Yes it is. They should have released it at least a week before the main game's release.

Anxiously awaiting this game to unlock tomorrow. This should serve as a good distraction till I get Killzone 3. :grin:

So... is it Co-op or not? any info on that?

I think they stopped the co op part.
Watch this Bulletstorm : Co-op cancelled as it 'broke down game'

There is a co-op mode.. but that will not cover the story. Some arcade type Co-Op play, i guess.

But where is fun in that. Damn they took this last decision quite late don't you think??

yea.. i don't know what made them to take that decision. Lets hope that the other mode lives up to the name.

Lets just hope. So it is releasing for PC also tomorrow right???

Today. It is already out in US.

Thats good. Now I don't have to wait to play game like assassin's creed brotherhood.

Game runs now. But, can't save the progress. There is a work around for that too, but it is lengthy. Will wait for proper thing.

Are you playing it??? How? it has to be released tomorrow no??

^ LOL.

Okay.. this game is Gorgeous. Right from the mainmenu. Running constantly at 30FPS, with everything set to max (1920x1080). Sweet.

My Pc config is
Intel Core 2 Duo 4400 2.2GHz
2GB RAM
Sapphire Radeon 5770
Max Resolution- 1440*900

What do you think it will work fine on my PC???

It will breeze. Don't worry.

^^thanks a lot. But seriously how are you playing when you are the one who said it will release in Europe on 23rd and as far as I know we get europian versions.

@offtopic
Nice avatar.

game is running perfectly , and you need to use another game's key to enable the autosave , though the multiplayer doesnt works .

You also have to option to get it from Steam or directly purchase it from EA's website (via EA Download Manager) and unlock it on the release date.

Check the review of bulletstorm HERE.

completed ACT 1. Pissed off a thing from which I should have stayed away. Now its too late. Just reached a abandoned city in ACT 2.

V

Preordered my copy of BulletStorm limited edition (PC) this morning. :toast:

Bulletstorm DLC announced
LOL. Now thats EA style. They could have included these things in the game itself but no They want the goddamn DLC.
It includes 5 extra maps & two Leash enhancements.

The ones who are already playing this game are requested to post some screenshots of it in this thread-I've heard that this game looks quite stunning at higher resolutions.

S

Completed Act 1. Loving the game!

Guys I strongly suggest against drifting off topic into the scene source discussion or where one sourced the game from (if illegitimate copy). Stick with the game discussion.

Just search google images for bulletstorm and change the size to larger than than 2 MP and you'll see. Its really damn good.

Completed Act 2. Took a leap of faith.. and reached Act 3.

screenshots guise ?

Now on ACT 5. Taking the game slowly. Rushing into this game will only result in monotony (personal experience)

Faun said:

Dude just google it. You will get better results and high res pics.

vamsi_krishna said:

So how is the game??? I know its good read many reviews but you know talking to someone who is playing is different. Reviews gives first impression but you'll give me better idea.

awesome game.. lot of skill based killing is making it interesting than just plain shooting!!

as vamsi said playing slowly (using a lot of skill shots instead of just rushing and killing) will be very rewarding

_

So just a simple question. With how many styles I can kill a single foe??

^ nearly 70-80 ways.

On Act 7. Just had a encounter in The Ulysses with the bald General. The funny thing is, for a FPS game, this game has lot of quick time events.

vamsi_krishna said:
^ nearly 70-80 ways.

Goddamn. Are you serious I mean 70-80 ways are not a joke they are a lot I mean a lot. Damn I am going to play this game today after my classes.

You cannot pull off any skillmove at any time. You need particular assets,weapon to pull off a skillmove. In any way, skillmoves are the real fun in Bulletstorm.

Yeah. I just realized that because I was playing this game some moments ago. Man the dialogues are kind of abusive for minors not for us eh. I loved this game I don't have anything in my arsenal right now because I was playing prologue right now. LOL but I will complete this game for sure.

V

Got my copy yesterday & currently I am on Act 4 chapter 1. I have yet to try the multiplayer. Will post the multiplayer review once I wrap up the single player.

varunb said:

You are damn fast. I usually take things really slowly I want to enjoy every bit of the game so I rarely complete 1 act in one day. LOL

Played the game until the ship crashed. the starting was really fun. Wine and guns go hand-in-hand.

Will continue after i fix my pc.

V

No I am not that fast. Besides I have no other game to pass my time except my l4d2. The only thing I am not happy about this game is frequent stuttering. Although its not a big deal but still I like to have a smooth fps when I am playing. I tried various INI tweaks but nothing helped. Not to mention that I had to turn off in-game 8xAA because it was dropping my fps big time from 50-60 to straight 30Hz. Disabling vsync also eased the stuttering issue.

^^ So you too have this issue. I was thinking that its just my PC. I am also facing stuttering issue. Damn if the game is running smoothly at all parts then why the hell is this happening. Damn it sometimes it spoils the pleasure of the game at certain times but nevertheless its a great game. I have some games to play right now so taking this game real slow to enjoy at full extent because once you complete the game you won't like to play again because everything is known. At least this is the case of mine specially with FPSs.

V

Well this game has re-playability factor for me. I would definitely give the single player campaign another go if my plate is not full.

