Is it worth it for single player campaign story mode?

[MROOD]

anyone play solo with bots. just for the story like |Doom?

The story comes from the dialogue and the Intels. The game saves for you so you don't have to.

I think every third mission is very difficult. One of them i had to try many times even on easy (or normal, i dont remember), and i dont think im particularly bad at this game. At that time, my videocard was a geforce 1650. The game is good, but clearly its focus is multiplayer. I dont play multiplayer, but sometimes skirmish. IMO worth it. One problem is that at the time i played, to unlock skirmish you had to complete the campaign. Very bad decision.

Yes, I think it's a lot of fun in SP. Just know that you will most likely need to stick to Standard difficulty because of the bot skill. MAYBE Intense difficulty, if you are good at the game.

In any case, it's a lot of fun and well worth the purchase for SP alone IMO.

Just adding to this that as your skill goes up you will need to advance difficulty to avoid boredom. I play solo and am not particularly good at the game and I now find Standard absolutely yawn-worthy. I almost never feel threatened at Intense, and have been pushing some dumb builds or trying for 15 min mission times. Extreme is quite a step up and what I play with friends.

If you are not feeling any pressure while playing AFE, try the next tier. You will be tested.

As for story, I feel it's okay. It's very much Aliens. Marines, guns, shooting, corporate lore and alien backstory ending in a triumphant explosion if you win and 'critical mission failure' (everyone dies) if you don't. It's not Heavy Rain or anything but it's fine for what it is. I don't recall anyone lauding the story or brilliance of scripting presented in Vermintide or Left 4 Dead.

I do really enjoy the voice acting, I think they nailed the atmosphere, tone and jargon right to the wall to match the Aliens theme. I cannot get enough of Ko and Herrera mouthing off.
