They are just counting their money and smoking cigars.

 You can't expect much from EGM and Game Informer these days since 90% of their magazines is ads.

Half to get a game where the alien's acid actually does more than mildly dampen my hair.

Can we all agree that this has to be the Most Disappointing Thing of 2013?

I second that!

Interesting...

At a point the game was going to be written by a couple of guys from Battlestar Gallactica... right? What happened to that?

Probably the same stuff. It wasn't a terribly well-written show, in my opinion and the writing team admitted they just pulled things out of thin air, with no long-term plan.

He's been ranting over Twitter about this game. He's legitimately pissed off at how bad it turned out.

Interesting. Figured he'd be either one extreme or the other. Only has himself to blame for how much he was hyped up for it. He should look back at his video where he was interviewing the developers. Came across a bit too cheerlead-y.

Nay, almost 'Pitchford-esque'.

Can I just quickly suck up to ikarop and thank him for providing us with something to whinge about for ages on this game. His dedication to providing news about A:CM in the face of a lot of negativity (guilty, your honour) has been exemplary.

Same! Ikarop's been singularly awesome.

I hope this isn't the last nail in the coffin of the Aliens franchise.

It won't be. We've still got Creative Assembly's title coming up.

Somehow, not a single detail has managed to leak about it. We don't even know what type of game it would be.

Wow, you can even melee kill them? That's just... sad.

Spoiler

You even beat a really huge one to death with a powerloader, at one point.

I mean, come on!

If you are a real fan, you should be happy that you got a game.

Be happy that you got a game based on a movie from the 80s... Correct me if I'm wrong, but that doesn't happen to often.

Be happy you got an Aliens only, not predator game.

Be happy you shoot Hick's Shotgun, Hudson's Pulse Rifle, and Vasquez's Pistol.

Be happy you can choose what finishing move you preform as a Xeno!

If you won't even play it, then don't call yourself a real fan.

I'd rather this story be canon than Prometheus. Not dissing the film, it was amazing, but I prefer it not to be canon.

Stop bitching and be grateful with what you have,

Assuming this isn't sarcasm, by that logic, you think we should all have been thankful for how 'Requiem' turned out, too?

Considering you wouldn't be "a true fan" if you criticised it and all.

"Peer to Dead Space 2". I dont think they would be using those words if they didnt want it to be a survival horror game...

but Creative Assembly is mostly known for strategy games so... no idea how this will turn out.

I wish we could get a survival horror, Aliens game similar to Amnesia: The Dark Descent.
