Well this is embarrassing.
Here is my AVP games list in chronological order,
Had AVP (1999) working on my very old DELL PC, but AVP 2 wouldn't work in 2003.
Got AVP 2 working on a basic ASUS, but AVP 2010 wouldn't work in early 2010.
Long story short got a Business PC with maxed out processor and wacked in a GPU upgrade from Ebay.
I now have AVP 2010 working and..................I am a little disappointed to say the least.
I reloaded this general lotz video review (gaining him a 336 likes against 175 dislikes).
I agree that AVP 2010 is graphically spectacular and is the ALIENS VS PREDATOR future war movie we never got. The production values and nods are absolutely out there.
BUT the gameplay is, as he said, been "COD-ified" (Call of Duty does ALIENS). Rather than interact you wait, wait, wait for someone to open a door and you just shoot whatevers there.
Works for COD doesn't work for ALIENS.
Where is the exploration, where is the skill?
I've heard the ALIEN specimen campagn is good but yet to play that arc.
