Why I dislike AVP and AVPR

@craigmore I never thought of that before lol, wow the avp films begin to dwindle into noexistence more and more.

ahhh... those good old days before the AVP movies... [img]http://media.smithsonianmag.com/images/Perception-Sweat-Tears-631.jpg[/img]

The Predalien, for me, is the epitamy of what's wrong with AVP......The Predators of film and comic fame have dreadlocks that they themselves twist and tie off...this was established in one of the AVP novels, [i]AVP: WAR[/i] nthat centered around a woman that joined the predator ranks and learned to fight and hunt as they do: Machiko Noguchi..... Now, what I'm getting at is just how stupid it is to design an alien born of a predator that naturally has its own dreadlocks upon being born....I'm sorry, but that's a joke........

@David 1 - Yeh that always made me laugh. I used to love it when you decapitated someone with the pred's dart gun or disc and he'd do the human imitation laugh. I used to love it when that happened.

@David 1 It's the part I remembered most lol Using the cloaking devices for different heat signatures as the pred I did constantly purely out of fanboyness, even if it was unessentail at that current part in the game lol

The one and only thing I visually liked from the AVP movies was the PredAlien as it was introduced in the comic and games and was cool being seen brought to life. However, the fact it could orally lay eggs and was like a pred-alien praetorian thing I found a bit crappy. Apart from that, yeh, the films are still sh*t imo.

Games are good, scary. The one like the most AVP 2 marine gold edition.

Space Jockey - Chr1s: ahhhh, true. I loved to mess around with the heat vision. and loved the way the civilians went "no, no, no... guh guh" lol.

Space Jockey - Chr1s: "I agree with you on avp2, eating your way out of your host as a chestburster was kinda cool etc," A-AH!!!! I loved that part in the game. eating the way out was grand

i can't wait to play colonial marines, it's going to be supreme

Tbh disliking AVP and AVPR doesnt require reasons to dislike, they define crap. The games were pretty good, I agree with you on avp2, eating your way out of your host as a chestburster was kinda cool etc, The films are cheesy, popcorn poo, just hollywood spinning money.

I don't have a computer that good -.-"

SJ: do you remember when we were young? There were flowers of many colours... and trees... and birds flying and singing... Then came those goddam AVP movies... it was the end I tell ya... the end!!!! wait just a second... I need to change me diaper... MARYYYYYYYY!!!!!

Craig: True. I even found the comics to be "interesting" at best. I had one where the alien is worshipped. And if I'm right one of the scenes from that comics made into Alien 4, the scene where a guy gets "foreheadbursted"

their was an extremely good game on PS1....called alien resurrection.....even with those dated graphics it was very scary to play....but extremely unforgiving......a very challenging game....the atmosphere and general environments was just perfect tho!

my fav part of the AVP2 game: [img]http://www.planetavp.com/images/avp2screenshots/avp2chestburster1.jpg[/img]

I think dark horse comics derailed a bit with " Alien vs predator vs terminator" and "Alien vs predator vs superman" or " Batman and Superman vs Predators".

The comics I have follow an alternate reality of hicks and newt and they survive alien 3 and encounter a military operation to control xeno's as well as encountering a badly visualised Space Jockey who plans to bio-ravage earth. I think I have the AVP omnibus collections volume 1 and 2. The stories were quite odd for some of them.

@David 1 Wow talk about nostalgia. That game had moments of raw brilliance and terror. I remember the alien campaign involving resucing an empress queen alien who has been captured by a weyland yutani android exec.

SJ - Chr1s: *sigh* ... and now look at us... old farts moaning and ranting about AVP movies... time goes by... lol

@ David 1 Sounds about right lol I remember being so hyped about the avp movie...wow was i let down. Ah well at least I thoroughly enjoyed prometheus, i couldnt complain on that one.

SJ: < mind you that little by little I shorten your name... lol whhaaaaatttt????? speak louder you old fart!!! I can´t hear you!!!!

@D (talk about that for name abbreviation old timer lol)

@David Lol, wow great age analogy. Yeh the coming of the avp movies truly did act as a sign to the dark days. Gone was iconic horror, to be replaced by B-Movie, hollywood cheese that left a sour aftertaste

SJ: ahhh, I remember going blind by the sheer horror of the Predalienjockey... the horror... the horror...

the predalienjockey??? Wtf is that?

its what is coming next before the prometheus porn version

*shakes head* Oh dear lol

lol. ,,/ x_x ,,/

I just replay AvP2 Gold, loved it. Weyland Android was such a schmuck. The movies were on par with the Resident Evil movies... I really enjoy bad cinema. In fact I have bad cinema weekends once a month... do my art work and watch and listen to all the great action and dialogue. Why did AvP suck so bad; they took aliens for granted, like foxes to the hounds... they (the Aliens) are so much more than targets to collected around one's neck and be declared a adult Predator...
