NEW Alien vs Predator videogame details!!

[THX-182]

Unfortunately that is common at Gamestop. They frequently run out of their pre-order freebies. A lot of the employees steal them for themselves and sell them on eBay. That's why I didn't get my Dead Space art book, my Battlefront Scout Trooper figure, and I barely got my Force Unleashed Stormtrooper figure when they only gave out 10 of them despite telling me two days prior that they had like four cases of them in the back.

That is why, if there is a pre-order incentive I must have, I get it on Gamestop.com. You ALWAYS get your bonus from the site. Sure you pay a shipping fee and can't get it at midnight, but if you want to be guaranteed your bonus, it's the only way to go.

That's a good point. I'll be doing this from now on.

Nobody around here has it. I'll have to get it when I go back down to the city in a couple days.

Just picked my copy up from GS and they asked me if I wanted the skins because they got short changed on the codes so if you have it on order with GS you might want to pick your copy up early.

Holy sh#t this game is hard. I'm playing the Marine and they are extremely stingy with the ammo.

Any reviews out on this game yet?

There's several out, but its pretty hit or miss. If you aren't a hardcore Aliens or AVP fan I'd really suggest renting it.

Thanks, Wook I just bought Uncharted 2 a couple weeks ago so I'm pretty wrapped up in that ATM anyway.

 

[The Josh]

Yeah, GS is bad about that. Happened to me with the FU figure because the two they had left where for employees I was told. I will say though that the manager there did give me a copy of the skins for BS 2 even though I didn't PO it.

they do that often, i've had it happen to me a couple of times on preordered games so now i just dont bother preordering and get my games either at target or best buy.

 

[ironwez20]

Good idea.

 

[hairlesswookiee]

I swapped to the Predator campaign and now I'm loving this game!!!! Its so fun to sneak around stalking the Marines. I try to pull a distraction on a guard by hitting the button to say "Over here" and the Marine said "Uh Uh, you come to me."

its good to hear a positive comment coming from a gamer and not some games review site.

Well, I've made peace with the fact that it won't win GOTY so I've just been enjoying the nerd factor while playing this game. I love just about every Predator game that's been around--including the AVP 2 PSP game, so I just accept that I'm just gonna suspend all disbelief with this one.

 

[twistedfreak]

What are the controls like? Do they seem to work well? Some negative reviews have said that the controls are lacking in the game. Would love to hear some comments on how responsive the controls are. With the game, I think the most important aspect is the overall fun factor for the kind of game it is.

 

[kain4521]

Not to far into the game

Spoiler

I just jumped into the sewers

on the Marine campaign but I have already jumped outta my skin several times.

 

[CelticPredator]

Played as the predator...controls are seriously clunky, and slow. I have to hit the button HARD to distract them. could be my controller though.

Alien is much more fun.

Marine...not until nightfall...

And whilest on the herb...oh my god....OH MY GOD...I'm pissing myself already...

But I like it.

____ multiplayer though. That ____ is hard. What is up with the Alien's slow ass? He needs to be more feral and fast. I couldnt kill anyone using my claws.

 

[CelticPredator]

Only thing I hate so far- Obvious AvP/AvP-R homages. The Predator looking at the ship, using the same view finder as in AvP-R. The AvP armor look. And ____ing PREDATOR SUBTITLES....aughhh.

Oh well. Atleast the Alien has a better way of doing things. The queen head floating is awesome.
