If it wasn't for the juvenile humor I'd say this was a day one purchase. Maybe it's silly to ask for maturity when you're playing an over the top gratuitous gory gib game, but that's just my feeling. I don't mind the braggadocio-based over the top dialog, and I love the overall attitude and characters, but "dick-tits" and "poop-passage" and other lines like that are super cringe worthy. Sure, that's the point, but it really reeks of targeting the middle school market. Not a fan of that.

Yep. Im not pretending to be some high-brow art snob expecting Shakespeare out of my video games...I think I can appreciate a little bit of everything. But it was just really off putting and made me feel silly playing it. Like you, I've never really had that happen before. Everything else I loved about it. Maybe that's hypocritical considering the rest of the game's content but that's the impression the game left me with.

Thinking I might just do this if I decide to buy it. Seems like a good podcast game anyway since the focus is on combos and high scores rather than story progression.

This game feels like a promotion for Monster Energy drink.
Gameplay just didn't click with me, not a fan of Xtreme combo's and such

Doesn't feel different in tone to me, more like an evolution of bro-ness from the Unreal/Gears games.
Played through the demo five times and had a blast, although I must admit that I totally suck at it. The game has that nice Gears of War heft to the core mechanics thats feels damn good in an FPS.
I probably only scratched the surface of all the skill shots in the demo. Kept trying for the colon-cleanser shot (think that's what it's called, lol) but couldn't line it up.

Non-goldies, here's a download link. I haven't tested it yet though.

I agree. I also found the gameplay to be soulless.TheLegendary said:

Just the fact they added leaderboards keeps me playing this demo over and over. Need to get those 3 stars!

That's pathetic. It's a demo. It's advertisement, if anything. So on Xbox Live, basically you have to PAY for your advertisements? I wish they'd reverse that so I can get my demos when I cancel Gold next month.
But OT, is the game much more like Quake III/UT than anything else? I haven't followed the game too much as I overhype everything I like.

I can only get just under 8,000. Still trying to figure out how they come up with the points on things.
The first time you do each skill shot nets you a larger bonus. Best example would be the voodoo doll. First time you do it you get 500. Every other time you only get 100. You just have to be more imaginative. Combine attacks and such that you wouldn't think of doing.Metalic Sand said:

I drank something and it fucked up my screen and I couldn't see anything. Not sure what the point was.

You get an Intoxicated points bonus for kills under the influence. Also get a toxic bonus for kills while you're poisoned.

Spitz said:Satisfying Demo can't wait to get my fingers on the final game. Since E3 my most wanted runner up behind Gears 3 and the demo proves this even more. Call me Epic Games fanboy and i will sign that.
Epic is not really the main developer behind the game.

Yeah, that's kind of the point with this game.

Glad you guys are enjoying the demo. There are many ways you can climb to the top of the leaderboards; the demo is built for replayability in mind with the various shots.
I <3 you, man. I preordered this on Amazon a while back because for some reason, you Epic boys know how to put fun back into gaming.

Yes.
So after a not so so convincing approach (at first i wasn't totally feeling the game despite my goodwill for it) i eventually got into it, and man it's a blast.
I've been playing it for almost 3 hours straight, and i still feel like playing (currently i'm 1271st with 9355 and 3 stars).
The "problem" here is that you really need to erase all your generic FPS knowledge and start focusing on the core of what Bullestorm is, so it's definitely NOT a very immediate, pick up & play kinda game.
Once you get its dynamics, its rhythm, its rules, you're pretty much fucked: it's just too damn addictive.
Day one for sure... i was already anticipating it before this demo, now it's probably my most wanted game for this year. :lol:
PS: i have only one complain... i know the single player will be terribly short, with this whole score thing they'll put in a 4 hours campaign and that's it.
