the game was rushed to release, sega didn't ferking give gearbox enough time and they KNEW they through the game upon a company with a few other games already being made at the time, gearbox actually made a fantastic game, it's just buggy as all hell because they didn't have the time to beta-test it effectively.
--
Hell it went through like 4 or 5 companies before gearbox, didn't it? so they didn't exactly get the first piece of the cake when it came to making the game, they took what they could, patched it up, storified it, and polished as much as they could just before release, why the heck is everyone butchering it?!
Nope. They were responsible in the end. Maybe they did not create the entire game, but they determinately lied and let down the fans by ignoring the game they agreed to work on. Reeks of laziness and false promises to me. After praising how good DnF was and the outsourcing of BL2 DLC idk how people can just believe Gearbox so easily.
edited: I had some rant here but after using my silly lil' head I sort of realised I probably shouldn't say stuff without actually playing the game. I watched some youtube vids of people playing it and enjoying it (albeit I'm alarmed how few aliens seem to understand/use wall climbing... it's kinda shocking) and multi-player wise it doesn't actually look all that bad (it could still be terribad though, just stopping myself from whining about something I've never even played.)
The campaign does sound/look terrible from what I've seen but I never really buy Aliens franchise games for single player (except that metroid-style one by way-forward which was pretty darn good)
edit 2: wait... do the aliens HAVE to be played in 3rd person? I don't know what to make of that... for a normal melee game I'd usually see that as a plus but it'd make all the usual crazy crawling through vents, pipes, small bits and general mad ceiling/wall running I do probably kill the camera dead

Looks like GBX royally screwed the pooch on this one. At least it means that there is one less potential competitor to NS2 out there. Also, best GIF ever:
I don't see how people are just calling this goofy and hilarious, it's literally (LITERALLY) my worst nightmare. Their whole walking-on-back-legs while twitching and looking at your general direction reminds me of their human background which makes it even more disturbing.

it's looking like this game is some kind of scam
IGN gave the 360/ps3 version a "4.5" which is a "bad."
IGN most never gives out "bad" ratings.
