I have played this game religiously for about 14 or so years now and it pains not just myself but everyone else who enjoys this masterclass game to see the state its in. Bots have completely taken over casual servers. This means that the main servers used by a majority of the playerbase both new and old are rendered practically unplayable.

We only get about 3-4 "content" updates a year. A handful of maps and cosmetics, bug fixes if we are lucky. Nothing to help with general game health or longevity for the games life span. Bots with all sorts of script kiddie hacks plague the game. Sniper bots with aimbot essentially shutting down games. Our playerbase consists of more bots than real players now while Valve continues to give us the silent treatment.

This has been ongoing for many years. Valve promised us better in the past, but left us behind anyways. It's easy to shrug off the community and the game itself as nothing but an old game that needs to die off but if it happened to us, it can happen to your favorite game too. This is more than just saving "our" game, this is about setting a precedent, that it isnt okay to continue to ask your playerbase to spend money while giving nothing in return and letting the game slip into such disarray.

If you are new or returning to this game, it simply isnt a good time right now, not unless Valve finally addresses these issues. We want the bots gone first and foremost. We believe we still deserve proper content updates as well. New Weapons, Balance changes, and more. Things that are expected from other games but seem to be non existent for us despite this being exactly what we used to get back in the day. This is about raising our standards as a community and as consumers. We all deserve better and so do you.

Valve, fix your ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game. - Sincerely, literally everyone still playing this over decade old game.

All though on the short side (about 30 minutes), this mod is seriously impressive when it comes to map design. Great attention to detail, the maps feel like something straight from Valve. Some really neat sequences happen through out as well (starting an alarm causing a dropship to appear, Antlion Gaurd smashing elevators, etc). Highly recommend if you just need a quick HL2 itch.

Early Access Review
If you are a fan of Ridley Scott's Alien franchise, you will love SBTF. SBTF is incredibly fun (most of the time). The game revolves around following the objective of collecting datacores, saving civilians, disabling the reactor, escaping alive, and of course, killing xenomorphs.

The game is extremely high stress and sometimes downright terrifying. Power can go out at anytime, Xenos kill you incredibly quickly, and the general ambience of the game feels exactly like Alien in the best way possible. The game has randomly generated maps meaning it always feels a tad different. You have turrets, fences, and of course your own guns to defend you from the xenos but ultimately the odds are against you.

The multiplayer in this game is fun but not perfect. Exciting for the fact that there is player collision and friendly fire, meaning you must be extremely careful of positioning, of course its also just fun playing with friends. Nothing better than mowing down waves of xenos with your buds. There is one small drawback as of right now, its a bit bugged at times. The game does not perform will under poor connectivity, this is expected of most games but SBTF seems to react worse than others. Mega stuttering, visual bugs, and all sorts of questionable scenarios happen. It isn't common and seems to mostly involve the specator camera but it can still be a bit annoying.

Graphically its nothing impressive, but thats okay. The ambience and lighting make up for that 100%. Not to mention that because of the quality of the graphics, the game can run on a wide variety of systems. Though the stability can become questionable when tons of xenos are introduced.

Overall I highly recommend Space Beast Terror Fright, there is a lot to offer here for any Alien fan or any fan of co-op shooters. It may not be a game you play consistently over many months, but it will be something you visit on occasion for a good space marine experience.

Ignore the fact that I have .4 hours in this game, thats all you need to realize how absolutely abysmal this turd is. Brought to you by the same clown who made LawBreakers, Cliffy B. Once again making a late attempt to cash in on a popular genre with as little effort as possible, while also trying to market the game as full of "badass-itude" nonsense. "Its in early access, of course its unfinished!" Why even bother releasing it in its current state? Is this really what you want to be the first impression of the game? Runs like trash, plays like trash, and brings almost nothing new to the table, all while being super obnoxious with its overdone 80's theme and Borderlands styled garbage humor. Stop doing this.

Gearbox always seems to have a history of ruining good things. What was a game with great potential, quickly died, and became no more than the average survival/craft/garbage bore of a game. Now, of course a lot of this games troubles were happening before Gearbox showed up, but this just rubs salt in the wound. A doubled price tag, an already shoddy business practice, *cough* pre-order bonuses *cough*, and many, MANY, broken promises. Add all this to the mix, with the fact that the game is now being developed around the console version, despite the pc players being the original testers, and you have probably the biggest ♥♥♥♥ you to pc gaming, in quite some time. Rest in peace, We Happy Few, don't let the door hit your ass on the way to hell.

CS:GO Review
When will these hackers stop? I just bought a game last week called "Counter Source: Global Office" but was SHOCKED to find out that it was full of hackers and modders who took over the game and made it extremely violent, even making it so you can shoot other players with guns! I immediately sent a letter to the CEO of Counter Strike, "Game Newell" and expressed my utter disgust. Mr. Newell if you're reading this, I want you to know that I've already contacted the cyber police and tweeted DIRECTLY to Barack Obama (President of the United States and America) to alert him of this unacceptable behavior.
