That was hysterical. I just laughed my ass off and scared my cat.

Well, if you've played the game long enough, and have spent much time on the site, reading blogs, vids from way back to now etc, he's been known to come-off in such a manner. He just has that "air" about him; fine line between confidence and arrogance. He's seemed to tone that down in recent...

So... there are regions that are smaller that cant hold 16 cities, yet city size is still only 2kmx2km... that just seems pointless to me, from a multitude of perspectives. But, it is what it is, I guess.

I know, but with as adamant as he's been regarding Alien, I was hoping he wasn't full of shit as he was with DNF, which was so transparent it was laughable. He certainly has a knack for putting up a front and faking his passion and respect for shit. It was bound to happen, wasn't it...

Honestly, if people expressed themselves in an angry but intelligent manner, I'd say that, still, it's the "white knights defending bad games" who are the worse of the two, as being an apologist for something that's truly sub-par and would just waste the money and time of the consumer is the...

Been wondering that myself, since there's still been no release date or even a time frame given at this point that seems definitive. I'm not sure which I'd prefer, honestly. I just want to see what he can, or is willing, to really do to turn the mod into something more outstanding. I still...

This might be "wishful thinking", but... Each region is supposed to hold 16 cities. However, there seem to be different numbers that signify what seems like "main areas" of the region. http://www.ign.com/wikis/simcity/Regions I don't suppose that would mean (I'm already laughing in my...

Yeah, you mean zombies that actually look more "realistic"... that's a big thing for me as well. I believe they're re-skinning the zombies and that was supposedly a big focus, so hopefully they follow-through on that. +1 to that... the guy seems like a competent coder (though some would...

She's probably in the process of hurling herself out of an airlock as we speak, lol. Or stroking the head of a sad, distraught Alien, telling it over and over, "It'll be alright. Some day, someone will get it right", lol.

No, polonyc2 is right, it almost seems like you really do refuse to accept reality. How many times must it be said that no one was "trolling"? When you watch hours of video on a game where you can clearly see with your own eyes the quality of a game, you don't need a review to tell you it's...

QFT. Well said.

I never tried it, because it actually seemed to have a lot of imbalance between the three different campaigns, and the gameplay was said to be "meh". Is the Alien movement/animation etc actually decent enough to warrant buying it? I don't even think people are still playing the MP, are they...

Actually, no it's not. You need to be broader-minded and understand there are multiple interpretations, all of which depends on where someone is coming from. Be willing to accept something for what it has to offer, even if it's sub-par, can by done by those who simply want to get as much...

No problem, my pleasure. His assumptions were completely outside the scope of the reality of the point you were getting across, and I also happen to agree with you said.

I said it was a ridiculous boss fight, I didn't it was difficult or easy, just pointless. Then, as you said, the disappointment of the ending after engaging in some pointless boss battle.

Well, DE:HR was actually a mix of both. Right near the end, was that horrid, ridiculous "boss" fight, but at the very end, was the bad "make a choice and read what happens" situation. ^This. It depends on the style and arc of a game, though I'm not into the "giant boss battle" thing either...

I never said you had accused me of being such things directly, but certain things seemed rather strongly insinuated through certain statements. I wasn't "reviewing" the game either, simply discussing the blatantly obvious problems you could see even from simply watching videos of it. But...

Thank you. @Colonel Sanders: Guess I'm not just being "stubborn" or "trolling", eh? Don't make it out to be as if I'm just being ignorant or stubborn. What the hell is "people like me"? Don't make personal judgments, man. You don't know me, nor have I displayed any ignorant behavior, or...

Well, just don't put me in the spotlight, as I don't want to be pegged as some "anti-Alien troll", lol. But I would suggest trying to get a refund. If you're not sure why I'm so adamant in trying to save you the money and waste of time, watch that guy's vids. I didn't make that game, but you...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwYzEc-1i30&list=UUsq1RneyLJf3DzN9qNSiZ1g&index=1 'Nough said. He covers well what you can already see in his vids as it is. Hope I get pre-order refunded before it releases. I'm not trolling nor being hypocritical. But seriously disappointed.

