Amaaaazing!

Out of all my years on neogaf this is the best thing I've ever seen. M

 

[cyberheater]

The game doesn't look anything like that. At all. The lighting is completely different. I don't think there's actually any real-time lighting at all. There are certainly no real-time shadows cast by most of the environment or characters..

Yes. I noticed this on the youtube vids. In a game that set in mostly dark areas. How could you not have real time shadows.

They would have been far better using the Crysis or UT engine for this game.

 

[MickeyPhree]

All right, GAF, what are you waiting for? Breakfast in bed? Another glorious day to play A:CM! A day with A:CM is like a day on the farm. Every meal's a banquet! Every paycheck a fortune! Every formation a parade! I LOVE THAT A:CM!

Jesus this floor is freezing...

Hate to say it, but I wouldn't get your hopes up too high for Colonial Marines. I used to work at Gearbox, and the development of that game has been a total train wreck, going on what, 6 years now? Gearbox isn't even making the game, except for the multiplayer. Primary development was outsourced to TimeGate Studios, which has a less than stellar past.

I hope it proves me wrong, as I still have alot of friends still working at Gearbox, but I am expecting it to be average at best.

Considering the MP sounds like the best part of the package this seems believable.

Oh I did not know that. Then again, I actually enjoyed Section 8 Prejudice (well, the co-op at least). Sounds like the MP and Co-op are the best things about A:CM if not by much though.

Those F.E.A.R. expansions that TimeGate did were ROUGH though. Definitely a developer with a less than ideal track record.

What do you want me to do, fetch your slippers for you?

So... should I send the CE back to amazon and get Dead space 3 instead? I used part of a $300 credit on amazon, but I'd prefer to put that toward something I'll enjoy if this game is as bad as everyone's saying.

 

[WX3]

I wish I knew how to photoshop "Sup." into the gif just as dude bro passes by!

I was excited to finally read some opinions of the game but I still bought it on Steam. Preloaded and all that. I just hope theres a bit of atmosphere somewhere in the game. Something done right. Many opinions so far just rip the game pretty good, and the Alien fan in me hopes that maybe I'll enjoy it based on bias alone for anything Alien, Predator, and AvP...

I beg you, please do not buy Call of Dead Space.

The "OH MY GOD" and hype train crashing got me good.

 

[H2Yo]

So the game has downloaded from Steam and I tried to launch it for the first time and I get the following error:

Failed to start game (missing executable).
See the Steam support site for more information.

I have verified all cache and it says it's 100%.

WTF Steam.

 

[shungokusatsu]

I'm a huge CoD fan so that's not helping, ha. I just know the CE is going to end up being $7 in a month due to the game bombing. The same thing happened to the Duke Nukem CE once the reviews came out.

Why Gearbox?

Do you want to support a game with 11 DLC after 2 days and a ingame cash shop for weapons?

You don't get the executable until the game is released. The rest of the game is pre-loaded.

 

[MickeyPhree]

Would you sir? I'd like that.

 

[Peagles]

But the game is released (in Australia and New Zealand), and that poster is in Melbourne.

H2Yo try restarting Steam, you should get an update that fixes it.

 

[derFeef]

I laughed at "NEOGAF"

Okay. Looking forward to impressions and screens for the PC version.

Tried this, even tried rebooting my machine. The game says READY TO PLAY in steam.
I suppose I'll wait till the end of the day and just hope my game updates when it sits midnight in the US.

Surely others must be in the same boat. Have you checked the Steam forums?

Verified your game cache? What's your total file size? I had to do two updates before I could actually play without issues. Mine's 6306MB on file.

[MyAbsolution]

This deserves a video with the "Going to the Store" theme in the background.

Seems it should be out for you.

MrWinne 1 hour ago
The game is now unlocked for Australia and New Zealand. It will be released to most other countries over the next 24 hours. Please try again if you had the missing executable error. Our apologies for the delay.

Please don't tell me the thing with the toilet and the shit is real.

Please.

What's the size if you go to properties in your library and go to the local files tab? Mine's 6.15GB where you are checking so I'm betting you are missing the update somehow...

That's from Duke Nukem Forever.

Jesus Christ, mine is 6219MB, somehow bigger than yours? hahaha

Mine's 6306MB in the Steam properties, 6.15GB in Windows.

 

[Raide]

Max hittting up some co-op A:CM.

 

[Mik3F]

I may be in the minority here but so far I am enjoying this. It may not be the AAA title that we all hoped for but it has kept me entertained for the evening.

Can't wait to get stuck back in tomorrow evening

Think you could upload your exe for us? It would be greatly appreciated.

Jesus Christ what is with the screen tearing?

I'm going to pick this game up on the Wii U. Should be a blast

I'm glad you'r enjoying it. This is GAF and often, most of the folks are over critical.

LOL at the Motion Tracker stuck-in-the-gun glitch.

And damn this game has a lot of screen tearing.

So there is no shadows under dynamic objects like soldiers at all?

Amazing bad for a fps game being released in 2013.

 

[HueyFreeman]

Yeah, I'm kind furious with Pitchford. Farming out the SP campaign - for an Aliens sequel focused on "story" and "lore" and all this other shit he spewed. He's come out of this really sleazy, and this is hot of the tails of Duke.

Gearbox has demonstrated they're a C grade developer who got lucky with BL.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

Is anyone having a some what decent time with this game :/

 

[dmr87]

Someone speed this up

BL 2 was awesome. I think they just like grabbing games that have gone into dev hell, throwing it around a bit and finally getting it released.

 

[Mik3F]

Yes I am, went in with open eyes and so far so good. Things could change but I have enjoyed what I have played so far

 

[Kun Aguero]

Ehm..

Yeah, ill just..

umm..

oh god..

Lol, that's one old arthritic looking alien.

 

[bryanee]

Yup I'm liking it, mission two wasnt good but overall its fine.

Will come back for the gifs. Subbed.

I'm up to Chapter 8 in Dead Space 3 and enjoying the heck out of it, I'm a huge fan of the first 2 games and this one definitely feels like dead space, I can see where people got the COD reference but luckily this only occurred in the first 10 minutes of the game and then you're back to fighting creatures in dimly lit hallways.

There was never another developer for ACM. GB sent the game in development hell, there's no one else to blame here.

 

[walking fiend]

Holy fuck, that you tube video (this one), is the creepiest thing and hilarious at the same time, wow at that gif, this game, this thread, WOW!
