    *looks* Those are map packs and new guns and a new episode. Not patches. None of the bug fixes are contained in those, though one of the bug fixes was specifically FOR those(the "limited edition" version came with Ripley's flamethrower, and it had an annoying tendency to fire even when you weren't pressing fire in the game as shipped). The bug patches are as free as they always have been. And automatic these days, which blows my crotchety old mind. The first patch included better textures and "various visual improvements" too, and I HAVE seen companies charge for that before. As I said, it would be truly outrageous if companies started charging for bug fixes. Even moreso given the state Aliens LAUNCHED in. THIS remains fully in the realm of parody... for now. That said, wait for the next time it goes on sale. I paid five bucks, so can you. In the meantime... just read the patch notes and laugh at the incompetence. Bullets bouncing off open doors, characters walking through closed doors, and even doors that just didn't "open properly". And this is just THE DOORS. Not that the patch notes are themselves free of glitches. "Resolved issue where campaign Motion Tracker could incorrectly in multiplayer loadouts." That's copy/pasted, lest you think I made a mistake in transcription.

    Hey, I liked Bicentennial Man! </DuelGundam>

    It's been patched enough where it's just sub-par now instead of comedically terrible. If they were selling the fixes to make it half the game it should have launched as, I'd be furious.

    What sequels? I don't remember any sequels.

    Having played PART of the game, there's some GREAT ideas in there. But they're rough ideas that never got a chance to shine amidst all the murk. And then the game gets gimpy with aliens moonwalking down halls or running into corners, and it becomes hilarious instead of tense or frightening. And that's really the worst thing about it. Not that it's a bad game, but that at some point during it's development, someone was genuinely trying to make the best damn Aliens game they could before Gearbox utterly and irrevocably destroyed it.

    I bought it on sale because I figured I'd had five bucks worth of fun reading the patch notes. How do you convince yourself a game in that state is shippable unless you're guaranteed sales no matter how awful it is? Which... okay, I can't blamne preorders SOLELY for that, because I knew people that bought FF13 knowing how bad it was. They admitted it was bad and they wouldn't like it, "but it's Final Fantasy so I have to play it."

    Nope. It's good for developers that get a great game on store shelves, since they're no longer competing with high-budget crap. Preorders exist only to protect bad games from informed customers. Paying for a game you know nothing about is the height of folly.

    It's actually the only Shamalama movie I've seen. To heck with rain, what about morning dew?
  9. JB0
    Absolutely! I'm still waiting for the 1:1 scale kit.

    I don't know if it's been said or not, but Signs was a godawful terrible flick. Because neither godawful nor terrible covers the shee atrocity by itself. I caught it end-of-run at a dollar movie, and thought I overpaid. Shyamalama owes me two hours of my life back.

    Ah, thanks for reminding me! It's been a while since I've watched Nanoha. I should sit down with both series and marathon 'em.

    I'm pretty sure that's canon!

    Well, we know humanity and zentradi share a LOT of genes, so maybe the blue hair gene is just SUPER recessive! ... Or he grew up in a nuclear waste storage facility.

    God, not this again... Aviation rage in 5 seconds.

    Franchise is still appropriate as there was a toy line and books and comics and all that other related merch. Certainly, it's not an ANIMATION franchise, but it is still a franchise.

    3DS online store.

    Nice shots of Zaku Prime there.

    My understanding is little robot combines with the jet to form the big robot Saber, and then Saber combines with the TREAD V-Star to form the bigger robot Big Volfogg Star Saber. As opposed to all three units forming a single robot from the get-go. Which would make more sense. And yeah, then Star Saber puts Victory Leo on to form God Saber EX-Destiny Victory Saber.

    I am Groot! Truly the most challenging role Vin Diesel has ever played.

    You know, looking at the pics of OG Space Brick... If the powerup version gets a Masterpiece, I may bite the bullet. Even in the original clown colors. Because that shiznit is awesome. (Yes, I know it's a second Transformer that turns into a jetpack and high-heels for Space Brick. It still looks awesome.)

    Let me rephrase: I'd like to probe her I-field with my beam saber, if you know what I mean. Or maybe I'd like to overload her barrier and destroy Ontario, if you get my drift.

    God, I WISH I owned it. I played it in a museum. No, really. Incidentally, a lot of people DIDN'T play for free. There were change machines that gave tokens out, as well as quiz machines that were free to use and gave tokens out if you answered the questions right. MOST people were putting money into change machines, and I was running around slamming the trivia machines like a boss. It's not even that I was a game nerd. I WAS, but that's irrelevant. The quiz machine questions were all pulled from the exhibit writeups and games. You could EASILY make a run through the place, read the displays, and then spend forever hitting quiz machines, answering questions, and getting tokens.

    Space Brick needs to be recast as an Autobot Seeker mold. A whole RAINBOW of Space Bricks would be amazing. And we could ALL find a color scheme that Prime's cerebro-circuit-damaged cousin looked good in.

    So you're saying wait for the inevitable repaint? Gotcha.
  25. JB0
    I played it for free, and it was well worth every penny. No, really, I did.
