GR: "We've all heard the news that Aliens: Colonials Marines is bad, but how bad is it?
Meh. It's not that bad.
Aliens: Colonial Marines is a mix-mash of great design work and poor implementation. It's a Frankenstein of design decisions that are diametrically wonderfully planned out and carefully crafted while making no lick of sense to even the most oblivious layman. It certainly never rises to the height of Gearbox head-Randy Pitchford's demo video from 2011. So what is it?"
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.
Player 2 takes some quiet time to look back at some of the most hyped failures of the past 10 years.
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.
Thanks to a bustling mod community on Steam, Gearbox's Aliens: Colonial Marines actually has a stellar multiplayer experience to offer these days.
