Games I F*cking Hate - Aliens: Colonial Marines (The Worst FPS Ever)

[@balintbotondvarga142]

Someone else might have already mentioned it, but the xeno's ai is actually broken, thanks to a typo in the code. After fixing it, the ai will actually try to think, and flank you if it can. It won't however make the overall game much better, and it just shows how much they cared about the project.

[@rainingtacos7529]

Not just that they created a lazy reason for weapon swaying so heavily. The developers called it Weapon Wandering which is active all the time but it is terrible compared to even compared to call of duty. There are pc mods for colonial marines that remedies this...but for Xbox 360 and PS3 the game stays like shit because support is long dead.

[@templargfx]

I know Im late to the game on your video but I'd thought id share some insight into a few things The aiming in this game was just broken. There is a system called 'fractal wandering' this moves the barrel of your gun around the screen, like weapon sway mechanics in lots of games. However the weapon you are holding on screen is drawn in 'local space' rather than 'world space' and this means that the bullets dont come from the weapon. The fractal wandering is applied ONLY to your on screen gun, not the actual invisible actor that represents you the player in the game world. The weapon literrally moves away from where its actually pointing in the game. Its obvious from looking a the game files that the rumors are true, Gearbox passed this game on to timegate studios who developed most of it with Gearbox mashing a game together for release, then Gearbox tried to hastily fix the mess with the huge patch they did. Because Gearbox didnt actually make the game, they were not intimately familiar with its code. they stripped and simplified alot of things rather than fixing them

[@DXFromYT]

Thanks for the insight! You commented on this video a few years ago and explained some other stuff as well that made a lot of sense.

[@pacman5698]

Peter Jackson's King Kong the Official Game of the movie did almost EVERYTHING this game was aiming for a million times better. Movie based game that respected its source material, made you feel vulnerable and helpless in an alien environment with tons of enemies, but still gave you decent control to convince your player that they could survive, enemies that could tear you to shreds easily if you weren't smart or on your feet, compelling difficulty, amazing gunplay, and atmosphere that sucked you into its own world...and THAT was made in 2005!

The game is pretty bad, but the vast majority of his complaints just come from being a bad player. It looks like he's playing with a damn controller! The hit-reg is fine if you're not expecting an SMG to be accurate at long range. The gunplay is okay. It's the movement and AI that ruin it. And the annoying unskippable cutscenes. And the useless characters that follow you around and just get in the way. Anyone whose complaint is "I can't hit things, so the game is too hard" is a bot. Their I is worse than the the game's AI. They need to open their own directory and check for typos in their brain code. I've never heard "I can't hit anything" as a complaint of this game before. I've heard "It's too easy" a lot.

[@DARTHBLUNT713]

I played the game and I loved it especially playing online players Vs players

[@ginsu3396]

GearBox outsourced this game and didn't give a shit about it, that's why it failed. The original design was about a tactical shooter where you lead a Marine Fire-Team and try to survive against hordes of aliens, including ones that would try to outflank you or find a way through your defences. Imagine something like Space-Hulk, you're trying to decide what doors to seal shut, where to place the sentry guns, where you will bottle neck them etc, and then you try to hold out while all hell breaks lose. Now GearBox scrapped that idea way early on, no intention to make anything worth while and outsourced random pieces of shit to another company with no clear direction of what they were doing, only to take it back off them years later and try slap together something playable. TLDR: GBX didn't give a shit about the license, it was a cash grab that failed.

[@DR3ADER1]

Not even that, either a Gearbox employee or a Timegate employee misspelt a crucial line in the game's code that affected the Alien AI. This one spelling error lobotomised the functions of the Aliens, as they couldn't recognise any counter tactics to use against the player. Though I still think this is just a mistake and people tend to miss a lot of things during QA testing(like all things, QA isn't 100% guaranteed to fix everything, and neither are hotfixes) So in essence, Gearbox didn't scrap the idea, they just messed up. And in programming, a single error can ruin the entire codex. Also, the main guys to throw shit at are actually SEGA, who left the game in Development Hell for many years.

[@cacomeat7385]

If you want an action packed shooter in similar vein try Quake IV. Yes it's older, but not only does it look MILES better despite being made in 2005, it plays very solidly and has a well presented story. A very highly underrated FPS that seems like GB tried to partially copy in this game (along with fear and CoD, all of which they failed miserably at doing.)

