    Someone else might have already mentioned it, but the xeno's ai is actually broken, thanks to a typo in the code. After fixing it, the ai will actually try to think, and flank you if it can. It won't however make the overall game much better, and it just shows how much they cared about the project.

      Not just that they created a lazy reason for weapon swaying so heavily. The developers called it Weapon Wandering which is active all the time but it is terrible compared to even compared to call of duty.
      There are pc mods for colonial marines that remedies this...but for Xbox 360 and PS3 the game stays like shit because support is long dead.

    I know Im late to the game on your video but I'd thought id share some insight into a few things
    The aiming in this game was just broken. There is a system called 'fractal wandering' this moves the barrel of your gun around the screen, like weapon sway mechanics in lots of games. However the weapon you are holding on screen is drawn in 'local space' rather than 'world space' and this means that the bullets dont come from the weapon. The fractal wandering is applied ONLY to your on screen gun, not the actual invisible actor that represents you the player in the game world. The weapon literrally moves away from where its actually pointing in the game.
    Its obvious from looking a the game files that the rumors are true, Gearbox passed this game on to timegate studios who developed most of it with Gearbox mashing a game together for release, then Gearbox tried to hastily fix the mess with the huge patch they did. Because Gearbox didnt actually make the game, they were not intimately familiar with its code. they stripped and simplified alot of things rather than fixing them

  • @ginsu3396
    @ginsu3396 6 років тому +22

    GearBox outsourced this game and didn't give a shit about it, that's why it failed. The original design was about a tactical shooter where you lead a Marine Fire-Team and try to survive against hordes of aliens, including ones that would try to outflank you or find a way through your defences. Imagine something like Space-Hulk, you're trying to decide what doors to seal shut, where to place the sentry guns, where you will bottle neck them etc, and then you try to hold out while all hell breaks lose.
    Now GearBox scrapped that idea way early on, no intention to make anything worth while and outsourced random pieces of shit to another company with no clear direction of what they were doing, only to take it back off them years later and try slap together something playable.
    TLDR: GBX didn't give a shit about the license, it was a cash grab that failed.

    • @DR3ADER1
      @DR3ADER1 6 років тому +3

      Not even that, either a Gearbox employee or a Timegate employee misspelt a crucial line in the game's code that affected the Alien AI. This one spelling error lobotomised the functions of the Aliens, as they couldn't recognise any counter tactics to use against the player. Though I still think this is just a mistake and people tend to miss a lot of things during QA testing(like all things, QA isn't 100% guaranteed to fix everything, and neither are hotfixes)
      So in essence, Gearbox didn't scrap the idea, they just messed up. And in programming, a single error can ruin the entire codex. Also, the main guys to throw shit at are actually SEGA, who left the game in Development Hell for many years.

    But then it released. And I forgot all about that pre-order.
    Long story short, GTA V also released not too long after, and the guy behind the counter asked if I wanted to transfer the money from my pre-order of Alien's Colonial Marines to GTA V.

    Some interesting facts on the issues you brought up :
    No Bullet Tracers - Technically this is not true, they do actually have tracers, but the shader used to render them is bugged and distorts soo little you can't see them. They were supposed to look like the tracer effect from the Matrix where it distorts the world. I replaced them in my mod with proper white-hot tracers like normal games
    Terrible Gun aiming - Some smart spark at Gearbox thought it was a good idea to add what they term 'Weapon Wandering' which is the simulation of you not being able to hold the gun still when aiming because of its wieght. But this system ONLY wanders the weapon (hence the name) not your viewpoint. This is why the Red Dot sight is often so far away from where the bullets go. To compound this, bullets do not come out of your gun, they come out of your character at the aim point. These two systems cannot be used together for the reasons on display in ACM. I removed this 'feature' in my mod
    Hit Detection - There is not actually any problem with the hit detection, it is entirely caused by the above weapon wandering. At long range, even just wandering a few pixels means your aim is off by meters. Only the weapon wanders, not the camera or firing point, so you adjust the camera to bring the sight in line with your target, but all you've done is move the firing point away from the target. You can't see the firing point when aiming. Absolutely terrible
    Boilers - The are programmed to ignore you if you crouch. stupid

    U are wromg about gun mechanic and hit box. Its actually advanced mechanic that other game doesnt have yet, try it its realistic. Aim down sights and gun sways from breathing and hit box is hard to hit cuz cuz thats how real is, its like realistic. You were a bit harsh i guess cuz u disnt understand it was advanced mechanicals.

