Honest question: What seperates Bulletstorm from Vanquish to you? In my mind they both go after a similar niche i.e. 'Do crazy shit-score attack-shooter.'aegies said:
PS I love the show and you are my favorite games journo
My highlights of the first chapter.
Attacking the Ulysses with the remote missile launcher, The view of the city from the side of the skyscraper, sliding out into the open world from your ship, The Ulysses crash landing overhead, and the scene where the blood hits the glass from Ishi's operation room and then when your friend tells you to shoot the explosive barrel he's holding

This game is as awesome as expected. So far (Act 2, Ch. 1)it's definitely one of the most fun shooters this gen, along with Vanquish. Hope it keeps up this pace.
Just noticed you can restart checkpoints with bottles and drinking them adds to the 20 drinks achievement tally. I'm gonna try it with shooting the bottles after. Maybe it'll work with those fireflies too?
Edit: works with shooting the bottles. This is great, I was worried the bottle achievements (drinking and shooting them) would require 2 separate playthroughs on 20 separate hidden bottles. That would have been a pain.
Edit 2: doesn't seem to work with those robots. haven't tried it on the fireflies yet.

Have been on the fence about this one, though always intended to grab it at some point, maybe when it was cheaper (demo was great, but had a feeling it might get a little big old, fast). That said, having read the comments here today and the comparisons/fun factor being up there with Vanquish, I might have to put an order in tonight.

Domino Theory said:Voice-acting is pretty bad and I don't enjoy having the gameplay paused every 20 seconds for a useless cutscene, but everything else is fantastic. Hard difficulty is pretty tough.
The only character whose voice acting has turned me off so far is Ishi but I don't understand how anyone thinks Steve Blum or Jennifer Hale did a poor job here. Spike and Commander Shepard? What's to dislike? Jennifer Hale doing the voice work in any game is a selling point.
Although I'm thinking they went with Blum because he voiced Wolverine in Wolverine and the X-Men. Grayson is pretty much Logan, maybe the added humor is a nod to Nightwing.

The way I understood it was that buying Bulletstorm gets you in the early beta in April, whereas everyone with a Gold membership will have access to the beta they run a month or so prior to release. So basically the big reward here is seeing the game 6 months early for a week rather than for a couple days a month prior to it coming out. I actually bought the game for Bulletstorm and not the demo, though. The 20 bucks off at Amazon didnt hurt.

Just ran into an interesting clipping bug towards the end of 2-2. My
spun around and pushed me into the ground, causing me to clip and endlessly fall. No death, I just had to restart from the last checkpoint.
Game is good times.

I'd say this is the best game I've played this month (MvC3 included). It's so fun and has a ton of replay value.pickle said:

yes. in both the gameplay and writing department. That song he sings in Act 2 Ch. 2 towards the end...
I played anarchy up to wave 7 with randoms and it was good times. Not too much pressure for teamwork so far, which is nice. I don't like wearing a mic online.
My only complaint so far (act 2 ch. 2 spoilers)
sometimes I couldn't get Reptar to shoot the helicopters

any thoughts on anarchy MP?
i only played 7/8 waves, up until we failed to muster up enough points to advance. I also went for dinner after that point too but the last couple of waves were getting real fun. the group started to work together getting team kills instead of constantly kicking the enemies off the ledge or into the grinding wheels.

Anyone having strange frame rate dips with the PS3 version? It's not constantly happening, but when it does happen, it's distracting. Perhaps I should have grabbed the 360 version.
Asides from the occasional frame rate thing, game's really solid. Gunplay's fun, kicking and leashing guys is awesome, and the story's interesting. Good writing, funny stuff.

What if you don't have PS3?
Good TRUS deal, but mine was for some who hadn't played Gears series (like me) could get all in one package cheap, get beta, get Bullet Storm

Bastards at Amazon sent me an email telling me bad weather somewhere in the country caused me to not get release day delivery. I sent them an email stating this was the third time this had happened, and asked who I could talk to about getting a refund on my Prime account. They responded back by giving me a complimentary extra year of Prime. Worth waiting an extra day or two for Bulletstorm I guess. I'll just play the Dragon Age demo again on a warrior and mage.
midway through chapter 3 and lovin it so far. presentation goes a long way with me, and this game has loads of it. its also quite beautiful, funny, and so over the top and outrageous you cant help but play with a big huge grin on your face
however, combat seems to be a bit repetitive. baddies seem to fall into 3 categories; 1) fodder that gets tossed about by my leash 2) baddies that the game says are "too fast" to leash, despite me clearly tagging them, and 3) bulletsponges that just take lots of hits.
P.S. the sniper rifle was cool, the first time you shoot it, but after that its just tedious.

I think we should focus on specific critics over sites, despite how bad a reputation IGN has.

@aegies In all honesty, you're the only man I know that managed to do 5.5h. Even our QA can't do it that quickly

The level diversity in this game is amazing, and the graphics are super, even on console.
