G'Day all, Rowan/LSWSjr here... posting for the first time since my previous experience on the forums left me kinda disheartened (see http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.400989-Me-Myself-and-I-A-thread-for-we-few-fans-of-ALIENS-Colonial-Marines?page=1). Anywho with that specific...

Thank you for the information and I'll see if I can find that list. I think I understand what you're saying, but even so it's most likely too late to modify this thread to a more neutral tone, but even then the purpose of this thread was to present a more positive tone in the face of...

I'm don't actually how to tell who's a moderator and who's not, but I don't know how that would effect my response even if I did, after my first warning I've tried to be careful not to use the T-word for starters. I am defensive towards the game because I enjoyed it, I also dislike people...

No, but I can still prefer that they post somewhere more appropriate and not put down people for enjoying a game, and I'm just as free to voice that opinion. What they do after that is up to them. Cheers Rowan/LSWSjr

I decided to do this as a separate post just because I wanted to warn anyone who hasn't played the game, and who also doesn't know what the whole 'messing with the cannon' issue is about, to read this. So consider yourself warned, spoilers and spoiler-based speculation follow. Personally...

Do you mean this one from 12 months ago http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBXfZWIG3ks?!? because that's 90% accurate and one of the oldest single player previews. The (single-player) inaccuracies come from a lot of multiplayer footage being sliced in; the third person view when cutting the marine...

How are they having a debate? The ones I was responding to were simply saying the game is bad/terrible/etc without giving reason, and generally without giving evidence of having first-hand experience with the game. In the case of those who have wanted to actually post more than a sentence or...

True, but why not criticise all modern war shooters for the same thing? I mean, if you did start including gravity/portal/time-freeze guns the fans would cry foul even more. Regardless, compared to its predecessors it adds a lot of new elements to the gunplay, as mentioned earlier, like...

I didn't actually mean for you to consider yourself included in that, I was referring to aguspal and Detroit, I'd also tried to keep the replies to your points follow your quotes. That said, I'm sorry and it wasn't meant for you. Okay, but that's merely paroting the opinions of others, so...

I'm sorry to hear that, and in part that's why I opened this thread, to provide a more positive place to discuss the game. Cheers Rowan/LSWSjr

I appreciate that you're a fellow fan, and I know Jim Sterling is too, but have you had a chance to play through it? I only ask because over the last day I've spoken with a lot of fan+gamers who've actually enjoyed the game, perhaps because they weren't critically assessing it. But people...

Good morning all, let's see what a night of sleep can bring to the thread... @The Haters Nothing you write here holds any credibility, because not only do you lack firsthand experience with what you're trying to discuss here, but you also apparently cannot read, as the title of this thread...

I'm not really much of a forum guy generally, the only reason I have an account is to collect Zero Punctuation badges, lame I know, but hey I'm a fan of Yahtzee. Also what was Tina Tiny?!? I honestly enjoyed the game and I posted this thread because I wanted to know how many others own it...

What are the main reasons you're not buying this game? Especially when you admitted that you will buy it when it hits a 6th of its current price. Cheers Rowan/LSWSjr

In your honest opinion what about the game was low quality? Cheers Rowan/LSWSjr
