Aliens: Colonial Marines

[Ermm]

Aliens is s shit franchise made by weird sexual festished deviants.

Facehugger's front always looked to me as vagina. For a time now, I think whoever wrote Alien, had a relationship problem, and in reality that movie is a message about women.

 

[Zewp]

The entire Aliens movie was actually based on rape. Being forcefully impregnated, penises bursting from chests, aliens with penis-shaped heads, etc.

 

[Ermm]

Yeah, but since the vagina looking monster does the forceful impregnation, I've always thought that the writer who wrote it had a really nasty experience with women.

Aliens is s shit franchise made by weird sexual festished deviants. Predators would be good if it weren't for the incredibly stupid design of the predator species. Aside from the obvious, did they really need dreadlocks?

They should just show a single movie with Aliens and Predators and those prometheus disc jockey aliens where near the end 1000 death stars jump out of hyperspace and destroy EVERYTHING to the tune of the imperial march.

You ever talk shit about Alien and Aliens and I'll cut you up.

WTF is that shit? What are we looking at? Why is it in a screen within a screen?

I've been meaning to ask you this for a long time, Andy - are you functionally retarded?

 

[Zewp]

I think he really is. I wonder if it's tax deductable if we donate money for his treatment?

Potato edition, eh? Desperately trying to fix the game, eh?

Um, nope?

 

[Darth Roxor]

Ok then day 1 purchase

 

[racofer]

I'm fucking amazed how dumb people are. There are those .ini tweak guides popping out everywhere, and suddenly people say the game is fixed.

Hey, if that works for Bethesda, why not for Gearbox?

 

[Unkillable Cat]

It gets worse.

Also, I found Hick's shotgun, which has the words "No Fate" painted onto the barrel

 

[evdk]

You can also find Gorman's pistol and Hudson's pulserifle from what I've seen.

 

[Andyman Messiah]

What a waste of great potential 1 day dlc/preorder items.

 

[Unkillable Cat]

Also Frost's flamethrower and Vasquez's pistol. From what I can tell, they also have special stats, like Hudson's pulse rifle has a 90 ammo clip and fires a 3-round burst.

Well of course it is. Go into Google Images, input 'giger' and hit the Enter key.

The degree to which we feared ACM was, in hindsight, crazy. Potential release dates for NS2 were discussed with reference to ACM's potential release date. Around the lunch table, we pondered the pasting reviewers would give us if they were simultaneously reviewing a AAA mega-budget aliens vs marines title.

At shows like GamesCom, PAX-East, and E3 I walked around the ACM super-booths in awe. I spoke to ACM PR reps and they had no idea what NS was. I watched the demos (especially the E3 one) and thought... 'How can we possibly stand up to these guy on the aliens v marine stage?' I walked around the Power Loader in multiple countries and shook my head at the poor luck of having to face this Sega/Gearbox monster in our launch window.

Now, I'm filled with sadness. Sadness at being an Aliens fan and not being able to experience LV-426 like I had imagined I would. Sadness that we spent so much time being afraid of a game that we have beaten on Metacritic by 38 points. Sadness that the launch trailer for ACM probably cost more than 30% of the entire development budget of NS2.

With that marketing machine, with that moneypot, with that kind of development time, with that kind of bullet-proof intellectual property, ACM should have been an absolute hit.

No, UWE won't be milking the poor reception of ACM. To do so would make us wankers, it would be dishonorable. Remember when Warfighter exploded? Activision ran a targeted ad campaign hitting every single Warfighter keyword with CODBLOPSII pre-rolls and banners. I'm sure it got them sales. But it also said much about the kind of company they are.

There is a very subtle aliens reference in the Gorgeous Trailer, but it was scripted in long, long ago. Well before we even realized ACM was landing at the same time as the update. Now, I just hope the press won't can us for 'trying to milk failure.'

EDIT: Corrected Meta-critic differential to 38 from miscalculated 30.

Those things must give awesome blowjobs and rimjobs
