If you consider the normal distribution, there are always going to be some incredibly smart aliens, and incredibly dumb aliens. That's probably one of the dumb ones.

I'm kinda tired of being the big cheese

[Lunick]

But cheese is like the best thing ever!

I decided to look up the game on Reddit and found this too http://gifsound.com/...-Gbknk&start=20

[Micky C]

Haha, that's hilarious. What game is it from though?

You think all cheese is great? What about blue vein cheese? (it actually has mould in it). Or one of several smelly french cheeses? (no offence Plagman).

[X-Vector]

That's taken from Alien: Colonial Marines.

In my imagination this is a new alien breed called grandpa Xenomorph and its main attack is shuffling through corridors while mumbling about "whippersnappers" that need to get off his patch of the hive, attempting to kill marines with fits of laughter.

[Micky C]

Ah, I was a bit confused because a caption of a photo on its wikipedia page said there was no HUD (this was later changed apparently).

Well, looks like Gearbox has done it again

[X-Vector]

The HUD is removed on "ultimate badass" mode, the highest difficulty setting.

It's all going to the same place

But can you still look at the movement scanner? (of course you can since it's not a HUD)

edit: The game is getting ripped apart. Maybe even more so than DNF.

The characters don’t seem to have any physical boundaries, or are unaware of each other. When you have two characters in an action scene, they tend to stand inside each other for some reason. “I’m going to be okay,” a woman tells a man in one scene, and then reassuringly places her hand inside his chest.

Quote

The aliens don’t seem to know what to do if you don’t kill them all the second you see them. They like to run around each other, only attacking human characters on occasion. You’ll sometimes find them just kind of hanging out with their heads butted up against walls. I missed a jump during one scene, and found myself in a pit with two of the new aliens that are supposed to blow up near their enemies. Instead, they just walked around me. I tried running in circles to get their attention. I shined my light at their heads. Nothing.

There was a scene where I was ordered to set up a sentry gun to support a marine who was trying to hack through a door. There was a sentry gun pointed the wrong way. So I walked over to it, picked it up, turned it around, and planted it in the same space. Mission accomplished.

Those are among the best cheeses.

How did Gearbox allow the game to be released with so many bugs? I'd understand bad gameplay but those kinds of gameplay bugs are simply unforgivable.

I've now lost a lot of faith in Gearbox. First DNF and now this, they're running out of excuses very quickly for their poor quality work. This doesn't bode well for DN5.

[Kathy]

The game looks unfinished, not just bug-ridden. And don't worry, Randy already started "it wasn't really in-house game" excuse.


RPS chimes in.

You’re allowed to open doors in the first couple of minutes, even torch them open if they’re stuck. But fortunately an NPC comes along pretty much straight away and takes over the playing of the game for you. Reach a door before him, hit E, and he’ll walk through you to open it first.

Quote

“One hostile remaining!” booms a marine as we’re surrounded by six or seven aliens. I’ve a feeling I should probably stop listening to their advice.

Oh, shit, I'm gonna be late for the stupid work...

I think this will be the last time Randy will take over a way overdue game. Imagine loosing twice in a row, that must hurt, I doubt he would risk a number three. Better stick with stuff like Borderland

Fuckin' Pitchford. Scotty 2 Hotty needs to give him a swift kick in the ass.

Just found out that there's a possible future fix for my "atmosphic sci-fi thrill" craving, called Routine.
It's developed by an indie team of only three people so I'll remain cautious, but the concept looks very promising and so do the available media.

Just another typical Russian day.

Debris going faster than the speed of sound. So much power.

You're gonna be one smelly piece of cheese by tonight.

No, those are Germans. Or the Japanese...

Naah, the French don't bathe.

But they don't shit on people.

Sounds like you know this from firsthand experience.

I just dropped her off home, she was tired and had to unpack everything. But we've got our own "valentine's day" tomorrow.

I've contracted a terrible form of Pharyngitis.

I knew getting it on with Courtney Love was a terrible idea.

I was about to say "strange, I was with her last week and I'm feeling fine" but then decided to actually look her up first. Apparently she's about 50 so I retract my statement.

What's up with my ego bar being full and saying maniac on it? I checked my post count, and I'm still 3 off from being at 5000, which I thought was 100% ego. I wasn't even aware I had made so much posts in such a short time

[Lunick]

You're just a maniac.

[Micky C]

If I somehow "won" a title to go over my ego bar, I can think of better names then "maniac".

In fact I'd be just as happy with 100%, that'd be pretty cool.

I'm afraid to make another post because it'll take me to the 5000 post mark