[@cacomeat7385]

It's an absolute bitch to get running on 8 and 10 properly. You have to use some weird compatibility patch just to get half the menus to work, and even then you're stuck with lowest gfx settings unless you create a cfg file that forces ultra. It's still fun after you get past the headaches but tends to show its age when it crashes or doesn't allow you to make certain menu selections (that's just a problem I ran into, might just be my shitty scratched up install disc causing the problem)

[@cacomeat7385]

MRT my only guess is that idtech 4 didn't age as well in terms of compatibility as source did. It's all about how an engine/game is programmed, not on pure age.

[@cacomeat7385]

I know this is a late and possible irrelevant reply, but while I do agree with you on the subject of the console advantage (even though the 8th gen pretty much got rid of plug and play), the Xbox 360 version of Quake IV is a mess. It's actually kind of funny. The game is so poorly optimized (probably running graphics that are too demanding for a 360 launch title) that the framerate will drop as low as eleven, and they didn't even bother capping the game at 30 fps; the game will literally go straight down from 60 fps to the teens. It's hilariously bad.

[@cacomeat7385]

MRT Absolutely. My PC is pretty poor (pentium g3220 3.0 ghz dual core and gtx 650 ti 1 gb) but I can definitely understand your problem. One particular game that pisses me off is Team Fortress 2; me and a group of friends still play this game regularly, but my current setup only manages and average of 40 fps on default highest settings. The only way i can get consistent 60 fps is by making the game look like a ps2 game. However, just a couple years ago, I was getting and average of 80 FPS on the absolute highest settings. Why is this, you may ask? Because Valve fucked up the game's optimization during the past 2 years with the updates they've been pushing out. I dunno why it's so bad but I have a friend who has some stupid shitty pc that has a dual core pentium 2.4 ghz from 2010 and a radeon 6800 (probably not the right card at all, but it's some weird ati dedicated card with 512 mb of ram). AND YET ONLY RECENTLY DID THE GAME STOP RUNNING AT 60 FPS FOR HIM. Once my pc had already ceased to run the game well he was still getting decent fps despite his pc being about 1/3 of mine's power. This shows that lazy updates can make a game run like sh!t over time.

The NPC (non playable character) AI is so horrendous that they do a horrible job of fighting off the endless spawns of drone xenomorphs during the scene. You can try to shake them off but it wastes time and they surround you. Eventually, I quit and I never returned to Colonial Marines. Copy and paste the bullshit from COD games. If I'm playing an FPS game I don't want the unnecessary bullshit scenes with stealth, driving, and protecting NPCs from the sky with a view of the map.

The game was in such a development hell, there were lay-offs within the Gearbox staff, they were pulling off resources from the development of this game to work on Borderlands while still receiving paychecks from Sega, the game got heavily outsourced by other studios, it was a total shit-show.

[@templargfx]

Some interesting facts on the issues you brought up : No Bullet Tracers - Technically this is not true, they do actually have tracers, but the shader used to render them is bugged and distorts soo little you can't see them. They were supposed to look like the tracer effect from the Matrix where it distorts the world. I replaced them in my mod with proper white-hot tracers like normal games Terrible Gun aiming - Some smart spark at Gearbox thought it was a good idea to add what they term 'Weapon Wandering' which is the simulation of you not being able to hold the gun still when aiming because of its wieght. But this system ONLY wanders the weapon (hence the name) not your viewpoint. This is why the Red Dot sight is often so far away from where the bullets go. To compound this, bullets do not come out of your gun, they come out of your character at the aim point. These two systems cannot be used together for the reasons on display in ACM. I removed this 'feature' in my mod Hit Detection - There is not actually any problem with the hit detection, it is entirely caused by the above weapon wandering. At long range, even just wandering a few pixels means your aim is off by meters. Only the weapon wanders, not the camera or firing point, so you adjust the camera to bring the sight in line with your target, but all you've done is move the firing point away from the target. You can't see the firing point when aiming. Absolutely terrible Boilers - The are programmed to ignore you if you crouch. stupid

[@DXFromYT]

Wow, thank you for that incredible insight on the issues with this game. I can't fathom how broken this game is. I regret not trying out your mod until now but this game put me off so much that I honestly didn't think most of what was blatantly wrong and broken with the game could be fixed.

That's the next Anime I F*cking Hate. Already seen three episodes.

[@devocrankseven1546]

DXFan619 Great :-) But i feel sry for you because this anime is pure torture.

