Anarchy isn't working for me at all. I went into one match and got dropped because of lag. I've tried about ten times since then and it still hasn't connected me to a match. Any other PS3 folks having trouble with this or is it just me?

I'm on the PS3 and have yet to find people to get in a match with. So annoying, but I love this game.
How many people are on the PS3 anyways?

The PS3 port is totally fine. I own both systems, but I bought the game on PS3; I imagine for the same reasons as you. Looks great, runs smooth. Some people have reported framerate drops, but I haven't noticed them. I'd advise anyone who wants to be sure they have the absolute best version to buy it on 360, but any downgrades the PS3 version might have don't impede the experience in the slightest. If you thought the demo was fine, you'll think the game is fine. The demo is actually an oldish build, and the full game runs a little better.
Game is amazing by the way. Definitely worth the $60 for the single player campaign alone.

After about fifteen minutes of trying I finally entered another match. It was just as laggy as the last making it impossible to play and was dropped after two waves.
Is it always this bad or is it just a crappy time to find a match? Still, the mode seemed really fun in the brief time I spent with it.

I do not recommend buying this game for the PS3, constant framedrops (drops probably below 25 almost every "cool" skillshot u make), bad textures, extreme loading times u die once u wait 10 - 15 seconds just to return back to the checkpoint.
PS3 version imo is crap, haven't tried the other versions yet but if you want to try it I recommend you do it on the 360, PC. And if you don't have a 360, PC, I would say wait for below 30$.

Only on 2.2, but this is GOTY material. I bow down to People Can Fly. Jeebus...
Just beat it last night - this is a hell of a game. Such a refreshing experience in the sea of CoD clones out there. It stumbles a bit near the end, losing sight of what makes the rest of the game fun, and the "ending" is totally unsatisfying and cheap. Still, the meat of the game was an absolute blast.
As many have said, the lack of a New Game+ in a game with this kind of design is criminal. I can't believe it was not made a priority during development.

Just finished it. Fucking fantastic game. The graphics are phenomenal. The way the game makes you actually look at the environment and use it makes for a very fun. The game's weapons are very fun as well and with the help of the environment, the game never feels like it's too much. The set pieces are really some of the best looking I've seen on the 360. Seriously, this is one of the best looking 360 games.
Was a little let down by the ending as I expected something really big.

Got 3-stars on all of the non + echo maps. Only a few of them took more than one try. What are the + echoes? Do they count toward your total score or are they something else?

The only thing this game is missing is a new game+ option and a letter grade at the end of your campaign (arbitrary addition, but always fun to have).

Here's a question for anyone who has the game on PC. I bought it in the shop today, only to find out my disk drive is busted. I usually use steam but this was sort of an impulse buy.
So my question is, can I type my CD key in GFWL and download the game or will I have to go out and buy a new disk drive tomorrow?

Finished it today. Loved it all the way through. I love the pace of the game, was like WE GOTTA HAUL ASS all the time.
Torpedo is my favorite skillshot.
Did anybody else encounter lots of scripting errors? There were atleast 5 occasions where the game wouldn't progress me after I died once (door won't open, prompt for climbing over an obstacle won't appear etc.) Going back to the main menu and hitting Continue fixed this tho. PC version btw.

The ending was kind of disappointing
That being said, wishlist for Bulletstorm 2.
1. A little more variety. It was good in Bulletstorm, but could be better.
2. Keep the linearity, but at least make SOME gameplay segments that are really wide open.
3. MOAR SKILLSHOTS. They were all good and such, but they need to revamp the Team Skillshot system. It's very wonky with its detection and somethings I feel should be team skillshots, aren't.
4. Trishka gets a leash. This would open up team skillshots in campaign and give us a door for co-op.
5. Competitive multiplayer. You can't leash other players, but the kicks and bulletslides would knock them back a bit, no slo mo. Similar to how you get knocked back when a Skull shoots you with a shotgun. Although you MIGHT have to put some kind of cooldown meter on Bulletslides, since everyone would just traverse the gamespace with that.
6. New Game + obviously
7. More, crazier weapons.

