Might even be more fun to add a mode where you play the Terminator(s) and have to chase your targets, using all your scanning poo poo or whatever to track them down.

Telltale style game where you have dialog choices. So you can manually choose gently caress YOU rear end in a top hat for every conversation

Best part about it is that it will have no actual effect on gameplay, just at some point John Connor will say something like "who's the rear end in a top hat now?" instead of something less aggressive.

I think I’m coming around on this Fireteam game. It’s actually cured me of my lifelong fear of xenos, ever since my dad let me watch Aliens way too young. Only took killing 56,000 of them.

Like it’s not perfect and it’s definitely a “budget” title, but I still had a real good time with it and it was a lot better than I expected.

Civvie-11 has a great review video for it.

I got Terminator Resistance maybe a year ago and played it just for maybe an hour. I wasn't a huge fan. I should try it again and play more.

It was a bit scary though. Just knowing those terminators are out there.

I'm also a giant pussy though as the goons who played AvP 2010 with me know.

I own Isolation but only played it for a little while. Not even seeing the alien or Joes. I watched it for a while on twitch while lying in my bed at night and that was enough for me.

I’d have to check but off the top of my head I remember endoskeletons dressed up as cops and crossing guards.

The NOW Comics run was wild; it started out all over the place and generally lovely, but then it did a story about the mission to send Kyle Reese back in time that was surprisingly great, and then they did ‘Terminator: The Burning Earth’ which was totally fantastic. The art was incredible, largely because it was the first comic book artwork by one Alexander Ross.

I read those two years ago.

Been so many different styles of Terminator stories. Any time a new movie came out things changed.

We even got a terminator dog in one.

I wanted to like it but I couldn't get past the lovely va and the shooting felt bad I think, memory is hazy. It definitely felt budget, but they for sure nailed the aesthetics of it.

One unique moment in one of the Terminator comics is what happens when three terminators have no more purpose. What do they do? Live like a human?

Nope!

One walks off into the water and the other two decide to follow. At the end all three are standing near a pier as their human skin degrades underwater

That's it, that's how they end by choice.

Yeah I really felt a "Terminator" vibe which was great. They even had the music which is 100% necessary. Just a great feeling. You're right about it feeling budget though. I still need to give it another chance but I don't have a lot of patience for games anymore. I'm old and want my instant gratification.

I was unfortunate enough to buy the incredibly lovely 1991 Terminator 2: Judgement Day game for PC. Graphics looked impressive on the box art. But it was both incredibly boring garbage andtoo short. This is a longplay of the game. I know the video is under 12 minutes long, but that was the entire game. All of it. And this video contains a false start, the completion run of the ENTIRE game is from 3 minutes to 11 minutes. That's it, 8 minutes of gameplay total, in almost complete silence apart from a couple of sound effects.

I spent actual money on that pile of poo poo. It's been 30 years and I'm still salty. I defy anyone to watch that 8 minutes of gameplay and find any joy in it.

Yea that was my reasoning for dropping it really, too much other top-tier stuff I could be playing. Forgot about the music though! That was also really good.

Terminator Resistance was a budget title with corresponding production values but it really came through that the devs were huge fans of the movies and IP. It was nowhere near perfect but it was a labor of love that I enjoyed all the way through.

UGGGGH. New Marvel Alien comic. New story arc. Same artist.

The premise this time is that it takes place on a planet where a bunch of luddites are about to shutdown terraforming equipment as part of a colony settlement deal. Suddenly the last scheduled cargo ship crashes into their holy garden! Then Aliens start to happen.

So this cargo ship manages to hit atmosphere with, according to one character, "their heat shields down," and crashes like it was an airplane into the ground. Despite a mostly unguided, orbital crash, the contents of the ship are protected such that a woman in her underwear can run out of a relatively intact xeno nest to grab the protagonist (who is questioning the luddite business because she has a terminal illness science can cure) and burst an alien.

Followed by this panel to really hammer home we have Aliens.

^^ haha nice

Man I tried out the "I Made a Bad Call" challenge card on Fireteam last night. It disables all weapons and gear, so all you have is a pistol. No turrets or class powers or anything. Only just made it through by the skin of my teeth, even on the easiest difficulty - I had to run from the drone and dive into the elevator. The challenge cards are a nice way to mix things up.

Gonna play for a bit now if anyone wants to join - friend code on steam is 77826282.