Unfortunately, from both the perspectives of the Aliens universe and my/our wallet, it is exactly that. As I am, which is actually an egregious understatement, but... Then you're/we're in for a serious disappointment, my friend. If you don't care about spoilers, or want to save yourself the...

Some vids are actually only twenty minutes, so yeah... and aside from being absurdly short, it's just so bad in so many ways, I don't even know what the fuck hit me earlier today the way it did that made me decide to buy it, after purposely staying away from it. But, I guess I'm going to have to...

Finding new vids popping up on of the singleplayer. All the bad aspects of the the game in terms of visuals, some level design, textures, animations and gameplay that have been mentioned in this thread are rather prominent. Here's vids of the entire game by one guy of the single player...

Exactly. It [regions] doesn't "make up" for it, not for me personally, anyway. I really do not want several smaller cities in the same region, nor do I care about other people's regions, because it's not a multiplayer game, nor will I play it as one. But, we'll see just how "big" cities...

Ha ha. Yeah, I know what you're saying. I've done/had that same experience as well and it's been the same situation with A:CM, especially given how personal the Alien universe it to me. So, hoping for a good surprise and just said "fuck it", and grabbed a copy for my self and my wife just...

No, he's not "OK" with it... which he makes clear in what he's saying. He's just willing to "settle", in other words, just to have at least somewhat of a good experience, and appreciate it for what ever it has to offer. I don't believe we should have to "settle" for anything, there's just no...

Of course, that's always my attitude, though this looked to be complete shit at first. After watching the two vids on that channel, it looks quite a bit better than even the official footage, which has changed my mind to give this a chance. I'm baffled that this quality of video and gameplay...

I agree with your sentiments... need to live in the moment, enjoy shit while you have it/it's there and you can get something from it in life. However, the only problem I have with that mentality is being given things that are sub-par and having to "settle" for something that could have been...

Well, oddly, it looks far better than any of the official footage or previews by big publications such as IGN. Visually, it looks far better than other vids, though there's definitely still some behind-the-times textures and design, and everything seems a little fat and slightly clunky...

How does it mean it's out the window? I'm actually asking, not being sarcastic. Didn't they state clearly that modding tools were going to be released? Of course, even if they do, how much people will be able to mod I'm sure is nowhere near previous iterations of the series. Also, it...

No, but something such as zombie animations/models would be, some of the new interfaces etc. You cant tell me at this point there's not that much to show, given the standalone is already past it's release point, but is coming soon. Again, who's "sweating"? I'm not, though if I was, at least...

Only just came across it today through an article on RPS about the alpha now being available, but there's actually a "pay to play" version of the alpha in order to get more of the city or some such shit. Ended up at the website, watched the video, and laughed my ass off. I would actually play...

Exactly, I'm also in complete agreement, and he's (v0rtic3s) accurate in the criticisms he's made, with which I agree. The lack of any tension or atmosphere, that very tension/release arc you're talking about, only worsens the clearly low production value of the game, as do the animations and...

No, I completely agree with you one that one, definitely... but that wasn't really my point. New clothing is fine, it's just not really that big a deal that we waited all this time, with all the promises made of what's supposedly being done, and the majority of what we saw was some guy on the...

;) Well, you know... it could be helpful to have those sexy, nut-crushing running shorts on when escaping zombies who run at a realistic 800 miles per hour, twitching like they're hopped-up on meth. Because none of that needs fixing, so why showcase it? It's all just part of DayZ's charm.

lol! "Devry Students project"... classic.

That's the problem though. Rocket has touted on and on about changes to the interface... the UI, inventory etc but has shown nothing except for the main menu for choosing servers, your character, visual settings etc. That actually looked decent from what was shown, but why is he not showing...

Anyone seen this? What is this... like an ultra-violent, paper version of SimCity? Watch what happens at 25sec in the vid: http://wildfireworlds.com. I actually laughed out loud.

More than likely, as happens far too often. People need to really read and understand where people are coming from before they respond.

Second statement would be correct. Fire/ice arrow are not spells, it's just elemental, so the "+elemental damage from weapons" is what you want for melee weapons with elemental dmg.
