I don't get Buletstorm either, I think it looks gimmicky and I think I will grow tired of it real fast..
DNF on the other hand I'm so psyched about, because, In a world of faceless gritty military shooters that all try to be all serious and 'realistic', I need Duke to come along with a shooter that focuses on having fun blowing pig-men up with rocket launchers or shattering enemies frozen solid by your freeze canon.
A game that makes you giggle when you play instead of cursing because you got killed for the 5. time by the enemies who spawns and shoots at you from all directions.

It's meant to be a mockery of FPS games and how stupid they get; this game is purposefully designed to be stupid.Autohellion said:
Theres none of that seriousness behind most shooters you know like for instance you CAN kik a dude of a building and Then a One linear would happen like 'Have a Nice Fall' and its funnier
What can u do in CODBO throw a guy off a building and there all serious about like 'good job mason' while this is more serious and trying to be epic

because it's made by people can fly who made pain killer just watch zero punctuation review of pain killer and you can see why people would like an fps which is about having fun and kicking ass not sitting in a corner waiting for you grenade wound to heal in 5 second.
Really you don't think you'll giggle in bulletstorm but you will in DNF? I know for one it'll be a long time before i stop finding the ability to shoot off a butt flap and fill the arse inside full of bullets funny. Where as hearing the same old Duke Voice quote the same old phrases he has been saying for decades will have a longer lasting comedic effect?endnuen said:
Nope, I don't think so. I see the gameplay footage and think: "Meh.. Is there a point to impaling these blokes on the giant cacti? and getting a score for it.." The only reasonable explanation I can think of is that to progress the game you'll need a score of x amount, and then it becomes a chore doing it.. And if not, then it's just a gimmick..TheComedown said:
And yes, I still chuckle at DN3D. Maybe I'm just a very simple man of simple needs.
I don't get how having score boards and such "gimmicks" will be any different from the ONE gimmick that duke has had since the beginning, that one gimmick that hasn't really changed much whatsoever since the start. At least Bulletstorm is putting something new on the table.endnuen said:
The difference is that if the scoreboard is a necessity to progress in the game, it will become tiresome having to rack up points. And if the points aren't needed for anything but showoff, then why implement the point system in the first place? It will just lead to spamming of a few of these 'skillshots' or w/e it is called.TheComedown said:
But each to his own, and I wont deny that if Bulletstorm gets a demo, I will want to try it out. I might get a happy surprise.
Bulletstorm is not a competitive multiplayer game, it's co-op only. You don't have to hear any 12 year olds on it if you don't want to.Autohellion said:
And if you don't enjoy shooting random baddies 4598309 times then.... why play any shooter?
Because I'm sick of "dramatic" shooter campaigns after last year's bounty of them.
IT'S TIME TO BLOW SHIT UP AND FEEL LIKE AN UBER-BADASS!

Really? In a thread about Bulletstorm of all things?MichiganMuscle77 said:
OT: Because shooting people is what you do in a shooting game, and the shooting looks fun in this one.
And what 12-year olds? It's not multiplayer, you know, and I'm pretty sure the voice actors are not kids.
I highly doubt that the points would be required to progress through the game.endnuen said:
Didn't reach have some sort of scoring through the single player campaign? Whats it matter? LOADS of people out there love the old school idea of racking up high scores, is that so bad? It changes the game from just run around shoot dude, shoot dude, open door, to look around, whats the craziest/coolest/funniest way I can off this room full of baddies? Impale 2 guys on re-bars, blow another 3 to oblivion after throwing them into the air and shoot off the last guys arse before screaming obscenities at the squad mates. Then after all that you can see if your mates got through the section with better combos and crazier kills.
Lots of people people (me included) keep going back to Doom. It's considered a timeless classic. Why? Because we yearn for the days when shooters were like Doom: fast, frantic, chaotic and pure childish fun. Your typical shooter these days is all about gritty realism.
While I appreciate a game with depth, games can often get bogged down in realism and end up sacrificing aspects of gameplay that would make it fun. It's refreshing to play a game that just says "Y'know what? Fuck being serious, let's just make this game a hell of a good time!"
That's the appeal of Bulletstorm. You don't have to share that opinion, but now you can at least understand it.
