Are you getting Bulletsorm or Killzone 3?

Neither.
Although i do like Killzone to a degree, i never finished the second game. (And i'm occasionally playing the first on my PS2 when i'm in the computer room, as my PS2 is hooked to a small TV beside my monitor) and i don't feel there's any point in getting the third game before i've completed the second. Multiplayer isn't all that important to me and the main game can't be that much different from its predecessor, except for advancing the story and one or two quirks, like the jetpack section and some minor refinements. It's not worth dropping £40 just yet.
I'm not purchasing Bulletstorm, as i felt the demo was somewhat lackluster. It didn't really feel like an FPS, it felt like a Tony Hawk game gone a bit weird. I don't like the whole "score points for crazy kills" system. I find it a huge pain in the arse to repeatedly come up with elaborate ways to kill things. Sure it's novel the first couple of times, but then you realise the whole game is built around this mechanic, and it just feels tired and forced. I didn't like the grapple or the slow-mo effect from said grapple or kicking someone. I tried to be 'badass' and kick a guy down a hole, but the slow-mo effect had him ever so slowly falling to his demise before it wore off, that i wasn't sure if he'd fall down the hole and actually die at all. It just felt incredibly awkward. I prefer a fast paced, no holds barred shoot 'em up. I was looking for something like the original Painkiller title, i guess. I didn't get that. I got some kind of weird Gears of War meets Tony Hawk hybrid. Some of the discomfort might also be down to it using the Unreal engine, as i associate first person shooter games using that engine with Unreal Tournament as i used to play it extensively, and it's a far cry from that. I just didn't like it.
So instead my £40 has gone to a myriad of budget titles and second hand games that i would have otherwise overlooked. And i couldn't be happier.

Yes.
Oh wait, it's a choice between the two? Bulletstorm no doubt, Killzone 3's beta seemed exactly the same as Killzone 2, and I wasn't overly impressed. Bulletstorm I...I enjoyed.

Bulletstorm, no question. I don't have a PS3, I don't want a PS3, and Killzone 3 is a PS3 exclusive, which I didn't care for in the first place.
Yeah there were a lot of complaints about this on the KZ forums.. GG (Guerrilla Games) will probably give them more stamina but not unlimited sprint, and tone down the shotgun. My advice to you is to:the_hoffs_ego said:
1. Play as a tactician who can use the spot and Mark Ability to highlight enemies on screen periodically (even disguised infiltrators)
2. If not a tactician, always look at your mini map. Infiltrators (even disguised) will not be a green dot on the radar and chances are when a guy is sprinting full speed towards you hes trying to gouge your eyes out. ;D
Bulletstorm and Homefront I have preordered right now. Duke Nukem Forever and Pokemon White are on my list, too. Only Killzone game I've played is the PSP one, and I might try 3, but doubt it. I'm not a huge fan of FPS on consoles.
I'm most likely going to be getting Bulletstorm after the price drops a bit. The demo was fun and the whole thing looks just retarded enough for me to forgive the fact that it's retarded, but Portal 2 and Dead Space 2 are the the only games I'm going to be buying right away this year. I'll most likely be giving Killzone 3 a pass, though; other than the fact that it has a jetpack, it just doesn't look that interesting.
I'm not getting either, first, because I don't have a PS3 (for Killzone 3) and second, because I don't have the money.
I'm still eagerly waiting for Brink, in part because I already preordered it like 6 months ago and it gets released a day before my birthday =D
I may get Bulletstorm when the price lowers a bit.

Similar plan for me. I also spent 80+ hours in KZ2 multi and KZ3 I can already tell feels alot better.Ignatz_Zwakh said:
I see bulletstorm as the fun but potentially repetitive shooter worth a rental or cheap purchase before re-selling.
KZ3 will be a stayer for me. Can't wait. Kill the ISA dogs!
Neither.
Both games make my face go "meh".
Killzone 3 just represents the bland conformist directions most games seem to take now (though it looks pretty), and I am almost positive BulletStorm is not worth that 60 bucks I'd have to put down.
Big year for gaming, not gonna get ahead of myself.
