The funny thing is .... the story is GREAT. In fact its amazing, and fully ties the plots of Aliens 2 and Aliens 3 together. The game designers actually did something that film makers couldnt.
so far the worst thing about the aliens busting out of the chest of the humans is it goes through the clothes like its part of the flesh lol shaking my head at that one every time i see it...
Honestly, xenomorphs would make fantastic terrorism weapons, but as far as real military application goes, I feel all the effort is just wasted; a conventional army with modern—for the time in-universe—weaponry would honestly be more versatile, reliable and overall better.
At 1:12:06 it becomes very interesting. I never knew about the placenta of those Alien embryos. It's amazing, the more I go through the Alien-related games I get the impression that movie makers should probably work together with game designers and let them tell the story. For instance, Alien Isolation could deliver the storyline to a sequel in between Alien and Aliens.
I grew up with James Cameron's Aliens and I skipped getting this game at first because of bad reviews, but then I got it cheap, played it and loved it! The Stasis Interrupted DLC was really good too! I really don't understand the bad reviews, more than the AI can be buggy sometimes and the graphics, I don't think were really that bad at all, but they were a bit dated for the year it came out. With those 2 flaws though, I still loved the game. There was so much fan service, I loved the locations, the weapons and classic sound effects from the movie, the score, the voice actors, damn near everything. 4/5 stars from me
i never understood why corporation wanted xenomorphs so badly. sure, it's fascinating lifeform, but is it really good investment? why they didn't rather explored technology in that alien ship? advanced armor, computers, weaponry, FTL drives...don't tell me this isn't much more profitable.
i don't know why they consider this to be a bad game. i got it and the dlc and to me it turned out to be great. i always wanted them to make the sequel that should have been made from alien 3 but they made this instead.
