We need a Alien game with replayability

[Sorcerer117]

Today i literally finished everything from Alien on steam, even Arma III mods.
And the replayability of official alien games are really low.

This one is the closest, but the missions are all the same.

I really whish they make a alien game like Mass Effect (Crucible) and Mechawarrior 5, with replayability of missions.

i think the original plan for the game was to deliver something coop sandbox. Like a scenario with a real big map with random objs popupping, common OTAGO to use to redeploy the team in case of retreat and other stuff like saving ppl around etc.
But something happened with license, sadly.

Everything that have Xenos in the plot, must pass through Disney\Fox... aaaaand is a long long pain in the ass.

There are Arma Alien mods??

I think the most replayability I got out of Avp classic multiplayer, but yeah, in general, they do tend to be low.

DARK ORIGIN and ESCALATION (which is a little better)

I made a topic in Alien Fireteam, and it can also fit this game as well.

I don't know why they drop Aliens game so abrupt. They don't release DLCs, expansions, nothing, they release then they fix stuff for a year and "bye bye".

Predator Hunting Grounds, they keep making dlcs for the game and compare with aliens games, they do very poorly. Slightly better than Aliens Colonial Marines, that everyone hates (i dont, btw, but generaly speaking)

I know its a niche but man, can we have more stuff, there is more people that likes Alien.

Btw, this game is the closest we get from the Comics.
Anyway, just my two cents.

I wish we get more stuff, specially with replayability, and that is singleplayer/offline.

Sadly, it seems to most developers that they don't see multiplayer and replayability as mutually exclusive.

This is most likely it. Fireteam Elite had DLC missions and such, but aside from licensing issues I imagine giving it to small devs hurts the possibilities for future content as well. Sadly, both games would benefit from more support with bug fixes and additional content.

Really?

I'm having fun with a 'No Sentry Guns & No Sniper' run right now.
The missions might be the same, but it sure plays different.

Guys, as i already said, is all about license.
Disney \ Fox gives the devs limited time license to deliver stuff.
Any content (From the 1KB little patch bug fixing to the 10GB DLC) MUST pass through the approvation of Disney and Fox. So, i bet that recent Alien games did not had their licenses renovated.

Also, add the poor sales at launch and the skill issue of DevTeam that after 4 months of life the game still has big bugs unfixed.
