I think its mostly hate with a 47 meta score.

gearbox pls

I think the problem was that Colonial Marines was build around the co-op campaign, so they were being lazy and just used the console textures, effects etc. for the PC version. Even on consoles it looks like an early PS3 or 360 game. It worked for Borderlands though since that has a completely different art style, but they definitely gave the PC version some extra eye-candy.

Not suprised at all.

I know this game would be bad.

Also, pity Wii U users, another hardcore game to the drain.



This gif - anyone who play the game.

They could have made it as an expansion to AVP 2010 and it would be 10x better with 1/2 the work done already.

They dont. Development proccess of A:CM actually started before AVP 2010.



Every article I read from a college kid trashes this game. Aliens colonial marines is awesome I played it last night and the game is far better than some of these articles/ people who says its a bad game. I'm glad I did not listen to the negative reviews. The



Reviewers who grew up during the actual movies era give it 8 out 10. I think people love to tear things down no matter what it is. If you grew up on aliens like I did this is a must have. By far the best aliens game I have ever played.
