I had huge expectations for this game to be honest. When I played the game, I can't say I was too happy to play it, at the same time I wasn't extremely displeased either. It didn't meet my expectations but at the same time, it didn't exactly crash and burn. It's hit and miss for me. I'll be having fun, and at times I'll just be indifferent.

So, Gearbox finally put out a new update for Aliens that fixed a few bugs. At first, I thought to myself, "Well, at least they're doing something to make the game better" and decided to see what was changed. After downloading the update (which is mandatory, btw) I found that my save has been completely reset. To people unfamiliar with how Aliens:CM saves progress, it stores it's save files to the cache, rather than the HDD. So, if at any point you sign in to your profile while the game is running, you'll lose everything. Character levels, collectibles, challenges, and campaign progress. All gone. Forget any fun I was having with the multiplayer, this just effectively killed the game for me. All for a fucking spiked collar for my goddamn xeno to wear in multiplayer.

It's a crying shame, I was really looking forward to this game back in October, and I'm just glad that I decided to wait for critics and reviews before buying it.

Someday I hope to hear how it all went wrong. -_- though as a long time Alien fan, I'm used to the universe being stomped on. Alas.

I just got the game played a little bit of the multiplayer. I think the marines move too slowly and the aliens too quickly and the alien attacks are to wild and look like some ones just smashing away at the attack button they should have a stamina bar.

Would thought that season pass would of came with the collectors edition?

Alright. So, Gearbox put out a 4GB update for the PC earlier today. I don't at all believe that this will be the patch that'll turn this game into GOTY material, but at least it's a step in the right direction. Anyway I'll list the fixes down below.

Spoiler:
3/18/2013 Update

General

Improved texture resolution.
Various visual improvements.
Added mouse smoothing to options menu.
Fixed crashes tied to launch and motion tracker.
Added additional safeguards to better protect save data.
Resolved an issue where a player's level could sometimes appear incorrect when backing out of a party.
Addressed several scenarios under which players could spawn without a weapon.
Changes to better prevent audio from sometimes cutting out during end of mission cinematics.
Fixed issue where Xeno death animation was not properly calculating momentum of the killing blow.
Smart Gun animation now properly tracks targets.
Addressed some instances where Xenos would display erratic animations.
Increased light radius for player's shoulder lamp.
Adjusted aim assist to better reflect player input.
Addressed an issue that could sometimes cause co-op player revival to not work under certain circumstances.
Addressed issues with players not spawning into a level properly.
Fixed a marine player invincibility exploit.
Resolved several instances where players could walk or fall outside of maps.
Addressed an issue where Ripley’s Flamethrower (bonus content) would sometimes fire continuously without player input.
Fixed an issue that could cause localized text to sometimes display incorrectly.
Addressed an issue where weapon ammunition was not always highlighted properly.
General user interface improvements.
Miscellaneous bug fixes.

Campaign

Tweaked enemy and friendly AI to be more aggressive and responsive.
Modified campaign difficulty to account for improved AI responsiveness.
Improved enemy collision detection regarding doors and Power Loader.
Addressed some issues that could cause improper warping for co-op players.
Various tweaks to address instances where NPC characters would not always properly navigate to objectives.
Players will no longer bleed out immediately when downed in a Power Loader.

Versus

Fixed issues that could cause clients to report inaccurate results and statistics.
Addressed instances where a map would appear to “pop in” when loading into a new match.
New Xeno appearance customization added.
Multiplayer teams should now correctly auto-balance between rounds.
Increased duration of Lurker Pounce Challenge “Cat-Like Reflexes” from 10 to 20 seconds.
Fixed issue where certain multiplayer challenges would not unlock properly for all characters.
Crusher pick-ups now correctly appear as highlighted for clients.


Has anyone (assuming that there's still people who own this game) got a chance to play with the update installed and notice any visible changes to the game's graphics or AI? So far, the update only covers the PC, with the 360 and PS3 set to receive similar updates later on.

I got it for my PS3. I still gotta DL the patch, and that's gonna have to happen either Friday or Saturday. If any patch comes out that follows anything on that list, I'll let ya know.

I already sold my copy after the last time my save file was erased, but if they manage to fix enough problems, I might pick it back up if the multiplayer is still alive. TBH, that is probably the game's saving grace. Bug Hunt looks fun, but until the save wipe problem (among many others) is fixed, I won't bother with second chances.

I just want them to fix the hit boxes. You ever notice that when you shot at the aliens, you had to hit them in the center? Shoot at their arms or the sides, it won't register.
