Thanks Trippy. I haven't been streaming much on Plays the past week or so because I'm working on a new video. And yes, there are AVGN projects in the works as usual. Thanks for watching -Mike
I love Mike 'cause he's not only hilarious, but knows how to keep James talking. It's almost like he's interviewing him in parts of this video, which is great.
the series reboot ... was awesome aswell, great visuals and one of the scarier ai's and movement sets for the xenomorph, downside for me atleast was the very console like control, espercially the wallwalking mechnics is obnoxious compare to the freeclimbing one in AvP2 though ^^
Yeah.. that PC game is still my absolute favorite A and or P related game. Well if i'm being honest. I can't remember if it was avp or avp2 on pc that i was the biggest fan of... one of those. Date wise I think avp2 is more likely. I played soo much of that, and Starship Troopers (which is a ton of fun with coop)
AVP 2 was one of the best multiplayer PC FPS's of its time. Super innovative. The last AVP game felt like a watered down version. There were just so many different tactics and ways to play it. The single player was great too. I really miss it. Death match with lifecycle mode on was always crazy fun.
I remember watching one guy who was an expert on Lt. Kurosawa, he basically finished the entire game alone by comboing the shit out of everything while barely touching the ground.
She's the best character. She has the downward thrust move like Link from Zelda 2. She can use that to cheese most bosses. If you know how to use her, she's basically god mode. I realized it after playing the crap out of the arcade game. I personally think the human dude is the worst character primarily due to his gun and limited moveset.
The two humans in the game are throwbacks to some of the Alien vs Predator and Predator lore. The guy is named after Arnold's character in the original Predator (not sure if he's supposed to be the same guy in this game). The girl is based on a character in the AvP novels.
Actually, if you checked out the general background in the Aliens franchise, the Wayland-Yutani corporation actually sought to capture the xenomorphs not to kill them, but to actually produce them as their own set of bioweapons to create, breed, and control while selling them to other armies around the universe to make a huge profit as bioweapon makers. I don't know if this is accurate, but that's the impression I get, especially around the ending of Alien 3 when they wanted to bring Ripley alive with the xenomorph baby that was inside her body. And there you have the reason why you fight human soldiers in the game. A military unit was brought in by Wayland-Yutani to capture the Aliens. The xenomorphs have some impressive abilities, but mind control isn't one of them. :P
Alien Isolation is in my opinion the essential Alien game. The acting, the suspense, and the level of detail in the Alien universe is fantastic. Definitely recommend it
A massievly heartwarming episode. Loved how AVP discussion slowly transcended into something much bigger, like a whole pop culture lecture, only condensed in awesomeness and served steaming hot. I've probably overdid a metaphor a litle bit, but this episode was great, really. And that's while I've already hooked on a show a lot and watch all the episodes with pleasure.
James Rolfe and Mike Matei.... I'm going through a difficult time in my life over stupid decisions I've made in the past it seems very hard to smile and laugh. I've only discovered your videos 3 years ago let's just say I was a late bloomer on TH-cam. but you guys are simply the best. even through these difficult times I am still able to smile and laugh....thank you
Screaming inside my head every time you guys got the infinite ammo power up (counter appears over character) and you didn't use your guns or plasma casters
James and Mike seem to rather talk about random stuff in these videos instead of actually playing the games. Mike and Ryan is a better combination because Ryan at least wants to play and show the games.
They're barely paying attention since they're entertaining for hte camera~ That is really just how lets plays work. Either you play the game well and rarely talk. Or you do less well in the game and present.
I wouldn't call this a lets play. Because a lot of people from actual lets play channels are more focussed on the games they play. And these lets play channels also most of the time only talk about the games they are playing instead of random unrelated stuff.
The AVP film from 2004 had actually cool action scenes, but I just couldn't stand the whole "Aliens on Earth since ancient times" thing. They should make a REAL adaptation of the original comic series by Dark Horse that was set in a space colony in the far future...
Just get Predator to hunt down a Xenomorph or multiple Xenomorphs indoors. No humans. Easy fucking movie to write. You don't need a complicated story arch. Predator hunts alien, one of them wins.