[@luizfernandodonascimento3413]

15:11 even that boiler wanted out of this game 😂😂😂👽👾

[@popcornceiling3287]

F.E.A.R. 2 was way better than this garbage.

[@scantrucksvtcgaming]

And so what, if u have a thing for the alien franchise u will love this game especially if u grown up with the first movies from 79, 86 & 92. I’ll give it 9/10 and thinks it’s pretty damn awesome 👏

[@Hunter0fp0psicles]

Making a video on gearbox would take like 5 hours ALONE with how scummy they are and Randy Pitchford would take up to 4 of those hours at best. Why do companies even still associate with gearbox at this point is beyond me. With Battleborn being a MASSIVE flop at best at least Karma is is starting to get to them.

[@NebLleb]

This video is the sole reason why I call Colonial Marines "Poor Man's F.E.A.R.". And funny thing is, after making this video, DX would revisit F.E.A.R. 2 and discover that it's nowhere near as bad as Colonial Marines. And for good reason too, at least F.E.A.R. 2 has a soul, genuinely scary moments and a compellingly dark narrative.

[@V_y-r_e]

I have to say DX, I've been a massive fan of your content for a long time, and in my opinion, Games I Fucking Hate is one of the most original series on KZbin. I haven't seen another channel that intentionally does in depth analyses of truely horrible video games, let alone at the quality you do it at. It's not only one of the most original and interesting series on this site, but also one of the funniest. Amazing work on your vids. I'm excited to see more. Sorry it took me this long to have the balls to say this.

[@triple6j]

you like hearing a whiney guy complain about stupid things in games like the fact that ai take cover?

[@V_y-r_e]

More than I like hearing you whine about your flawed reasoning.

[@BROTRRer]

I think the developers of Redfall saw this video and thought: "worst FPS ever, you say? Challenge accepted!"

[@blacksamurai76]

Play some Horizon Zero Dawn; you'll feel better.

[@evanpachucki3662]

The saddest thing is that if if someone announces another alien action game, people are going to freak out about it because of this game.

[@MiClLC]

I like this guy lol. The way he tears this game apart is freaken hilarious!

[@SakuragiSayo]

You must not play many First-Person Shooters. The entire C.O.D. franchise is worse than this game is

[@hankheavy]

One of the best reviews I've ever seen. I played this game for 20 min and it was indeed awful. I couldn't really pinpoint why it was so awful but man, did you nail it

[@qwemlhjsi4386]

LMAO have you heard the news? All of digital homicide's games have been taken down from steam and the developer banned for trying to sue people over giving them bad reviews

[@TheFly212]

Eh, I liked FEAR 2. I mean, FEAR is a masterpiece and still does things that modern AAA fps don't or don't do as well today lol. FEAR is seminal. But I enjoyed 2, not as good as FEAR but it was interesting and had some really cool moments.

[@DXFromYT]

FEAR 2 definitely had its moments. I also really like the story. But the consolized gameplay keeps me from liking, or even enjoying the gameplay at all. One of the biggest sequel blunders I can name.

[@fletcherw32]

@@DXFromYT You can't play through FEAR and then go to 2 like, anyone who likes 2 I'm pretty sure started there rather than FEAR being pushed heavy on their PC back in the day it was like Crysis. Like the games don't even feel the same, FEAR is a john Wu film and FEAR 2 is just call of duty singleplayer.

[@DXFromYT]

@@fletcherw32 FEAR 2 doesn't really play anything like COD. I like it quite a bit. Not more than the original obviously but it's insanely over hated today.

[@TheMightyCookieShow]

I remember my wife and I having the time of our lives playing this game. Lol

[@duhashun8279]

This game is a masterpiece and you know it....... :^)

[@Mega-y5d]

still not as bad as superman 64

[@rikkibasher2340]

Awesome vid DX👍👍👍

[@paragonrobbie9270]

Agreed upon until the part about console and controller inferiority. Honestly, an Aliens FPS should be slower if you're playing as a human and console focused FPS games definitely exist. Now, if you're playing a more arcade-like FPS like Quake or DOOM, then mouse and keyboard is the way to go.

[@BigR505]

When you made the similarities to FEAR 2 I was surprised! But I still liked FEAR 2

[@QuickQuips]

I loved the school scene. But the first just felt right, there's no qtes, the final level felt right with no levers, and the dual pistols were so satisfying.

