We can be negative here, it's true. But there's lots to be negative about these days:
- Trend away from single player
- Trend towards Free 2 Pay
- Trend towards always online DRM regardless of game type
- Trend towards ports of console games over made-for-PC titles
- Trend towards monetization over gameplay
- Collapse of beloved devs/publishers
- Draconian EULAs
- Trend toward poor PR with gamers

Seems like a rehash bereft of creativity though. Honestly, a tough hispanic female soldier, who saw that coming. Oh, and the shuttle pilot is a white woman. Wonder if she'll at any time be in the pipe, five by five.
Good thing there's a cargo loader, that's not been done.

Eh Darks does have a point. Regs here are prolly the most negative for the sake of being negative when compared to most other gaming news sites.

It is not that I’m defending the game; I’m just getting tired of all the negativity when it comes to pc games in general here at Blues. It’s becoming a routine here listening to whinny assed people bitch about pc games in general when there are not a whole lot of them to go around as it is.

In fact it’s getting a little sickening reading it all the time by the same people doing the bitchin.

seriously? you dont like the comments in the "comments" area?

go have a tea party or play with some dolls or something.. maybe bake some cupcakes

if this place is too rough for you, then put on your tiara and be off on your merry way.. because if you dont expect "negativity" at a gaming website, you've got a few decades to catch up on

"...shows US Colonial Marines doing what they do best – kicking some Xenomorph ass."

Gearbox must have been watching a different Aliens movie to me.

Because in the version I saw, what Colonial Marines do best is die.

Wow, they are really hitting ALL the Aliens movie beats: medlab, turrets, dropships, loader, Bishop, Sulaco, door welding, etc.

Graphics still look craptastic, but I'm fine with that if story/gameplay are good. Just surprising in this day and age. Hopefully PC graphics will be better.

And given that this is marketing, I'd expect the narrator to have BETTER voice acting than in game. I hope the in game stuff is better, but from what Iv'e seen from other trailers, I'm skeptical. Still, not a deal breaker, just a shame as good voice acting really increases immersion (as do graphics).