Statutory Grape That's gonna be a really silence film. People like us might like it, but general audience would rather have human intetaction with it, I'm sure.
You know what? In some classical arcade games, a unit digit of the total score represents how many times the player continued after dying. This means James spent 16 quarters to beat this game, and Mike did 14 (9+5) quarters.
I got this game on MAME ages ago, I set up my laptop like an arcade machine, where I could stand and play... I played the shit out of this game. Got to the point I could beat the whole thing, every boss, without getting hit once. Always played as Kurosawa, that character is so badass, would be awesome to see a live action version of her. In fact, I always thought the whole plot line they created with this game would translate really well to live action (certainly it would be better than AvP Requiem). You know what would be a great VS battle... Kurosawa vs Motoko (the major from ghost in the shell) ..I don't know a lot of strong cybernetic female characters in pop fiction, but these two have got to be at the top of that group.
Mike, the arcade game you were thinking of is "Alien 3: The Gun," which (IMHO) is greatly underrated but hard as hell. Also, as the years have gone on, I find that I appreciate the film "Alien 3" (especially the Assembly Cut) far more if I just view it as a completely independent movie, not as a continuation of "Alien" and "Aliens." As the latter, it still pisses me off, though as the former I can appreciate it for what it is.
You two have a friendship that just fills me with joy as well as jealousy. I would love to have a buddy to just play games on the couch with while talking about random bullshit lol. Haven't had that since my early 20's. Stay young gentlemen!
Fun note: Lt. Kurosawa (the girl character) is in the background of, I think it was a marvel vs capcom game, which means that 99% of Capcom, and Nintendo properties (thanks to smash brothers) are in the Westphall Universe.
when i was about 12 or so (32 now), i went with my stepdad on a bizness trip to Kansas city. i stayed in a really nice hotel while my stepdad was out doing whatever. this hotel had a little arcade area in the rec room. this Alien vs Predator game was in there, and i sat and played this game for HOURS and for DAYS. no telling how many quarters i pumped into that thing. it was fucking mind blowing gameplay for me at the time. this video brings back a lot of nostalgia. thanks AVGN.
Best xeno designs outside the Kenner toy line, and better variety than Aliens '90 arcade. This is the video game treatment the AvP expanded universe deserved! Wish Capcom made more :(
My internal arcade gamer screams as they never try to experiment with combos, don't notice the AB move costs health and waste powerups, steal each other's weapons. AvP Arcade had pretty insane combos and juggles... Atleast the stories and banter was great, though I'm bit amazed how Predators had escaped their radar. That movie is pretty gooood
The deal with the jekyll and hyde endings, as I understand it. Once youre on the last level, I believe the whole hyde getting farther than jekyll mechanic is over and hyde has to get farther than jekyll. This is where you have to employ some strategy because you need to drop your psyche meter and not your health. Best way i know to do this is to get hit by the singing ladys notes or you have to be just inside the bomb blast radius where you take little damage. I guess essentially, When Hyde gets to the final boss and defeats him, Hyde has "conquered his demons" and Jekyll can live in peace now. and the other ending Jekyll gets to the wedding before that happens and his fiancee got sick of waiting. best sense I can make of it
Oddly enough, this was initially supposed to be based on an AvP script James Cameron worked on. When it fell through they just kept going and released this game as a standalone.
AvP was about young Predators having to "prove their worth" so to speak by hunting the Xenomorphs. The Predators had set up a controlled hunting ground in Antartica with a captured Queen producing aliens to be hunted. HUmans found the hunting ground at the same time 3 young Predators are sent to prove themselves.
Lime Simple ok well I was going by the same time that I assume mike uploaded the video which was around 1 am. I believe I am in the same time zone as him
The sad/crazy part is the premise of the arcade game was originally how the movie was meant to turn out. Those talks were like 10-15 years prior to AVP before was even thought of.
I played this game ONCE in the arcade, and people called me nuts when I said there was a Capcom Alien/Predator game with a girl that looked like Chun-Li. Never saw it again until now. Thank you for proving to me that I didn't make it up. I also vaguely remember that it was supposed to come onto a Sega console, maybe 32X or Saturn. The magazine said to use the girl because she was the best.
