Canceled my preorder after playing the demo. I was hoping for a more modernised multiplayer experience than it seemed to offer. Might buy it when it's cheaper in the future.
I bought it yesterday on the way home from work. I was going to get the collector edition that comes with the alien head suckers thing mteodel and all that junk but I decided to save the cash and just get vanilla AvP instead, the reviews have been way too mixed for me to want to spend too much money on this game. I'll probably played through the three campaigns this weekend and maybe touch a little multiplayer but I doubt I'll do too much of that. It seems to be getting very positive reviews in Australia compared to game press in the US and even Europe. So hopefully they weren't too wrong.
I bought my copy for the PS3 and I'll probably play Marine --> Alien --> then Predator's campaign.
I'll be picking it up tomorrow. It's never going to be as good as Left 4 Dead 2, but I've played that game to death. At the moment I'm not looking for 'better' I'm looking for 'different', just to tide me over until the summer/autumn blockbusters.
That game sucks a lot, I never understood the hype. It looked crappy from the first trailer I saw, maybe that SEGA logo at the beginning of the trailer had something to do with it. And then the demo. God that was awful.
I got mine on Friday, beat all three campaigns over the weekend and it was awesome. I am not sure if I am missing something, but I didn't really have any problem with this game at all. It was a fun ride. I especially liked the Alien campaign, even though I thought I wouldn't. There's something about running onto the ceiling, positioning myself and dropping down behind a marine for a stealth kill that just makes me happy.
I understand the hate that is being leveled at this game. But I'm the kind of person who digs a very mediocre Spider-Man sandbox game if they just nail the sense of Spidey swinging around without any hiccups. That means that, yes, I'm going to get this game, because there really aren't enough notable Alien or Predator games on the market anymore.
