Just don't use Alien as a distraction while your kid is running a high fever.

It has some long term effects.

Re: The cat. That's bullshit. It's long been held that xeno reproduction requires a particular size/mass to the host to infect. Also it's a cute cat and probably the only decently drawn thing.

I hope Marvel gives up on any future stand-alone Alien comics, because this comic, as a whole, is trash.

I thought the cat was how the company knew everything, it was a spy. I guess the weird scars means its infected.

It's...not a very good comic so far.

The flame turret is goddamn fantastic against Aliens and pathogen.

Completely useless against synths though.

The same team is making a Robocop game, given how much Terminator owned it'll be good.

You forgot to add the part where the chest burster may have imprinted on the sick protagonist.

I wanna say it had a rococop with TWO guns at once and that's the only thing I can remember about it. It started off with some tv movies?

I picked up Fireteam Elite again now that they've ironed out a lot of the bugs a from launch and while it's not a good game it's pretty fun. The environments and sounds are straight out of the movies which is pretty cool. It's pretty similar to the recent Terminator game where you can tell the team behind it had a passion for the franchise.

It fun mowing down droves of bug.

If you want a good Aliens comic, read Labyrinth. Or hell, if you want something contemporaneous to Dead Orbit, read Dust to Dust.

And if you want a really bad/mediocre Aliens comic, read the current ongoing series from disney/marvel.

Fairly sure they said they wanted Glover for Predators but couldn't, so we got Fishburne instead.

Edit: Dredd owns because everything is in continuity, every single cross over. Its great.

It was a limited run games release if I remember right. I have no idea why it wasn't the usual super edition that most publishers release.

I think it also had an additional bonus of dead space 2 depending on the platform. Gonna be funny if they remake dead space 2 and it comes with dead space 3 lol

That sounds more like an interactive story than an Isolation follow up.

Seconded, but if they ever do a sequel, I'd like them to branch out a little with it since even most people who loved the original felt it went on too long and became repetitive. Many even learned to kite the AI that made it so great and terrifying. I'm not saying to turn it entirely into an action shooter but keeping the concept that these fuckers are REALLY hard to kill along with a grizzled, armed Space Marine trying to anyway (or HAVING to) would add another layer to what's already some amazing gameplay.

Multiple Aliens that are still a motherfucker to deal with but CAN BE if you're smart. You'd still have to hide, craft on the and use stealth but maybe up the action a bit. Basically, follow the Alien ----> Aliens template from the movies, preferably without the squad element unless you add a coop feature. Maybe you're the last Marine standing but you find the dead bodies of your colleagues and can loot them but ammo and health are still scarce and the LAST thing you want to have to do is try to kill one or two of these motherfuckers or get swarmed by facehuggers.

Final boss fight = The Queen, obviously, and then you've got to make it out alive.

Add in the hive awareness mechanic from Descent, could be a good balance with playing someone with the firepower to kill a bug or two.

I think an issue is that it's hard to get over how dumb they are when the space truckers in the first movie are not dumb.

Anyone hear about that Robocop: Rogue City game? It's on sale on steam and it has pretty stellar reviews. I'm sure I'll pick it up.

It's from the same people who made a terminator game a few years ago, it was pretty good too!

It would be really funny if the xenomorphs were just giant cats and if the humans just treated them like cats they wouldn't get murdered so easily.

I know everything in the movies says otherwise.

What if it's based on that kung fu tv show of into the badlands? Wu shu fights against predators.

I don't think people really get a choice to survive a xeno encounter, the best is going out on your terms like in the miner fan film.

On a related note I have discovered the key to enjoying AvP 2. I realized that AvP 2 is essentially "What if Aliens and Predators fought in Dawson's Creek" and >bam< just like that it's a super fun movie.

And if you could see the movie it had the potential to be a fun movie lol

I didn't want to bring up the What If? because it was....odd and I wanted to give it another issue or two. These are usually 4 issue arcs.

The last Aliens one was stupid and I thought was a waste or two arcs.

Predator I'm hoping leads to something fun because of the final reveal.

I've enjoyed speculating over the years about how the Space Jockies' purpose in collecting Xenomorphs was completely at odds with humanity's. Maybe they were pets or livestock, maybe the eggs and/facehuggers were a culinary delicacy and the Acheron derelict was the final resting place of a farm-to-table operation that met an unfortunate end.

This kinda happens in the old comics lol
