Quote from: Thatguy2068 on Today at 01:00:26 AMYou're just praising the mod, not the game itself you admit the game itself is not even a game.
You Compare based A:I and AFTE, To an enhance version of ACM. It's not a fair comparison. It can be easily done with either game.
The mod is not something different from the game. The mod IS the game. The way it was intended to be.
I only compared the way ACM looks to A:I and AFTE. I'm sure the latter two could be modded to look even better. But neither give us the Aliens sequel story that I had wanted since those days. ACM (with the mod) actually looks surprisingly good. Better than stock AFTE anyway. But somehow I don't think A:I and AFTE will get a complete overhaul like Templar did. (First, they are nowhere near as broken as ACM was on release) and second, they also don't really have anything to do with James Cameron's Aliens. I can really understand why Templar went out of his way to do what he did for years with ACM. He obviously loved Aliens. Thank god he did his mod.
Saying "real fans" of Aliens isn't accurate or fair. I actually mean those people like me who saw Aliens in the cinema, got their hopes up and were bitterly let down by A3. People like me felt like we finally got the sequel we wanted after 27 years. (The story wasn't perfect but it was a hundred times better than the one we got in 1992).
