Aliens: Colonial Marines arrives next month.

Wait, I paid 5 bucks months ago at GameStop as a so called pre-order. Was it for this or for the game that was gonna come out when Prometheus was gonna come out, I can't remember.

I would like to own this game.

That looks like it'll be pretty good. The co-op mode looks great.

There are plenty of videos of game play, but I cant find the one I originally saw a few months back. Some of the game play gets intense with what seemed to be endless Xenomorphs pouring out the walls, plus a massive one that's bigger than the queen. I think I'll end up getting it.

I'll probably get this at some point. Now I'm thinking I might wait for it to be out for a little while first to get some solid reviews on it for the co-op.

Wow.. I'm glad I held off on pre-ordering this game. It has received some of the worst reviews ever. I even saw on twitter where people will fall through the map in the campaign. Horribly made game.

I watched the difference between the demo and the final release and that explains it. The demo's graphics where way better. Its pretty sad. I was looking forward to this. Its unlike Gearbox to release garbage.... another flop for Sega.

Just look

Whether there is a whole lot of truth in whats said in that article is question but it looks like Gearbox outsourced the majority of the game while they focused on their own title. Sad if you ask me, especially considering how long ago A:CM was announced to how long the turn-a-round on BL2 was. I wouldn't be surprised if Sega takes legal action against Gearbox if this all turns out to be true (I had no interest in this game but I thought you'd all find the above article interesting as you all seem to have been interested in the game).

I wouldn't be surprised if Sega still sues Gearbox for this. This game is a huge flop.

That is a huge difference from the Demo to the final product. I remember seeing that demo and that was what looked amazing to me.. the light effects and overall graphics made it feel like you were in a new Aliens movie.. but compared to the final gameplay footage. Wow. Such a let down.

Awwww man ... 

Gearbox is trying to fix this game at least. Maybe I'll pick it up at some point after they get it all fixed up. Maybe a year from now.

lol. Even if they were able to fix it and make it a good game, the damage is done. It seems to me that Sega pulled what Lucasarts did to Obsidian on KOTOR II. Another game that could have been good, but the Publisher was rushing the developer causing them to take shortcuts.
