Hi everyone
Though I´ve not finished the game (I´ve only completed 5 missions of the SP), I think It´s time for me to share my personal opinion with you. I´ll try to explain myself as good as my english skills allows me...be awared of the language issues.
First of all I´d like to give you some context; I´m a fan like you. I´ve been playing for years to AVP and other "Alien related games". Needless to say that I also enjoy the films in a way only you can imagine. The day the game came out, I bought for it my PS3. I was really excited and I wanted it to be great.
Having saind that, let´s start with the review: Words can not express how dissapointed I am. In previous post I read someone saying something about "It´ s our duty as players to let people know we´ve been deceived". Those fans also mentioned that we are entitled to complain, for this game is an insult to us (not only to us as fans but also as costumers). Well, right now I can say They were absolutelly right. I couldnt agree more with their statements for there is no possible way to defend this game.
At the begining (I mean, during the first minutes of the first mission) I thought to myself "well, grafics are dated but I´ll be able to cope with it". But that impression dissapeared as soon as aliens started moving. That was the moment in which I realised how wrong things were. The game feels so broken, so incompleted...
Since a picture is worth a thousand words, I´ll refer to the video in which differences between the E3 DEMO and the actual game are showed. That´s how Gearbox have treated us; just like if we were stupid. I can imagine Pitchford laughing and saying "oh, lets make another video saying how good this piece of crap is, those suckers are buying it anyway!"
The mayor crime this game commits is that It´s continually displaying the potencial this franchise has. I found myself thinking "oh if they had done this and that the game would be amazing...". Hell, I must confess I really enjoyed the raven mission! (as a matter of fact I think It´s the only thing that safes the game for getting lowers reviews). But that´s the thing! I found myself doing efforts to like the game, and that´s unacceptable.
The multiplayers is fun but again, I cant help but think Im just enjoying it because of my love to aliens. What would be the opinion of those who do not share that feeling?.
I could go on forever, but Im afraid Im just repeating what others have said. To sump up, It´s a pitty... and a shame. I cant stop thinking... How long will we have to wait until a good alien game? Maybe ACM has killed the last opportunity we had...Damn you Gearbox, Damn you Sega or whoever the hell was responsible of this!
