Since I'm still in a nice hangover from a night of Co-op playthroughs with one of my friends..
I dunno with the rest of the world but have some of you thought that people were too cruel with Aliens: Colonial Marines? I get that it doesn't look nowhere as it was when it was shown in several pre-launch previews, and the final game's aliens act very much like they were assets that came from the 2000's or even the 90's, and playing the game alone is a complete pain in the ass with the AI controlled teammates. But I think the game isn't really that bad especially when there it exists moments of brilliance in some of the levels (The Raven, dear lord) and the player and weapon customizations (as well as being able to bring an entire loadout during the campaign) are definitely the strong points of the game.
I was still quiet aware of the game being too easy and forgiving on base difficulty (Soldier) so we played it on Hardened (or this game's version of Ultra-violence) difficulty even for the blind and first time playthrough. We could have played the game on Ultimate Badass (Nightmare) difficulty but considering that last weekend was our first foray, we wanted to play a little more reckless and offensive.
My friend (who i played ACM Co-Op with, for a night of fun) pretty much said that it was fun, though he does agree that he would not have played the game alone. Co-op is where this game shines he said.
Hmmm a game that was horribly reviewed, but when I actually played it, it was fun and had some strong points.. Hmmm Missed opportunity anyone? ;)
Yeah confession, i remember talking about how much of a sh*tfest ACM was, but after having played it for a whole night, i think I've forgiven the game now. ACM you's okay.
UPDATE: O'Neal in the PC version is still a piece of sh*t AI but is far more competent in the Peasant i mean Console versions of ACM.
