously he doesn’t get the point of the flashlight- Its suppose to limit your vision!
I have more complaints but im starting to ramble.

I really hope this one terrible review doesnt cause a bunch of canceled pre-orders and people choosing to buy Bioshock instead.

To be fair, Halo 2 and 3 sucked compared to the first.
and CoD4 beats CoD6 anyday.
CoD2 still beats CoD4 though :P
i could find alot of problems in CoD4 and 6.
But.. on topic – the avp demo is awesome and i cant wait for single player, its just sad that the predators are at a disadvantage in the map and cant get very good vantage points except the blatantly obvious ones that aliens love to hang at.
Although i saw an out-door forest map played and it looked amazing for preds and i cant wait for that, also for singleplayer to;
1. Bully marines and pick them off slowly.
2. Bully scientists :P
3. Shit myself and scream mindlessly, i refuse to play the marine campaign during daylight :P

Doublepost<3 soz
@JediMasterGabe – Whats wrong with bioshock?
ive bought both AvP and Bioshock.. and Bad Company :P :P

I think those who post comments like “I cancelled my order based on this demo” usually end with “and I didn’t like the game anyway” so let them by Bioshock. It’s probably a better game FOR THEM. I’ve waited years for this. It’s not everything i wanted (I wanted split screen co-op for the single player campaign) but it’ll be enough. Expecting a good 7.5 maybe 8 in reviews- hopefully better!

okay thanks well u guys at least there trying u know they could just as easy not fix it.

Ok guys those of you who saw the review don’t go getting second thoughts now. He dosent know crap! I agree with JediMasterGabe that he has no clue what hes talking about, I mean he was saying how the alien controls are horrible. When I play the demo Alien is my fav and I think the controls are AMAZING!

So people dont worry about this stupid review this guy has no clue what hes talking about. And also
ALIEN FTW!!!!

In the demo, Rebellion put a message that said “This demo is based on pre-release code and DOES NOT reflect the quality of the final product.”

meabe is a fake review
i really expect a good review for this game

xbox360 rules PS3. sorry PS3 owners but its a simple fact, your machine is not made for online gaming, just keep playing on your own and watching your blue ray DVDs, or get a 360.

What a bad review,my god!!.

@Farow: All I meant was that Bioshock and Dante’s Inferno are likly to be AVP’s main competition, I have nothing against Bioshock.

Also going back to how bad that Gameinformer review is, the guy said he was easily disoriented by playing as the Alien; well that shows how dedicated he is to trying to enjoy the game. If anything it shows what a terrible gamer he is in general. It took me 5 mins to get used to playing as the Alien.

I’m still not sure how its all going to pan out. But I”m hoping its good.

One thing though, looking through all the articles and links above, I’m a little unclear on how the game is actually going to “look”. After playing the demo, NONE of it looks as good as it does in those game shots found in the articles. I’m not saying the game looks bad, but it certainly did not reflect the images on display in the above articles. So, I’m curious just how polished the finish product is going to be, and just how close its going to look to the images we’ve seen sprung up just about everywhere.

I do have to admit 360 get more exclusives which can be an annoyance. But still love my ps3, least we don’t have to pay for a gold account to play this! :P

I don’t understand how rebellion did not see this coming with the PS3? shouldn’t of a couple of testers installed it on their systems and tried to connect, before they released the demo?

That’s weird. I managed to enter a game on the PS3 yesterday, and I don’t have anyone on my friends list.

Sounds like the reviewer did what most scrubs have done. Played it. Got killed a lot. Then decided it sucked because of his poor proformance. I mean if he is bad at the game must mean that the game sucks right? What a moron. L2P. I mean Jesus…. Looks like he wrote a good review of about a couple minutes of each campaign and a breif multiplayer match before getting his ass killed and turning to right his hate review. It has “I suck at videogame written all over it.

I know that on this thursday that OXM gona give full review on avp and i think it will get good if not i hope a really great review cause 2 befare it deserves one don’t ya all think never bloody mind that jerk off over at game-informer what a total moron lOl i mean come On wtf lOl Gamespot my favourite reviewer and AvP will be between 8.5 or rather 9.2 fingers crossed but i am a big fan 2 lOl

this game informer is retarted the marine radar is supposed to be loud so you can actually pay attention to it not like other games that have the smallest and inacurate radar. And i dont get how the alien gets you disorientated its good for me

If anyone has been reading Gameinformer lately they would know that alot of games are not even given a chance for a decent review. I mean every issue it seems has a list of the reviewers favorite games and at least 2 of them’s number 1 game has been World of Warcraft since the game came out.

Other then that they can’t stop masturbating thinking about bioshock 2 which I’m sure will be great but just because other games are good or maybe even better doesn’t mean a game sux..

Sounds like this guy got totally raped online….poor melee combat? This dude needs to go some place seriously….learn to play a fucking game before you bashed you fucking prick.

Pffft… yeah I got my new issue of GI today and the review’s a joke. Critics… seriously, after playing the crap outta the demo (and still goin’ at it) it’s f***’n AMAZING.

Regarding their comments on the controls (specifically the Alien) or the CQC system, they must be pretty damn horrible at video games ’cause it’s worked like a charm for me and I’m nothing to brag about. And the gfx, did he even play the same game? ‘Cause they’re gorgeous.

Anyway… I can’t WAIT for next week!

Game Informer is running defense for 2K on behalf of Bioshock 2, which I will have to get…after AvP.

