Title: Steam sale $3.75 today
Post by: JayHy17 on Jun 16, 2015, 07:11:27 AM
Just letting you guys know the PC version of ACM is on sale for dirt cheap. I actually finally acquired a nice pc and i must say, ACM with a solid rig is the best possible way to play the game. I have it for 360, but the pc version (especially DLC) really looks quite nice! Im playing bug hunt and stasis interupted and having a blast. Its nice to actually shoot xenos with decent graphics. my steam name is Jayhy17 so hit me up if you wanna play!

Still not worth it. The game is only worth it if you got it for free.

I got it during the sale... I didn't like it (I didn't get any DLC). I've put 10 hours on Steam now, got through the main story on Hardened.

Wasn't worth my money, time, and hard drive space.

They had the game at Five Below for $1.99 on the PS3. I just laugh when I saw that.

Only worth it if you plan to get bug hunt... And can manage the game and DLC for say, $10 max...

Only worth it if they pay you to play it.

7.50 for the game + all dlc. So tempting.

Does online still have players? Is it even worth playing online?

My opinion, bughunt on the map "tribute." Only reason to play the campaign is to find the legendary weapons to expand your arsenal for use in bug hunt. But if you decide to achievement/trophy hunt, which is pretty low hanging fruit, you can get most of them solo. A couple will require a second person at least, but they can be unlocked easily in 1vs1 multiplayer in a private match.

Lol. Thanks! I was wondering when someone would point out that cheat code!

I'm not sure about pc population. I played on Xbox, which was dead before I even got to it...

Indeed. As long as you can get a few buddies to play Bughunt with it's generally fun. MP wasn't the trainwreck that SP was.

Probably because MP was made by a different development studio  ::)

I got the Aliens pack for $8 during the sale so I got ACM, AVP2010, and all their DLC.  Now to get a Steam matching or custom build a PC that can actually run these games.   :laugh:

But I don't have a job at the moment, so... :'(

Is this game even worth $3.75?
Title: Re: Steam sale $3.75 today
Post by: windebieste on Aug 12, 2015, 09:50:25 AM
Yes.  It's worth about $3.75.  It should have been released at that price. 

What's more important, though, is how you value your time.  Standing in the shower all day with a rubber hose up yer butt might be a better use of your time. 

It's not the monetary value that's the problem with the purchase, it's how much time you lose playing the game itself in the futile hope that it can't be all that bad.

Keep that rubber hose handy.  Using it for a DIY enema is one thing but after playing 'A:CM' you might want to keep it handy for some self flagellation.  It's a better use of your time at the very least.

I think the game is pretty entertaining. It's worth it for the comedy value and Z-grade dialog that is packed within its story mode. I laughed my arse off while playing this game. I rank this up there with Hot Shots, The Naked Gun and Airplane as one of the greatest comedies.

I'd rather play Alien: Isolation, by the sounds of it. Paid $50 for it and the DLC and not a shred of buyer's remorse.

only bought it for the off chance of there being an SDK at some point so i could make a better game; had the CE for ps3 and for the most part enjoyed it

You're on an AvP forum because I'm assuming you're genuinely a fan. If so, it's definitely worth it. I must warn you though; it is a bad game. And not in the sense of how casual gamers criticized AvP2010. They messed up continuations, sources and creature designs. It's really saddening how much damage this game has done to the franchise that gearbox should get sue- oh wait, nevermind...

But seriously,  this game hurt Sega's integrity to the point where there was quite a bit of tension for Alien Isolation.

Get it, but I advise you to eleminate all possible expectations you might have for it.

Gonna bump this old necro thread because Steam is having another sale and all of the Aliens/AvP titles are on mad sale again.

I broke down and got AvP 2010 pc with dlc for about $8 after checking the steam charts to see if there were at least some people still playing the mp. I remember when we thought that game was bad... until Colonial Marines came out, lol. It's a f**king masterpiece by comparison.

Also finally got all of Isolation's DLC, which I've been long overdue in getting. You can get all of it for like $12 and I'm super excited to scare the poop out of myself again.

Oh and if you want to punch yourself in the nuts/vag then stick a hot poker up your ass, it will be more fun than playing Colonial Marines, but that insult to humanity is also on sale for $5 more than it's worth. :D If it wasn't obvious, I strongly advise against that last one. I wouldn't let Pitchford pick the sticky change out of my car cupholders for a McDonald's coffee.
