Does anyone else think Bulletstorm is going to be the best thing since bacon?

[viranimus]

Typical shooter is typical?

I think it might be a good game, but I cannot for the life of me see anyone getting this amped up over a new IP.

 

[Goldeneye103X2]

It's like the Club meets MadWorld. What's not to love?

I don't know if I'll buy it or not. I still appreciate 'it' though.

Initially I thought it's lack of split screen would be a deal breaker for me, but after playing the demo at least 10 times I'd have to say it was the most impressed I've been with a shooter since Half Life 2

I'm sure my enthusiasm will decline when the story is inevitably generic action bullshit.

 

[Thespian]

I played the demo twice, but only because the first time I blinked and missed half the content. I ran through pretty much all of the available combos with those three guns very quickly and found little motivation to actually kill with skill as opposed to just kill with spray'n'praying tanky goodness. Cover? Who needs it!

Honestly I love the idea of the mechanic but my faith in the game was shaken after the demo.

 

[EHKOS]

No, I think is is going to fall flat on it's face.

 

[Jekken6]

It was pretty fun, although I was default movement speed was faster. It's a definite rent at the least

 

[Shaegor]

The premise of Bulletstorm is pretty damn awesome, supposed to be just good, non-clean fun. But I have always thought that the skillshots will eventually become tedious and instead of trying to pull off creative kills, you'll end up picking one method that's guaranteed to give you the highest score or something.

 

[SL33TBL1ND]

I'm probably going to buy the game, but from where I'm standing, it looks like it might get a bit old.

 

[CyanideSandwich]

Blasphemy! Nothing can surpass the power of bacon!!

 

[William MacKay]

I would have liked a miniboss in the demo.

Well, the demo was an Echo level, and Echo is where you just try to get as many points as possible. but, i agree.

Not going to be getting, after pulling a guy towards me for the 10th time and kicking him away again for the 10th time, then shooting him as he flew away for the 10th time it got very boring very quickly.
I used the secondary fire on the handgun and machine gun but there wasn't enough ammo in either. I got the odd "kicked them into the spikes on the wall" kill but I was really struggling to get anything that great.
To me, it's an FPS with a gimmick.

be more creative you sod. shoot the green-guys heads when theyre in a group! overcharge the flailgun into a group!

a FrenchRevolution-ChainReaction-Gangbang kill-combo it REALLY FUCKING FUN! its a good as cocaine.
...
Bacocain. i went there.

 

[ReservoirAngel]

I dunno, bacon's pretty damn awesome.

 

[ethaninja]

Sure there's different environments and more weapons than what we saw in the demo but I think that once you beat the game, you won't replay it and the multiplayer isn't as competitive or cooperative as I think it should be.

Comptetative and cooperative should NOT be in the same sentence along with multiplayer

 

[Triforceformer]

No, it won't be better than bacon. It will however beat out ham. But it still won't be able to out-do Duke Nukem Forever.

 

[linkx323]

True the universe couldn't handle such awesomeness. But when duke nukem forever comes out the universe will explode!

 

[ImprovizoR]

Looks like fun. Looks like Quake kind of fun actually.

 

[MrGalactus]

No, i think it's going to be the most generic thing since yesterday

 

[MASTACHIEFPWN]

I only want the gears of war III beta. GIMMIE!

 

[KEM10]

I only want the gears of war III beta. GIMMIE!

At least the man is honest.

OT: Played the demo and had a great big "Eh" after I finished it.
This game won't go as far as everyone hopes, the main reason is because it is coming out the same year as Duke's return. If it comes out next year instead I see a lot more income for it, but now it is just another funny shooter that isn't staring that one macho hedonist.

 

[Dhael]

I was kinda meh about the demo till I figured out how to juggle enemies in the air. Then it became a lot more fun for me. Seeing how many limbs I can shoot off before he hits the ground is awesome.

I do wish they gave an entire level with a boss to give us more of a taste of the gameplay and plot, tho
