I would describe the game I saw as a soulless licensed cash grab just like most of the other Alien games. I hope I'm wrong and you're right.
I would describe convincing yourself to dislike a game you know absolutely nothing about as joyless yes. -

Registered 12 years agoIt's born from a film series that has probably had more shit entries than good ones at this point. The bar is hardly sky high to live up to. If it just turns out to be a 7/10 popcorn action game I'd say it probably done it's job fairly well. -

Registered 10 years agoI have to say, on a personal note I’ve been shielding for almost a year now and the hobby I’ve followed since the early eighties with a passion is generally “soulless” these days, when I’ve more time then ever for it, I’m playing less than ever in my life and that’s a shame.
I’m as tired as the games are these days and yes I’m feeling pretty “soullless” about it all, sell now/finish later mentality, the same things we’ve seen a million times over, micro transactions. All of its a disease in this hobby and for me I’ve no time for halfarsed shit.
So yeah that cynicism is hard to hold back anymore -

Registered 5 years agoI know Colonial Marines was pap, but personally I'm still excited by the thought of a co-op Aliens game, and I don't even like multiplayer. Outside of the films they've done some really great stuff with the license recently (some of the recent books have been pretty good, and the recent board games and RPG are excellent), so it's not like the IP is a wholesale write-off. -

Registered 19 years agoI find the MP aspect a huge turn off, single player games don't depend on waiting in a matchmaking lobby in 2 years when everyone else forgotten has about it. -

Registered 10 years ago@Rum_Monkey its undoubtedly not helping but are they honestly “better than ever” there’s next to zero originality out there. Just feels like I’ve played better versions of most recent stuff I see/turn on.
Anyway this isn’t a thread about me, I’ll get back in my box.

The trilogy from a few years ago was pretty good (Out of the Shadows, River of Pain, Sea of Sorrows), and they've made them into pretty decent audio dramas on Audible too. Slightly more recently, Cold Forge was good, Prototype was definitely interesting (if a little weird), and the Bug Hunt short story compilation was fun.

Don't think you need any real prior knowledge on any of them, they're all pretty standalone.

Registered 6 years agoMultiplayer eurgh.
I'd love a new singleplayer Aliens shooter of some kind. I know that would be hard to pull off with singleplayer, that's why Isolation works so well. But still. I wanna shoot those fuckers without needing to make friends IRL -

They still need to re-release AVP2 on digital stores though. -
