Thread: Article: Aliens: Colonial Marines Revisited

$15 no more, this game is still held back by a number of things. The story still falls apart, AI is better but not the best. I still run into alien leaping at me, dieing, and then appearing to walk away from where they leap from but be dead. You can still run past auto gun position and they want have even spawned in. The grain effect needs a switch, I've dropped the brightness, it still kills the graphics. I ran through the first mission a number of times and always the lerker spawns out of view for the event for cutting down keys. Multiplayer is still dead, though a few effects appear to be smoothed over.

If they continue to patch the game, well okay, it can become a good game. However, it is not worth its current price. And after the complete bull shit they rolled out, they desirve to make as little money as possible on this title. Kinda why after the first week, sales dropped 80% and then they dropped 80% from those levels the next week.

I feel the need to voice, as you stated, if you buy the game, buy it on sale. $15. The real truth is you will be able to buy this game in a year for around 12 to 10 dollars. You won't find anyone for multiplayer then, but you not missing out, few people play it a month after it's release.

I'm having a blast playing it. It's well worth the $5.99 I paid. That price also included the Limited Edition DLC. As I've said on the forums, though...I'd be pissed too if I bought it at launch or pre-patch. If you get it cheap, it's a decent to good game.
