James Cameron’s ALIENS, starring Sigourney Weaver, Michael Biehn, Lance Henricksen, Bill Paxton & more was released OTD 40 years ago.

unlabelledView post →Honestly, this game is pretty mid, but I can't even hate it. 😂 The gameplay is nothing revolutionary, the AI sometimes looks like it needs a GPS to find the player, and the whole thing feels like it had way more potential than what we actually got. The story, however, genuinely had potential and kept me interested enough to finish it. I'm just sad they don't really make games like this anymore. Give me a slightly janky Alien game with questionable decisions over another generic…

unlabelledView post →As you can probably see, I have played this game quite a bit and believe myself to be familiar enough with the base game, DLC, mods, and community to really give a review for those of you who may be considering this game in 2025 or later. First and foremost, the base game is pretty...bad. The guns are inaccurate, as in when you aim down the sites, you can literally see the bullets hitting AROUND your site, not on it. The AI is bad, the voice acting is bad, the dialogue is bad, the story is…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After playing and finishing Alien Isolation first, This was hard to enjoy in comparison. It's a shame really, underneath this mess of a game there is a good game waiting to be played. But there are too many issues with this to make this even a decent game. Honestly I love the idea of playing as a marine and gunning down every xenomorph that comes your way but the biggest issue with this game is the AI! I played the campaign on easy mode and holy sh!t some of the bugs I came across were…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Aliens: Colonial Marines is a first person shooter that supports 4 player coop gameplay. This game world is larger than the earlier AVP. Colonial Marines is more oriented towards eliminating aliens which are abundant. Weapons are a basic assault gun and pistol. The gameplay and artwork are based on the Aliens film. The game was developed with the Unreal 3 engine. The game assets have been criticized for low resolution textures and weak lighting. The PC version is considered to be more…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Understand the frustration of players who love this universe, but it’s a mistake to write this game off. It has mechanics I find fun levels, skill points, and the ability to switch weapons, where I have them all at my fingertips but can choose freely when and which one I want. Okay, the story… I sometimes missed a few things myself and didn’t really get it… the why and how. That aside, though, when I consider the added flavor specifically the co-op mode, it’s great fun where I can shoot with…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't understand the hate for this game. It feels like an arcade style alien game rather than a horror game, which is awesome for those of us who don't want a isolation style game.

unlabelledView post →This is a game I've heard nothing but bad things about ever since it released over a decade ago. No doubt you've heard about such things as well. That signature Gearbox carelessness is how you'd end up with a single typo in a config file screwing up the enemy AI across an entire triple-A (by early 2010s standards) funded and produced video game. Just one of those supposedly bad games you'd hear about, come to the conclusion that you'd rather not be bothered with it, and move on with your life.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've bought the game on 90% discount. Really wanted the reviews are wrong and the game is not so bad. Unfortunately, it is... There is so many things wrong with it, it's not worth wasting time enumerating them. The saddest thing is that so much was invested in the game, while it's never been thoroughly tested, which result in broken gameplay and mechanics (which create frustration), bad lighting and dull texturing. (visibility issues and below average level design impression). Pity, since…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is just a bad game. The only way to make it enjoyable is to download the mod that cranks up the intelligence of the Aliens.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I actually love this game. Loved the movies and this is a very nice addition. I always come back to this game. It was so despised but lot of the negative noise was just tiresome spin. Its just like hearing MassEffect (Which is of course great) getting no flak for all the cut scenes and then hear the whining on Starfield that its nearly unplayable because of cut scenes according to whiners. Is this game cheesy at times? Well yes. It supposed to be. Look at the movies. “Game over man”. Iconic!…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was excited to dive back into Aliens: Colonial Marines because I love the franchise — but even all these years later, the cracks show fast. Within the first hour, one of the very first xenomorphs I encountered just stood there doing nothing, and the AI continues to feel clumsy and unthreatening. The gunplay is serviceable, but reloads feel painfully slow and often break the pacing during fights. The story itself isn’t bad and has the right pieces — familiar faces, cool references — but…

unlabelledView post →The players who are complaining about the AI being problematic are correct. Having played it myself I can see where they are coming from. That being said, take the rest of the negative reviews with a grain of salt. This game is a love letter to the fans of the Alien franchise and I loved how they took us right back to Hadley's Hope, and the few nods and refferences to the other movies was fun to experience. I just had to rewatch that movie after playing this game. The gunplay is fun, they have…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is fun especially in Co-Op. But the problem is this game is so unbelievably buggy that it's really not playable. Even with the overhaul mod that's supposed to fix things almost every level had some sort of game breaking bug that caused us to have to restart the checkpoint or even the entire game. We were on level 9 and beat the entire mission and while watching the cutscene it just randomly cut off and sent us back to the previous check point. Well we got the achievement for beating…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Once you get the improved AI, the game is playable. Not the greatest story and not as fun as AVP 2010, but worth it for ALIENS fans! 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Do you like to play bad games as a guilty pleasure? Go for it. Is the game dirt cheap? Sure. Do you like Alien? Well, at this point you might as well play it. But seriously, only play this if you answer yes to these questions. Otherwise, there are way better games out there. I just happen to play bad games as a guilty pleasure. Please take this into account, as this is a very conditioned recommended review. Ok, if you want a really really good Alien game, go play Isolation, plain and simple.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Honestly underrated game only had a few issues during gameplay and a great time on the hardest difficulty had challange but not impossable have not tried to co-op but worth while for the price
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Quite a decent shooter dispite some minor flaws in AI teammates. Played on 4k and fps capped to 60. Main story was ok, but dlc missions was more fun. Didn't play Coop so I missed out on that one.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't get me wrong, it's not the best game, and it takes itself far too seriously sometimes, but if you want to just sit back and shoot some xenos, this is the game to do it in. Janky as all hell, with the dumbest Alien AI by far, but really funny physics at times, and a decent amount of collectibles. Also, possibly still a functioning multiplayer mode. But, for fans of the action in "Aliens", Fireteams Elite is the better Alien FPS, and Dark Descent is a better Alien game, though it is an…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No, not even if you're an alien fan starving for more alien gaming. This game is very janky and buggy in myriad strange ways and downright unfinished. Story beats are outright missing and inexplicable events ocur towards the end of the game. Gunplay is abhorrent with misaligned iron sights that will have you wondering where your gun is firing as you move and shoot at the same time. It's like you're shooting blanks and weapon feedback is generally terrible. That aside, the music, voice acting…
