To be fair, it's my opinion of the BS (hah) demo. A case of interesting gimmick + bad execution. Zalis Send a noteboard - 21/04/2011 01:35:25 AM
It tried WAY too hard to be LOOKATMEIMSOVERYDIFFERENTTHANCALLOFDUTY for its own good. In-your-face, over-the-top humor, etc. The gameplay mechanic of Skillshots sounded interesting, but the way it actually played out felt like a chore.

I really wanted to believe that Epic could make another decent PC game, especially considering the way they talked it up. Despite running on pretty Unreal tech, it fell pretty flat for me. (a month or so after release when the PC platform finally got a demo)

My disappointment over Bulletstorm doesn't make Portal 2 a better game, but it does highlight just how much a better value P2 is. Even if someone pays the $60 console price, at least the PS3 version can play with PCs and comes with a serial to activate your copy on a Steam account. (both Mac & PC)

The single-player will be just as good when you get around to playing it, though. I think I just prefer to get it now since it means co-op with a friend.
The sword might be grateful to the forge fire, but never fond of it.

*goes to buy* WOW REALLY?!?!?! LadyLorraine - 20/04/2011 07:14:39 PM 1071 Views
Agreed. As masterful as Portal was, I'd rather wait for a price drop. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 20/04/2011 07:25:16 PM 613 Views
My cousin has similar feelings. Japhy - 20/04/2011 07:25:54 PM 1185 Views
Stating that it seems overpriced to her != a "holier than thou" attitude. lord-of-shadow - 20/04/2011 07:35:51 PM 1042 Views
Just saying, I love the use of != over =/= *NM* Kronin al'Sulc - 20/04/2011 11:24:19 PM 635 Views
as l-o-s said, I greatly enjoyed Portal 1. I plan to enjoy Portal 2. LadyLorraine - 20/04/2011 08:01:52 PM 1171 Views
It would be helpful, Jacob - 20/04/2011 08:48:13 PM 1226 Views
plainly my statement was misinterpreted. I apologize. LadyLorraine - 21/04/2011 12:32:59 AM 1060 Views
Easy... Jacob - 21/04/2011 03:31:55 PM 1047 Views
Bulletstorm is single-player + coop only and sold for $60. What do you want? Zalis - 20/04/2011 09:14:34 PM 1089 Views
Given that short review, I'd say anyone buying Bulletstorm is being severely ripped off. LadyLorraine - 21/04/2011 12:45:06 AM 985 Views

okay I get the point you were trying to make with your comparison... LadyLorraine - 21/04/2011 01:54:16 AM 1073 Views
Gotcha. What's game would be a Day One purchase for you, though? Zalis - 21/04/2011 02:50:13 AM 1098 Views
I'm not sure, honestly. LadyLorraine - 21/04/2011 03:20:33 AM 1085 Views
Bulletstorm was a lot of fun. The demo didn't do it justice. Nebhead - 21/04/2011 12:53:12 PM 1645 Views
If it's as long as Portal 1, then I completely agree A Deathwatch Guard - 20/04/2011 10:54:31 PM 1049 Views
you explained why I was surprised at the price well here. LadyLorraine - 21/04/2011 12:41:40 AM 1148 Views
It's about twice as long. Leaving it at 6-8 hours, basically. lord-of-shadow - 21/04/2011 02:50:53 AM 1112 Views
thank you LadyLorraine - 21/04/2011 05:23:37 PM 1077 Views
I've found it to be worth the price Jragghen - 21/04/2011 08:56:16 AM 1003 Views
If you want a review, lookie here: Nebhead - 21/04/2011 12:56:06 PM 1684 Views

thank you ben *NM* LadyLorraine - 21/04/2011 05:22:13 PM 522 Views
It's longer. Gher - 21/04/2011 05:46:10 PM 1198 Views
Thank you, Gher. And that last statement is kind of what I'd like to avoid LadyLorraine - 21/04/2011 06:54:12 PM 1005 Views
