You have some pretty low standards.

so essentially what you are saying is

"buh buh buh someone's enjoying something that other people said they shouldn't be, they must be an idiot as i'd better not try the game for myself, oh no darez too much at steak"

Some people just don't like that people enjoy a game in spite of the reviews

Can't say I'm surprised. I had seen people hyping this game over the past few weeks and was watching trailers/interviews and it looks very mediocre and the weapon sounds and animations are terrible.

yeah, 3 missions in, its great so far, the sounds is spot on, i play it loud on my turtle beach's pulse rifle sound ace. really really enjoying it so far, i guess the game must turn crap at some point judging from the reviews, but so far its exactly what i was looking for in an aliens colonial marines game.

Erm....Maybe i'll pick it up. Waiting for joystiqs review.

Lol hermits talking to people about having poor standards. You mofos are literally at the bottom of the barrel. You don't know what good gameplay mechanics are, you have no clue. Even if you do see them you pass on them like you do soap.

Well, I have it. Managed to only pay 24 dollars in real monies for the PS3 version of the game. I wanted the PC version, but all of my friends who are getting it are getting it on the PS3, so I figure if I'm going to suffer, better to suffer with friends.

Either way, if I hate it enough I can trade it in and break even.

It's clearly a conspiracy. Something big is about to happen and we don't realize it yet

-

I'm surprised this game got a 4.5. I wasn't expecting anything spectacular, but nothing this low. Seems a bit unfair. Scores like that should be reserved for broken, buggy, and hardly playable games. Generally, reviewer opinions don't sway me, so I'll see for myself in the future.

The score is only a little surprising. It's a pretty big name title and a pretty poor score. Too Human > This. Remember all that? Good times...

Single player was NOT outsourced to TimeGate. Gearbox just made a crappy game in the end.

The guy reviewing it isn't good with reviews.  Not saying the score is deserved, but he gave RE6 a 4/10 which is silly.  And yes I do believe I could do a better job when he gives bland shooter like halo 4 a 9/10.

Man I really was not expecring score to be THIS low. The lowest I thought this game would get was 6. I didn't expect this game would be completly amazing or anything but man this is bad. How does Gearbox go from making Brothers in Arms and Borderlands to this crap?

Multiplayer is really fun, especially escape mode. In fact, if it weren't for the glitches that randomly crop up and dampen the experience I'd recommend it just on the strength of the MP if you can find it below full price. However, it's hard to recommend this game to anyone other than those who really, really want it. And they are probably already getting it. Otherwise, wait for a big price drop.

Campaign is okay so far. Aliens are hit or miss as enemies. When they work, they are impressive and fun to fight, when they don't, and boy do they not sometimes, they are hilariously bad. They feel threatening when they overrun you. They are much, much more threatening when humans are controlling them in versus.

So Aliens fans, would this be the only good Aliens game in a while?

Aliens Infestation

It's a Gearbox/Wayforward developed game.

It's actually not all that uncommon.
