Shack PSA: Bulletstorm Demo on Xbox 360, PS3 Today; Crysis 2 Multiplayer Beta on Live

So...maybe Im used to PC games a little too much, but is there NO jumping in Bulletstorm? WTF? I could understand if its 3rd person,but a first person shooter without jumping? No buy. I got stuck on tons of shit in the game. Bars, the edge of a discarded gun (seriously), and other random debris. You can duck, slide, run, and shoot....but it could have added loads more kill combos if you could jump.

Also...the FOV kind of sucks. I played on PS3, then watched my friend on XBOX 360, and it felt the same...just a little claustrophobic, which i understand seems to be the normal thing for UE3 engine games unless otherwise noted. I had instances of sliding into a fight, trying to boot the guy, having him somehow run past me, then we basically had a running dog fight for a minute until I could back up enough to hit him again. Not cool.

Graphic wise, its on par with other UE games, which isnt necessarily a bad thing. It ran smoothly, and didnt have any hiccups. IMO, it seemed a tad smoother on the PS3, but it could also be the older LCD TV my friend has versus a plasma that I own. Im not sure on that...but it looked good.

The humor is a little cheesy at times...i think they tried to squeeze in a little too much vulgarity, but it fits, and its fun. The gore is excessive, but it too has its place here, and it seems right at home.

AI was not good, but it could be that it was just a demo. Basically, I saw a lot of badguys do the "run straight towards the good guy's gun", which made killing too easy on EASY and NORMAL modes...but I didnt try HARD. I decided to focus on the different ways I could kill someone instead, and that was fun for a few runthroughs.

All in all, I felt it was a B- or C+ if I had to grade it. To me, it is not worth the $60, especially if there is no jumping. I think a FPS should have that as a standard. It was fun...but not $60 fun.

Its just my opinion though.

you people stop moaning about the freakin' demo...i mean who cares anyway...really i dont give a rat ass about the fuckin' demo...i'll buy it for pc anyway.

They're Gold only btw. Funny that no one even mentions that anymore, they just expect to get crappy pay per demo service from 360.

Bulletstorm's just not for me. I just don't like the juvenile humor, even if it's tongue-in-cheek. I just don't want to shoot someone in the ass, that isn't my idea of fun. I don't care if the gameplay is amazing, if you're shoving that in my face I won't be interested to keep playing.

Tried Crysis multiplayer and it reinforced that I do not want to be playing that game MP. Way too many out of nowhere kills, way too many times when I was wandering around the map trying to find where the hell the enemy was. The only time I found that I could get a kill is if I accidentally got the drop on the enemy. I know a lot of people like that fast COD-style game, but that just isn't fun to me. On a positive note, the game is just gorgeous and I love the control layout on the 360 pad. I didn't think they'd pull it off, but they did. Still, I'll probably just buy it on PC and play the SP. If it looks as good as I think it will, it will be one hell of an achievement for CryTek

It would be great if the Crysis 2 demo was on PC. I thought they were staying PC centric with this one.

Played three matches in Crysis 2. Finding a game was a pain but that may be just early launch stuff. I didn't know they had an unlock system in the game. Looks similar to CoD system. They also had killstreak perk thing with exactly the same rewards at level 3, 5, and 7 (UAV, Orbital Strike, and Air Gunner).

I like sliding around and hitting people across the map. Graphics are amazing. Gameplay feels tight. The game speed is not as fast as CoD but not as slow as BC2. I think the speed feels just a bit faster than MoH.

boo! no pc love =(

Really didn't see what all the fuss is about for Crysis 2 MP. Was very meh to me. Bulletstorm was more fun.

Damn it, I wish that said "Crysis 2 Multiplayer Beta on OnLive."

so whats the verdict on Bulettstorm demo? Worthy sibling to Painkiller or....?

You know, I have all a PS3, Xbox, Wii and a PC and I pretty much play all my games on PC. I think if I did download the demo I would suck in Crysis 2. I love mouse and keyboard for FPS's. I look like a 2 year old when I play with a controller now, lol. Like everyone else I wish Steam would put a demo out for PC. Then again, most people would just use it for a benchmark or see if their PC could run it. Played both Crysis's and loved them both. Sure, the story isn't the high point but neither is the story in TRON but it's still fun to go see.

C'mon Crytek, we want a demo on PC!

I wish i was home right now.

Maximum ass kicking!
