No no, it is better still, because my ally will not appear at the start of the mission and neither will the prompt to climb over the shit at the top of the hill, so I can't play the game at all.

Finished it. Very enjoyable. Definitely one of the most entertaining fps campaigns I've played in awhile. Game is pretty buggy though.

Epic is stealing my heart with this Michael Bay style they adopted. Gears of War 2 and now Bulletstorm. FUN

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #123 on:** February 25, 2011, 08:20:21 AM »

Anarchy is fun as fuck. I will buy the DLC for it even though People Can Fly are fucking distinguished mentally-challenged.

EA and Epic Games have announced paid for downloadable content.

The Gun Sonata pack includes three new maps for the game's Anarchy mode and two new maps for the Echo mode.

There are also two new Leash enhancements, the Flamingo and the Pulp.

The pack, due out in the spring, costs 800 Microsoft Points (£6.85) or $9.99 / £7.99 on PlayStation 3. No mention was made of the PC version.

checkpoints need to fucking die

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #125 on:** February 26, 2011, 06:21:24 PM »

if you're gonna make your levels look like scattered ruins, might be a nice idea to have a clear path through them, or at least an objective screen to give me a fucking hint as to where i should be going, and don't just have my teammates disappear while you're at it

so glad i rented this, it's just cram-packed with annoying bullshit

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #126 on:** February 26, 2011, 09:39:19 PM »

"What kind of a prick idiot are you?!?"

"Uh...I dunno...the good kind?"

that made me laugh way more than it should have

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #127 on:** February 26, 2011, 11:33:44 PM »

timed "escapes" with lots of dead ends, awesome way to stretch your 3 hour game out

just ran out of time in one of these and hit a glitch, character just stands there doing nothing, been stuck there for 3 minutes, top notch qa dudes

shit game

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #128 on:** February 26, 2011, 11:42:03 PM »

I really enjoyed the game but yeah its buggy. One time I needed to crouch to go under a spot but one of my teammates was sitting there blocking the entrance and wouldn't move. I had to reset. Also yeah if you fuck up the timed missions weird bugs can happen like here.

i enjoyed the demo way more, the score-based arcade stuff is a lot of fun, but i found the single player really irritating in parts, particularly the "sweet spot" you have to hit to climb over stuff

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #130 on:** February 26, 2011, 11:55:40 PM »

The climbing over stuff is definitely the worst part of the game imo. They should have designed it where you did automatic mantle moves when you hit places like that. Or just designed the areas where less of that existed when you are in combat. This ain't gears.

I found it to be frustrating because I slid alot and hitting those barriers stopped the momentum of the combat. Plus its touchy about when you can hit the A button. But like said overall I really enjoyed it.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #131 on:** February 27, 2011, 12:36:44 AM »

here's another thing that's complete fucking bullshit - goddamned flail gun, even when aiming directly on someone, will stick to a wall or a corner 50% of the time instead and they'll take no damage from the explosion

also, for a game called bulletstorm you sure do run out of bullets a lot

maybe they should have called it bulletsprinkle instead

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #132 on:** February 27, 2011, 01:53:21 AM »

Sounds like a game better saved for a $20 price tag, not $60.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #133 on:** February 27, 2011, 08:11:52 AM »

Yea, that flail sticks to stuff way outside your reticule. Including your dipshit teammates that always stand in front of you and bullets won't pass through.

I haven't been bothered by anything else though, not yet at least. You aren't supposed to have a lot of ammo because you are supposed to be using skillshots.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #134 on:** February 27, 2011, 10:30:25 AM »

i never ran out of regular machine gun ammo, maybe that's what they meant - "hey dude it is a storm of bullets, not a storm of flails"

the problem with the skill shots is that about halfway through the game they start dropping all kinds of enemies who are resistant to your arsenal - some mutants dodge your leash, those bubbling blister things can only be killed if you hit the blisters, and everyone has a supernatural reaction time to your sniper rifle shots which allows them to start dodging during the bullet time (leading to some bullshit misses)

haven't checked out multiplayer yet

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #135 on:** February 27, 2011, 10:50:39 AM »

I never had problems with ammo myself. Especially the regular ammo. You have to pick and choose some of the charged shots that you can buy but by the end I was loaded up on those too with nearly every weapon.

Also while some of the creatures are immune to certain things as you go on, there is generally a counter for this. Like shooting them in the legs. Or sliding into them. Or the burnouts being very weak against the charged bouncer shots.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #136 on:** February 27, 2011, 01:51:39 PM »

fun game.
just wish it was dumber. every piece of dialog should be some stupid one-liner. so many missed opportunities.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #137 on:** February 27, 2011, 06:08:59 PM »

just finished it. pretty fun all the way through. Sarrano was the injection of DUMB the game needed. Everything he said was gold.

Ending was lame.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #138 on:** March 01, 2011, 10:18:14 PM »

wow, this fucking chopper shit in 5-3 is distinguished mentally-challenged. you can lose all of your health in the first 10 seconds and there is no regen or checpoint for the rest of the session.

oops surpise, while you were shooting at 4 vultures to the left, there was a crumbling building to the right you had to shoot at or you instantly die. do overs! cross your fingers your save doesnt reset!

drew · « **Reply #139 on:** March 02, 2011, 02:58:37 PM »

got it

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #140 on:** March 02, 2011, 09:33:34 PM »

level 7-1 is inspired by the end of Killzone 2, great idea guys.

Sho Nuff · « **Reply #141 on:** March 07, 2011, 02:04:02 AM »

Late to the party, had to finish DS2 first. This game is the shit on waffles, I love it so much

Beat it on very hard last night. Had none of the issues all of you seemed to have. Checkpointing seemed fine. Only had trouble in the spaceport in the room with 3 bosses and a shitload of guys.

I usually assume a lot of issues here are exaggerated.

Cormacaroni · « **Reply #143 on:** March 07, 2011, 10:04:57 AM »

I'm enjoying it on PC but man oh man, did NVidia cock-up the driver release for this. They released a new driver specifically, then got the name of the Bulletstorm .exe wrong so it had no effect

Of course, random forum folks managed to figure out a hack within hours. PC gaming!

duckman2000 · « **Reply #144 on:** March 14, 2011, 03:41:01 PM »

This game kicks ass in all the right ways. Very pleasant to look at too, which somehow makes the carnage all the more appealing. And the hokey chatter feels spot on.

duckman2000 · « **Reply #145 on:** March 19, 2011, 04:46:43 PM »

Man, I went through almost the whole game without bothering with the secondary fire functions,

@ me. The good thing is that I can now play through the most kickassenest FPS campaign in years all over again, and it feels like a whole new game. So damned good.
