Aah, Weyland-Yutani: Because Umbrella had to get their ideas from Somewhere...

I love how the arabic text at the end is just a bunch of arabic letters strung together without even being properly attached to make words. That pretty much sums up this game.

They look random and not attached because they were written from left to right, the opposite of how Arabic is supposed to be written Otherwise, it's actually spelled correctly.

Buggier than a big bug, bugging out in a dune buggy and the following frame had me sniggering loudly at work XD

Threadomancy go!

Okay I finally got this from gamefly, cause I had to see the train wreck. this was also AFTER the massive patch, so I admit my perspective is colored.

Post Patch though i gotta admit, this was not the shitload of fuck that I expect the AVGN to be reminiscing about 10 years from now. The level "The Raven" was out of context and annoying as hell, I could have done without it (and never intend on playing it again) but the rest of the game was passable as an Aliens game.

I just don't understand why they didn't just have you play as Ripley.The generic idea here of playing either the aliens or marines seems kinda dull.Let me play as Ripley or the Alien Queen and you can shut up and take my money.Are we so afraid of male gamers who won't ever play as a woman that that even means chucking out the baddest ass female protagonist of all time? Or perhaps it was a likeness / rights issue? Anyhoo for me an Aliens game without Ripley is no fun at all.

I only signed back in for the first time in a couple of years just to say that when I got the game it wasn't so bad. Not trolling. For a fiver, it was good enough.
