different game. different company. plenty of demos have been different from the finished games.
*sighs*
it sucks when the other species team up but your species kills you on sight.. >.>
was playing as a human and i walk into a room with another human spinning around in circles trying to hit this alien running along the ceiling ( 😂 ) and he sees me, stops, and starts gunning me down while the alien calmly drops down behind him and busts his skull.
why are people so god damn stupid >.<

Yeah I never said alien was terrible.. they just seem to be at the bottom of a very good selection.. and yeah I forgot to mention the regen which is nice.. but I think it promotes a cowardly play style, which I dont think really suits the aliens persona very well
Also.. another tip.. if you land a heavy attack from the front on someone.. you can instantly go into a front-fatality... however.. I think they can mash to escape it.. but most people dont know how (I think its just hittin the melee buttons rapidly).. you can only escape front-fatality.. you're pretty much down the river without a paddle if you get lol'ed from behind
as for damage soaking.. I knew right away that they had crap for hit points.. but I did expect them to do hefty melee damage... which the predator has them beat in.. (to my dismay)
I think a nice fix would be if they made aliens lunge better than the predators (by giving it longer range or so... maybe giving the predator a small cooldown on his lunge).. aliens need a distance closer if they are in a life / death situation, IMO.. especially because once a predator has them in like a 10 to 20 yard range (I think?) he can basically lunge the living crap out of them for a free kill.. and you just get chain stunned ta death
----------------
and Nemesis lol.. anyone who believes the "zomg this is a demo / work in progress and may change for the final product" is just being naive.. especially when the release is in less than a month.. I fully expect the game to be exactly like the demo.. and I have no gripes about the demo other than the alien requiring a better lunge (if even for wall-cling mobility's sake)

as for people saying that the alien has overtly weak health i think its balanced out by the fact that its the only race of the three (actually not sure about predator) that actually regenerates health over time.
Thats a new one or i have'nt noticed it with the PC titles Alien regenerating it health
because the only way to get more health was to chomp peoples heads off.
a little bit of everything. the controls feel a bit sluggish (especially the mouse in the menu) and it seems like when they ported the game to the pc they didnt compensate for the lack of aim assist. on the consoles the aim assists allows you to at least have a chance against the aliens when they sprint if you have a steady aim but on the pc it feels to me like they move way faster than you can move your curser across the screen unless you have your mouse on max sensitivity. when an alien sprints at you it just kind of turns into a spray randomly and pray type of deal.
aside from that the game also just feels like its running more sluggishly, and the wall transitions the aliens make feel counter-intuitive on the keyboard (its already clunky enough on the console)
it comes down more to personal taste i guess than actual problems... i prefer playing on consoles and dont even have a computer that can handle any game newer than five years old so i guess if youre to run and gunning with a mouse it might be alright
lol, yeah, I think if the Aliens had some type of lunge grapple they would be the most fun to play as. The Marines seem to be the worst. The Marines are just canon fodder. Even if you were to play as a team i don't see them being that effective. They are just to slow, to weak and take only one or two hits to kill.
Although, i'm still looking forward to playing the campaign as the Marine. The Marines had the best story campaign in the second game.

agreed!
my average as the marine is 18-22 kills in ever game. the heartbeat sensor is really effing' affective for surviving as a human. also i find that its easiest to get double or triple kills as a human... use the heartbeat sensor to tell when two of the other races are in a room together, let them fight each other, and hose them both down from a distance and get a double kill. humans are really good for that.
ohhhhh and something i realized yesterday: it really pays to master the block button. like, seriously 😐 it doesnt matter what race youre playing as and doesnt matter what race youre fighting against... if you know how to use the block button you can win any hand to hand fight one on one.
