Uh oh, it looks like Gearbox really is to blame.

Gearbox: Uummmmmmm.... it wasn't us who made it??? :-) :-) :-)
Sega:............... uh, yes you did.
Gearbox: FUUUUUUUUU-

This is utterly hilarious. Gearbox has gotten so used to passing the blame whenever they screw up (which is worryingly regular) but this time the publisher has actually stepped in to set the record straight.

Poor Randy! Any minute now he's going to revert to calling his detractors terrorists again...

What a loser.

ThanatosDMC4084d ago

Pitchford kept hyping the hell out of this game too. I mean, Zombie Aliens... really???

Someone should sue those guys... cynics

This is such a shame. I stayed away from all sorts of previews for this game but when I started seeing videos for myself close to its launch I was shocked at how average it looked. Now with all these reviews coming out I dont think ill even bother getting this.

Burackus4084d ago

dont, i did and it sux bad

fossilfern4083d ago

yeah saw it at a friends house and it was awful. What a waste of time and this is considered cannon? Im sure Fox are regretting that decision or whoever authorised this to be cannon.

Dms20124085d ago

Its unforgivable that the license has been so grossly mishandled. I sadly bought intothe hype and now I am just disappointed.

john24085d ago

I still remember the first CG screenshots that were released when Aliens: Colonial Marines was announced. They looked so awesome. Too bad we got this game instead of what we were hoping back in the days

Nevers0ft4085d ago

Agreed! I had two console purchases planned for the next 4-or-so weeks: Rayman Legends and Aliens Colonial Marines... The first is delayed to the point that I won't give a rats ass when it releases and the second one is stillborn.

Oh well, at least my other hobbies wont let me down. I absolutely LOVE gin and hookers \o/

I thank you......Said it a million times before Gearbox are shit & complete bellends but no one listens!

Too many games aren't given a second shot. We at VGU choose which games we would love to see receive a sequel.

The Saboteur - criminally underrated and a fantastic mechanic of bringing colour back to Nazi-occupied Paris.

The article lists Bulletstorm, Sleeping Dogs, and Aliens: Colonial Marines.

Can't argue with any of those really, but I would add Resident Evil Operation Racoon City and Metal Gear Survive to that list. Both terrible games from good franchises.

Bulletstorm, I actually liked the gameplay but the atrocious writing and characters made me despise the game by the end of it.

I still play AvP on PS3 to this day. That game had fun multiplayer too.
