Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2

Game has terrible dialogue, cinematics, gameplay feels unsatisfying when getting kills, and overall not fun when playing with friends.

Imagine Aliens Fireteam with with MUCH deeper gameplay yet less world building and lore. That is Fireteam Elite 2. If you enjoyed the first game, get this one. If you haven't played either, get the first one first.

Провёл в игре больше 10 часов, купил впервые минуты релиза и вот что я думаю в целом о игре, играя в соло в неё: 1. Она дорогая, со многими обзорами на тему цены игры, я соглашусь, сильно дорого для такой игры, её максимум был бы в 35-40 баксов, но не 50. 2. Сюжет в начале по структуре напоминает первую часть, но дальше, уже после первой компании, он развивается в более интересное направление, что радует. Так же сам сюжет теперь поддаётся не только в диалогах во время миссии и разговорами с нпс на Эндеворе, но и катсценами, что облегчает задачу следить за сюжетом. Сам сюжет для меня в сравнении с первой игрой на 6/10, не рыбо и не мясо, просто норм, типичная история в этой вселенной(почти). Радует тот факт, что разработчики не бояться расширять вселенную. Новые типы врагов от роботов, новых патогенов, и дополнительных каст в улье ксеноморфов как Варден и Сирена, очень радуют глаз, что идёт ей в плюс. 3. Система прокачки. В целом игра стала глубже первой части, доп. Слоты для перков, перки для оружий, ассортимент оружий стал больше, кастомизация так же стала более гибкой. 4. Но есть на что и поругаться хочется на разработчиков, сильно много перестрелок с синтетиками В-Ю, сильно раздражает, так как долго убивать их приходиться, что патронов не остаётся в обеих слотах оружия, и приходится брать уже пекаль и мочить как только сможешь. 5. Сами компании и миссии очень красивые, в отличие от первой игры, где в основном мы сражались на станции Катанга, во второй части чувствуется что она более масштабна в плане того что мы находимся уже на самой колонии сторс бун. На этом вроде всё, хотел бы добавить, что лучше подождите когда игра будет на первых скидках, вот тогда её можно взять. Длс сейчас не зачем брать, так как они херовые, нормальных пушек не завезли туда, а скины полное дерьмо, спокойно можете брать стандартное издание. Насчёт таймлайна, где игра находится(я такое делаю по всем играм этой вселенной в обзорах) Игра находиться в 2207 году(после чужой³) за два года до событий игры AvP: 2010 у которой события были в 2209 году. В целом игра хорошая, просто не за такой ценник её продают вот и минус

Hey, hot shot. I like your game, hot shot. But I do think there's some problem with it, hot shot. Notably, hot shot, the fact that you see, hot shot, there's no way to skip the cut scenes you've made, hot shot. These cutscenes not only at about 20fps, but also just add annoyance after you've done the same mission 10 times. So, hot shot, I'd definitely add that. Apart from that, hot shot. Can we stop getting called 'hot shot' every 2 seconds? Otherwise good game so far. Thanks, Hot shot.

