TemplarGFX 6.2 man It changes the game completely. Definitely get TemplarGFX 6.2 and the Aliens Enhanced Reshade on nexus. The game is an absolutely brilliant sequal to Aliens 1986. In fact get the acmv140+6tr.exe trainer and enable unlimited health, ammo and no reload and enjoy the design and environments and blast away everything.

11:46 he should have figured out what side he was on and hovered till the dude was shot.

My game doesn’t load up it closes as soon as I try to launch can someone please help I’ve tried verifying the game files didn’t work I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but no dice Someone pleeease help me

how do you get a helicopter in the first place

I too was very excited to recieve this game on release. Sadly I didn't buy it after seeing how terribly made it was. Even worse still I didn't buy the next installment which actually not only formed out to be good but , attained legendary status. Alien isolation. I waited to buy isolation but once I heard it was good I bought it and was SO PLEASANTLY SURPRISED. Alien isolation IMHO was a9.75 out of 10 and have beaten this 40+ times. Still wanna play it more. But now after having this recommended in going to give colonial marines a shot with the Templar gfx mod. TBH on just excited to play isolation 2.

I really like The M1 Garand as Sniper Rifle to use. If you have to go infantry man with it? It's useful, unless you are really good at firing from the hip or whatnot. But? That's still a fifty-fifty.

Great build with so many cool techniques! I was lucky to see it in real life in the Faraos store. Looking forward to see more.

I picked this up off steam for like 8 usd or something a couple months ago to play on my rog ally, and i'm having more fun now than I did when it came out for sure

49:00 the ammo thing is stupid. Ruins the fun out of using the MK1 pulse rifle. I hate it when modders change a core mechanic instead of just sticking to fixing the game and improving the visuals...

So, I have the most random side story to your very entertaining video...seriously was my recollection of the entire debacle. I was working in the game industry and made friends with someone at sega (we worked within 5 blocks I think). So, before I think an office move or something, I was invited to come grab some promo swag from the "closet". She knew I love aliens, so there was just a..very very cool large box of "alien stuff I found"... concept art, a zip up hoody, a few collector statues..and what I considered the biggest jaw drop..was 4 huge HUGE vinyl back drops, I assume for trade shows..it was honestly the oddest alien come up, alot more I don't recall off the head (was about 10 years ago I think...) but I'd meet someone who shares the xenomorph obsession I do, I'd unload some of this box of swag I hung on to. Anyhow..Great video and thought I'd share.

Shame on me I bought this fucking crap at the time, total play time 20 minutes ?

The only good thing about this game was the resin figure that came with the collector ed.

Just bought and installed the Collection edition for £5.19 before watching all of your video when you gave it a 4/10. 6/10 with mod is worth the price for me and in the mood try out an Aliens shooter tied to the 2nd film.

Polishing a turd.

Blame the need to accommodate the sh**ty consoles. Their goal was to make the game for PC and console platform and consoles have always been inferior in graphics. Look at Cyberpunk as an example.

The double barrel is a reference to the Allen Dean Foster Novelization of Aliens. In the book that's what Hicks' shotgun originally is. He pulls it out of his combat leg armor. I believe the book has Hicks reference it as a "Heirloom"

theres a fix for this overhaul mod also on mod db that fixes the ai even further, adds more graphic fidelity, and fixes the crashes on status interrupted its called: TemplarGFX's ACM Overhaul Mod Crash Fix and Patrxgt Ultra Config. it came out this year in 2024.

It's funny how you can now see the lies in Randy Pitchfork's face during the interviews. His eyes dart unfocused from the interviewer lol.

I don't know how Pitchford is even still allowed to be in a game company after this. There are a lot of cases of unknown companies scamming people and doing nothing to make it right. That's bad enough as it is, but this was the president of a AAA developer who lied to millions of people and did nothing to make it right. They cared so little about the game and the people who bought it that the Alien AI remained broken for years after release, only to be fixed by a modder who realized what the devs didn't care enough to - that there was a one letter typo in the code. One letter, and the devs couldn't be bothered. Bad writing, bad plot, plot holes, fighting humans more than aliens in an alien game.. the bait and switch of the graphics, UI and so many other things.. Battlefield 3 came out a year and a half earlier, was also released on consoles, and had to be made to run well with way more going on, much more in sight being rendered, many more effects going off at any moment, while in a jet flying super fast across the map and rendering even more at once, with 24-64 players on multiplayer servers. Despite all of these things that make BF3's visual clarity more difficult to achieve with good performance, they did it, and the game still looks good to this day. Not only did Gearbox completely fail to deliver on their promises, behind the scenes they outsourced development, showing even more how little they cared. There is no excuse for what Gearbox did, especially after showing and promising something completely different; something completely better.

