Completely agree on this.
You know... It's not even that I want to bash on Gearbox or Aliens : CM. I expect better from the company that gave us Half-Life Blue Shift and Opposing Force. I expect more from Randy, who is, to a degree, part of the old guard of game developers. I expect more
When someone asks
"What? Were you actually expecting GOTY material?" As if that's too high a standard... I have to ask, Why? It wasn't for
Monolith a decade ago. Or Rebellion nearly 13 years ago.
Why should it be too high for Gearbox? This is the
Alien franchise. It deserves a genuinely triple A experience. Not something that is a mere novelty or a fashionable skin over done-to-death shooter experiences that can be had in a dozen different games.
And, Predaker, I saw your post before it disappeared. Look, we've seen most of the game in walk through form now. We've seen it from several people. I've been
reading and watching everything on the game. There isn't much left that I can get from the hands on experience that my eyes, and ears aren't already able to
figure out. In the words of Corporal Dwayne Hicks himself "We've got problems."

I couldn't agree more. If you think you can do better than go ahead and make you own game. I won't stop you. Besides I'm sure they'll patch it.
Not much experience with this brand in terms of the legal ferocity eh?(aside from this remark being a total straw man. I don't have to be a musician to judge music, why should I have to be a game developer to judge a game?) Fox has a habit of shutting people down who try. I'm shocked I haven't received a C&D for "Into the Vents" yet.
Alien Quake, foxed, computers stolen out of the creators home, a few months later AVP 99 was announced.
Several alien mods for Quake 2, GoldSRC (An online game called USCM : Infestation, dealing with similar gameplay to Infestation/Evac marines against aliens.), Quake 3, and Source were all foxed.
Believe me, there are many people who would LOVE to do it ourselves.
Also, they don't earn my respect until i'm a satisfied customer. They aren't our friend. They are a company offering a product. We're the people buying said product.
