Is anyone going to be buying this in Feb?

I'm a big time Aliens fan so I will have to buy this day one.

I've been looking toward to this for ages

And I love the comments that Gearbox Software's CEO Randy Pitchford has made and even delayed the release himself and got them to start again with it as he wasn't happy with it and is a huge aliens fan and wants it perfect

Can't wait for it! Hopefully it won't be a disappointment, I am really looking forward to the co-op play. But I had to get it from GreenmanGaming though because it was $99.95USD on Steam... What a ripoff!

I decided to torrent it, I am buying a new pc next week so i cannot justify the extra 59$. If the multiplayer is good maybe i will buy it later.

Bad reviews!  Just started playing this morning, graphics good but not as good as I thought they would be.  :(

That sound is awesome!  Actually just started playing the co op with randoms on hardest level.  Pretty fun!!

Well every game reporter is blasting it.

Yeah but that's probably because the publisher didn't bribe them enough. That's have game reviews work these days.

Mmm, it's kind of interesting how games have review embargos on them preventing any bad press before the game is released. Trying to sucker in as many people as they can.

Well the reviews i had a read of didn't rate multiplayer.  But they did not really say what level they were playing on.  I have not played any other multiplayer modes yet, but multi co op on single player at hardest level is lots of fun!  I will see how the rest of the game is after i finish the story.

overall i enjoyed it. Bad point i guess is there is not many heart pumping fear moments in the game (besides the queen at the end i was scared to get hit by the bitch) like deadspace or that 1st f.e.a.r game but yeh multi coop is alota fun
add me on steam guys username is brendo666

I've got it and think it's fun.:-) To be honest, it feels a little dated, and if you have played AvP, I think AvP movement (wall walking inc) feels a bit smoother and polished, but once you get use to ACM, it's great fun too! There sounds like there will be a lot of DLC to come.. so looking forward to that.
PvP also has not dedicated servers, so it's peer to peer. If you have enough friends, you can make friends only games and there are no random 800 ping monkeys making things too interesting.. lol

PvE is a rail shooter. Fun, set just after the ‘Aliens’ movie and has some story discrepancies if you are well versed in Alien law.. but I’ve enjoyed playing with mates, even if they like running off and dying just before I can revive them.. *Cough* *Toaster* *Cough*… lol Start on ‘Ultimate Badass’ for a bit more of a challenge with no HUD etc.
In short, I recommend getting it! Maybe not at steam full price... green man have it... or wait till next xmas for steam sales.. and don't expect too much in the graphics department. (If you do want to look at hi-rez graphics.. just go to the customize screen and gaze at the shiny Aliens there…)
Enjoy!

I've enjoyed it as well, singleplayer is just too easy with rare thrill moments

so much potential wasted, think this is why people dislike it so much

Multiplayer is Awesome, made the $49 worth it
