Quote from: irn on Aug 05, 2021, 10:01:24 PMIt is also insanely illogical or downright non-sensical. I didn't think we'd see a story as bad as "aliens: rescue" so soon, but here we are...
This comic was probably one of the dumbest things related to the Aliens franchise I've ever seen. Not only was it childishly silly, the lack of imagination was ridiculous.

Full disclosure, I'm not trying to defend the comic - I haven't even read it, and the spoilers I've read make it sound profoundly stupid, to the point that it makes the Colonial Marines videogame's plot sound like Shakespeare. I'm just defending the idea that WY can manipulate the USCM to some degree. I agree that the comic treating the USCM like full-on corporate PMCs they can control 100% is dumb, but I'm absolutely okay with WY having some degree of influence like choosing personnel or dictating a mission here or there.

This story makes ACM look good by comparison.

Quote from: Nightmare Asylum on Jul 21, 2021, 10:58:54 AMThe weapon design and modification system was slick, and the art direction of the level design.
This at least has some decent art.
I'm struggling to remember anything decent about that game.
Quote from: Nightmare Asylum on Jul 21, 2021, 01:33:38 PMYou say that like it's a bad thing.
All I really remember from ACM, design wise, is a bunch of Aliens that would have felt quite at home in a blister pack with Kenner-branded cardboard backing.

As for music... I remember that one trailer that used Clint Mansell's Moon score.

I think Huggs, Xenomrph and Corporal Hicks should all send Randy an open letter of apology on AvPG letterhead.
