Epic has never redefined the word fun.Russ Pitts said:
And dick tits? That's nothing, try shitting dick nipple... Which is a real thing that I do not encourage you to google.
OT: Nice review. Was on the fence about this one, am now considering my financed to see if I can actually get it.
Wow! generally i hate FPS's, i havent even played one on the current gen, but that looks awesome!
I admit I haven't played the full game yet (it doesn't come out over here until Friday) but from what I've seen of it the story doesn't look like something to be taken seriously. It comes across as a parody of modern FPSs. Granted it's not a good idea to start the story with a 5 minute cutsene but I reckon I could let that slip.
In regard to the video it was a pretty good list but some of the kills seemed kinda out of place like Vertigo or Head Shot. Those are the sort of kills you get in just about every FPS and are pretty generic these days especially when compared to the kinds of things you can do in the Demo alone.
It should be worth replaying a few times is you want to try and get all the Skillshots and multiplayer should considerably add to the re-playability if it has lasting appeal. That said not everyone's in to that sort of thing so to each his own I guess.ALPHATT said:
You make a statement of certainty about a game that isn't even out yet. Just pointing that out. Again to each his own but I'm more interested in Bulletstorm than DNF. Not that it looks bad or anything but it just looks like a Current Gen Duke Nukem 3D which was admittedly better then your average FPS but not really a game changer at least by today's standards. It just doesn't look lke anything special while Bulletstorm looks like something more refreshing with creative weapons and a system which encourages killings your enemies a number of different ways.ALPHATT said:

Man, dicktits is mainstream now. Guess I'll have to stick with karateboner.
This game seems fun!

Will you be starting a thread titled "Am I the only one who doesn't want Bulletstorm?" soon?lacktheknack said:
No, I've already heard people say they don't want it.tautologico said:Will you be starting a thread titled "Am I the only one who doesn't want Bulletstorm?" soon?lacktheknack said:

Fair enough, I just found it a little funny you assumed you were the only one, then I remembered the infamous "Am I the only one" threads.lacktheknack said:No, I've already heard people say they don't want it.tautologico said:Will you be starting a thread titled "Am I the only one who doesn't want Bulletstorm?" soon?lacktheknack said:

Nothing wrong in not liking this game or any other.
somehow I see a rabid fanbase developing for this game that will end every arguement with "dicktits!", much like how portal fans are obsessed with cake.
That being said I'm so glad I preordered this game and cant wait to have some money to go pick it up with. As much as people bash on the story and the premise for being unoriginal, I think the gameplay is awesome and incredibly creative. So you guys can bash it all you want, just make sure you at least try the demo before you hate, dicktits!*
*I used it ironically so I think I'm safe

The story is supposed to be over the top, thats what makes it funny. You have to watch it like a parody not a real plot. And I like Gray, can totally relate to this guy.
Gonna go ahead and make a prediction:
The number of first-person shooters featuring a heel-kick mechanic will balloon over the next two years, then sharply decline.

I'm not sure how I really feel about this game to be honest. There is no denying that it is a FUN game and that's what ALL games need to aim to be first and foremost.. but I was kind of expecting a little more out of this. Let me explain..
When I was going into Bulletstorm I wasn't expecting anything ground breaking from the storyline.. just straight up over the top craziness! But one thing I was expecting was a somewhat longer game.. I mean really, is this the new standard for all FPS? I think I spent more time playing through that Duke Nukem on the XBLA than with most of these top tier FPS games now a days.
Secondly.. I was expecting a little more out of the multiplayer, was I the only one? I just find it odd that a game like this has a multiplayer mode that really only works with teamwork.. just odd in my opinion
Perhaps my expectations were a tad to high? I don't know.. kind of felt it was trying to hard to be over the top as well at times. It's still a nice little game, a buy? Honestly.. HELL NO, not worth it PERIOD unless you are REALLY into it.
For me Duke Nukem is the my last hope. It would be rather hilarious if that was the game that had the insanely fun multiplayer.. XD
