"Patch by patch this game becomes a more complete product"
if you take a good honest look at what`s been patched so far, the actual patches are a joke. We asked for a high rez texture pack. And animation/pathfinding tweaks for ALL A.I., not just Aliens. And what did we get in the 1st supposed big update?
1: Alien A.I. slightly tweaked, and made out of balance with our Marine A.I. Squadies. Aliens got tougher, making our Marine Squadies even more useless. Makes for REALLY unbalanced End Boss level completion.
2: a Film Grain eye condom with no user toggle.
Next update, coming a bit more than 3 weeks later
1: finally a toggle for the Film Grain. Something a Modder had fixed a day or so after the 4 gig update patch
2: an ini tweak to thwart cheaters Now, to REALLY thwart cheaters, you need a system, not an ini tweak. But whatever.
So really tbh, with every patch so farseemingly bringing us ahead, we are really stepping 4 feet back.
What we really need is what we asked for. We need an update that is gonna make everyone sit up and take notice.
