Anyone still playing this? Is it getting any better? I mean despite the tiny plot size and always online requirement.

Guys, I finally found out who Slick and RollingThunder are!

I'm completely and utterly outraged that I am being forced to be connected to the internet to constantly view and post on these forums. I am a loyal, dedicated fan and as such deserve to have things my way and get to choose whether or not I want to be online for these forums. This isn't communist China, you shouldn't be allowed to force us fans into something we don't want to do. If I want to be on a deserted island in the middle of nowhere that has no internet, I should still be able to post on these forums and view topics.


If my demands are not met within the next 2 day, I'm going to pirate these forums. I'm going to use the internet to find a way to use these forums without the internet. Then who will have the last laugh? Me! That's who. The loyal fan(s) which you're rolling over by this requirement! Unbelievable!

I may have to cave and get this after watching some let's plays. I'm a sucker for building games and even with its flaws it looks better than anything I've seen in years.

Does anyone know the latest on how to block Origin from scanning your system and phoning home? I've never installed Origin before. My own googling gave some suggestions, but many were over a year old and perhaps outdated.

Heaven knows Acti-Blizzard don't have the kind of resources Valve was able to muster in making Portal 2 function across platforms...

Most console games don't cross-play with PC because they're designed with the 360 in mind, and Microsoft doesn't let anyone in and out of their walled garden (without paying for the privilege, and that's one way only). No such restriction on the PS3.

If anything, this might be a case where PC-console cross-platform play got scuttled from the PC end. After all, Blizzard doesn't want anything getting into their precious...

Game leaked on consoles a day ago. Word is it's a very average FPS game, not worthy of the name it carries.

... And then there are people who still rages for the PC piracy

Worse. Sega will blame piracy as well as convince themselves Aliens isn't a viable property. Consider the unannounced game by Creative Assembly canceled if A:CM bombs. They already canceled Obsidian's Aliens: Crucible.

No dedicated server support at launch: CHECK
Pre-release DLC: CHECK
Multiplayer DLC: CHECK
Cut skirmish mode to be sold as DLC 1 month later: CHECK

So...can someone explain to me how this isn't following the same path as AvP3? Remember that game? The one Sega officially dropped support for 6 months after launch.
Multiplayer DLC for a game like this only fractures the already small playerbase. It's suicide.

ACM, much like AvP3, will be dead on arrival.

The only horse shit here is yours and many others attitude towards a game you haven’t even played yet.

Err, they think it doesn't look good, that's not an attitude, it's just an observation and opinion. You're just angry because you like it and others don't. Your comments works both ways too, you seem awfully defensive about a game you haven't spent much time with either.

This is the "we're pulling out all the stops" DLC, where every writer is collaborating, and their first tease is a casino with an R&R remark?

In a game in which sentient demi-god machines are eradicating life in the entire galaxy? Do they even remember their own storyline?

I'm quite looking forward to this, though I'm still annoyed that so many matches lag out because other players set their graphics settings too high - that's simply bad programming. They should either limit players' graphical settings or improve the netcode so as to not be so reliant upon system performance.