Sean Connery was also offered the role of Morpheus from The Matrix around the same time Lord Of The Rings was being filmed and he didn't understand that script, either. Those two film series making tons of money and being critically praised caused him to realize he doesn't understand youth anymore.
I love James, but that was the worst Jack Nicholson impression ever haha! :) Good to see them chatting about the two best movies of all time - Alien and Aliens! Awesome! :)
I don't think either of them realizes that the male character is Arnold from Predator. Arnold is not only the 80s greatest action movie but also the greatest action star period. For a bunch of reasons I don't think we'll ever see that topped. Predators was a fantastic film. Literally watched it last night.
I actually grew up in Tokyo and played this game a lot in the early-mid 90s in the arcade, when I was in elementary school. This and an awesome WWF (now WWE) tag-team arcade game with the 80s stars. The end boss was the Legion of Doom. It was so good.
When the bloody hell are they going to release this on home consoles? I would put down serious money to have an online co-op version of this on Switch, Steam, or anything else.
hey guys, fun fact, the dude with the power arm in this game is Major Alan "Dutch" Schafer, the same Dutch from the original Predator movie, aka Arnold's character.
This is the best non dungeons n dragons beatemup Capcom has ever made. The combat is waaay deeper than Mike and James were able to show because they did less than half of the move sets of all the characters.
This game is a 110% better movie then Ridley's prequel trilogy, and everything after Predator 2 and Aliens. One of those games that is just better then the reboot movies. Like Ghostbuster 2009 and Alien:Isolation. One of those things where the game came out and just was a better adaption. Also... SF2 and MK... possibly better then the live movies imho.
I loved the Rebellion AvP game, and its Monolith sequel, but the arcade version is one I never got to play. Just want to say I appreciate you guys going back and giving us a good look at it.
The chest busters.....you did not noticed them 3 levels ago? And "Predators" by the way is a love letter from by Robert Rodriguez. So much references and stuff to the original movie.
Avp movies where definitely a disappointment but they are watchable. As far as the actual alien movies in order of best to worst I would say aliens, alien, Prometheus, covenant, resurrection, alien 3.
I really liked the movie "Predators" and was sad it was barely mentioned. I thought it was a true return to form for once. I realize that it took heavily from the original Predator movie but People love Overwatch and it copied from Team Fortress without much criticizing.
I've played this on the actual arcade cabinet and I borrowed the Capcom CPS2 motherboard along with the game off a friend of my dads. It's such an underrated beat em up game. I don't know why they didn't release it at all on a home console, I figure it probably would have had a good port on the Sega Saturn since it was during that era the game came out and the Saturn was really good with 2d graphics.
*YOU DON'T KNOW WHY YOU'RE FIGHTING HUMAN SOLDIERS ???* You guys were talking about food so much - you were not paying attention to the story. I'll give you a hint ... *WEYLAND.* You figure out the rest.
At this point, I watch these videos based on what game they are playing to see what comes up about that topic . It's great. The gameplay is a bonus. Since it feels kinda like we are there with them
Cinemassacre didn't y'all play it in that giant arcade or am I remembering wrong and thanks for making me want homestyle chicken noddle I convince myself all these years that they ran out every time I went in not daring to ask is it was discontinued :( you killed my illusion lol
Aliens 4 was basically trying to reboot the series, which had essentially fallen into a cinematic hole in 1991. In that sense, it can be an entertaining film. Aliens 3 was trying to deep and philosophical (in the original conception). Aliens 3 did better in Europe, then in the US
I own just about all the Alien games released. So far, I'm missing Alien (Atari 2600), the US version of Aliens for home computers (there was a completely different UK game), Aliens: Thanatos Encounter for GBC, Alien 3 for Game Boy, and Alien vs Predator for Gameboy - plus the various arcade games and mobile phone java games. Everything else, I have. I disagree that the only movies vital to the series are Alien and Aliens though. Alien 3 was a beautiful, brilliantly layered film. The fact it's even halfway watchable, despite all the problems it had in development and even during shooting is testament to the skill of the cast and crew. Alien Resurrection also has it's merits. That's one of the key strengths of the series - that it's flexible to be able to offer different styles of movies and still work.
