Aliens Colonial Marines: Retrospective

[@wasabimanz]

Thanks for the great review, I bought the collectors edition of the game on release, it came with a cool little power loader statue and I was so initially disappointed by the reviews and bugs and graphics (I played it on Xbox 360) that I just shelved it and never played more than the first 1hr. But I think you have inspired me to give it a go 😄👍 Keep up the good work , 👍 🇦🇺

Thank you! If you go into it expecting a "theme park ride" experience and not a canonical continuation of Aliens with revolutionary gameplay, it's not too bad, especially if you're a fan of Aliens. And if you have a PC, the game plays and looks a tad better there, too.

Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm currently working on the Alien: Isolation retrospective, and it should be out next week.

This was the last game I ever pre-ordered. Lesson learned. I had read it was Left 4 Dead but with aliens. 4 Players, Left 4 Dead gameplay and Aliens? How can you screw that up? Then I saw the "actual gameplay" and was amazed at how well it matched the movie. Pre-ordered! But on launch, it was a buggy mess. Dumb story. Haven't pre-ordered since. This game should have been so much better. Randy was only aiming for a 7 game. What kills me, is nobody is going to try it again. They fucked it up so badly, nobody wants to touch it. It definitely hurt the sales of Alien Isolation. Stealing from this game to fund another game? True or not, Randy Pitchford still fucked us.

I'm cautiously optimistic for Alien: Rouge Incursion, and I was happy to hear that Isolation is finally getting a sequel. I think the performance of this game, and Ryan McCaffrey's horrid review for that one really tanked Isolation's initial sales; he was clearly the wrong person for that review.
