      Same with Duke Nukem Forever. No, it's not a particularly good game and certainly not what we were expecting but believe it or not, there is fun to be had with DNF. I think the reason why it got so hated aside from the overwhelming hype is that people just simply weren't interested in Boomer Shooters as the time. The late 2000s and early 2010s was when the Dude-Bro military shooter genre completely dominated the market. If you weren't playing Call of Duty, then you were playing Battlefield and vice versa. 2011 just happened to be the year where Military Shooter peaked in popularity with releases like Battlefield 3 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

      I think part of the reason why DNF failed aside from it being a mediocre shooter is that it came out at the exact wrong time. The late 2000s and early 2010's was the era of Dude-Bro monster energy drinking military shooter. This was the era where Call of Duty and Battlefield just completely dominated the market. It was just unavoidable. 2011 happen to be the year where the genre peaked in popularity. 2011 also had Call of Duty: MW3 and Battlefield 3.

    I remember seeing the trailer for this game on Adult Swim in my middle school year. At the time, my stepdad had gotten me into the Alien films, I had AvP on my PS3, and I played Aliens: Infestation on my Nintendo DS. When my stepdad saw the final product of this game, he was upset that it ruined my love of the franchise

    I love Aliens as a movie as it is an awesome sequel to a classic, though over the years I wish there had been a couple of changes such as no queens and just egg morphing instead (it makes the creatures just more alien).
    My major complaint with it however is how it changed the creature, by making it more like an angry bug and cannon fodder I think it reduced how threatening it is.
    Now it could be mowed down by the dozens.
    I don't think all future games should be like Alien Isolation which was a pretty good game at the time in which the creature is invulnerable.
    Rather I think there should be more a middle way between Alien and Aliens when it comes to game portrayal of the creature. It can be wounded and even killed, but it takes a lot of effort as the creature is cunning, fast, and will retreat when overwhelmed.
    If you actually want to kill it you have to chase it down but this only increases the chances that it will ambush you.
    So you have to choose between keeping it at bay but it slowly wearing you down, or try to kill it permanently but risk facing it in a place where it has the advantage.

    Great job with the review. This is one of the few reviews out there that I feel like properly addresses the problems with game and disappointment without overly exaggerating how bad the game is. It’s really tiring to hear the “worst game of all time” narrative that completely ignores games like hunt down the freeman. I’ll always agree with it’s the most disappointing game but it’s so mediocre it doesn’t even make me directly angry. To me it’s such a boring game that “worst of all time” implies that it’s remarkably bad and it’s not even that. It’s just flat out bad and boring.

    Oh, god, Colonial Marines. I made the mistake of buying this poor man's F.E.A.R. earlier this year (IDKW, though). I actually began my attempt to play through this (after fixing the Teather bug) with Stasis Interrupted, the game's Downloadable Expansion Pack. Gameplay wise, it's a meh (definitely better than the main game), but writing wise, oh god. It felt like a butthurt Aliens fanboy's attempt to write the events of Alien 3 and the expanded universe material that followed out of canon by retconning the opening crash so that Hicks was replaced by some other marine, and that he attempted to save Ripley from committing suicide. As a true (read: sane and healthy) fan of the first three Alien movies, although it wasn't as insulting as Covenant, it still baffled me to no end. And then I tried to play the main game and OH GOOD GRIEF.
    Basically, you're better off playing Alien: Isolation and the Aliens versus Predator games than this. I know that the person reading this comment is a reasonable adult who knows not to buy crap, and so it's mandatory to stick to those. I only recommend Aliens: Colonial Marines if you're curious. Or if you're a butthurt Aliens fan, if you want to see canon take it up the ass.
    Or... for those of you with short attention spans, let me put it another way: *GET AWAY FROM THIS GAME YOU DUMB BITCH!!!!*

    I just finished this game for the first time. Difficulty: "Hardened". I am such a big fan of Aliens and I wished it was far better that it actually was. Forgettable and repetitive. They tried some new tricks but they didn't work for me. It had some fine moments and tense scenarios but overall I felt disappointed.
    In my opinion the game could have been better if:
    - you had scarce ammunition all around but the weapons were much more powerful
    - you had fewer xenomorphs but more intelligent and deadlier
    - they did something to show how vulnerable you can be without making the gameplay frustrating
    - if they had to add human enemies at least add some combat andriods

There is no cutscene, no time has passed between Mission 1 ending and Mission 2 beginning, nothing explaining why we've gone from "oh thank god" to "panic"