    Being that this review was 7 years ago. I would agree at time of its release it needed some refinement. Since there were 3 improved updates for this game. However in order to smooth out the frames and the mechanics. There is ALOT of screen tear on this game.
    Now if you boot this game on the xbox one X. It will okay in 4K with no screen tear and be buttery smooth.
    Just sucks people had to wait for All these updates for the game to have some sort of buttery smoothness.

    Weird, I played the 360 version, and there were no accuracy or hit detection issues that I recall. Is that just an issue with the PC version? Were you playing the unpatched launch version? Or is the PC version just worse than the 360 version? I don't recall a lot of these issues you ran into it. Not that the 360 version was good.

The hit-reg is fine if you're not expecting an SMG to be accurate at long range. The gunplay is okay. It's the movement and AI that ruin it. And the annoying unskippable cutscenes. And the useless characters that follow you around and just get in the way. Anyone whose complaint is "I can't hit things, so the game is too hard" is a bot. Their I is worse than the the game's AI. They need to open their own directory and check for typos in their brain code. I've never heard "I can't hit anything" as a complaint of this game before. I've heard "It's too easy" a lot.

    If you want an action packed shooter in similar vein try Quake IV. Yes it's older, but not only does it look MILES better despite being made in 2005, it plays very solidly and has a well presented story. A very highly underrated FPS that seems like GB tried to partially copy in this game (along with fear and CoD, all of which they failed miserably at doing.)

    • @cacomeat7385
      @cacomeat7385 8 років тому +1

      It's an absolute bitch to get running on 8 and 10 properly. You have to use some weird compatibility patch just to get half the menus to work, and even then you're stuck with lowest gfx settings unless you create a cfg file that forces ultra. It's still fun after you get past the headaches but tends to show its age when it crashes or doesn't allow you to make certain menu selections (that's just a problem I ran into, might just be my shitty scratched up install disc causing the problem)

    • @cacomeat7385
      @cacomeat7385 8 років тому

    • @cacomeat7385
      @cacomeat7385 7 років тому

      I know this is a late and possible irrelevant reply, but while I do agree with you on the subject of the console advantage (even though the 8th gen pretty much got rid of plug and play), the Xbox 360 version of Quake IV is a mess. It's actually kind of funny. The game is so poorly optimized (probably running graphics that are too demanding for a 360 launch title) that the framerate will drop as low as eleven, and they didn't even bother capping the game at 30 fps; the game will literally go straight down from 60 fps to the teens. It's hilariously bad.

    • @cacomeat7385
      @cacomeat7385 7 років тому

      MRT Absolutely. My PC is pretty poor (pentium g3220 3.0 ghz dual core and gtx 650 ti 1 gb) but I can definitely understand your problem. One particular game that pisses me off is Team Fortress 2; me and a group of friends still play this game regularly, but my current setup only manages and average of 40 fps on default highest settings. The only way i can get consistent 60 fps is by making the game look like a ps2 game. However, just a couple years ago, I was getting and average of 80 FPS on the absolute highest settings. Why is this, you may ask? Because Valve fucked up the game's optimization during the past 2 years with the updates they've been pushing out. I dunno why it's so bad but I have a friend who has some stupid shitty pc that has a dual core pentium 2.4 ghz from 2010 and a radeon 6800 (probably not the right card at all, but it's some weird ati dedicated card with 512 mb of ram). AND YET ONLY RECENTLY DID THE GAME STOP RUNNING AT 60 FPS FOR HIM. Once my pc had already ceased to run the game well he was still getting decent fps despite his pc being about 1/3 of mine's power. This shows that lazy updates can make a game run like sh!t over time.

      I was playing through the campaign on Veteran and I wasn't having any trouble. Then I reached the scene with the power loader fight, it's nearly impossible. Prepare to spend several upon several hours dying. The NPC (non playable character) AI is so horrendous that they do a horrible job of fighting off the endless spawns of drone xenomorphs during the scene. You can try to shake them off but it wastes time and they surround you. Eventually, I quit and I never returned to Colonial Marines.
      Copy and paste the bullshit from COD games.
      If I'm playing an FPS game I don't want the unnecessary bullshit scenes with stealth, driving, and protecting NPCs from the sky with a view of the map.
