Problem # 1 - Gearbox didn't actually make the SP portion.
[/QUOTE]
Oh. Well they seemed to be the lead developer, being the biggest name out of the bunch. So the blame falls on them.
[/QUOTE]
Although:
'Gearbox president Randy Pitchford said that "roughly 80 percent of the work on Colonial Marines is being done in-house at Gearbox, with the rest being done by outside developers."'

It's a cluster**** either way, but I was shocked to hear they outsourced the most crucial element of the game. (single player)

It's wierd to think they would do that. Hopefully they don't continue down that path. The DLC offerings for Borderlands 2 have not been totally in-house either, and they do seem a bit lacking. Not as bad as CM seems to be, but definitely rougher in quality.- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

Not saying i don't believe you but i imagine that single player would factor into this 80% of content? Is Randy just bullsh!tting?
I can't imagine them outsourcing such crucial elements.

What trash this is. Serves Sega right in saying this will be one of their core franchises they will focus on. I hope it tanks.

But they have'nt done so entirely. While BL2 was developed in-house, the DLCs have not been, not all the way. And it shows by the dip in quality.---

I'm actually enjoying it atm, been playing for 2 hours. It's funny how people praise CoD and Halo to death and yet when a different FPS comes along it just doesn't live up to their so called expectations (lawl). So far the only thing that I would actually call bad in ACM is the human Wayland AI which is just...ugh

I expect nothing good from the people who inflicted Duke Nukem on the world, so I'm not surprised. Yes, they make the Borderlands games, but that's some sort of freak accident. I've read interviews where Pitchford has claimed that Duke Nukem Forever is the modern Half Life 2.

On the lighter side of the news the Wii U version of Aliens (which ships later) will reportedly be the best, a title akin to being the tallest midget.
[/QUOTE]
Well they didn't really make DNF either, they just patched it up enough that it could be released, which is probably what really happened here, as this also had an extremely long dev time with many different studios working on it.

Do not invite me to your union. Doing so will get you ignored.
I'm thinking this might make a perfect 20 dollar purchase. I'm tempted to get it on the Wii U... just to have something to play again.- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

Well, that's quite disappointing. Especially considering that even though they were not directly responsible for that mess, it's ost likely Gearbox's name the one that will be associated with the game.
