This to me is the disaster that became Duke Nuke Em Forever and coming from the same developer then the writing is on the wall.

I never imagined the same developer could fail so spectacularly for the second time.

Yeah, you're right. SEGA do have a bit of a track record for pulling stunts like this dross. Very poor customer relations. Hopefully people will be wise enough to have steered clear in the main. Gearbox are going to have to stop making so many turkeys for sure: Borderlands and Brothers in Arms series were much better examples of what they can do. Somebody got a big load of cash for this Aliens tie in though not the developer by the looks of things.

Lets just hope Crysis 3 next week lives up to higher expectations,saying that it does look very similar to crysis 2 and I'm not sold on the multiplayer beta i played but then again i buy these games for single player only basically.

I might get metal gear rising as well next week for a bit of gaming relief after the dross start to 2013 Game wise has been something of a let down so far.

It seems their is more to the development of Aliens Colonial Marines as a sega employee went on Reddit- it did get pulled but the conversation was saved.

His point was that gearbox used the funding for Aliens from Sega to help finance Borderlands which they then shipped and started on the sequal after the success of the first.
In this time they outsourced the devlopment of Aliens CM to the other studio, then got the game back and basically fixed the issues that would stop players completing the game.

So if this is true then the fault lies between Gearbox and Sega, the developer not focusing the time and resources correctly on the product and Sega for failing to address the game issues and fix it before release.

Could possibly see Sega sue Gearbox but it all depends if the above is truth or just rumour, have to wait and see how it develops but goes some way to explain the issues with the game.

Down to 26 quid already. I'm definitely going to pick if up when it drops below 20. It'll be worth that for Alien horde mode to be fair.

No It wont its a pile of junk mate and don't get tempted.

its not worth £4.99 nevermind £20.........If you want Horde mode then at present only one game shines and thats Gears 3 and the soon to be Gears 4.

But you haven't got a xbox 360........NAR NAR NA NAR NAH .........OOOUUSSSHHHHHH

It's worth more than that as a creepy coaster for me coco old man .....OUUUUUUSHH

Their are PC mods out that vastly improve the graphics, just a shame they cant improve the AI, given enough time they proably could fix the game.

Once it drops to a low enough price it will be worth a punt to spend a few hours smashing Aliens, in horde type mode or similar. A trip to the cinema is probably ten quid an hour and we'd happily risk that sort of money and end up being disappointed, so what the heck?

Yeah when i have finished at the pick en mix which normally costs about £17.99 per quarter........Hey girlfriend stick to the Flying Saucers and not the fudge and the Banana sweets.......

Think of the weight will ya

Then as i proceed to the hot dog checkout as i like a couple of those and a ten gallon drum of watered down coke and a super duper cartoon of sweet pop corn im nearing £50 with the admission .

And thats OAP rates