[@BigR505]

I hear you. I had more fun and scares from the first one

[@SharpestSniper99]

I'm with you man FEAR 2 is a good game

[@CedricBarber0687]

ha! horrible game...can't believe the level designer was the same. I didn't realize how unimaginative the guy was...fuck this is bad!

[@NSG_UK]

For a dollar it's a bargain.

[@isukeinukai6941]

I wouldn't buy it for a dollar. I'd rather buy the 2014 Robocop movie with that dollar.

[@Canadian_duck31]

For a dollar you could buy candy instead this crap shack of a game.

[@EddyTheDevil1]

Even a quarter is still too much.

[@Deadsea_1993]

Lol not at all. I paid $6 for it and I'd rather have bought fast food with it instead. I got to level 3 and I never played this game again because it was just that bad.

[@sheriffaboubakar9720]

Deadsea1993 Gaming So... nothing in the game was enjoyable at all?

[@nicholascuthbert2182]

Brooooo, I'm jealous if this is the worst fps you've experienced. Try being a terminator fan back in the early 2000s (Terminator 3 games).

[@АлексейЛогинов-ж1ц]

FEAR 2 was quite a good game, btw, a total winner in level design, at least.

[@yozoramikazuki5927]

F.E.A.R 2 was at least playable and pretty fun at times. This game was frustrating to play.

[@gast128]

The game was buggy for sure and didn't possess the graphics what was promised but by no means it's the worst fps ever.

[@juliansykes9087]

you gotta make some shirts idk what they say but if I had to say it should say horrendous in cringey font

[@mathabroad8908]

Idn dude i dont think u actually know what u talking about cuz u probably never played it. It shoulda been game of the year for good atmoshpere and excellent acting cuz its a canon movie sequal. U are wromg about gun mechanic and hit box. Its actually advanced mechanic that other game doesnt have yet, try it its realistic. Aim down sights and gun sways from breathing and hit box is hard to hit cuz cuz thats how real is, its like realistic. You were a bit harsh i guess cuz u disnt understand it was advanced mechanicals. Ai was borked at launch true but we know its teather mispelling in congures file...fix that and xenos is insane smart they wall climb and behind smeak u its insane!! Try it again u see. Templar mod takes it to the next level.

[@kissingzombieschannel3708]

Okay, so yea this game is fucking terrible, unplayable without user created patches... but I wouldn't call it the worst FPS ever, simply because the Raven mission was kind of awesome, and there is scum like Kimulator and Galactic Hitman out there.. it is one of the worst AAA games, yes, but definitely not the worst FPS ever... also, talking about Gearbox and SEGA is all good and well, but Colonial Marines wasn't even developed by Gearbox, it was outsourced to Day 1 Studios... and yes I fucking hate FEAR 3 and that was a Day 1 baby aswell...

[@adamduffield7782]

KissingZombie's Channel yeah fear 3 was not a patch on the first 2. And yes it's gearbox fault. After Sega gave rights to gearbox to make an alien game. Gearbox were the ones who decided to outsource it so they could work on borderlands .randy pitchfords bullshit about being a huge aliens fans is utter crap. If he was then why did he decide to outsource aliens colonial marines instead of getting on and working on it and putting back borderlands 2?

[@Deadsea_1993]

Adam Duffield. Thank you. Seriously, how is it not the fault of Gearbox and Sega ? Gear was in charge of making the game and they outsourced it and good or bad, they are still responsible for the game. You don't give a kid your homework to do and then if they don't do it, tell the teacher "well it was supposed to be done". Sega also should have taken a loss on this. It probably would have been a goldmine that they invested in this, yet gamers deserved better than this garbage. I paid $6 for this awful game and couldn't continue after level 3 because it was too awful. Imagine paying $60 or even $120 for the collector's edition.

[@kyrozudesoya1829]

What's sad is that the AvP2 game on PC still holds up better than this shit did at launch. Just play AvP2 instead of this. Hell, they should just do a remake/remaster of the AvP2 campaign.

[@alexzandate5807]

The fuck? I never experienced any of these problems. Hell, I actually enjoyed and played the fuck out of CM. I guess people bought unpolished versions of the game, because I never experienced any bugs or bad A.I. Either the Mandela Effect's hitting me hard, or some people have, correction, had really buggy versions of the game.

[@cacomeat7385]

Alex Zandate You probably have all the patches. Maybe even community patches. Even still the game is a really bad FPS, but maybe with patches and community mods the game can offer a lot of thrilling encounters despite the bad gunplay.

