Thanks to Pulser for the link.
Agreed. I would just prefer to have the license ripped from SEGA's hands. Although, it was fun to play for a while (multiplayer anyways, including Bug Hunt) and I liked the extras that came with the super-fan-boy edition (love the statue).
He must be great at illusions. Making something that now looks like rubbish more desirable than it actually is.
There goes $60,000,000 and 6 years of development, shoved face first, down the toilet.
...then, there's Fox. Does anyone here want to attempt to deprive Fox of an income? I'd love to be a fly on the wall during some of the shareholder meetings on this one.
The only responsible thing that GBX have managed to deliver here is a game and 4 items of DLC. Mind you, that's at the most MINIMUM legal obligation fulfilled on their part. I can't see that amount money present on screen in the final product; and I doubt the publisher and license holder do, either. I doubt they will permit it to go unjustified without some form of accountability happening.
Either way, Pitchford's got himself a solid shitty reputation, now. Mind you, magic tricks are all about deception. He's certainly good at that.
-Windebieste.
A deadline that was extended twice (how many game publishers do you know even allow that?). They had six years and didn't do shit with what they had. They may not have wanted to create a bad game, but they didn't care enough to create a good game. That's still pretty bad; especially when you start adding on the false-advertising and other lies Gearbox/Pitchfraud pushed to sell this game.
There are deadlines and so on and when all the work comes together is not up to snuff there is so much that they can do. And they are not going to go out there and say, "Well.... this game is kinda crap so.... meh. "
This is why i dont buy games the first day they come out.
She should've said this is for Colonial Marines shiteater. lol
No-one's willing to ask the tough questions; no-one wants to get any info from this scam artist. The shift to Prometheus was... ugh. Talk about elephant in the room.
Creative Assembly please make an Alien game that will actually be based on actual survival and not a Borderlands cop out with marines and aliens running around? The aliens in AvP Classic had better VI pathing.
Do what you do best > just cash in some more Boredlands while you still have time > you know that "Destiny" is comin' to get you
