I'm not being a fanboy, but saying "it borrowed from other concepts" is just a dumb statement. Everything borrows from everything else, it's how things work. I've heard people say something as stupid as "Humans vs. Aliens lol generic, going to go play starship troopers hurr". I'm not trying to attack your opinion, but I am asking you to elaborate on what concepts it "borrows" from.
They do, except this is just like some cookie cutter storyline.
Overall Aliens v. Humans is a good game/sci-fi theme. But the game can be completed just by pressing buttons, you don't really have any choices to make. No real dynamic characters either. Not to mention the endings on 2 and 3 weren't that great. Victim to over hype.
"Wow, aliens attacked the humans, now they are out for a lasted ditch effort to protect humanity oh no they invaded earth, oh wait parasites, oh no treachery!" It's not the whole concept that is unoriginal, its the way it has been presented. You attacked my opinion based on the fact you like the game, and I was not impressed. I didn't state any reasons that I have for me not liking the game's storyline other than I thought it wasn't that great, you put those words in my mouth. I think that does a pretty good job at showing you "attacking" my post for not agreeing with your anticipation/excitement.
To its credit however, game play was fun, storyline was meh.
Example:
Armor was a better story than
Starship Troopers, of course one precedes the other. They both have similar concepts, except Armor does a better job at portraying humanity/futility of war than
Starship Troopers does. Of course Hollywood likes making books into crappy movies and they did a bang up job with
Starship Troopers.
Please throw more $3 words at me in a post that doesn't reflect what you originally stated. U MAD?
