Bulletstorm: Worth the money?

[ConnorB96]

Okay, so I have been playing around with the Bulletstorm demo for a few days now, and I can say that it is definitely a unique game and it's definitely entertaining flinging monsters across the level then attaching an explosive to them and blowing their lower halves off. But the full game has been seeming more and more like it may not be worth the money. There is a singleplayer campaign, and 2 multi-player game modes, neither of which are competitive. One is a co-op horde mode, and one is a leader board-based mission game. A special edition (which costs the same as the standard game) includes the Gears of War 3 beta invite. That seems like the only way the game could have a possibility of replay value. So the question is: do you think Bulletstorm can justify a $60 price tag? As of now, I'm not so sure.

 

[Outright Villainy]

Well, probably not, but then there's very few games I would consider worth that price.
(skyward sword and portal 2 are the only games i'm buying full price for the next year or two.)

I am quite interested in the game though.

 

[TPiddy]

For some people, I'm sure this answer will be no. But I liken this system to Left 4 Dead, in the sense that while you are doing the same levels over and over, there should be enough variety to make the game worthwhile and replayable.

 

[Mr.Pandah]

Nope. I played through the demo three times, and I certainly can't get the hang of a good "skill shot" run, but I felt like, even if I could, it wouldn't be nearly entertaining enough for me to warrant the $60 price tag.

 

[ssgt splatter]

Well, I think a lot of people are going to get the game just for the Gears 3 MP beta and I'm one of them. But that being said, there is something about shooting someone in the nuts and kicking him in the face that is very satisfying but again it's more than likely people just want to play the Gears 3 beta.

 

[L3m0n_L1m3]

Based off of my experience in the demo, a lot of the game would be just whipping people into the air and then kicking them into stuff. So no, it's not worth it imho.

 

[FRUMTARN]

Well I think the demo was a little basic, only having the one gun and whip. And the added weapons and stuff you get in the full game aren't really filling me with excitement.
I doubt it will be worth the money.

 

[TheNewDemoman]

Hmmm

I don't know

It was fun kicking people in the crotch then slamming them around.

COD is fun sometimes and it is bland as hell, so yah Bulletstorm might me good.

 

[Daystar Clarion]

Nope, got bored through my second playthrough of the demo. The novelty wore off very quickly and just reverted to a gimmicky mediocre FPS.

 

[dibblywibbles]

does not seem worth the money in my humble opinion. when you look at it playing the same thing over and over again with no change(because the 12 or so times I played it it was exactly the same each time) would drive me bat shit crazy if I was trying to squeeze out a few more points. it's neat that it rewards creativity but really... it didn't seem that creative. you end up doing the same things over and over(I liked the whole Scorpion thing though) that I got to the point that I couldn't care less what my score was.

 

[awesomeClaw]

Let´s see.

You can shoot a man in the balls and kick him in the face.

You can kick people into rusty spikes.

You can shoot people in the arse.

Worth it.

 

[DeadlyYellow]

Well, probably not, but then there's very few games I would consider worth that price.

Same here. It takes a lot for me to swallow that bill.

 

[scnj]

Not worth full price. But it'll drop by summer, so it might be worth looking into for the summer game drought.

 

[Captain Pirate]

Let´s see.

You can kick people into rusty spikes.

You can shoot people in the arse.

Worth it.

Mercy! +100

Voodoo Doll! +500

REAR ENTRY! +250

Yeah, I agree, worth it.
I've played through the demo it 10 tens and I'm not bored of it.
I mean, it's expensive, sure, but no more than any other new game, and I'm not waiting a year at least until it drops to around £20. I want to play that shit now.

EDIT: Goddamnit shit cock dicktits vagina, I meant REAR entry not BEAR entry...

 

[Moeez]

Not worth full price. Blockbuster games never are, because of their game length and scripted nature. This one seems more replayable than others, though.

Too late, now you will have to... bear... the shame.
I bet you are bearly holding together now, maybe drink some bear to calm down.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

I was really excited...

Then I played the demo.

Killzone 3, here I come!

 

[endnuen]

Was I the only one to get tired of kicking people into spikes at the middle of the demo already?
And the protagonists voice makes me cringe..

I'll maybe pick it up once it drops to 75% retail price though, seems like a little mindless fun when you have the hangovers..

 

[ConnorB96]

I am also someone who may buy it solely for the Gears of War 3 beta. The game was alright, although there are only a few skillshots that it allowed you to do, and it is extremely difficult to get any unique ones. So, I'll probably end up buying it, as long as I can get a copy of the "Epic Edition."

 

[Judgement101]

To me? Hell. Fucking. Yes. When I played the demo I loved it soooooooo much. I preordered the game the second it was announced.