While neither Alien vs Predator movie is good, neither are the worst thing ever (ESPECIALLY AVP Requiem). People really blew it out of proportion. Personally, I like AVP Requiem a little more b/c it had more of the Alien and Predator fighting than the first AVP.
The major issue I had with AVP Requiem was the horrible lighting in many scenes where you couldn't see what the hell was going on. What kills me is that those scenes were lit very well in the trailers but not the finished product. Must have been some post production butchering at that rate.
I not really sure, but I get the idea of what is happening MOST of the time. There are some parts where even I can't tell what's going on. It is horribly lit but some of the editing was similar to Aliens. That movie didn't really have many clear shots of the Aliens. Also, I guess I just see this movie as an improvement over the shakey cam, jump cuts in today's movies. But I get if someone can't tell what's going on. But I can for some reason.
"I get the idea of what is happening MOST of the time" is NOT a line that should be used when you refer to a MOVIE though. AvP Requiem is a bad movie, feels pretty dull and it being extremely dark most of the time for no real reason just made it feel like they didn't have the money to show the monsters.
I actually really like the girl best of all. She has so many "secret" moves, more than any other character. She's got a Hadoken, a slide-kick, a Chun Li-style aerial head stomp, a lunging stab with her sword, and an uppercut kick kinda like Cammy's Cannon Spike.
Sometimes I put my phone down and just listen to these videos while I'm doing dishes. It's so dumb to listen to people talk about nonsense like Wawa soups and pizza, but I love it so much. You guys really get on some random rants that are pretty fun.
Thanks Mike and James for putting out so much amazing content on the two channels. The evolution is much appreciated. Oh and... more AVGN :)
Thanks Trippy. I haven't been streaming much on Plays the past week or so because I'm working on a new video. And yes, there are AVGN projects in the works as usual. Thanks for watching -Mike
Glad you saw the message Mike because I really do appreciate it. You guys are the best, Much love.
Wait, there are two channels?? What's the other one?
Trippy Commentaries Oh shut up you dope.
+Alkaporty "Cinemassacre Plays" is their second channel. That's where all the live streams are uploaded.
I love Mike 'cause he's not only hilarious, but knows how to keep James talking. It's almost like he's interviewing him in parts of this video, which is great.
James and Mike's friendship is so fucking beautiful man.
yeah just not so close... kinda weird man....
now u could wait untill their daughter haz 18 and date her as revenge, then drop her for her mom.
+Blue Inside That's rough man
its not revenge... its called friendship...
bros before hos, that wasn't cool
Arnie's character from the Predator flick was named Dutch Schaefer, so there's your character connection.
I freakin loved all the Capcom CPS-2 arcade games, so many beat 'em up gems
IKR. I'm glad we have emulation nowadays.
Capcom was the king of arcade beatem ups. To many to name.
I'm kind of glad Sean Connery didn't end up being Gandalf.
"You shhhhall not passshhhh!"
Mike you need to get Alien Vs Predator 2 on PC it was made in 2002 but was AMAZING. It did the series justice.
the series reboot ... was awesome aswell, great visuals and one of the scarier ai's and movement sets for the xenomorph, downside for me atleast was the very console like control, espercially the wallwalking mechnics is obnoxious compare to the freeclimbing one in AvP2 though ^^
Yeah.. that PC game is still my absolute favorite A and or P related game. Well if i'm being honest. I can't remember if it was avp or avp2 on pc that i was the biggest fan of... one of those. Date wise I think avp2 is more likely.
I played soo much of that, and Starship Troopers (which is a ton of fun with coop)
animedudevid
Yes. The AvP game franchise has a great set of games. Not exactly the best, but I feel they do both Predator and Alien justice.
That game is one of the best FPS horror games, really creepy if you play as marine.
AVP 2 was one of the best multiplayer PC FPS's of its time. Super innovative. The last AVP game felt like a watered down version. There were just so many different tactics and ways to play it. The single player was great too. I really miss it. Death match with lifecycle mode on was always crazy fun.
