Initial impressions:

Too consolified, only 3 guns, seriously, what the fuck?
Aliens hit like pussies
Melee attack, seriously, when did you see anyone in the movies walk up to an Alien and hit it up close?

All in all, consoles take a shit on yet another franchise, so far.

Huh? When wasn't Aliens vs. Predator a console franchise? If anything I blame the PC. No reason as to why. I just feel like blaming it.

When it was AVP and AVP2 were solely released for the PC.

 

P.S. They were absolutely awesome and didn't have any half-assed, shoehorned, mechanics.

You mean the series Rebellion started on the Atari Jaguar almost 5 years before it ever saw the light of day on a PC? Man you sure don't know a lot about the history of a franchise you have no problems bitching about.

 

For those with a hint of nostalgia, remember these?

 

I need to get me a Jaguar again.

 

If you really want to be technical, the first AVP game was for the Game Boy. As I said earlier, the PC versions of AVP and AVP2 are the only AVP games which don't have ha;f-assed, shoehorned, mechanics that make no sense whatsoever (seriously... PUNCH AN ALIEN IN THE FACE, just how retarded is that?) and ruin the game completely.

I think you are playing it wrong, of have different expectations. Its definetly not a survival horror game you want it to be.

I dont think melee in the face ruins the game at all. Maybe you're jsut a pro and need a greater challenge, but if I couldn't melee aliens when they gang up on me, i would have given up on the game cause of frustration. Sure, its not realistic, but it fits the gameplay pace and action.

The first 1 on 1 fight with the Predator as a marine, if you got that far...even you have to admit that was badass.

You don't need the melee, just back pedal and strafe left or right and go in circles when you see they are about to do a charge/heavy attack. Then proceed to kill them. My point about the melee thing is exactly what you pointed out, it fits the gameplay pace and action, which is heavily lacking if you need to melee an Alien. Fighting a predator is much cooler and harder, however playing as the predator is also extremely frustrating, the controls are so much more awkward.

P.S. I loved how someone pointed out there were 5 guns in the game, as if that's a big number. Seriously, I laughed aloud.
