Aliens: Colonial Marines receives patch and the world rejoices

Sega and Gearbox have released the first patch since Aliens: Colonial Marines’ initial release for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. The patch fixes quite a few bugs including preventing players from walking and falling outside of maps, preventing Ripley’s flamethrower from continuously firing without player input and helping NPCs find their way to the next objective without getting lost or stuck.

Unfortunately, this patch is probably too little too late as most people have likely given up or passed on the game. Plus, it still doesn’t fix major problems like players not having their progress saved or just making the game actually good.

Anyone still playing Aliens: Colonial Marines or planning to pick the game up sometime? Hit the jump to read the full patch list.
