Aliens: Colonial Marines Collection

It's nothing special but for the price I got it for which was next to nothing, it proved to be a fun time with some friends and just getting through the title. I wish there was more to it overall as this had the ability to truly do something special but if you're buying it now, you already know what's up. Either find some people that you can enjoy these types of games with or maybe steer clear.

i did finish the main game with a couple of crashes but now i cant play the game at all crashes on loading screen even with fix

Try it with mod, and in Bad Ass mode, you will see something great about this game https://www.moddb.com/mods/templargfxs-acm-overhaul

[h1]ℂ𝕠𝕝𝕠𝕟𝕚𝕒𝕝 𝕄𝕒𝕣𝕚𝕟𝕖𝕤? 𝕄𝕠𝕣𝕖 𝕝𝕚𝕜𝕖 𝔹𝕦𝕘𝕘𝕪 𝕄𝕒𝕣𝕚𝕟𝕖𝕤...[/h1] Aliens: Colonial Marines should’ve been a dream come true. A first-person shooter set in James Cameron’s Aliens universe? Pulse rifles, motion trackers, Weyland-Yutani nonsense? On paper, it’s basically fan-service for the thirsty Alien fan. In reality? it’s more like a crappy unhinged distress signal that should've been left unanswered. The atmosphere is the game’s strongest weapon. The sound design does a lot of heavy lifting—motion tracker pings, distant screeches, the iconic weapon noises... Add to it the rising tension, as you run into a corridor as the xenomorphs crawl out of vents and into the ceiling... And then the shooting starts, the xenomorphs suddenly turn into glitchy clunky messes, your allies are doing god knows what and the AI just breaks down. The AI is infamously bad, and not in a “haha, dumb enemies” way, no no... It's bad in a “why are these xenomorphs running into walls and staring at me?” way. Hunters that ought to be stalking you are out in the open waiting for you to shoot them. Crushers that ought to be charging at you, are stuck in the nearest truck... Enemies often ignore basic logic, pathfinding is busted, and tension evaporates when the monsters can’t figure out how doors work. For a game built around fear and pressure, that’s kind of a chestburster (pun greatly intended lol) Now that we've established that the game's AI is crap, which makes the whole experience quite sad at the least; let's talk about the Multiplayer, and yes, if you gather enough friends you can play a bunch of very fun online modes where you can even play as the dreaded xenomorphs. The campaign, for what it's worth, is stretched out and the only thing, in my opinion, that killed this game are the glitches. [b]6/10[/b] gaming experience, now that I've completed it, I'll forget it ever happened lol.

This was probably the best game made in the 2010's. Unfortunately... my friends aren't built the same and couldnt cut it DX

It's not the worst game of all time but it sure is dissapointing. Still, if you are a fan of Aliens be sure to give it a go as it's not without its momements and you can play it with friends. Serves as a great reminder to never pre-order anything as the E3 demo looked much, much better. A very generous 6/10 from a life-long Aliens fan, 3 or 4 for anyone else.

I don't think I can say a lot about Aliens: Colonial Marines that hasn't been said before. The history, the development hell, the release disaster and the bugs. So I won't. What I can do is review this from someone who didn't follow the development at that time. That went into this knowing that it's going to be bad. That only expected bad things from this game. First, a PSA: There are quite a few things to do before you start playing this game that can improve the experience. I recommend going to pcgamingwiki before playing. So I expected the game to be abhorrent. A failure in every aspect possible. So how was it? It was actually ok. The story is bad. It's nonsense at the best of times and the dialogue is bad. Very bad. The voice acting is also subpar. The graphics is pretty bad for 2011. It looks like a mid tier 2007 game mostly, with games like Bioshock looking much better. The gameplay is.... serviceable. It's not great but it works. The ai isn't the best but it's serviceable. The weapons are ok, even tough they don't feel correct in terms of the lore of Aliens. There's some irritating sections (Like the loader vs alien bossfight) but overall, I never got too irritated. It's just a boring, run of the mill shooter. I can't really recommend this for most people. Only get this if you're curious about video game history or if you like bad games. I know you guys are out there.