you would expect the last thing you'd do is some crazy epic fight, or some kind of really awesome gameplay sequence. Nope, just run back to the Ulyesses after a Quick Time boss fight. Imagine how powerful it would have been if you had to fight Ishi while he is telling you he isn't in control and he's sorry when he shoots at you. Or even fighting Sarrano with some leash on leash action. Definitely dropped the ball there. The Final Echo soldiers were boring enemies to fight also. Far too resilient and just terrible bullet sponges.

On the last act on very hard now. It's quite different, you have to be more defensive and theres less time to toy with the enemies. Found it hard to afford as much ammo as I would have wanted at times and haven't done many upgrades. Also find myself just relying on the most powerful tools to get by. Still fun of course but I think hard will be the setting I play on future replays.
Had one scripting error. On 5-2 Ishi and Trishka are supposed to get in a lift but they just stood outside it and an invisible wall stopped me from getting in. Had to restart the chapter to get it to work. Luckily it was near the start though.

1. I thought bulletstorm was great in terms of mixing it up. I never really found myself doing the same things twice
2. Yeah I think more open environments would be great for Bulletstorm. Maybe different paths to take.
4. Co-op is a must.
5. Yes to competitive. Team Skillshots in multiplayer (like Double Pene). Players should only be leashable after they are frozen from a kick. Leashing a teammate who is suspended in the air after a bulletkick will free him up from the frozen state. Put the level-up RPG elements from anarchy in competitive.
7. Yes, more weapons AND drivable vehicles! Want so bad.
More more types of Anarchy and echo modes as well. Keep the epic campaign cutscene, great storyline, new interesting environments and interesting characters.
I want Bulletstorm 2 so badly. I'll be there Day 1.
Edit: Theater mode

I also opted to play BS before KZ3 just for something new. Been toying with a replay or starting something new - although I think KZ3 will be great regardless.
Maybe play something out of my backlog first like 3D Dot Heroes or Red Dead Redemption to wipe the FPS slate clean before starting KZ3. (Played KZ2 at launch and enjoyed it immensely).
Either way BS was a fun ride and I'm looking forward to a sequel or some sort, even if it's just Duke Nukem Forever.
My partner in the beginning was cracking me up with the observational humor. Then I get stuck with the dull asshole Ishi for the remainder of what I've played; What a fucking letdown. Ishi will definitely make Game Informer's top terrible characters of the year list.
Everything else is pretty damn good though.

Finished it last night, really enjoyed it. Only 2 other people on my friends list own this, which is strange, I thought loads more people would buy it, ah well, their loss.
I tried doing some multilplayer and couldn't get into a game. It just sat at searching and didn't do anything.

My fantasy is that my girlfriend was actually a young high school girl.
The game has a glitch in Act 6 Chapter 3.
Anyone else got this?
There is one room after you make "grilled meat" from one of the monsters, I kill 3 enemies and the NPCs just stand there and the dramatic music just plays, there is nothing else to kill or anywhere to go. I tried it over and over and nothing happens. I even watched the walkthrough video, the general has to move forward and activate a switch, but he just stands there with ishi
Anyone else got this?
Why can't I just put a bullet in Ishi's head? He's fucking annoying and I won't even bother to face him at the end of the game. Could save me some time.
How about I shoot Saranno in the foot and hold him hostage. What the fuck is this shit letting him a weapon and doing whatever he wants?

I've had no issues whatsoever with lag in Anarchy mode on the 360. Blaming XBL for issues with a peer-to-peer game is ridiculous. My problem with Anarchy mode is that it just isn't very fun. All it takes is one turd in the punchbowl to ruin the entire experience. If one out of four of you isn't working towards changing up the skillshots or doing the bonuses properly, you'll never progress. Some of this may just be people being a-holes, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and say they simply don't know how to play.
