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 1094 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 623 Views
My cousin has similar feelings. Japhy - 20/04/2011 07:25:54 PM 1211 Views
Stating that it seems overpriced to her != a "holier than thou" attitude. lord-of-shadow - 20/04/2011 07:35:51 PM 1067 Views
Just saying, I love the use of != over =/= *NM* Kronin al'Sulc - 20/04/2011 11:24:19 PM 647 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 1201 Views
It would be helpful, Jacob - 20/04/2011 08:48:13 PM 1250 Views
plainly my statement was misinterpreted. I apologize. LadyLorraine - 21/04/2011 12:32:59 AM 1086 Views
Easy... Jacob - 21/04/2011 03:31:55 PM 1076 Views
Bulletstorm is single-player + coop only and sold for $60. What do you want? Zalis - 20/04/2011 09:14:34 PM 1116 Views
Given that short review, I'd say anyone buying Bulletstorm is being severely ripped off. LadyLorraine - 21/04/2011 12:45:06 AM 1006 Views

okay I get the point you were trying to make with your comparison... LadyLorraine - 21/04/2011 01:54:16 AM 1093 Views
Gotcha. What's game would be a Day One purchase for you, though? Zalis - 21/04/2011 02:50:13 AM 1123 Views
I'm not sure, honestly. LadyLorraine - 21/04/2011 03:20:33 AM 1111 Views
Bulletstorm was a lot of fun. The demo didn't do it justice. Nebhead - 21/04/2011 12:53:12 PM 1678 Views
If it's as long as Portal 1, then I completely agree A Deathwatch Guard - 20/04/2011 10:54:31 PM 1073 Views
you explained why I was surprised at the price well here. LadyLorraine - 21/04/2011 12:41:40 AM 1168 Views
It's about twice as long. Leaving it at 6-8 hours, basically. lord-of-shadow - 21/04/2011 02:50:53 AM 1141 Views
thank you LadyLorraine - 21/04/2011 05:23:37 PM 1098 Views
I've found it to be worth the price Jragghen - 21/04/2011 08:56:16 AM 1028 Views
If you want a review, lookie here: Nebhead - 21/04/2011 12:56:06 PM 1711 Views

thank you ben *NM* LadyLorraine - 21/04/2011 05:22:13 PM 534 Views
It's longer. Gher - 21/04/2011 05:46:10 PM 1215 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 1032 Views