I used to drop so many quarters on this game!
add Turtles in time on that list..... lets go back in time!
Collecting Plastic It was worth it!!!!!
Collecting Plastic you can still drop quarters into my arcade machine I need new bezel :)
RaceToNowhere So lucky
this is one game i would hunt down an official cabinet for, and there arent that many that i can say that about, thank god for MAME Cabinets.
I remember watching one guy who was an expert on Lt. Kurosawa, he basically finished the entire game alone by comboing the shit out of everything while barely touching the ground.
sounds like he has no life
She's the best character. She has the downward thrust move like Link from Zelda 2. She can use that to cheese most bosses. If you know how to use her, she's basically god mode. I realized it after playing the crap out of the arcade game. I personally think the human dude is the worst character primarily due to his gun and limited moveset.
Play as some Japanese soldier lady with power amour? Why not!?
Is she original to this game?
I don't understand all the hate for League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. I actually liked that movie. Apparently, that's an unpopular opinion.
Same here
I always loved it but it's a little cheesy watching it these days.
I feel the same.
I LOVE the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen!!
They're playing as Arnold in a good videogame for once and they don't even realize it, lol.
Crazy huh? So many easter eggs in this game.
i was thinking that too....and it would have changed the discussion about the Movies
Was looking for this comment. Wasn't hard. It's at the top 😉
The two humans in the game are throwbacks to some of the Alien vs Predator and Predator lore. The guy is named after Arnold's character in the original Predator (not sure if he's supposed to be the same guy in this game). The girl is based on a character in the AvP novels.

And there you have the reason why you fight human soldiers in the game. A military unit was brought in by Wayland-Yutani to capture the Aliens. The xenomorphs have some impressive abilities, but mind control isn't one of them. :P
Sean Connery as Gandalf: "You Shall Not PASHHH!!!"
I love how the discussions of games like Alien vs. Predator can devolve into a discussion about the intricacies of WaWa.
Michael Rodrigues marijuana’s a hell of a drug
Alien Isolation is in my opinion the essential Alien game. The acting, the suspense, and the level of detail in the Alien universe is fantastic. Definitely recommend it
A massievly heartwarming episode. Loved how AVP discussion slowly transcended into something much bigger, like a whole pop culture lecture, only condensed in awesomeness and served steaming hot.

tu-st me three. 3 years ago myself
Ha ha I'm living a shit life with ya. Lol
Screaming inside my head every time you guys got the infinite ammo power up (counter appears over character) and you didn't use your guns or plasma casters
it kills me,they never pay any attention
Might want to lay off the TH-cam for a while, flakes.
James and Mike seem to rather talk about random stuff in these videos instead of actually playing the games.
Mike and Ryan is a better combination because Ryan at least wants to play and show the games.

@KronnangDunn HALLELUJAH! LOL! Another who thinks as I do!!!! Yeah - They should have done the Dark Horse Comics beyond doubt!
LOL That would be CONTRA: THE MOVIE...
The problem with AVP was low budget and PG-13
Capcom's best beat-em-up arcade games long ago. It was cool.
Still one of the best beat 'em ups ever made. I've been a fan of it since the 90's :)
Almost "James & Mike Sundays Night"
You know what? In some classical arcade games, a unit digit of the total score represents how many times the player continued after dying. This means James spent 16 quarters to beat this game, and Mike did 14 (9+5) quarters.
"Predators" was underrated in my opinion. It's definitely a fun movie to watch.

Wait that Pee-wee was spot on
I thought they said Pewdiepie, lol.
when i was about 12 or so (32 now), i went with my stepdad on a bizness trip to Kansas city. i stayed in a really nice hotel while my stepdad was out doing whatever. this hotel had a little arcade area in the rec room. this Alien vs Predator game was in there, and i sat and played this game for HOURS and for DAYS. no telling how many quarters i pumped into that thing. it was fucking mind blowing gameplay for me at the time. this video brings back a lot of nostalgia. thanks AVGN.

