Bulletstorm...WHY?

[Autohellion]

I usually like the games epic puts out but i don't get why shooting a random baddie in the ass 4598309 times and then listing to a 12 year old swear is so awesome.

Watch and learn:

Thanks Mercury i havent seen those before, most of my info came from their trailers and website. Its seems to actually have some semblance of a story compared to what all the adds show.

Did you not play Unreal Tournament? Another great game that Epic made? That game, though it tried to have a real story line in Unreal Tournament 3, is all about fast combat, sick weapons, and wicked maps. It doesn't try to have a deep story line, it's all about having fun. I'm all for it, I'm not losing my shit for it like some people are, but I'll defend it that it's supposed to just be for fun, and if you claim you usually like Epic games, then I'm not sure how you can forget about Unreal Tournament, their bread and butter.

Yes I Know those games had a BIG emphasis on multiplayer that this does not have.Thats one of my biggest worry's about this game it that the few tricks it has are going to be so overdone by the end,like the kick and the "get over here!" style blue grapple thingies.

Well, see, I have a theory about that. It's a little crazy, but stay with me. It's because....THEIR OPINIONS ARE DIFFERENT FROM YOURS.

It's strange, I know. It takes a while to get used to, but once you do, the internet makes a lot more sense.

Way to win the thread jackass award there donkey! Get it jackass=Donkey He-He!

Thank you all for your opinions, its given me some to think about. Thanks again!

Because its FUN. remember fun? its not trying to the next best thing since sliced bread, and it knows it wont be. its for enjoyment.

Because it's loud, dumb, obnoxious, and FUN. It's stupid in a good way and is trying to remind people that FPS' used to have a certain spark in them that has been lost in recent years with the constant barrage of "realistic", "gritty", or what have you shooters.

This and Crysis 2 are the only two shooters that I am excited for because of how creative and original they feel. Both game emphasize some sort of creative aspect of the player and it gives the gameplay a lot of flavor that you just don't get in these samey shooters we have now.

Is the story going to be stupid? Yea, but I guarantee it's going to be the "so stupid it's awesome" instead of the "so stupid, this sucks" kind of way. It's just one big dumb action movie of a game and it's self awareness give it charm and doesn't make the player roll their eyes at any sort of attempt at being taken seriously.

It's going to be a roller coaster ride of awesome, but if you don't like the big, dumb, and loud type of shooters then you can just go play your Call of Duties or whatever.

Sure, it will be fun for the first couple hours, but I doubt it will last. Kick this guy! Laser whip that guy! Do both! Repeat. Should be a good rental.

There is'nt to many games that do this sort of thing,a layed back kill-a-thon. The sort of thing where you go FWOOOOAH when you get a kill.

Gamers had enough with childish propaganda shooters and the best way to rebel against this is to play childish pooping shooters.

I've been getting into a little bit of anime lately, and I decided to go away from the darker tones of Fullmetal Alchemist and Elfen Lied to something a bit more light-hearted. So what do I watch? The first two episodes of something I'd barely heard of called Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. The show's as fucking crazy as its name. What's so fun about it, though, is how freaking crazy over the top looney it gets, and I've only seen the first two episodes just now.

Bulletstorm has the same idea. Fuck all this realism and shit, that's for wussies, it's time to just go guncrazy and do something way over-the-top with no restraints to realism or what-have-you. If you don't understand the appeal of this, then Bulletstorm is not for you. That's perfectly fine with me. Just realize that there's an appeal here that hasn't been filled by many games in recent years, save for maybe Borderlands.

You should watch Fooly Cooly it's even loonier than Gurren Lagann and there's only 6 episodes.

And yes, all around zaniness has been extremeley underrepresented in games lately.

This reminds me of Serious Sam, when I have a blast blasting numerous monsters and just have F**K YEAH! (can I say F word around here?) moments.

Hoping for both Bulletstorm and Duke Nukem to be epic.

*put 2 dollars into epic jar*

 

[RollingThunder]

Watch that and try not to laugh.

Awesome, just.... awesome, bring tears to this old gamer eye.

Because you get the oddammed GOW3 beta! if you preorder

 

[didoslament]

So i just played the demo, and for a game that supports 3D it sure is two dimensional (see what i did there?) I mean really?! is that it? gimmicky nostalgia with a novelty value of about 8 seconds, or as soon as you shoot someone in the nuts. I know i'm playing a demo but where is my game i could find more depth in a mcdonalds coloring book.

oh and does Hugh Jackman know they used his face for this game?

 

[didoslament]

on the plus side it does look very nice, unfortunately they spoiled this buy having most of screen obscured by enemy genitals (which just fly at you when you use the leash) as well as points and achievements that you get for just pushing any button.

Ive seen a bunch of people on this board fired up about Bulletstorm and i honestly cant tell why. Can someone please explain why this Duke Nukem-esq foul mouthed shooter is getting so much hype? I usually like the games epic puts out but i don't get why shooting a random baddie in the ass 4598309 times and then listing to a 12 year old swear is so awesome.

watch zero punctuations pain killer review........done? OK the people can fly has made bullet storm not epic they are just publishing it (the same way Bethesda is only publishing brink but someone else is making it) anyway bulletstorm is going to basically be painkiller x3 with a scoring system for killing dudes in a creative manner (e.g. keeping them above you while shooting them so you can shower in their blood(actually that isn't in it but only due to programming difficulties))

I understand this game is not going for realism, but why do i have to be creative? i have a gun!
if the challenge were found in the mechanics of the game driving me to use these "creative" killing methods to take advantage of a difficult enemies weakness, that would be great. as it is they just run up to me so i can pose them like masochistic barbie dolls!

Well, it is a change-up from shooting the same Arab/Russian/Resptilian-Alien for the 5,003,238,023 time... then going on-line to listen to a 12 year old swear.

I think bulletstorm is a pretty cool guy he doesn't take himself seriously and isn' tafraid of anything.