Having helped a few friends through the story, clearing all the classes in record time thanks to a willingness to just roll with higher difficulty cards and doing the only sensible thing and setting voices to 0 (Why AM I STILL HEARING THEM IN MISSION AT ALL.) I'll tell you the good, the bad and the ugly. The good: The game is more or less using the first game's team's work so it looks like Aliens and the music is more or less good enough even if it's utterly forgettable. Your Marines look alright. The critters are the same models from the last game with a few remixed enemies. Running the game with 'High Threat Environment IV' (+100% damage to enemies and friends) makes the game feel considerably better. If you have two hands and a pulse you can probably safely run with the full clown fiesta runs leading to you hitting level 8-10 depending in 4-5 missions. At least this gets into the chaotic fun territory. The mediocre: The levels don't have variations to them like FTE1 did. They were minor variations, but they did help. The gun selection is meh. I'm half convinced they balanced the game around controller users because, to borrow the joke, the Pranali guns explicitly are all best on Fullest Auto because none of them have significant recoil. The gun attachments are largely superfluous feeling. You can do some experimentation and tweaking, but it's largely arranging deck furniture on the Titanic. The Synths are easier to fight now to the point that the Pike will just insta-pop the heavies. They're somewhere in between good and bad to fight now because of it. The new toybox looking robots are just there. They added a 4th player slot, but the level design still feels claustrophobic enough to make me think that was a later decision in the dev cycle. The class building is still good. The remixed prior game's classes are mostly fine. The changes are sometimes dubious. Overclock going to the medic's already overloaded kit feels like it was slotted there for Specialist fodder as an example. Specialist is limited to Q and E abilities, not any pair of abilities. Ignore the weirdos saying it would be a balance problem. The game's a mess balance wise already. At least Specialist would let you get weird that way. The bad: Oh, there's a lot here. Let's get the writing out of the way. It's abysmal. Ko is not the same pilot from the first game despite sharing the same model. They got rid of Herrera, Esther (More on that later) and Hoenikker and replaced them with "Dad Jokes" and "Cocaaaaaaaine". Sorry, Raptor and Piper. There is no attempt to build tension. The writing genuinely feels like a bad fan-fic writer of Marvel's trash got slapped over the Aliens setting with such highlights as you telling two separate higher ranking people that they're screw ups in harsher language to their face. Your Marine whining "I'm not here to hunt people, I'm here to hunt bugs." Which would at least fly if we were mercs, not Marines. Piper any time she speaks. Shipp apologizing to you because you saw her kill a person and finally! Your Marine's barks. Almost all of them. "Sharp sticks mfer" 'I endanger species" 'Resupply or die folksresupplyordiefolksresupplyordiefolks" just to give you the authentic take on that last one. If you've made it this far and you're considering it. Mute the voices, skip the plot. Esther gets Buzz Lightyear factory reset and has like 3 lines of dialogue. Even on missions where you'd think she'd reprise her role as guide through things like the Engineer ship. I don't know why. The levels aren't bad, but they aren't good. That above lack of mission variety becomes a negative if you're doing more than one or two playthroughs with friends. They have such blatantly obvious triggers for hordes you can usually eyeball them in later missions on your first playthrough. There are no horde variations. No spawn variations. No direction mixups or anything else. Once you learn it, you can probably do a blindfold run within reason. The forced cutscenes are obnoxious since they're mid-mission and reset your positioning. Some of the weapons are still not worth using with special mention going to the Hel for being bad on every conceivable level when compared to literally any other in-slot weapon. The elemental weakness system feels tacked on and I only really noticed it in the same territory I saw it in 1, don't try to flamer the synths. The game is full of non-Xenomorph bugs. If you can't pick an item up, fire your pistol and reload so you can on that note. The pacing is abysmal if you are paying attention to the plot, even if it's a vain bid to MST3k it. The hub area is now reduced to the command deck where standing within a few feet of any NPC has them rambling constantly. The two final missions lead into each other and that's caused a slew of bugs. The final mission itself will kill you if you watch the cutscenes and you'll fail because they don't despawn the enemies or anything else and they'll kill you while you're locked into watching the dumbest ending I've seen in years. The enemy variety in-mission is less interesting. The new pathogen specials aren't remotely threatening or interesting to fight and the only fun thing of note about them was dubbing them failed Resident Evil designs. And the only nice thing I've got to say about the plot is the unintentional comedy of the main villain being so over the top Wey-Yu stepped in and told her she was going too far. tl;dr The game is full of bugs, alien bugs, pathogen bugs, buggy synths, more bugs, largely sterile level designs once you learn what they're up to, guns that have all been filed down to be 'on par' failing to realize this still makes some weapons leagues better and some of the worst writing and acting I've seen since Tom Servo resorted to chanting "Shut up" at the screen repeatedly in Alien from LA. Get this game on a steep discount. Grab the first instead. Or hell, grab World War Z.

If you like AFE1, you will like AFE2. Lazy devs overcharging for what does indeed feel like DLC. That being said it's familiar, playable and often quite fun still. Not going to make a recommendation for or against.

First Aliens game since Aliens vs Predator on the XBOX 360. This game has a lot to offer... at a 75% to 100% discount... only. I did 58 minutes. This included launching the game, adjusting the settings, starting the campaign, going through the dialogue which included choosing the option of "Sir, yes sir!" in response to a woman officer. As well as choosing the option of "Perhaps that woman had a virus or an allergic reaction." Which I'm guessing is in response to the situation the Devs must have been dealing with while releasing AFE2 in this condition. I completed the Prologue Mission (the first one) but I am yet to attain omnipresent super-galactic oneness with this game. I had no choice but to refund. If you are on the fence of getting this game, I can try to help you decide with the following chart: PRO: (Get the Game) You will probably end up refunding it. You will keep the game only because you went passed the 2 hour time limit on Steam. CON: (Not Getting the Game) You are missing nothing, except, the refund process on Steam, or, the intense "buyer's remorse" of getting the game and the frustration that comes along with it because you went over the 2 hour time limit on Steam.
