Poll: BulletStorm Expectations?

[TrevorGruen]

While talking with my friends today i brought up how i was looking forward to bulletstorm after playing the demo for a while, and they said how it was going to suck and sell really poorly. I disagreed but held my tongue for the moment, wondering if this was the common opinion, or if they were just being there normal dickhead selves. So what is the common opinion on bulletstorm? Will it be a blast or a bomb?

*Note*: I dont know about you guys but i cant see a game with both a 4 barrel shotgun and a gun that can shoot flares up guys bums could be bad!

It will be a lot of fun for a while. Then it will become achievement grind. Judging it took me four days of intense grinding the mission SECTION that is the demo, I guess it will take a month to even start to get boring.

*Stupid unreadable captchas. 4 refreshes*

It is the perfect rent. It'll be a lot of fun but won't last long, no matter how many skill shots there are.

 

[DirgeNovak]

Meh. The demo wasn't that great, it seemed a bit too repetitive for my tastes.

 

[Gralian]

It better be good... I love Painkiller, and since this game is made by the same developer (People Can Fly), i'm hoping they can make me fall in love all over again!

Fingers crossed!

I'm expecting a lot of nut shots if that is what you're wondering. I'm just looking forward to something that differs from everything else. It looks like Borderlands with more emphasis on gory mindless fun.

 

[Matt-the-twat]

It'll be 'meh' to 'good' AND sell well. Specifically it will sell a touch better than borderlands. You can quote me on that one.

 

[JordanXlord]

it is going to make Black ops...look like...um...Chess?



I love the Demo, and it may ACTUALY have a ok-ish Story

But the Game style is just...too Awesome

 

[IamSofaKingRaw]

Looks very boring. My brother tried the demo and said that its too short. From what I've seen, the game will get boring really fast due to the fact that most people will probably end up doing the same moves over and over to enemies. (think about it, if 20 guys are charging you how much time do you have to execute them in with some overthetop kill sequence? You'll probably just throw everyone in the air and kick them).

Massive Meh.

 

[IBlackKiteI]

It's likely going to be pretty damn fun but otherwise not so great.

But I guess thats all a game really needs.
Why do you think Borderlands was so popular?

 

[jpoon]

It looks pretty shallow to me, even with all the "Creative kills" you can do to people, looks pretty boring so far.

 

[Fidelias]

It's going to be pretty good and sell like crazy. But it's not going to be even close to game of the year. I mean, sure, it's going to be fun, but do you really expect the story to be anything but crap?

 

[ChipSandwich]

Depends on how seriously it takes itself. The whole CoD parody thing doesn't really ease my expectations. Hopefully they can use more than jaded FPS fans as a selling point. I also hope it will be more People Can Fly and less Epic Games.

It'll be 'meh' to 'good' AND sell well. Specifically it will sell a touch better than borderlands. You can quote me on that one.

I shall quote you on that!

Alright, that was a bad joke. Sorry.

Anyway, back to the topic. The demo was alright, but it didn't really "wow" me. A friend of mine is buying it. I may borrow it in time, but I'm in no rush.

 

[Valagetti]

Its most likely going to hail down from the heavens on a golden chariot, powered by dragons. And when it reaches earth, it will cure all types of cancer... and realistic shooter symdrom.

 

[AcacianLeaves]

It's a generic console FPS in every conceivable way, except you get bonus points for nut shots. I may pick it up from the bargain bin next year.

 

[Rakkana]

It looks like it's trying to take the piss out of itself and other Fps's and I see that as potential for irony.

 

[Yostbeef]

I love Pain Killer...Also payed 10 bucks for every game in the series.I'm probably not gonna pay 60 USD for Bullet Storm.It's looks like a good game and I'm sure it's pretty entertaining especially if you love the genre of shooting mindless waves of enemies for no other reason than to shoot more waves of mindless enemies.The time I would spend playing it though just doesn't justify spending full retail price for me.

Edit:Actually if it has some kick ass multiplayer similar to UT,I might try to recruit some friends and reconsider not purchasing it for full retail.

 

[Sonicron]

My one expectation of Bulletstorm is that it is entertaining, and judging from the demo it'll most likely deliver.

 

[FangShadow]

I played the demo and it sold me on the concept. I was wanting it, but was shaky for a while. The demo was fun for me, though. I'm looking forward to something that doesn't take itself seriously, especially after all of the realistic shooters going around.

Plus the gears 3 beta helps
