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.

If you really want to be technical, the first AVP game was for the Super Nintendo, not the Game Boy. Secondly, I was talking specifically about the exact same PC series you are. The first person shooter, survival horroresque, Rebellion developed series? Yeah that all started on the Jaguar, not the PC. Everything the PC games were built from comes from the ideas in that first game in '94. Just for the sake of argument though, what "half-assed, shoehorned mechanics that make no sense whatsoever and ruin the game completely" were in the original Jaguar game?

To be fair that game was far far better than the pile of crap that this newest one is, however if you look at it and compared it to DOOM, which was out by the time it came out. The game was slower paced, and it really missed a speed turn button (DOOM's run also turne dyou a lot faster). Since we're also on the topic of how limiting consoles are, remember how broken the Save Game didn't save some important things, you know... like enemies left or stuff you had? Somehow DOOM didn't have those problems, and it's a pretty big omission. Granted I only played my friend's Jag, but I still noticed those problems. Maybe there were even more if I had actually owned the Jaguar and played the game more.

 As far as the AVP series goes, the ones exclusively for PC were the best ones, with the 2nd being better than the first. Of course, this series goes down with many many other great franchises which consoles absolutely ruined.
