Vasquez: Look, man. I only need to know one thing: where they are.
Drake: Go, Vasquez. Kick ass.
Vasquez: Anytime, anywhere, man!
Hudson: Right, right. Somebody said "alien" she thought they said "illegal alien" and signed up!
Vasquez: Fuck you, man!
Hudson: Anytime, anywhere.

Goddamn you Aliens quoting Fckers. It's 10PM on a worknight, and now I'm throwing my Aliens BRD into the player.

"Maybe it's like an ant hive..." "Bees man, bees have hives." "You know what I mean. It's like one female that runs the whole show." "Yes, the queen." "Yeah the mamma. She is bad*ss, man. I mean big." "These things ain't ants estupido." "I know that." --Aliens movie

Ok we've got 7 canisters of CN-20, I say we roll them in there and nerve-gas the whole fucking nest.

The couple of female gamers out there will be happy. Otherwise who cares?

Wow. That was...ignorant.

I have a ton of female gamers who visit my store. I'm in a small town. I'm going to leave you to draw your own conclusions, though they'll likely be hilariously ignorant as well.

An Alien RPG would be great if they took a System Shock-like approach to it. Instead of playing as a generic Space Marine, you'd play as a regular colonist. Your skills would be comprised of things that would be useful to colonists, such as engineering, science, medicine, security, etc. The objective would be to survive the xenomorph infestation until rescue ships arrive. How you survive would be up to you. You could try and work with other survivors or you could be a lone wolf. You'd have to manage things like food, water, medicine and even oxygen, forcing you to make tough choices when dealing with other survivors. A crafting system would help you build tools and improvised weapons and traps from miscellaneous things you've gathered in the colony.

That's the Aliens game that I want to play. Xenomorphs as an enemy are stale. You already know everything about them. Therefore, making a game that revolves around shooting them will also be boring. However, if you change the focus of the game and the tools the player has at his disposal, you can do something interesting with the IP. For example, players already know how xenomorphs are made. A good designer could use this knowledge to make an interesting moral choice for the player. Like what you'd do if a survivor got facehuggered. Knowing what happens next, you could try and convince the other survivors that the victim needs to be killed but then you'll piss off anyone that is close to the victim, such as his/her spouse, friend or family members. In turn, your relationships with other survivors would have long-term consequences. If you kill the facehugger victim, her husband might decide to lock you in a room with a facehugger later in the game.

It was good for the first 25 levels, then it lost what was fun. Kind of like Diablo 3 come to think of it. I really wanted to like it, but it was really unfinished when I played it on release.

Yup. The starter area was brilliant, very polished. Then it fell apart. Clearly released way ahead of time.

It is important not to alienate female gamers. Also there are a ton of dudes out there who would prefer to play as women in games.

An Alien RPG would be pretty kick-ass.. imagine a free-roaming Skyrim like Alien game.. you can choose your race, and it goes from there. With different worlds and space-travel.

Sigh... will never be made.. eh

Wow. I was thrilled to see this news and upon reading further it turns out to be an even bigger disappointment than the long development time. Taking the time to finish it won't bother me at all -- it's been so long already that I wouldn't even notice. 'Releasing' it unfinished is an insult to us fans that have been waiting patiently.

And what capabilities would that even be? Lacks USB 3.0, has outdated GPU and CPU, no non-apple hardware upgrade paths... sounds to me like it should be cheaper, not more expensive...

$50? Really?

TFD has all the best games on it, and it's only $20. I would NOT pay $30 for Red Alert 3 + C&C 3 (and I won't even mention that other terrible piece of shit they tacked on).

I hope you're referring to C&C4, because Generals: Zero Hour is the best C&C game yet.

At least EA is making it clear NBA Live 13 isn't worth buying. NBA2K annual purchase for me again.

It would be nice if NBA Live could at least be marginally competitive so 2K fixes some of the persistent bugs that are there every year in their product.
