I understand. I too have waited for too long for this damn game to finally play It, and It really sours me what they have done with the aliens and the story alike. I might understand GB can't do anything with the aliens since Fox has been targeting both casual and kiddy audience since AR, and adapting which was once a really scary human-like beast to their..., "tastes", but also I don't want them to treat us like idiots and still trying to make us see these new generation lolaliens as true old Cameraliens.
Thing is that I wasn't actually expecting this game to go down that damn casual road too (regarding the very aliens of course), and I admit this caught me off guard completely because after all we were promised 100% material truthful to the old movie, and I though this was going to apply to the aliens too. I thought the lolalien "concept" would see an end with AVP2010 and that everything in that regard would be treaten more in serious next time. Well, I was proved wrong, foolish me.
I really regret GB ended giving themselves up on this subject before Fox endless retardation. Ok casual and kids win again. Sales are sales, they can not make the audiences who are buying this game to suffer what It should be the really stressful experience of facing human-like beings that should size your entire screen when head on, I mean, you should raise your vision with the mouse in order to see Its head when in front of you.
And on the storyline subject you mention..., seriously, how much would have cost GB to say that this was just his non-canonical game based on Cameron's movie?, there would be simply no excuse to criticize them for things that go against common sense, like for example, HH survival, and everything would be ok.
ok, carry on.
