My opinion based on PC version singleplayer badass difficulty. Haven´t played for long but, I do understand why people are so disappointed. I´m disappointed too. I get this feeling that I´m playing beta game (happens quite often nowadays) so my opinion currenlty on SP about 2h game time. 6/10.
Graphics are outdated, not the worst but I did hope to see at least black ops level graphics.
Sound world is awesome and also I noted that I didn´t hear the aliens move, just like in the Aliens movie. One actually sneaked behind me and I had a jump scare moment there.
A.I well I would dare to say it´s basic. Yes in my 2h game time I did see that some of the aliens tried to flank me, humans took cover and popped some grenades at me, own side marines little lacking but hey, I´m used to worse thanks to Cod and Battlefield. They did manage to kill some aliens so they are not completely useless. But because GB guys hyped the "they can come from the vents" etc. I did ummm...what´s the word..well lets say I waited for better A.I. I mean that it´s funny when the lurker goes behind table to hide like ashamed animal xD I could clearly see where it was whole time.
Control of the game is good, better than AvP(3) and modifying weapons do affect somewhat to the aiming speed and mobility.
Animations are lacking, yes I did manage to get some limbs of from the enemies but why did it die? AvP series aliens would crawl at me if lost limb. Also the acid blood effect is lame. Thou I have died because of the acid so yes, it´s hazardous at least on the hardest difficulty.
Oh yes, there will be bugs...like bugs bugs net the alien bugs. Clipping, pathing errors, bad textures, invisible walls etc.
So I do believe that when I got this for my PS3 there will be patch by then (hopefully) in a week or so. Hotfix I think.
Also because I´m going to play the campaign coop I bet it will affect my rating with +1
In my books that means, game is playable, it´s not perfect, if you like this type of game you might consider buying it (even more so if the MP is good), suggested price 30-45€ (something like 50$) or wait till price drops if you are not a fan of the series or this type of games.
Currently in my own humble opinion , better than AvP (just a little) also ,if patched properly and not abandoned it could be even better.

So for those that have played it, should I just plan on playing thru it on the hardest difficulty setting, or is that "frustrating hard"? I plan on playing CoOp only with my brother, we are both avid FPS players.
Go for the badass. Because of you are good at FPS games I see no point playing any easier level.
