we also have to remember the endless masses of total casuals, grandads who started gaming 3 years ago just after they learned that not all mice are eaten by cats,
or the people who think cod on playstation 3 is a war simulation used for army training, cause they worked on a farm during hitlers puberty,
and some such other distant relatives of homo sapiens that roams the internet today.

Nah, these drones read the reviews. In fact, these are the only people that actually take reviews seriously. And once they see the 4.0s and 5.0s, they'll stay away from it. That's why 9.0s on Halos and CODs are so dangerous. |

The funny thing is DNF is a better game than this  (IMO)
TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."
"...like nothing else on television."
"a phenomenon."

Indeed Consolitis, it was ugly and everything felt cheap, but there was more variety in gameplay (with puzzles/and some levels with decent design), better pace and the silly humour that I like. Actually I had more fun with DNF than with, let's say, Crysis 2.
(and I'm not kidding ).

 I know...I'm definitely a rare exception. I was prepared for the worst possible scenario so the game's roughness didn't surprise me, and even managed to overlook the laughable visuals and dat consolish feel.
Guess I approached it with the right spirit (probably the booze helped also ) so in the end it was a good crazy ride for me. |

As for their catalogue, I'd say Opposing Force and Pro Skater 3 was good but that was a looooong time ago. |
They just ported THPS3, they weren't the original developers.
And while Opposing Force was one of the best expansions ever, Blue Shift was very subpar. Sure initially BS was a small campaign they added to the cancelled HL Dreamcast port, but it was so short, generic, bland, etc that now that I think of it Aliens gives me BS flashbacks.
They also ported that James Bond game to the PC and they removed all cool driving sections and more. Then again I think the console versions used an entirely different engine that Gearbox had to port to the HL engine for the PC version, so some things couldn't easily be recreated 1:1. Still.. meh, that was disappointing, whether they were at fault or whoever chose them for the port.
Gearbox has always been a B quality developer.

I just HAD to post it... from gearbox forum
"No I did not play it yet, I ordered mine for Wii-U, that is the console ACM is made for. So I dont understand how people can judge a game based off the PC version or some other console when Randy has said the game is being designed to take advantage of the Wii-U. Im not going to play a toned down version of ACM, which I feel from the interviews is what the other versions are, Im going to play it the right way on the Wii-U as its intended."
WHAT THE $@#$@# ??? buahhahahahaha

first time ive seen it.
some observations:
one: i always thought the gameplay trailers made the game look ugly... its actually astonishing that the real game looks SO much worse... id already mentally adjusted to the realisation that its always been ugly, but i dont know how ill cope that its been even further downgraded 
two: why are they gushing over how nice it used to look? it never looked nice. ever. it certainly seems to look BETTER than the finished game, but it was never, ever, a good looking game. that bit where they compare explosions near the beginning, when the dropship gets hit by a grenade it looks like... they trailer version still looked pretty ugly. better, yes, but still pretty shit.
and then the comparison in the room where you could see the outside landscape. when they were gushing about how it USED to look, i thought 'fuck yeah, gonna see how it was even better than the shitty trailer i saw'.. but no.. its the same trailer i saw where it looked bad, with that bright red misty plasma type shit that apparently passes for blood on the screen, and the flat green blobby paint that passes for aliens blood.
but the fact that it actually looks even worse in the finished game. shit.. its like theyve gone from 2005 down to 2000,
the game never, EVER, looked good. ever. even the screenshots that people here were gushing over wayyy back didnt look very good.

Once upon a time I thought Randy Pitchfird and gearbox were pretty awesome. Those days are long gone. They are just another lazy, sloppy developer..

Randy is pretty good at PR, he comes across as being genuinely enthusiastic about a game (perhaps overly so) which makes me think that he does actually care, but that might all be part of his masterplan.

would someone who genuinely cared ever have released aliens cm?
i cant blame him for dnf, because all gearbox did was patch together the shit that 3dr had done like some fucked up gaming version of frankensteins monster, and boot it out the door and be fucking done with it...
but no one can ever argue that that randy guy gives even the smallest fuck about gamers or game making when his company produces something as fuck ugly and as poorly made as aliens cm.
its just hype and marketing. "yo dawg, i looove games bro, FUCKIN LOVE EM!! buy my gamez dawg, im just like you, I LOVE GAMEZ!!11" - he doesnt actually really care about gaming...
its basically the same shit as gabe, except gabe actually follows through thanks to some actual talent in his company. well atleast he did, before he threw all that away in favour of hats and microtransactions, but i think you get my point. this pitchford guy is all hype purely for the sales, but his team have no talent to back it up.
actually i thought of a better example. hes basically like bobby kotick, if kotick actually started to give half a shit about his image to gamers neither man gives a fuck about gaming or gamers, just their wallets.

Nah kotick are all business talk, since when does he do PR well? Pitchford is more like the PR guy for EA / Bioware. The one with "awesome and button connected now" bullshit.
