I will say the team has the maturity of a bunch of three year olds, but even three year olds can make good games apparently.

#42

at the end of the trailer it should say “the game ain’t gonna pirate itself hahaha”

#43

Hey sersoft, have you bought any piece of software ever in your life?

edit: It seems you have bought Valve games, at least.

#44

The humor can be childish at times, but if you let the game just play out not trying to be really mature even there toilet humor is pretty funny. Aside from toilet humor there are actually a good bit of funny lines that aren’t immature. I also like the anti-humor of the robot companion.

#45

I didn’t say we don’t have the maturity of a three year old.

#46

So i’m about half way through the game and my poor 3 year old laptop is barely keeping up with it, which is a shame cause it ran dead space 2 on higher settings no problem -_- that aside though i’d have to say i’m quite happy with Bulletstorm. even on low settings the game is refreshingly pretty visually

Taken under the assumption that its not even remotely intended to be a serious game ive found the style, maturity level and references to be spot on and i’m hoping that even if the game itself isn’t as well received, it will help spark the idea that not every game needs to be this intense epic dramatic story and that games can just have a “screw it lets do something weird and fun” mindset.

my biggest complaint is the voice actor for Ishi … i get that he’s suppose to be half robotic but the voice acting itself just has no life or flow to it. though not the worst voice acting ive heard but very very far from the best.

Enjoying the game so far, worth a purchase.

Garry from Garry’s Mod?

Why should I care about the opinion of the guy who made the cancer that is Gmod?

#50

Garry’s Mod is fun, being an open-ended sandbox… You can’t credit that to him though, because it’s what the players make that makes the game what it is.

But yeah his opinion sucks and so far I think the game is ok, but I just… “acquired” it last night. If the price went down, but it was just released…

#51

Only part I agree with Garry on is the no jump thing, but sliding makes up for it.

#52

Why the hell can’t I jump?

Beyond that, I haven’t played too much but so far it seems like its going to get old very soon. We shall see.
In other new, the words “cock sucker” and “dick” are not funny unless given context that makes them funny. Seriously, this isn’t humor, its idiocy. I hope it gets better.

#53

Its not all meant to be funny, some of it is characterization of how immature and fratboyish Gray is.

#54

Becuase you never need to jump, why add a jump that you wont use.

And plus, Garry is just mad his mod sucks.

#55

GMOD is fun with a few friend messing around, and Garry deserves credit for creating something so open.
In any case, not having a jump is annoyingly limiting. There are so many obstacles I could clear by just jumping but the devs won’t let you. Its lazy design and should be avoided.

#56

Not having a jump is just strait up annoying. Its also counter-immersive, its such a standard in games that when you try and jump and can’t you think “oh ya this GAME won’t let me jump”

#57

Dunno must just be who hasn’t even tried to jump over anything.

#58

Got it yesterday. Im at act 5 atm. It’s awesome.

#59

ohh so you can’t jump… I almost reinstalled yesterday

anyway yeah, game sux

#60

I have a gag reflex at these type of games, and rightly so dick jokes everywhere…
