TemplarGFX's ACM Overhaul

Early access mod review

Alright, I want to give a quick review.

Its great, I love it! The visuals look amazing, the flashlight actually has a purpose as I found myself clicking X multiple times asking "is it even on?" in the vanilla. The shading and the added gloss makes it look like amazing.

I like how the weapons are redone, and the shotgun sticks out a bit more. I played using "faster and weaker soldiers" on Ultimate badass difficulty. I thought at first this made it too easy, but I found it is harder, especially when the clip in both primaries are dry and you are force to pull out your tertiary weapon, which I rarely did in my vanilla game play on Ultimate badass.

The fact that the NPC marines and teammates actually can kill a Xenomorph now is makes it very relieving as I am not the only person to have appeared to pass the rifle coarse in boot camp. The PMCs, even having only engaged them a few times so far, have a clear change in tactics and it gives a very different feel to engaging them.

Although I have ran into a crashing point right after you rescue Bella and you run into the PMCs right after, I tried it 3 times and each time it crashes mid sentence as the first PMC runs into view and I open fire.

This crash forces me to either log out and shut down all apps or shutdown all together.

Aside from this, I really think this could revive the game. If only Gearbox and Sega gave more freedom into modifying their games.

Overall, the graphics overhaul mod is great, and it makes it feel like this game is much more of what we were promised and it makes it much more of a challenge. The graphics alone make it look like it was made only a few months ago, rather than 2 years ago. But it still has work to be done, but I have faith this will draw fans to reconsider playing this game.

Good luck to the developer, have fun to the players.