[@alexzandate5807]

Yeah. I think some people should give it another chance and then decide if it's bad or not for them. Like I said, I still enjoyed the hell out of it.

[@dylang2255]

Alex Zandate You're one of the rare weirdos who liked it. There is good reason this game was trashed in reviews, it is because it is trash.

[@alexzandate5807]

Wait. You're telling me this game has mods?

[@alexzandate5807]

Jacko Ludvich Ah yes. Because liking a game that was hated by a majority makes me and many others a "weirdo". Get out of here with that flawed logic.

[@beinoauph2735]

John Mulkey or whatever his name is should feel ashamed for ruining the experience of many, and should apologize publicly

[@psychotictrait3757]

At least AVP 3 was great.

[@naderambriss7813]

far better

[@oliviawilliams6204]

I will stay with AvP2...

It looks like you're using a paintball gun.

its not that shit. Battle front 3 is shit.

[@rogaldorn3525]

Trollzyn/Trazyn Battlefront 3 was never released.

I think he really is..... Half his complaints boiled down to "its too realistic". The sway thing is realistic. The sprinting is realistic. Lot of his complaints were ones that youd experience in real life.

[@FoxMcCloud3173]

Wasnt daikatana the worst FPS ever Damn DX make up your mind

[@drewjackson3858]

Haven't played ACM. But I did play a little Fallout 76. I wonder which is worse.

[@TheIcarusFalls]

I know I'm a little late to the party but we're just not gonna talk about 24:09 where O'neal fucking crabwalks into the conversation? Ok then.

[@trinitybingham2406]

"Then started to yell out commands, like 'Cover me!' ... What the FUCK?!" Lost it right there. Great video. Broken fucking game.

[@chrisandrew7577]

You should play vanquish to make yourself feel better. Great underrated game

[@dannylamb456]

I find it very interesting that you go on about tracers and enemies reacting to being shot. I've always wondered what makes games like Killing Floor (and KF2) so... visceral, so thanks for basically pointing out something I never notice.

[@DXFromYT]

You should check out this video I did. Goes even further into FPS traditions and what I like/dislike about FPS games in general. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKrKk3xrqrySeqc

[@IDGCaptainRussia]

Gearbox, wtf did you guys do...? I find it hard to believe Gearbox created Duke Nukem Forever, and THIS. These are the same guys behind the Borderlands series and that series is fucking fantastic! (Tough I doubt DX has ever played Borderlands, so he is only seeing their bad side :/) In fact, Gearbox makes me see them in a similar light to Acclaim that, they have created very good games that were well received at the time (Turok Dinosaur Hunter), and also trash (Bubsy, and also to an extent: South park the video game)

[@Random_Numbers7]

What are your thoughts on Alien isolation

[@MrSlendykinsSockman]

Powerloader combat was horrid? Oh man, you're missing out on doing that shit on Ultimate Badass, literally have this fight but remove the hud, but add in friendly fire and a fuck ton of HP for the big dude.

[@DXFromYT]

That sounds so horrendous.

[@MrSlendykinsSockman]

DXFan619 It's honestly the worst boss fight I've ever experienced in my history of gaming :(

[@DXFromYT]

My condolences.

[@MrSlendykinsSockman]

Thank you

[@donovannotmyname7306]

I must have grabbed some unicorn copy, because I never had those major glitches. Then again I actually liked the first homefront game

[@DXFromYT]

You ain't alone in that one. Don't tell anyone, but I even like the second Homefront game.

[@Stevin20687]

Oh that fucking power loader fight. It is so much worse on the highest difficulty setting (Ultimate Badass, I think it was called) due to the fact that your allies can now harm you. Add to that fact that for some fucked up reason your allies are now almost always constantly shooting every alien in the arena including the boss which, due to the previous area before the fight, they know is impervious to bullets.They will still try to shoot the fucker, even shooting through YOU, thus killing you and setting you back to the last checkpoint, in their attempt in trying to kill it. I died so many times, I had to ask a friend to help me get past that area on the highest difficulty. Seriously, fuck that fight.

[@alexcc293]

Just found your channel. Second video in, good stuff

[@demongrenade2748]

HOLY SHIT He's right about John Mulkey. Like holy fuck balls I had no idea. That explains so much

[@sickhorrorfreak]

Man, I forgot how hilariously bad this game is.
