    Thought the animation was a bit shit at times, felt very robotic.

    Really sad, no idea what the heck happened over at Gearbox. Perhaps they'd be better off avoiding alien-related IPs for a while, if it weren't for Borderlands' success they'd be in serious trouble.

    Exactly as expected: horrible dialog + story + AI + every marine cliche in the book. Sad.

    just played a little, it's a game, not the best ever released but it's enjoyable enough to keep playing. the sound design is pretty slick, the weapon sounds are glorious and worth a purchase alone

    visually i have seen worse but this is definitely not a game that looks good compared to more up-to-date vidya.

    i'll keep playing it because it's another outing into the alien universe, but if that wasn't there i doubt i'd even give it a second glance. i guess that was a discussion had often internally..

    hopefully we'll get a post-mortem, i seriously doubt it, but it would be a fascinating read (i know it's tough working with outside publishers and movie franchises, i can't imagine that made the process easier)

    The reason the sounds are good is because gearbox got the original samples from the movie..

    Well clearly they're more invested in their in house projects rather than what they're contractually obligated to work on (which I can totally understand, even if it's not classy). Seems that the majority of the game was outsourced, with Gearbox primarily focusing on the MP.

    that's a really tough call to make. if money is an issue i would wait until a sale. it's not really worth the 50 euros, even for a fan.
