Aliens: Colonial Marines gets difficulty adjustment and AI improvements

A new patch has been released for Aliens: Colonial Marines that, amongst other things, adjusts the easiest difficulty setting.

For the two people that may want still want to play the game, the easiest difficulty setting has been tweaked and adjusted and (apparently) been made easier.

So, that’s nice…

Even with all the patches the game still sucks.

[thezeldadoth]

really so you've played it since the patch?

[nick309]

Least one before this.

[Einhert]

Won't save you now pitchford

[stanr]

It's still a crappy game

[SaffronCurse]

Game of the year baby!

[Bonerboy]

Cant polish a turd.

I wonder how many people are stupid enough to continue to buy more Gearbox games?

[V0LT]

Actually you can... :P

Nice! I stand corrected good sir or madame.

Ok,Ok, how about this then...

"Can't trust a Pitchford"

[thezeldadoth]

socom confrontation went from crap to amazing within a couple months

i'm not defending the game, i don't care for it, just giving an example of a bad game that turned good.

[SolidDuck]

That's true, confrontation did. Confrontation was even more of a mess on a tech side than aliens. But aliens core content was a disappointment, fixing ai and stuff won't change that. The fact is based off the alien movies a great game could be made. Take the alien lore and mix it with original dead space for example. People thought this was game was going to be much more than it was, a patch won't fix that.

[MadMen]

Im still waiting for the "ALL NEW GAME" Update:

When will we see that?

[Bonerboy]

Yeah...It's $69.99, brought to you by gearbox

[Ashunderfire86]

They should of made this game, like the early E3 demo footage. Current gen and PCs can handle the early E3 footage of this game. Too late Pitchford!

[mixelon]

Its nice theyre patching it so much post launch.. Wouldnt have been necessary if theyd finished it in the first place though.

Itd be funny if the ai and other shortfalls were resolved this late.. So stupid.. Whos going to appreciate it? the reviews are done, the sales are done. All it can mean is when people pick it up for next to nothing in a few years theyll wonder why the reviews were so harsh. XD

[_QQ_]

Sometimes it is best to just let go.

[MadMen]

of gearbox.

Agree

[BABY-JEDI]

Why do they bother? Why couldn't Gearbox just do their job in the first place (promises included) & just do the game that they promised us all?

[Bonerboy]

Pretty much everything they touch turns to pooh. And when fans are pissed, Gearbox always points their poop covered finger of blame at someone or something else. "well its not our fault because...." Oh ok, you know what? Fuck you grearbox.
I hear they are taking on some old space game franchise...that will turn to sh*t as well.
They cant come up with anything original by themselves...even borderlands is a direct rip off of a jap anime...and was credit given where it was due? Of course it wasnt. Pathetic. These guys are utter shit on every level.

Pitchford is a SUPREME F-ing douche. Right up there with Sirgei Titov from the warZ fiasco(s).

When will people learn? Fool born every minute i suppose.

[0pie]

gearbox has proven they are a bunch of liars and traitor. I dont think patches could resolve that.
