Ripley still survived ALIENS. It's much more realistic to have not everyone make it.
That made sense, though. Ripley survived Aliens in part because hers was the only character knowing exactly what was going on, and what they were in for. She survived because she was prepared. Newt survived because of experience, and Hicks survived because he kept his cool under fire. Vasquez got a raw deal, but she ran out of ammo at the wrong time. The people who lived deserved to live.
