Kaftan Barlast Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I didnt go in with any expectations here, but I was very pleasantly surprised. Ive only played it for about an hour but the gameplay is slick and spot on. Ive also not encountered any performance issues, im running it 1920x1200 with an old GTX 260 and its fast and smooth just like an U3 game should be.

HoonDing Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Is there a PC demo? I'm interested since this is supposed to be the spiritual successor to Painkiller. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgoth Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 There's a PC demo coming out after launch, but people say it's not really reminiscent to Painkiller. Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaftan Barlast Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 I think its set in the Gears of War universe, so thats what the general feel is like. Except this is a fast-paced FPS, not a cover-based shooter.

LostStraw Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 single player demo was incredibly dull and boring. Should be fun in multiplayer though. There is no competitive multiplayer. Here's all it has currently: Anarchy mode is a take on the wave-based gameplay of Gears of War 2's Horde mode. You team up with up to three friends and face off against waves of enemies, trying to get the highest score possible. Each wave gets progressively harder, with enemies becoming increasingly more intelligent and larger in number. The twist is in how you complete each wave. Instead of simply trying to kill the opposition, you have to kill them in specific ways to earn skill points. This might involve kicking them off a bridge to earn a "vertigo" kill or pushing them into electricity pylons to earn a "shocker" kill. http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/untitled...p;mode=previews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightshape Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 (edited) I didnt go in with any expectations here, but I was very pleasantly surprised. Ive only played it for about an hour but the gameplay is slick and spot on. Ive also not encountered any performance issues, im running it 1920x1200 with an old GTX 260 and its fast and smooth just like an U3 game should be. I played Bulletstorm demo, thought it was a terrible bland one trick pony, that was basically dark messiah with guns, and a score system. Then yesturday, I played first 10 minutes of Bulletstorm, thought, maybe game not so bad, maybe buy Bulletstorm, give it a chance. So I boughts it, played for 2 hours, realised demo was correct. 5/10. Crappy decals too, and crappy story, and basically *yawn*. Bulletstorm's tag like shouldn't be "kill with skill", it should be "challenge not included". Also, me got PS3 version, its got some crappy typical UE issue, like steaming and blah. Bad tech use, I got PS3 version, because I specifically didn't want no GoW 3 beta, gears sucks. Edited February 25, 2011 by Nightshape I came up with Crate 3.0 technology.

