Aliens: Colonial Marines AI fixed by a single letter

[Brass Body Dave]

how did the motherfuckers who made this shit, and made the AI, and expected it to run a certain way

how did they just not...follow up and look and say "something isn't right"

 

[Mecha Meister]

Madness

Probably already came up with an excuse that blames anything but themselves.

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

I'll always remember A:CM doomed TimeGate Studios (whose Section 8: Prejudice game was actually pretty fun in multiplayer). What a mess.

Kohan 2 doomed Timegate

 

[Xater]

I am still never going to play this game, but I'd be curious to see a comparison video of the different behavior.

 

[Kasey]

This made my day.

 

[chainlinkspiral]

Yeah, I had friends at TimeGate who worked on this. It was a bit of a disaster. I remember a bunch of them holding their tongues when my other Aliens loving friend was bringing the receipts.

 

[VariantX]

Theyve out Capcpom'd Capcom right here. I actually feel bad for them now.

 

[Neptonic]

Now that's what I call QA

Not what QA does but alright

 

[Deleted member 2595]

It's not that I don't understand why it happened, it's that I can't believe such a crucial and egregious element completely slipped under everyone's noses

Click to shrink...

Yeah I get ya

Quality assurance is an interesting process and prioritises game breaking bugs, I guess the fact this issue didn't fully break the game it didn't get too much qa attention

So grim

 

[Aokiji]

Dude lmfaoooooooo no fucking way

 

[AllMight1]

Aliens Colonial Marines Tether edition for ps4 and xbox one X When?

 

[Deleted member 862]

any video of this?

 

[Leafhopper]

This is wild.

 

[Ronabo]

That is amazingly dumb.

 

[Bernd Lauert]

G E A R B O X

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

That's pretty pathetic.

 

[VorpalNonsense]

That's cool. I can't fathom how bad QA must be to let this slide permanently, but it's cool.

I also picked this up for like $3 at some point in the past figuring I might get at least a good hour out of it. With these fan updates that might actually not work out too bad.

 

[Manu]

This is simultaneously the best and worst thing I've read in a while.

 

[Deathglobe]

Damn I wanna see the comparison videos lol

 

[TubaZef]

In defense of the programmers... they probably looked through the whole code and thought it couldn't be something so stupid.

 

[Joeku]

...Is it still $2.80? Now I'd like to try this for the hilarity.

Incredible.

[Deleted member 16657]

No fucking way. What the fuck

 

[Dennis8K]

"Looks fine to me.......?"

- Gearbox

 

[Lynchian Anomaly]

This is both amazing, hilarious and distressing all at the same time.

Jim Sterling is gonna have a blast talking about this.

This is worse than that PS4 Tetris that chugged out and went to minus 10fps because you had too many friends.

 

[RochHoch]

That's hilarious.

 

[Smurf]

glorious

 

[Vorador]

I hereby declare this a whole new level of incompetence.

 

[EMBee99]

This is why you never shirk on QA, producers. NEVER.

 

[jroc74]

This is crazy

Click to shrink...

You have got to be kidding me.

Click to shrink...

I refuse to believe this is real. I refuse.

What in thee fuck...

 

[rsfour]

Man, those Alien Colonel Maureens.

 

[Deleted member 16657]

Is this the costliest typo in history?

 

[Boiled Goose]

It's amazing how this wasn't caught. AI for some reason no behaving as expected, but they probably couldn't figure out why in time and said fuck it.

 

[kittens]

this revelation is a gift, but mostly just for the laughs

 

[starfox]

borderlands 3, saves us. ; (

 

[Becks']

Absolutely mental.

 

[Dennis8K]

The best respect for customers.

 

[Drencrom]

How the fuck didn't Gearbox pick up on this mistake...?

 

[Hanbei]

This is both stupid and hilarious.

 

[Boiled Goose]

In defense of the programmers... they probably looked through the whole code and thought it couldn't be something so stupid.

Click to shrink...

They probably ran out of time is my guess and management said fuck it.

 

[Majukun]

this is why i'll never be a programmer,i'm not "tidy" enough to avoid shit like this

is there any video that shows the difference for people that don't have the game?

 

[ZangBa]

That's really interesting. So many .ini files do I have change in Duke Nukem Forever to make that better?

 

[ThroughtheVoid]

SOMEONE GET RANDY ON THE PHONE

my fucking sides

 

[Tempy]

I'm wondering how it was possible for QA not to notice the AI behaving oddly, or the AI team not being able to debug this seemingly easy-to-fix issue.
