Suprised they didn't go through free to play model for this. Seems ripe for it. Loads of customisation. Stick a battle pass on it etc etc

Fuck it, bought. Back in the heady days of the original AvP game I was always trying to get a horde mode game going and no fucker was interested. Look who's got the last laugh now eh?
Added a bunch of people from this thread, so don't be scared if you get a request from Mon_The_Biff (or some variant thereof).

Well that was pretty damn good I have to say. I'm not sure why anybody would name an alien after its host, but horses for courses I guess.
Smart Gun for the win.

neems yeah that was really good. They’ve nailed the Alien feel for sure, the beeping of the scanner is terrifying. Hammered home just how fucked the world would be if we were relying on me to have any kind of say in the fight.

Flamethrower 4 Lyfe. Though I'm a bit concerned how it's going to operate on the higher difficulties when friendly fire starts coming into play.
Just did the 3rd mission with some randoms. It really is quite a handsome game at times imo.

Wait a minute, I've just unlocked a bigger heavy flamethrower.

I can not imagine playing this with friendly fire on. My shots were all over the place when shit got real.

What class uses the flame thrower? I'm still the gunner as I'm unable to give up my pulse rifle. It just sounds so good. Plus I've unlocked a variant that's more, eh, pulsy. I believe it's classed as a heavy weapon, so only the Demolisher class gets to use it. So we were both right here. There's a CQW and a heavy class flamethrower. The heavy one is even sexier than the CQW one. |

I'm actually quite looking forward to trying it with friendly fire, although probably not with randoms. They might not understand. I reckon FG can take a burst of pulse rifle fire in the back in the spirit in which it's intended.

This must be some game to actually inspire Font Geekers to play together. Playing with neems tonight must be the first time I’ve spoken to someone online in about 4 years. And before that would have been on the 360! |

This game explains Prometheus better than Prometheus explains Prometheus.
I hope they make lots and lots and lots of DLC.

Dunno if they improved something with the patch earlier on but the reflections of the flamethrower flames in the water on the third level looked very cool. Don't think they were there when I was messing around on that level this morning before the patch.

I can't think of a witty response, but I feel like this speaks for itself 😀 |

Aside from the lack of animations when you interact with stuff and lip syncing and other little budgety bits that are missing it's really not a bad looking game. They've really nailed the vibe, it's not just a random co-op shooter in a basic Alien skin.

I was very pleasantly surprised with how good it looked, especially after reading somewhere (possibly on here?) that it could be any game from 2010 onwards.

They've really nailed the vibe, it's not just a random co-op shooter in a basic Alien skin. Yeah, some of the scenery and reveals are properly impressive. I'm not sure which guns are best on Technician, I'm still sticking with the original loadout: The hand-cannon is properly meaty (and has big weak-point multiplier), and the shot-gun is just nice (and it's 4 star perk seem really useful). Let me know if you're up for trying the 4th Campaign anytime today. Anyone else [PS4/5] of course welcome as well (but you want to be leveled a bit). |

I'll probably be on around the same time if that works for you? If there's someone else on here who wants to jump into the 3rd slot, I'll be setting up a lobby around 8-8.30ish. I've settled on a 3-round burst rifle primary, but I unlocked a new rapid fire shotgun towards the end of that 3rd campaign that just chews stuff up too, when I activate my Gunner skill it tears through special enemies. Looking forward to trying other classes once the 4th campaign is done. |

Lt. Santos is voiced by Colin Salmon, right? He sounds identical to the character he played (Cpt. Bracket) in the Alien: River of Pain audio-play.

Is anyone else playing this with bots? I'll always want to do that first in anything like this to play at my own pace but I have had three attempts at the third mission of the first chapter and am getting panelled right at the end by two or three drones combined with a swarm of runners. The drones seem to be complete bullet sponges.
With no checkpoint that's a lot of frustrating time gone when the rest of the mission has been handled with no problem.
I am loving this but it's very frustrating that it treats offline play like you are online. Maybe you are online? I want to bloody pause it sometimes!

You can just run to the back of the ship to complete the mission at that point, I don't think they expect you to fight the drones.

The reviews had put me off tbh, it was this thread that made me take a punt on it. I think it's going to be a big 'word of mouth' game. Doing well on youtube as well I think. |
