New Aliens vs Predator

[Upset Spideyfan]

Oh wait, you can block?

Man, no wonder I've been having such a hell of a time so far.

I'm also thinking about dropping my diff from hard down to norm.

Gametrailers rates it 7.7/10.

I beat the Alien campaign an it was shorter then I expected an thanks to some guys here already thought it would be kinda short. Still enjoyed ti an will have to redo them on the harder difficulties as well as find my items an what not. So far I'm REALLY enjoying the Predator missions. Really neat to see how they work from the inside since so little is known about them.

I just got the game for 360. I cannot wait to play some of the MP matches, as that has been my main attraction to buying the game. The SP sounds a little short and disappointing according to some reviews but I still think the marine campaign will be great. If nothing else it will be a great tease for Colonial Marines (whenever it gets released).

Yea if you block their attack then counter immediately you'll knock the xenos on the ground and you can finish em off quite easily. This happens online with inexperienced players using the xenomorph and predator. They'll jump in front of you then try to do a quick attack only to be blocked and countered then finished off. Rule 1 for using a xeno or predator, dont attack a marine from the front.

I'm enjoying the multi-player. The Marine Campaign was pissing me off (I hate that your by yourself, you should be a squad) so I took a break from it.

I have to say, I'm really disappointed by all the Predator skins. They are nothing than different helmets on 2 different default bodies, a heavy armored and a light armored one.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Damn, that Wolf Predator is quite bad ass.

 

[Nathan]

Yeah, but it's only the Mask. His body is that of the standard light armored Predator in the game. No different skin color, gear or face.

The xenos arent much better. They are basically just different heads. I was hoping we'd at least get a different body type.

 

[Nathan]

I don't mind the Xenos, the biomechanical look is the perfect look. I don't like the more fleshy designs they got in later Movies. They lost their whole uniqueness. But Predators aren't Aliens, they shouldn't be like an army of clones with no individuality.

Im bothered more by the lack of different xenomorphs than i am the predators. I think they vary less than the Predators, at least the Predators have different masks, the xenos barely have any different features. Ridged? Smooth? Thats it? I mean there are at least 3 different body styles of xenomorphs in the game but we dont get any of them in the mp. Id of thought we would have at least been able to select the xenomorphs that dont have those pipe looking things on their backs.

 

[Nathan]

Yeah, I ackknowledge that they vary less, but it's not a big deal for me with the Aliens, because they aren't exactly character with individual personalities. They aren't like humans. But I agree that other skins should have made it in, like the Runner that you mentioned and most important of all, the freaking Predalien.

I don't undertand why there are only 6 skins for each species in the first place. The Predators and Marines could've easily over a dozen different skins.

DLC, you watch.

 

[Nathan]

Hopefully they'll do a better job than they did with the current skins.

 

[Benstamania]

I don't get my hopes up for skins of any kind. They're either pointless and stupid (M: UA2) or not all that different. (AvP)

 

[THE LIZARD#1]

In the demo there was a predator skin called "Alien Predator" I thought it was going to be the Hybrid we saw in AVP requiem...I know I shouldn't even mention that movie.

 

[Nathan]

Nah, it's just a Predator with an Alien helmet.

 

[marvelman2006]

I find it funny that they would even bother with skins when its a first person shooter. Not hating but it seems pointless when you wont even see the skin your wearing.

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

Quite a few shooters have a sense of MMO like progression even it's useless tat, it's just the trend.

 

[lzzy]

Did any of you guys get AVP:R on bluray as an extra with the Hunter Edition (PS3) ?

 

[Nathan]

No, but people you're owning will see it. Also, you yourself don't want to see one and the same character again and again, just because the others players can't pick other skins, since to you it's "pointless" if you can't see yourself. It's nice to have some character diversity in a game.

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

Ya know, this is a small nitpick but I wish the game hadn't drawn from the AVP movie for its mythology.

*shudders.
