Bulletstorm |OT| Dick-Tits
- Thread starter mr stroke
- Start date
Going to buy it on Steam, but I need to know something before I do:
Does the PC version support the 360 controller? If it doesn't have gamepad support, then no sale unfortunately (I play PC games hooked up to my HDTV in my living room). There's no gamepad icon on the Steam product page, so I dunno.
edit - hm, it's a games for windows live game. That means it should have gamepad support, right? Not too happy about it being GFWL though - I hate that DRM.

Actually, I've found a lot of hints towards Half Life 2 in BulletStorm. The leash is like the gravity gun, the main assault rifles feel similar, enemies aren't very smart, battles with the helicopters, ect.
I kind of realized it when I leashed an explosive barrel from one side of the map, launched it toward a group of enemies, and shot it to explode. I thought, "Hey I've done this before..." Also when I used the lease to grab ammo for my gun from behind a corner.

Haven't seen it posted, Gametrailers review: http://www.gametrailers.com/video/review-hd-bulletstorm/710810 Probably contains spoilers, haven't had a chance to watch it yet. EDIT: Yeah, tons of spoilers in that video.
Also the IGN video review: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKIp4G7_3ec
Can't wait to get this, hopefully it'll come through tomorrow from GAME.

the snipers that avoid your leash/kicks, just shoot 1 or 2 bullets in their direction. that makes them stagger so you can grab them much easily
thats really useful in later levels of anarchy when the team challenge is on the snipers and no one can kick them for a bullet kick or slide

This game is awesome. It's hilarious, mindless fun and oh so satisfying.
Only encountered a few minor annoyances so far..
Also had a few bugs where I got stuck on top of things I'm supposed to vault over and had to reload the checkpoint as apparently walking off is simply too much of a task for this guy.
Other than that it's been a blast so far. Up to Act 5 now.

It was pretty frustrating getting Waggleton (may god rest his soul) to shoot those flying things. They always shot me when I came out of cover and Waggleton kept turning around all the time when I was aiming at them. Bleh.

With my GTX580 I only get 30ish when any AA is on, 60 most of the time with occasional dips when any AA is on. The game doesn't even look that good >_<.Corky said:

bleeergh, not what I wanted to hear...I really hope this is straightened out but to be frank I've started to just think " fuck it " and just stick to pc-only games or something from now on ( yeah good luck with that right?).

i saw this on nvidia 3d forums but it might work for people with performance problems, the profile in the nvidia drivers doesn't have the correct executable linked to it, run nvidiainspector goto the bulletstorm profile then add the properly named executable (ShippingPC-StormGame.exe) to the application list, worth a shot anyway
should be some beta drivers out in next few days to fix that though and also hopefully make the game a 3D vision ready title

Yes, 580. I just checked with FRAPS, I get 60fps with occasional drops to 50 with all High/No AA, and 45ish fps with some drops with 2x AA.nib95 said:
You get better fps than me :lol.mxgt said:
Echoes modes is great. I was ranked 44 last night on Desert 
I forgot Echoes had spoilers from the campaign and wound up playing one of the later levels and earned an acheivement lol.
Anarchy is fun, but needs more communication between players; too much "I'm gonna kill everyone myself" going on.

Inside the disco nightclub, I can't get it to trigger the door opening so i can progress. I got through this area before, died, now it spawns me inside the night club with no enemies, but no path opening. If i reload the spawn, it's the same thing. Am i missing something? How do i get out of the nightclub?
EDIT: restarted chapter.... And promptly got stuck in cactus geometry. :/

PC performance issues?
Again, is this game $30 yet?

Man I should be liking this A LOT more but I'm not feeling the awesome quite yet. Another poster commented on how serious the story was and I'd have to agree. I wish PCF just went the Duke Nukem route and made the most ridiculous story imaginable.
Gameplay wise it hasn't really clicked with me yet. This and Killzone 3 are making a strong case that I may just hate modern first-person shooters now and it has nothing to do with the games themselves.

it's getting 8s and people are saying it's a lot of fun, but not something super mind-blowingly incredible. Calling it "solid" is not overrating it at all.
Didn't get stuck there but I think I'm going to have to restart 2-1 (360). I have a glitch where Ishi runs straight off some stairs and floats in the air, then gets stuck and doesn't trigger the next piece. It's right where the chick blows up a bridge. Restarting the checkpoint still results in Ishi air walking...
Smision said:
i think an 8 is about right. its a game with great graphics, presentation, dialogue, set pieces, and combat (the skill shot system). but it also is crazy linear and heavily scripted to the point where it is obvious where 90% of ambushes will occur.
its a great new IP though, and hopefully we'll see more from it the improves upon what they introduced.

Either nobody bought the PC version, or nobody is playing Echoes mode on there because throughout my first run of these levels I'm getting ranked between 25-50 on most of them. Unless there is an issue with the ranking system, it's crazy to think I would be that high from barely trying.
Can someone please give me confirmation on how the Gears 3 beta works with this game. I was reading there is a code inside the box that will give you access to it. Others are saying it just comes from having the disc.
Do you need the code and the disc, just the disc, or just the code ?

i loaded my code before loading the game for the first time. i see the gears 3 beta from the games title screen, but am not sure if that only occurred because of the code. the leaflet with the code says "This code also gives you access to... the Gears of War 3 Beta" so i imagine it is needed to play the beta

Has a few glitchy moments (PC version) of enemies floating through the air, and even I had an issue during scripted moment where a bridge was lowering and I went over it too soon or something and fell off the map. Also where you're controlling
and the prompt for destroying the gate never came up so I had to restart the checkpoint after I walked around that area for about 15 mins before realizing something broke.
But overall, they haven't been ruining the game for me and it's a blast. The constant adrenaline rushing moments and increasingly ridiculous storyline has been the main draw for me. I'm playing on Very Hard and honestly, it's a cakewalk and similar to Normal/Hard on any other FPS. Which is somewhat disappointing because unlike Gears or something similar, I won't have a reason to go through it again other then to collect Newsbots or the insect swarms.

Echoes I know you can play offline. I haven't connected mine to XBL yet but I had the option to play Echoes last night. Not sure about Anarchy though -- I think that's online only.Kingpen said:

Only got to play for around 2 hours last night and got to 2-3 I think? Can't wait to get home from work and play tonight.
Couple of things:
- Love the black bars on my 4:3 monitor. I prefer to play like this and keep the 16:9 aspect for the game, than lose image. In Dead Space 2 that was a problem with some of the "cutscenes" as the characters would get cut off. This way, it seems like i'm watching a movie.
- Hate the size of the character. I hate feeling like a dwarf, it was terrible in Killzone and it isn't much better here. Other characters always look down on me. Come on people, what the fuck.