i saw predators at the cinema and i keep forgetting it exists thats how memorable it is.
Agreed. I remember thinking it was good when I saw it tho.
You should read some of the Alien books, they are amazing, especially "The Rage Wars"!
They should put Alien, Predator, Terminator and Robocop in one battle movie. I guess that doesn't make sense but it would be cool.
The deal with the jekyll and hyde endings, as I understand it. Once youre on the last level, I believe the whole hyde getting farther than jekyll mechanic is over and hyde has to get farther than jekyll. This is where you have to employ some strategy because you need to drop your psyche meter and not your health. Best way i know to do this is to get hit by the singing ladys notes or you have to be just inside the bomb blast radius where you take little damage.

all time favorite beat em up... challenging but fair, long but not too repetetive, great graphics and control, characters play differently, A+
Oddly enough, this was initially supposed to be based on an AvP script James Cameron worked on. When it fell through they just kept going and released this game as a standalone.
Mike pronounces the word manure weird. "ma nor"!? Its "ma newer" oh forget it
I spent a minute trying to figure out why the fuck he was talking about menorahs before I realized what he was actually saying. XD
Actually I would disagree, it is to my understanding that words ending in the letters u,r,e have a unique "yur" sound phonetically.
n1ckjitsu toe-may-toe/toe-matt-toe. stoopid/stewpid.
n1ckjitsu it's ma-noo-a
It's not "ma newer" you big posh turd. It's 'man your.'
AvP was about young Predators having to "prove their worth" so to speak by hunting the Xenomorphs. The Predators had set up a controlled hunting ground in Antartica with a captured Queen producing aliens to be hunted. HUmans found the hunting ground at the same time 3 young Predators are sent to prove themselves.
Somebody needs to make timestamps of everytime James says "uh-huh" 😂 Just messing with you guys, thanks for the great content!
James and Mike Very Very Early Mondays
cody8804
verily
Even when you posted your message, which is 10 hours ago, its been 10am in place where do i live. Not so early, i called it a day.
Sure, but the video and it's makers were in the USA. So *somebody* was uploading this video in the dead of night.
Oh, definitely. Some people are just meant to be nocturnal. There's even evidence that "night-owl" is a genetic trait.
Someone's gotta do it.
Lime Simple ok well I was going by the same time that I assume mike uploaded the video which was around 1 am. I believe I am in the same time zone as him
You are forgetting about when they call Marty a Chicken 🐔 to taunt him, that is also a recurring joke in the three BTTF movies.
or yellow
or he ain't got no scroats
The sad/crazy part is the premise of the arcade game was originally how the movie was meant to turn out. Those talks were like 10-15 years prior to AVP before was even thought of.
I think the Aliens arcade Mike was referring to was an on-rails shooter.
RetroHabit82 Konami did an adaptation of Aliens where you play as Hicks or Ripley that might be what they're talking about.
I played this game ONCE in the arcade, and people called me nuts when I said there was a Capcom Alien/Predator game with a girl that looked like Chun-Li. Never saw it again until now. Thank you for proving to me that I didn't make it up. I also vaguely remember that it was supposed to come onto a Sega console, maybe 32X or Saturn. The magazine said to use the girl because she was the best.
awesome! just what I needed, a new episode of James & Mike Mondays!
This alongside Cadillac and dinosaurs are the best beat em up of all times
James's Nicholson impression is so well done it actually sounds creepy to imagine the Nerd was being possessed by the spirit of Jack's soul.
It didn't remind me of Nicholson. Not at all. LOL.
Sean Connery was also offered the role of Morpheus from The Matrix around the same time Lord Of The Rings was being filmed and he didn't understand that script, either. Those two film series making tons of money and being critically praised caused him to realize he doesn't understand youth anymore.
I love James, but that was the worst Jack Nicholson impression ever haha! :) Good to see them chatting about the two best movies of all time - Alien and Aliens! Awesome! :)
Konvex it was kinda Jack Nicholson mixed with some Rick Moranis. 😂
I don't think either of them realizes that the male character is Arnold from Predator.
Arnold is not only the 80s greatest action movie but also the greatest action star period. For a bunch of reasons I don't think we'll ever see that topped.
