I expected him to at least mention the guns which has tits and is on fire. I mean, they put it in only for him.
Doomguy isn't technically a space marine... He is LITERALLY a space marine. He is an actual marine, not some game-world equivalent of the marines, they are actually just called marines. And they send him to an assignment on Mars as a punishment (or just because they need more marines in Doom 3), thus making him a space marine. Doomguy is actually the only true example of a space marine in a game that I'm aware of; it's all the other characters that are only technically space marines.
Anyway, yeah. I know I never said any of that stuff back when I was playing Doom. Hell, I still don't say any of that stuff when I play Doom. As for Bulletstorm, I died in the demo because I didn't stay in cover enough. I guess it was my bad for thinking it was more of a Doom type of shooter rather than a Gears/Uncharted/Killzone/huge list of games that want you to take teh coverz here type of shooter. I still want to try it again on PC though, because I kept feeling I'd have better luck getting good skill shots with a mouse. I was doing quite shit with a controller. Yeah I was still killing dudes, but I wasn't getting any of the fun combos.

So from what I'm taking into the first thirty seconds (or so) of this review is that Epic Games is Master, People Can Fly is Servant?
This review makes me wonder if Yhatzee ever figured out the run button.
Also he played on the 360, I played bulletstorm on the PC and I didn't have any trouble with it.
Also I can't get the "Splatter Airborne Enemies against a surface with the shotgun" skill for some reason, maybe it is bugged or something?

That avatar looks familiar...Knight? Is that you?Critterbot said:
Anyways...I wonder how the game's creators will react to this review, especially after the flaming tits skin they gave in his honor?
How weird that they mashed up the gameplay like that. If they were going for the self-aware balls-to-the-wall type manly game, why didn't they go the whole 9 yards with it?
Maybe Shooters and the gamers that play them have gotten so use to the style present in GOW, Reach and Black Ops that doing anything else seems like a step backwards now?

That's the thing. In the old days developers made sure the game was fun first and then worried about whether or not any of it made any sense later. That's how we got with a game about a about a yellow ball that eats dots and another about a fowl mouthed orange thing on a pyramid.
So when developing Doom I'm pretty sure the folks at ID Software weren't overly concerned about how realistic it was for one lone space marine to take on the entire legions of hell single-handed and carry and entire armory's worth of munitions on his person. All that mattered was that it was fucking fun!
