Aliens: Colonial Marines receives update across platforms, probably too late

I'm a college student with a huge passion for gaming; horror being my favorite genre. I like to write about games in my spare time. When I'm not writing, I'm playing or talking about them. Hopefully this continues into what ever future employment I find myself in.

Gearbox Software’s Aliens: Colonial Marines released today to a massive shit storm of negative reviews and comments. Currently holding a 45/100 on Metacritic, Colonial Marines is no doubt going to go down in history as one of 2013′s biggest gaming disappointments. In development for about seven years, you would think that the game would at least be without glitches and bugs, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Add on top of that a terrible plot and writing, and you’ve got yet another Duke Nukem Forever–in development for several years only to release as a mess.

Welp, despite the rush of negative press today, Gearbox has released patches for each platform the game released on. The PlayStation 3, PC, and Xbox 360 versions of the game have received some fixes. Something tells me that it’s a little too late to fix this.

    Get all the customization in Colonial Marines, and shove it into the new AvP game. This game got the customization down right.

    I bought the 99 dollar version, told my wife not to expect me to do much for the next few days… and so far have been incredibly disappointed. The ascetics are great… and that’s about it. Stilted action, choppy graphics, and emotionless gameplay. The worst is when I got in the loader and killed a large Xeno by hitting it over and over again. No strategy or fun. The multiplayer is too hectic to be any fun. No strategy is involved there either. You just hope you hit your target, die, re-spawn, and continue. I hope something gets updated quickly because they released an unfinished experience.

      Play more. You’ll get the hang of it. There’s plenty of strategy, trust me.

        Don’t worry, I’ll keep playing. Good to hear that there is some strategy to be found!

    Seriously I’m tired of hearing people about mixing Aliens with or to AVP! The Alien series strictly needs to stay Alien. AVP was cool just for the battles and the sequel was by far retarded. but the idea is false. The game wasn’t that great. i was so looking forward to trying this game after growing with the Alien series for so long and hoped it would have been created with more care.