Predators was a fantastic film. Literally watched it last night.
Mike Predators was a great movie imo. Check it out.
I actually grew up in Tokyo and played this game a lot in the early-mid 90s in the arcade, when I was in elementary school. This and an awesome WWF (now WWE) tag-team arcade game with the 80s stars. The end boss was the Legion of Doom. It was so good.
When the bloody hell are they going to release this on home consoles? I would put down serious money to have an online co-op version of this on Switch, Steam, or anything else.
Definitely my all-time favorite beat-em-up arcade game. Thanks for doing this one, guys!
still better than the movie
hey guys, fun fact, the dude with the power arm in this game is Major Alan "Dutch" Schafer, the same Dutch from the original Predator movie, aka Arnold's character.
About god damn time you played this.
This is the best non dungeons n dragons beatemup Capcom has ever made. The combat is waaay deeper than Mike and James were able to show because they did less than half of the move sets of all the characters.
This game is a 110% better movie then Ridley's prequel trilogy, and everything after Predator 2 and Aliens. One of those games that is just better then the reboot movies. Like Ghostbuster 2009 and Alien:Isolation. One of those things where the game came out and just was a better adaption. Also... SF2 and MK... possibly better then the live movies imho.
I loved the Rebellion AvP game, and its Monolith sequel, but the arcade version is one I never got to play. Just want to say I appreciate you guys going back and giving us a good look at it.
I don't remember a menora joke in BTTF
My thought exactly
Honestly, I loved The Leauge Of Extraordinary Gentleman. It had all of my favorite book series thrown into one movie. I thought it was very well done.
Predator concrete jungle ps2
Better on Xbox
Loved this game as a kid. The best AvP game ever (arcade only of course)
Dungeons and dragons arcade next plz
I think they did shadows over mystara already
You guys have a lot of energy and enthusiasm. Love it. You guys are awesome. 😀😀😀
James and mike Monday's, the best show on youtube
Arnold’s character in Predator is named Major Dutch Schaefer. That’s him in the game with the huge gun arm that James is controlling.
James should shave his head and grow a beard, that'd look cool.
Angry hipster video game nerd doesn't have the same ring to it.
Agreed.
Love this game. One of the best CSPS games ever. Played through it a few months ago.
The chest busters.....you did not noticed them 3 levels ago?
And "Predators" by the way is a love letter from by Robert Rodriguez. So much references and stuff to the original movie.
Hey Make and James, your gameplay is like a crossover between Highlander and Alien Vs Predator.
Avp movies where definitely a disappointment but they are watchable. As far as the actual alien movies in order of best to worst I would say aliens, alien, Prometheus, covenant, resurrection, alien 3.
swap aliens with alien and resurrection with three and thats me
The stoppage for Wawa talk was amazing. Pity those without a Wawa.
Final Fight, AvP edition.
I really liked the movie "Predators" and was sad it was barely mentioned. I thought it was a true return to form for once. I realize that it took heavily from the original Predator movie but People love Overwatch and it copied from Team Fortress without much criticizing.
That sounded nothing like Jack Nicholson, sorry
jzornthgrt haha yeah totally
I've played this on the actual arcade cabinet and I borrowed the Capcom CPS2 motherboard along with the game off a friend of my dads. It's such an underrated beat em up game. I don't know why they didn't release it at all on a home console, I figure it probably would have had a good port on the Sega Saturn since it was during that era the game came out and the Saturn was really good with 2d graphics.
I thought it was ET versus Michael Jackson.
Nicklaus Books you need a medal
Aliens Infestation and AVP 2011 are both amazing games.
*YOU DON'T KNOW WHY YOU'RE FIGHTING HUMAN SOLDIERS ???*
You guys were talking about food so much - you were not paying attention to the story.
I'll give you a hint ...
*WEYLAND.* You figure out the rest.
At this point, I watch these videos based on what game they are playing to see what comes up about that topic . It's great.
The gameplay is a bonus.
Since it feels kinda like we are there with them
Mike has beautiful teeth
+efwefwef a lovely backside
Sora Song LOL he has that whole Michael Cera skinny white guy huge shlong thing going on.
