At a point the game was going to be written by a couple of guys from Battlestar Gallactica... right? What happened to that?

After destroying Duke Nukem and now Aliens which are huge franchises I would do total lay offs at Gearbox.   Hire me!   LOL

Gearbox did not destroy Duke Nukem. They were just the studio tasked with the job to patch together a game, that went 14 years through development hell. Their job was to make it functional, so it would finally see the light of day.

Once again, no. That's just not true. They bought the entire license, they had full creative control. The remnants of 3D Realms were absorbed by them into a smaller team called triptych, but the heads of Gearbox had COMPLETE creative control. They had the game in their control for two years. In that time they made major changes to the script, and to the character of Duke Nukem. The multiplayer side was handled under them entirely (outsourced to another studio under their direction.). They were responsible for all the DLC and patch work that was coming out. They made the choice to purposely give the finger to the DNF community by locking out the developer console, and locking out any attempts to edit the graphics or anything else. They made the failure that is Duke Nukem Forever. Yes, they destroyed Duke Nukem.

Look at the bright side: in three months the price will plummet to $20 and you can own this game on the cheap.

Wish Gearbox would just go away... Do something right for a change guys.

Single player is always an after thought for me on any game

That's why you can look at it in a favourable light. Obviously, for millions of players (and tens, if not hundreds of reviewers) single player is the most important feature of a game.

That's why Activison and EA still spend millions upon millions of dollars developing a six hour single player campaign for COD, Battlefield and MOH, because it's the be all and end all of many a gamers experience. If it wasn't important any more, these MP behemoths would do away with it completely.

can you tell is there any other view when playing alien except for behind? No first person view? And how to change it?
