Now that's a blast from the past.

I used to play that online with some of my friends when we were in our teens back in the day.

Good times.



I'm not that keen on the Primal Hunt expansion pack though.

The campaigns were far too short and over all it didn't really add anything new to the core game imo.

It was amazing for it's time. Still scary today.

I still haven't played Primal Hunt yet, but a lot of people feel the same way you do from what I've seen. Regardless I'd still like to some day play through the campaigns of it though.

Imagine if it had today's A I? It was the only reason I bought a Jaguar.

Doom was great on it too.

This movie is a fun action sci fi horror that receives way too much hate imo.

Yep. Here's my favorite scenes:





And who could forget this:

Admittedly, it's not the worst movie in conception. The premise isn't half bad and the makeup and production design and effects are top notch, it's the script, performances, and direction, that hurt it the most. I don't even think the decision to make it PG-13 hurts it that much, but it certainly doesn't help.

I thought it was an R when it originally came out? I know the first film was PG-13 when it was released in cinemas

This film is more centric on being a Predator fan film with a bunch of Aliens in it as the main enemy.

If it's looked at from this angle, the movie is a lot better then it gets credit for and Wolf is one of the most badass preds produced in the whole franchise. I just wish they didn't take the scene where that army chic was mowing down xeno's with the machine gun.


Btw, PG-13 theater cut/R uncut both on blu-ray.

I loved that game but after you get the radar that lets you "see" them, it lost a lot of its effectiveness for replay since it revealed the simplistic AI. Still it was an excellent first time play.

I've never been able to get through more than the first 40ish minutes of this movie. It's trash.

[levcore]

It's a crappy Alien and Predator movie but for fans of mindless trashy sci fi horror it certainly delivers the goods, it's just a fun monster movie. The VFX hold up nicely and it never slows down, great pacing.

Sorry, I was talking about the 2004 film. Requiem is dogshit.

You could tell the directors were huge Predator fans. Much like the first AVP was more of an Alien centric film

You are correct. AVP was pg-13. AVP2 was R-rated

Believe it or not but they were even bigger ''Aliens'' fans.

[Michael1989]

Watched it when it first came out and thought it was bad. Fast forward to a couple weeks ago I gave it another chance and it really is a bad film. Nothing remotely fun about it. One of the worst big franchise films Ive seen

Exactly this, every word.

I like both AvP movies and would buy them again in a heartbeat should they ever get an UHD release.
