Absolute proof people have been lieing about game bugs and game play..

I said the EXACT same thing on the forum when this happened and I got trolled to death, from raving lunatics screaming like 8 year olds, who wanted candy..
I proved that people are lieing and even now all they say is "Oh yea but there aren't any other lies"
Come on.. Seriously?
Who is stupid enough to believe after seeing this, that there are no more lies?
Is anyone that dumb?
People are being duped. Likely by people who have been paid off to bash this game thoroughly.. They seem to be doing an excellent job..
But yea, videos speak louder than words.. Make up your own minds people.. ACM is a good game..
maybe not a GOTY game. But it is good and it is a lot of fun..
It is premium price worthy imho..
No matter what anyone says in defense of this game, there are some key issues about the sp that are unacceptable IMO.
1. Graphics that are considerably dumbed down from what the demo showed, such as no dynamic lighting, dumbed down particle effects, physics such as glass cracking missing, etc. Even map layouts are different.
2. Only 3 of the 11 levels are alien specific AI wise, with 3 merc only and the rest mixed.
3. It took 7 yrs to make yet the campaign is only 6 hrs long.
4. It plays like a corridor shooter vs survival horror, with lots of repetitious buildings and very linear pathways even outdoors.
5. Ammo is only seemingly sparse, because you can just use the weapon wheel to fill up by switching weapons.
6. Voice acting is terrible, even from the star characters like Michael Biehn
7. Dialogue is terrible.
8. AI is terrible
It all seems to add up to charging full price for a value game, though I hear some have already dropped it to $30 due to poor reception. No, I don't think this one can be blamed on unfair criticism. Look at Angry Joe's video review of it. He points out several things about the sp where the customers were lied to pre launch, and that is egg on the face of the devs and pubs, not the critics.
1. Graphics look nice and they are well within the acceptable range. You saw a demo.. No game is ever exactly like the demo.. Unfortunate but true..
2. So they promised you a game with only Aliens to fight? Where is that in writing? It never happened and you expecting the game to be EXACTLY what you want is unrealistic..
3. It took 7 yrs because AVP came out at the same time and the game changed hands.
We got lucky to see it at all..
4. It plays like all other video games that every COD and L4D fan enjoys.. It is a shooter..
Multiplayer opens up maps more but how often were you NOT in enclosed spaces in the Aliens movie? You were always in tight places.. Be happy they didn't cram you in a vent for half the story..
5. Ammo is ammo... I have no idea what your gripe is.. You get ammo, you shoot gun, same as any other game with guns..
This isn't Resident evil 1 where you can try to save ammo and only have one gun..
I like my guns and I worked hard to unlock the dang things..
Maybe make ammo a bit more sparse but you wouldn't even be thinking about that, if you played BA mode.
All the ammo in the world doesn't mean a thing, if you can't keep it together..
6. Voice acting is acceptable but sub par.. But every game with crappy story and voice "IE COD" gets peoples seal of approval?
I call BS..
7. Dialogue is the same as what you said above.. you say it twice to make it seem like there is more wrong with the game.
8. AI is perfectly fine if you play the game on BA mode.
We trust reviews from a guy who calls himself "Angry" Joe? yea, that sounds reasonable..
The game is fine and if people gave it a chance they would find that out for themselves. Instead people like you are just ranting all over with discontent about what I consider to be trivial things.
Check my steam stats, I know the game and the reviews are BS imo.
