Aliens Colonial Marines

[Goji]

This definitely blows, but I've already been waiting 6 years (and in a way, my entire life) for this game. Another 8+ months isn't going to kill me.

[Godzilla 1995]

I'm kinda glad they moved the game's release date. What with buying a car and paying for it's upkeep, I don't have as much to spend on games. makes the strain on my wallet a little easier this year.

[Giga Kaiju]

This just made my day! The new trailer is just badass.
February 2013 although its a while to wait i can...i am not desperate to get it and by then im probably going
to get it for The Wii-U (If im able to get the money).
Agree with G1995: I dont have a lot of money right now and im thinking about College than
Videogames overall now anyways.

Seems like a pretty cool Collectors Edition.

[GojiFan]

Sonic Electronic Ball Breakers

Yes.

In all honesty, it looks pretty cool. But for the same reason I didn't buy the collector's edition for Diablo 3, I won't be buying this one. Is the extra $40 really worth the powerloader and some in-game content really worth it? Probably not.

[Goji]

Well, you're just getting DLC early, basically. SEGA did the same thing with the Hunter Edition of AvP.

I don't know about you, but being able to play as Drake, Apone, Hicks and Hudson on Day 1 sounds pretty attractive to me, but then again, I'm a diehard ALIENS junkie. (Which you obviously are as well, but for whatever reason this doesn't appeal to you).

Also that resin statue skreeonk rocks.

Well that is what I meant by the "in-game content" comment, as obviously the maps will be released later. While it is tempting, I view it the same as the angelic wings in Diablo 3. Awesome? Hell yes. Would i pay more than a few dollars for it? Eh. I am a huge fan of both Aliens (obviously) and Diablo (which is quite possibly my favorite game series ever), and I ended up not getting the collector's edition for that.

The resin statue is awesome, but then again I am not really into the whole collecting statues and models thing.

Well The in-game content for the Diablo 3 Collector's Edition didn't appeal to me that much, but I like to collect game soundtracks and art books and the like. I think Bioshock 2 has to be the best Collector's Edition I ever bought though.

[Goji]

When you put it that way, I can definitely understand why it doesn't appeal to you, GojiraFan. I imagine the statue alone counts for an extra $20-$30 alone.

Hell, this doesn't even come with a steel book case, which the AvP's collector's edition had.

Precisely. The only Collector's edition I have ever bought was for Red Alert 3, and it came with a ton of really awesome things (including a really nice steel case) for only like $10 extra.

Edit: Correction, I also have the collector's edition of Crysis. That was more so my mom just grabbing the first one she saw for a present than me asking for it though.

[Hellspawn28]

I buy collector's edition's to games that I'm really hype up for. I would have buy the collector's edition of Skyrim if I had the money at the time. The good thing about the game being push back is that I have more time to save up money.

[Gyaos]

The ability to play as Hicks, Hudson and Apone gaurentees a pre-order for me. Though I'd much rather have a Pulse Rifle Replica like Gears did with the Lancer than just a Power Loader toy.

[Goji]

Right. Because a resin statue is a "toy".

The price would have probably been around $1.999 if it came with an actual Pulse Rifle Replica.

[Gyaos]

Gears 2's collector edition that came with the life sized Lancer was only $139. I'd still much rather have a Pulse Rifle than a Power loader statue , thats just my 2 cents.

[Kaiju-King42]

Wish you could play as Xenomorphs.

[Kiryu2012]

Wish you could play as Xenomorphs.

That would be pretty cool.

[Kaiju-King42]

Wish you could play as Xenomorphs.

That would be pretty cool.

You could do it in that Alien vs Predator game. Now that was awesome. Human gameplay, meh. Predator gameplay, good. Xeno gameplay... I LOVED IT!

I could just sneak up on humans when they wouldn't be looking if I could. Too bad we could never cause the humans to crack from the fear and go crazy.

[Gyaos]

According to this, there will be competitive multiplayer:

So yeah we'll prolly get Marines vs Aliens.

Well yeah, who wouldn't, but obviously, that didn't happen. I think you'll get over it.



You definitely can play as xeno's in multiplayer. It was revealed quite some time ago. Come on people, there are videos all over the internet..