I can’t wait for this game to come out

The whole demo launch is a fiasco.

Yeah, he complains about the enviorments and lighting effects. WTF? They look pretty fucking awesome from what I have seen. Go swallow a knife GameInformer. I can’t believe I just signed up for a year of their narrow minded scribble. Maybe I’ll wipe my ass with their pages while I read my Avp comis just to refresh myself on the awesomeness.

Put it this way if this game was made up creatures I would probably thought I was playing the worst game I ever played. Im sorry but the fact that its aliens and predators is the only reason we like this game. For me anyway.
It does deserve a 5

Since when did gameinformer let 14 year olds review video games? Honestly it seems like the person who reviewed AVP doesn’t know anything about video games. Especially the fact that AVP is practically 3 games in one. In what other game can you walk and run on any surface? And rip people throats out? Or go cloak and rip humans heads off with wrist blades with such detail. Or being scared the crap out of in a dark room with a flash light and nothing but xenomorphs crawling all around you? This is one of a kind game! I think gameinformer should start hiring 18-30 year olds to review there games cus these older guys don’t know what there talking about, they should go stick to there pac-man machine In there basement. Sorry for the rant.

This game will look its best on a high end PC with Direct X 11. Those good looking images we’ve all seen are probably Direct X 11 images.

I don’t agree spoon. :/ Sorry.

Judging from all your comments (for the record i havent got the demo ) it sounds like AvP is the shit. With regards to the reviewers comments; isnt that what the game relys on? Dark environs to immerse the player with a forboding sense of impending doom? Absolut vodka slogan works well here: Absolut crap review.

This turd of a games reviewer sounds like he belongs to the Christian group opposing the R18+ rating here in Oz that was on another famous games site starting with i…..

I hope they fix the PS3 demo soon… I’m tired of having to always wait for my friends to be playing so I can play.

I want to be able to play with strangers too.

all i can say is that consoles are nothing compared to pc ,and avp will beat bioshock

PLEASE ANSWER! Sorry for caps.
Will the X360 have pre-order multiplayer skins? I noticed the PS3 and PC had the three unique skins for each race… But I didn’t see the bonus in pre-ordering for the 360. Will it?D: I want to prove that I was apart of the “Omfg I can’t wait for AVP” community!!!
Also.. I don’t know about you guys but that Pred skin that comes with pre-order is pretty badass. :) – Just imagine that mask being on your screen as he tears your head off. >:D

I got into a game last night on PS3, took about 4 minutes but i got one (and owned), so it is working. I still rather PC version for its crystal clarity and accuracy. Cant use control pads for a FPS, always been a fan of the mouse and keyboard.

wow 14.000 ? that’s a very small number.. Guess it aint too popular huh ?

@ironseven ~ thats just x-box live dude. Dont forget PC and PS3 would have had about the same.

Ben Reeves is the guy from Game Informer who reviewed it. He’s a freaking tool and always gives games ridiculous scores. I think he does this to be the odd man out. That or he’s just a biased prick with very bad taste.

Ben Reeves can take his review and go slippy fist himself. I hope no one takes his review to heart. If you enjoy the demo and are a fan of the source material, critic scores be damned!

I’m gonna be honest here…I love the AVP demo, but it really isn’t the greatest. It could be better. I’m trying to not be in fanboy denial. I’m still going to buy it, and I will enjoy the shit out of it, but it’s more Left 4 Dead, than Call of Duty. Left 4 Dead is pretty damn popular, and that’s why it doesn’t matter, but the point being is that it’s very arcade-ish. It’s not as detailed as it could be, and it lacks some of the features other FPS have, like zooming and crouching. I’m just saying from a technical standpoint, it’s not anything spectacular. But neither was the game Prototype, and that was still really fun to play. Graphics aren’t everything. But I’m not gonna kid myself and say it’s the “pre-release code”. Chances are the actual game will be exactly the same, and I have yet to see a demo on PS3 that looked any different than it’s final version.

Hey Guys! I’ve been playing the demo for a couple of days and I say it is great. Only one thing annoyed me, remember the freedom of being able to pounce or leap as an alien….it seems as though the pounce in this avp is good until you suddenly lose force…maybe its just me…I remember AVP2 when you could pounce from ledge to ledge, or as a marine or pred taking out an alien who was mid air and pretty high up….but apart from that it’s cool! Thumbs up!

The GI review means little to me, since the first AVP was also blasted by a few gaming mags (the largest being Computer Gaming Monthly which gave it a 6/10 I believe.) I will wait for the Gamespot and IGN reviews….the original scored above an 8 there and if this one does I will buy it. Unfortunately, a game that is UNIVERSALLY panned is usually not worth your money- mainly because it is less a matter of opinion and more the presence of some universally off-putting flaw. The Demo, for me, is fun (especially as the Alien) but I am hoping the final version has more graphical options (for the PC) and crouching (it’s important for the Pred.) The facial animations are top-notch (Crysis quality) in the demo, but the lighting & backgrounds need some DX11 work and Anti-Aliasing.

@JT ~ what platform are you using to play because PC is solid. I did play the PS3 version and must admit I was disappointed in the quality compared to some games I have played (i.e. ghostbusters in 1080p) but I still had a blast ripping off marines skulls.

Sorry jedimastergabe but Dantes infeno was an epic fail. Bioshock 2 may be a fair competitor though along with red dead redemption and fallout new vegas.
