If only it was that easy to fix the game's mediocrity feature:

This is a prime example of Sheep. It is an amazing Game. Personally id give it 9/10. ALL of the reviewers hates can be fixed in the options menu. They just cant be bothered. But who am i kidding? Follow your reviewers, little sheep. Baaaaa

I'd hardly call 70 mediocre. That just basically means it doesn't pave any new ground but it's still a damn fun game.

Of course, I haven't played it, but in games past that's what it meant. Only 50 or lower meant possibly bland and terrible.

Although I haven't played Aliens vs. Predator yet (and was admittedly quite underwhelmed by the demo), I'm really starting to question some professional reviewers' scores for games lately. I've played some recent games where some of the "facts" (not opinions) are way off. For example, one of the reviewers of Dante's Inferno griped that the save points in the game are few and far between. When in reality, they're all over the place (maybe too frequent). It just seems strange. It's almost as if some reviewers are playing through a level or two and jumping to conclusions about entire games.

I read a review that said when playin as the Aliens, the human AI is really dumb and in no way works together as a team of space marines probably sorta would. What's the option you change to fix that?

That isnt true so it doesnt need an option. Ill admit the AI isnt ground breaking but even so, on normal at least, the marines did work together to take me down. Maybe the reviewer played on easy?

I'd buy that. I think a lot of reviewers blow thru a game on easy/normal to meet the deadline for the article. I have yet to play it. But that's pretty much a big complaint by the GameInformer reviewer in this month's mag. He gave it a 5 out of 10 I think.

But I agree with a post above.. The MP demo was really boring.

They chose the worst map and worst mode for the multiplayer demo. Im having so much fun on Survivor right now, they should have included that. The Marine campaign is the best, then the Predator. The Alien campaign is great but its really quite short.

The controls are fluid if you turn on Auto Transition as the alien. On all the reviews that complained about Alien controls not being fluid, I wanted to shout through the reviews that "you could turn on autotransition you arsehole!". None of them enabled that option and that fixes the problem. It also seemed to me that a lot of rveiewers were picking on problems that wernt there.


No iron-sights = If they gave you iron sights you'd complain its useless because the aliens move waaay too fast.

Graphics are bland = Simply put. The graphics are not amazing but they ARE next gen for gods sake! If MGS4 had slightly worse graphics would that make it a bad game!? The graphics are GOOD not great, but GOOD.

Poor Level Design = Ok, thsi pissed me off. The level design is EXACTLY like the movies! Exactly! They complain about the predator not being able to jump high, HE JUMPS EXACTLY LIKE IN THE MOVIES!

It's true reviewers do not often dig thru all the game's contents. I heard an IGN editor talking about how there's no way to tell how many hours you played in Assassin's Creed 2, umm yeah there is in the start menu. Haha so dumb.

Either way they give you your money back if they sell your "reserved" copy.

Is this a failed attempt at humor or are you just that stupid?

It's a patch and it's the Weyland Yutani logo. You know, the company from the Aliens movies (and later AvP movies) that funds the colonies that get attacked and the deep space missions to save and salvage what's left of them.

I see what you did thar. If you are serious, though, Rudy is obviously a fan of the Alien films when you think about how much he samples them.

If you look at them closely, you can see a little difference. The parts in the :wumpscut: logo that are triangles framing the W are actually the parts in the original that make up the Y.

If you know all of this and are just trolling, forgive me. ^_^_^_^_^

Damn it, first I find out best buy wont be shipping mine because it's on backorder despite preordering it! Now i find out when I get it in 3 weeks, when the multiplayer community will probably be nonexistent, it might be broken!

There are loads of full games now and it isnt broken. It uses a Lobby System unlike the demo.

I never worried about that, never had any problems during the demo. I'm just scared that by the time I get it the community'll be gone. Sure there's plenty on right now, but it's only been out two days! What about 3 weeks? Guess I can kiss those achievements goodbye

It actually isnt even out in the UK. So everyone on now are americans! When the UK join, about 80% more people will come on. For a bit of comparison. AvP2 is still amazingly active (You can always find a full game of survivor) and its been out for more than a decade.

Wow, seeing that on someone's shelf is definitely a female repellent.