I liked this game when it came out. I still like this game. I don't care what anyone says.

this game isnt as bad as people say . once you patch it and remove the path bug for the xenos its freaking fun

Somebody make a VR mod so its worth playing again

Never bought another Gearbox game after ACM. It’s been more than 10 years, best decision ever.

29:44 😅😂

Fuck randy, i may actually try this game now

The review embargo told me it was going to be bad. Held off and glad I did!

You sound like sirspooks

Were you playing today rs2v?

I was so excited for this game as I was/am a huge alien fan as well as a huge fan of that Avp game from 2010. I had it fully paid for with the pre order. They day of I couldn’t help but watch some gameplay and a brief review during study hall…. That was all I needed. I went to GameStop after school and switched my pre order to bioshock infinite, the guy was like “good call”. It’s okay though because we got alien isolation which was everything we have always wanted!

The franchise is dead...

TemplarGFX was my house mate years ago, he is a legend

Me lo ricordo sì.. io ne parlavo con i miei genitori che doveva uscire un gioco sugli xenomorfi e i marines più bello della storia, mi ricord oche le testate giornalistiche di giochi erano in hype per il gioco coop horror mai fatto nella storia con tutti gli elementi di Aliens e i marines, quando è uscito è stato il più grande scandalo mai visto nella storia dei giochi.

Your voice soothes me

Some guy/modder fixed it as the dev team messed up the Alien AI and it was just one wrong letter in the coding.

Question? How do you weld a door open. You weld it shut and cut it open. Dah.

Also Templare is awesome I just wanna know how to get mod and if someone’s down to try everything with me :3

Whyyyyyy didn’t they do like the videos it would have been awesome ;w;

I loved this game

They need to remake it and do it right

Hey man, do you know why in templar mod i cannot pick up ammo of the guns, sometimes it says full, or a symbol of prohibited

Now fireteam elite (pretty crap name to be honest) is a pretty good game but i think itd be nice if they added a first person mode to it similar to how world war Z did as an option, it wouldnt be perfect but it would be an intwresting perspecrive to play the game from. Also i bought colonial marines day one and hinestly didnt regret it sure it was a tad on the bugy side here and there but it was still pretty good fun, that and blockbusters sold it for £35 so wasnt that bad as it was cheap i assumed it was a budget shooter.

Gearbox were sons of bitches for sub contracting Colonial Marines out and keeping some of the budget to work on Borderlands, they should of taken this game SERIOUSLY and made the best game they could instead of what we got. The only decent thing about the game is the horde style mode playing as the 1986 characters.

I remember picking up alien colonial marines on Walmart and they ask my age to play the game but they said nah just give the money n you go home play game 😊

Honestly best part of this game was the Left for Dead style game mode where Marines went from safe room to safe room, while Aliens tried to stop them. It was by far the most intense the game got. With humans taking control of the Aliens they could actually be a threat and the one life the Marines had made both sides actually think and the motion tracker was so useful. I remember playing with friends with someone always being our "motion tracker bitch" and the the thrill it was calling out where they were coming from or being told where to look, just in the nick of time. Then when we were Aliens it was so fun having one or two people play the distraction, screwing around with them on the motion tracker. So the others could ambush. Then seeing the Marine players adapt to us. Making us mix things up. No other game has really replicated that feeling in my friend group. Which is something I will always praise the game for. Just wish the game was better overall. Also I don't think it was just because the game had to come out on consoles the graphics had such a downgrade. I know games have to be toned down for the consoles but just compare this game on 360 to say Halo 4 that came out a year prior. Or heck even Halo 3 that came out 5 years before Colonial Marines. It looks worse in almost every way. The game being on console wasn't the reason it looks bad, it was just a rushed job with not enough time, people and money behind it.

I never will forgive Gearbox and Randy lies.

I'm just glad Aliens: Fireteam Elite exists now, between that and Alien Isolation we still have decent modern... ish, Games to play. Only just started playing Alien Isolation again to continue from getting the trauma kit after chickening out a couple years ago, love the game but man that Xenomorph AI is terrifying

I honestly think another company should have a go at redoin the game with a better storyline
