The law of "all dropship pilots must be women".

Just pointing it out, that started with Heinlein in the Starship Troopers book from 1059, he makes the argument in the book that male and female brains are quite different when it comes to the mental capacity of space flight. The majority of the Navy are female mathematicians.

I'm pretty sure the Marines in Aliens pretty much come straight out of his book in many places.

And if you haven't had any problems with wall walking you're very, very lucky.

Or he's bullshiting because the wall walk is absolutely horrible, it's not even close to being okay.

Thanks for that... i can promise you i'm not. It's okay.

I've decided that I'm not getting this. I'm getting Far Cry 3 instead.

No... it's not. All of the controls are broken for the Alien. It can almost be unplayable at times.

Good choice, awesome game. Pirated it to try it out, played for about an hour and a half, rushed out and bought a copy for myself, my brother and my wife.

That. f**king. Good.

I disagree with it having bad controls. I can dominate as an alien.

Yep, I've been playing multiplayer now. In one game I got 20 kills and 6 deaths as an alien soldier. I found that as an alien it's only a matter of using your brain. Also the spitter isn't as bad as I thought it'd be, I used it when doing the challenge in which you had to kill 10 enemies with acid spit, I got some 1 shot kills in there. I feel I need to understand the lurker more, especially if I need to pounce 3 enemies within 10 seconds. I've been a boiler once, may be ugly but poetic when it comes to damage. I still need to try out the Crusher, I've seen it done but I never seem to get the chance.

It doesn't matter whether or not you can be successful the controls are still bad. Even with the horrible controls I would often have 2.0 K/D but the controls were still aggravating as hell. If the wall walk actually worked you could get so many more kills.

I believe that if I can do so well then the controls couldn't possibly be so bad as made out to be. Controls never even occurred to me until someone brought it up.

Well, bad or not, Rich and I seem to be f**king shit up with Aliens. And, I must be the only one who can wall climb worth a damn in this game. Only a few times has it got aggrivating. And, Cal, I know you only played it for, like, one day.

It started out aggravating, but once you know what your doing it gets better and easier to wall climb.

Your inherent sissiness cast a dubious shadow on this.

It was actually for two days  and I got a good 6 hours out of it. So why does it matter how long I had it for?

I'm on the sewers level. Right now the biggest crime this game commits, that I can quickly summarise, is that it's boring. I stopped playing yesterday to do the dishes. The thought of revisiting Hadley's Hope is better than the reality - it comes across as overly familiar and derivative, and you spend all your time trying to shake off the incredulity that the colony survived.

Honestly, when Cameron fetishised the Marines and their weaponry in the film, you can see that he's doing it to set the Marines up to fall, and for a first time viewer you almost believe that they'll be able to at least stand their ground - which they don't. This game misses that completely.