You think Sally Kendall?
Actually from what I found out, Sean Connery's last film is a Scottish cgi animated film called "Sir Billi". It looks pretty bad lol
please you two play ninja baseball batman
One of the best Beat 'em Ups of all time! We'll have to do that one someday. Thanks for watching -Mike
Cinemassacre didn't y'all play it in that giant arcade or am I remembering wrong and thanks for making me want homestyle chicken noddle I convince myself all these years that they ran out every time I went in not daring to ask is it was discontinued :( you killed my illusion lol
The guy from AvP is an ANCESTOR of the guy who made the androids from Alien, and not a DESCENDANT.
Everyone hates on Resurrection, but I believe it was at least better than Alien 3.
JubJub444 no it wasn't
um no its better
Ok...having the main characters from the 2nd movie being killed off right away...yea great plot
1 alien thats poorly put into the movie vs multiple aliens...yea i think resurrection is better.
Aliens 4 was basically trying to reboot the series, which had essentially fallen into a cinematic hole in 1991. In that sense, it can be an entertaining film. Aliens 3 was trying to deep and philosophical (in the original conception). Aliens 3 did better in Europe, then in the US
I own just about all the Alien games released. So far, I'm missing Alien (Atari 2600), the US version of Aliens for home computers (there was a completely different UK game), Aliens: Thanatos Encounter for GBC, Alien 3 for Game Boy, and Alien vs Predator for Gameboy - plus the various arcade games and mobile phone java games. Everything else, I have.
I disagree that the only movies vital to the series are Alien and Aliens though. Alien 3 was a beautiful, brilliantly layered film. The fact it's even halfway watchable, despite all the problems it had in development and even during shooting is testament to the skill of the cast and crew. Alien Resurrection also has it's merits. That's one of the key strengths of the series - that it's flexible to be able to offer different styles of movies and still work.
The "baby" Alien of Alien 4 was the worst thing this franchise has ever done.
RedVIII seriously?
Remember those Aliens books? Steven Perry wrote an amazing series of books. I wish someone would make those into movies.
I prefer The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen over the Lord Of The Rings films.
Ricky van der Ham no.
It's so cool that you guys (especially Mike) often respond to comments, that makes the channel even better:)
While neither Alien vs Predator movie is good, neither are the worst thing ever (ESPECIALLY AVP Requiem). People really blew it out of proportion. Personally, I like AVP Requiem a little more b/c it had more of the Alien and Predator fighting than the first AVP.
The major issue I had with AVP Requiem was the horrible lighting in many scenes where you couldn't see what the hell was going on. What kills me is that those scenes were lit very well in the trailers but not the finished product. Must have been some post production butchering at that rate.
I can actually tell what's going on, but if someone can't, I totally understand. It was too dark.
I had to turn up the contrast on my TV just to see anything half the time. It was really frustrating.
I not really sure, but I get the idea of what is happening MOST of the time. There are some parts where even I can't tell what's going on. It is horribly lit but some of the editing was similar to Aliens. That movie didn't really have many clear shots of the Aliens. Also, I guess I just see this movie as an improvement over the shakey cam, jump cuts in today's movies. But I get if someone can't tell what's going on. But I can for some reason.
"I get the idea of what is happening MOST of the time" is NOT a line that should be used when you refer to a MOVIE though.
AvP Requiem is a bad movie, feels pretty dull and it being extremely dark most of the time for no real reason just made it feel like they didn't have the money to show the monsters.
I actually really like the girl best of all. She has so many "secret" moves, more than any other character. She's got a Hadoken, a slide-kick, a Chun Li-style aerial head stomp, a lunging stab with her sword, and an uppercut kick kinda like Cammy's Cannon Spike.
Sometimes I put my phone down and just listen to these videos while I'm doing dishes. It's so dumb to listen to people talk about nonsense like Wawa soups and pizza, but I love it so much. You guys really get on some random rants that are pretty fun.
For all of our amusement, you guys should play Alien vs Predator for the SNES. That one was a real gem.
