Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2

Early impression review: First 2 hours playing everything is better than the first one! Graphics are better. Alien behavior is way more aggressive and unpredictable. 4 man teams are frantic if you have friendly fire on. The jump-scares are so much better and the level design is darker and more immersive. Will report back and add any problems as I play further.

Played the first game and had a blast with my friends, but this one? It’s an absolute letdown. From what I played, it feels like the game has been heavily influenced by a lot of the trends that have crept into modern gaming, and unfortunately, it takes away from what made the first game so enjoyable. One of my biggest issues is the constant focus on the “girl boss” type of character, which feels forced rather than natural to the story or setting. Another major disappointment is the graphics and map design. Considering there are five years between the two games, I expected to see a much bigger improvement. Instead, the environments don’t feel like a significant step up from the first game, which makes the sequel feel surprisingly dated for a game released this much later. The NPCs are another problem. They don’t seem to treat the Xenomorphs like the serious threat they’re supposed to be. There’s very little sense of fear, urgency, or desperation from the people around you. Instead, it often feels like everyone is just going about their day dealing with an ordinary pest problem. These are supposed to be Xenomorphs—one of the most terrifying creatures in sci-fi—and yet the game rarely makes them feel like an actual threat. Maybe things improve later on, but based on my time with it, I came away seriously disappointed. The first game gave me exactly the kind of Aliens experience I wanted. This one just doesn’t feel like it understands what made its predecessor fun—or what makes the Xenomorphs terrifying in the first place.

Also.... nach den ersten 3 Stunden kann ich jetzt schon sagen, es ist fast 1 zu 1 wie der erste Teil. Es ist in erster Linie eine Spiel für Alien-Fans. Alle anderen sollten es erstmal probieren ob es was für sie ist. Man darf nichts besonderes erwarten (Grafik, Gameplay usw.), dass wird sicher alles noch gefixt/geupdatet (welches Spiel läuft denn von Anfang an heut zu Tage 100% rund? FAST KEINS). Aber es macht Spaß einfach zu ballern und die Aliens in Massen zu killen. Eine Empfehlung für jeden Alien-Fan

前作を遊んだので今作も楽しいのかな 前作と比べて新しくなったのかなーと買ってみましたが・・・ 正直、1持ってたらそっちでも十分な気がした 全体的にもっさりとした感じとか作品からして暗いシーンが多く見づらい、とかは置いておいたとして 途中でホストが切断されて再読み込みなったりすると開くはずのドアが開かず進行不能になるバグがあるのはいただけない。 この出来に6,490円（40周年エディションだと9,130円）は高い。 遊びたい人はセール対象になったら、買う、とかのほうが自分の中で腑に落ちるかも。。。 I played the previous game, so I wondered if this one would be fun too. I bought it thinking it might be newer and better compared to the previous entry, but… Honestly, if you own the first one, that feels like enough. Setting aside things like the overall sluggish feel and the many dark scenes that are hard to see — which seem to be a deliberate artistic choice — there's an inexcusable bug where if the host disconnects mid-game and it reloads, a door that should open won't open, making it impossible to progress. ¥6,490 (or ¥9,130 for the 40th Anniversary Edition) is too expensive for this quality. If you want to play it, it might sit better with you to wait for a sale before buying...

An unworthy sequel! A soulless copy of the original, partly with poorer graphics. Game is completely missing the Alien atmosphere.

Aliens: Fireteam Elite 1.1 Its actually insane to charge $50 for this when its a glorified mission pack at best, except, its even worse than that because you're also required to regrind your way through the classes again. Lacks basic features like text chat in a coop game, has very questionable optimization, and just in general feels unpolished and clunky to play. I just really don't know what the ♥♥♥♥ they've been doing for the past 5 years because it certainly hasn't been making a good game.

Игра дешёвая, как портовая шлюха, поэтому я на питал иллюзий по поводу её качества, но очень ждал т.к первая часть мне понравилась. По факту, это та же первая часть, но на 5 анриле, новой сюжеткой и 4-ым игроком в команде. Жидкий обсёр с региональной ценой на старте, но сейчас ценник вполне приемлемый, я бы советовал покупать на скидке, которая не заставит себя долго ждать. Я купил чтобы успеть поиграть с живыми игроками, пока игра не сдохла через месяц, как было в прошлый раз)

This game is actually very good. Don't listen to the grievers. If you liked the first one, you will like this one as well. It works and feels exactly the same way, just with 10 times as much stuff to unlock. They really increased variety by several notches. Levels are great, enemies are fun to kill, and the overall fun factor for a coop shooter like this is definitively present. Just approached it like the first one. Go solo first and level up a few roles and weapons on normal difficulty. Most stuff is locked behind missions and you should unlock it first before going coop. Marauder and duelist were my first choices. Some of the other classes are no fun to play solo but you will realize that after 10 minutes into the mission. Missions always follow the same pattern: Activate something, shoot enemies, rinse and repeat until you see a sentry for pickup. That means tower-defense-time, and end of the mission. But the first one worked exactly the same way... The game runs absolutely solid on my rig, above 80 FPS on 4K ultra with DLSS on quality. There are some slight dips when dozens of enemies crawl out of the cracks at the same time, but that is to be expectd. However, there are a few things that feel a little off. The characters and facial animations look really bad, some voice actors are terrible, and a lot of dialogues are absolutely unworthy of an Alien title. It's also a strange choice to make almost everyone of importance on deck female. I don't mind at all but it sticks out immediately. But this does not ruin the overall experience at all because it's not about the story and the characters but about killing aliens and synth on higher difficulties with some capable friends.