(this helps me put your review in a context of your taste so that I might better see it's accuracy for a person of MY taste) Did you like the demo? Or did you dislike the demo... Because if you liked the demo you may enjoy the game. I'd say that Bulletstorm is basically a mish-mash of Dark Messiah(Spiked walls + kick), MadWorld(Score for kill creativity) and Call of Duty(General shooty stuff, like iron sights, and quto aim etc...). *cutscene* *kick* and *shoot* and *whip* and *shoot* and *boom* and *kick* and *level up some item* and *kick* and *kick* and *kick* and *shoot* and *whip* *kick* and *shoot* and *whip* and *shoot* and *boom* and *kick* and *level up some item* and *kick* and *kick* and *kick* and *shoot* and *whip* and *kick* and *shoot* and *whip* and *shoot* and *boom* and *kick* and *level up some item* and *kick* and *kick* and *kick* and *shoot* and *whip* *kick* and *shoot* and *whip* and *shoot* and *boom* and *kick* and *level up some item* and *kick* and *kick* and *kick* and *shoot* and *whip* and *kick* and *shoot* and *whip* and *shoot* and *boom* and *kick* and *level up some item* and *kick* and *kick* and *kick* and *shoot* and *whip* *kick* and *shoot* and *whip* and *shoot* and *boom* and *kick* and *level up some item* and *kick* and *kick* and *kick* and *shoot* and *whip* and *kick* and *shoot* and *whip* and *shoot* and *boom* and *kick* and *level up some item* and *kick* and *kick* and *kick* and *shoot* and *whip* *kick* and *shoot* and *whip* and *shoot* and *boom* and *kick* and *level up some item* and *kick* and *kick* and *kick* and *shoot* and *whip* and *kick* and *shoot* and *whip* and *shoot* and *boom* and *kick* and *level up some item* and *kick* and *kick* and *kick* and *shoot* and *whip* *kick* and *shoot* and *whip* and *shoot* and *boom* and *kick* and *level up some item* and *kick* and *kick* and *kick* and *shoot* and *whip* and *kick* and *shoot* and *whip* and *shoot* and *boom* and *kick* and *level up some item* and *kick* and *kick* and *kick* and *shoot* and *whip* *kick* and *shoot* and *whip* and *shoot* and *boom* and *kick* and *level up some item* and *kick* and *kick* and *kick* and *shoot* and *whip* and *kick* and *shoot* and *whip* and *shoot* and *boom* and *kick* and *level up some item* and *kick* and *kick* and *kick* and *shoot* and *whip* *kick* and *shoot* and *whip* and *shoot* and *boom* and *kick* and *level up some item* and *kick* and *kick* and *kick* and *shoot* and *whip* and *kick* and *shoot* and *whip* and *shoot* and *boom* and *kick* and *level up some item* and *kick* and *kick* and *kick* and *shoot* and *whip* *kick* and *shoot* and *whip* and *shoot* and *boom* and *kick* and *level up some item* and *kick* and *kick* and *kick* and *shoot* and *whip* and *kick* and *shoot* and *whip* and *shoot* and *boom* and *kick* and *level up some item* and *kick* and *kick* and *kick* and *shoot* and *whip* *kick* and *shoot* and *whip* and *shoot* and *boom* and *kick* and *level up some item* and *kick* and *kick* and *kick* and *shoot* and *whip* and *kick* and *shoot* and *whip* and *shoot* and *boom* and *kick* and *level up some item* and *kick* and *kick* and *kick* and *shoot* and *whip* *kick* and *shoot* and *whip* and *shoot* and *boom* and *kick* and *level up some item* and *kick* and *kick* and *kick* and *shoot* and *whip* and *cutscene*... etc...

Kaftan Barlast Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 The rule with Bulletstorm is more of "Do you enjoy FPS games?" because if you do, then you will enjoy this game. And dont get the console versions that have auto-aim, because that defeats the whole meaning of skillshots. gears sucks. No, Gears of War is awesome and you have dodgy taste in games.

I love FPS games, but I don't love this one. At least what I've seen of the demo. The whole gimmick of knocking things around for points, when other shooters just do it as a background mechanic doesn't interest me. I'm far more interested in Duke Forever for my irreverent blow **** up fps experience. Will be able to knock enemies off railings without big 50 POINTS text covering the screen etc. Edited February 26, 2011 by GreasyDogMeat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gears of War the homoerotic, action movie, parody - that it is? Please... And empting that much ammo into an enemy is never fun. Bulletstorm has nothing in common with gears, past the engine. The skillshots are hardly skillful... The game doesn't feel very challenging. The attitude is more of the over the top bull you get from Gears. *sigh* Maybe the experience is so vastly different on PC, I don't know... I never thought twice about buying it on PC, didn't seem like PC would have been the lead platform. I came up with Crate 3.0 technology.

Starwars Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Generally speaking, I think Bulletstorm is fun as hell. I do wish it had been more of a classic, "pure" FPS, like Painkiller where you could jump, story segments were only at the end of levels/chapters and there was none of the upgrading bullcrap. The story is rubbish but I was surprised at how fun I found the writing to be, I expected to absolutely *hate* it but it's good and silly fun. And I love the weapons. Only weapon that I don't like is the Sniper Rifle because the gimmick really slows the game down. All things considered, it's the most fun FPS I've played in quite a while.

Funnily enough the script is a work of a comic book writer Rick Remender. I sometimes wonder why do they waste professionals on games that could easily do without a story.

Morgoth Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Bulletstorm is the result if you don't have any compelling concept or don't put any thought into your game design. It's one of those 90s id Soft shooters style where some amateurs come up with an idea during lunch and just go ahead and implement it. With Epic Games and UE3 backing you you can actually can get away with this. Other developers have to try harder. Rain makes everything better.
