There's been threads of games that bombed. I was personally hoping it would be decent, at least AvP decent (though I knew shrugging off Rebellion for this game was a no-no). The pics had decent atmosphere but shit, this generation visuals better not be a problem. Cool screen shots don't impress me anymore. Then the vids came and the robotic animation everybody called out was apparent. This simply didn't look like a game that look years to make (in production even before 2009's AvP).
Pretentiously making Horde Mode week-1 DLC, something I think writes itself into an Aliens game and was out-da-box in AvP, wasn't a good move either. Just bad moves all around. Sega's not in a place to be slipping up like this with a franchise like that.