Many game has replayability factor. But the thing is now you know where enemies are gonna pop up how to kill that beast exactly. These are surprises which you can't get in a game ever if you are playing it again.

Completed the game last night. The game was very good. It felt repetitive now and then.. but just when things start to feel repetitive, game blesses you with a new weapon or upgrade, adding new skillshots.

Story has been a real downer in this game. And the ending hinted sequel. Lets hope that story will not be the same in that sequel.

I would give it a solid 8.5/10

Just started it a while back, reached ACT 2.

WOW. Loving it. This is one install I will keep for a while. Finally an FPS after a long time with dynamic and fun mechanics. And it is uber macho. Made by men, for men...!

Dialogues are corny, but not heavy on the system. All maxed out.

i remember one .

Trishka "I'll Kill your Dick"

Grey "What does that even mean?!?....I'll kill YOUR dick!"

i loled so hard..

^^
Ya they are bad for sure. Damn..! Swearing is rampant.

There is nothing wrong with swearing. But this game has excessive swearing. Some of them are nice, but most of them can be a miss. Just look at GTA, they have same levels of profanity, but lines will hit the player perfectly.

Oh man! That line had me laughing my guts out. It was so dam cheesy, that I think the dialogue writers must have been high on weed while writing them out. :))

There is another one of Grayson's smart as* comments: "I named him Waggleton P. Tallylicker, but I never got the chance to tell him. He will be remembered." :grin:

And one more classic when Ishi and Gray are traveling in an elevator:

Grayson: "Nice view... You wanna make out? Just two gruff military hardened dudes just sitting in an elevator snuggling out their woes in a totally hetero way."
Ishi: "Hah!"
Grayson: "That was a nervous chuckle. Either your human side gets the joke, or your robot side likes the way I look in these pants."
Ishi: "Perhaps a little of both."
Grayson: "Hey I'm not judgin'. I'm just a good looking man."

yeah...these were awesome...i also like how after a kill you get achievements like "ASSPLOSION", "GANG BANG" etc.....the game does have cheesy humor but its pretty clear that the dialogues were intentionally wrote this way..

People should buy this game in order to enjoy coop which is more fun. Only the multiplayer has coop & in that mode, we have to fight waves in a time limit. I just told my friend to buy it. If anyone else is interested then let me know

At times there should be a leeway for swearing, specially for children and likes. Though they rated PEGI what ever, was just commenting on that.

Yea the swear words are out of context.

asingh said:

Well its a mature rated game so children should better stay away from it if they don't want to spoil themselves.

You want children to stay away by themselves? They can't. Thats why they are children. On the records, ESRB rated it M, PEGI rated it 18.

In India, PEGI and ESRB are equal to non-existent for most parents. So don't bother with these 18+ warnings.

Well parents have to take care. They gotta know what their kids are playing and if they can't we can't blame developers for that now can we???

JojoTheDragon said:

Well.. In India, Games are non existent to parents. so, that not much of a problem.

Its true all right. But the gamers/geeks who become parents are sure gonna know.

Yeah like us. Of course when the time will come.

It is not about parents getting a handle. It is ethics and morals of the same. Hope you understand.

Hey am I the only one who bought this game here ? I thought someone would give me some company. :-(

I usually dont buy games but this game deserves to be bought.

EPIC Game(no pun intended), looks very good, minor stutter issues when streaming but very well designed.

PS: Did you guys get the skillshot where you have to kick a miniboss in the @$$ after tiring him, I lol'ed hard at that move.

Will post some screenshots soon.

yea.. its like mini volcano erupting

PS: Here one another round of swearing:
Sarano: "Got myself a scotch and violently fiddling with my balls in anticipation"

Finished Bulletstorm today.
Its a very short game, but I like this approach. Keep it short and sweet. As Half life did few years back, releasing chapters.

I'm also playing it on hard. And i must say, its feels like easy.

I'm now in the dino stage.

Difficulty cranks up as you progress. It was quite challenging in later stages.

^Glad to hear that.

BTW, Do you think C2 copied the slide feature from BulletStorm?

No not at all. Crysis 2 slide felt more alive than this. This slide is kind of supernatural. We can travel to Japan by sliding in bulletstorm.

If crysis 2 was inspired from a game in sliding department.. the closest game would be Splinter Cell: Conviction.

Yeah, in BS nothing can stop the slide except obstacles.

JojoTheDragon said:

Or you can press the back button once, lol moment is when you slide up a stair.

I did it once. There were two set of stairs, and there weren't any obstacles. So, I sided and reached the top.. and immediately directed the slide to another set of stairs when led me downward.. and then again directed the slide to another set of stairs which took me to the top. I repeated the cycle more than 4 times. It was a big LOL moment.

I started playing this yesterday! It's enjoyable!
That toy dino level was the best till now! I am stuck in a position where Ishi is fixing a bridge and I' gotta kill some snipers around!

^ i'm at the exact same level. Gonna continue today, i hope.

7 Acts in total.

7 acts and 3 chapters each.

I liked playing with the Dino robo. In weapons I liked Sniper most (a WANTED feeling :-D

) and then using Charged cannon. That really helped me to clean a lot of messy situations. Charge, fire and wait till it does its job.

I'm on Act 6. The game is really awesome now. Earlier it was a walk in the park even in Hard difficulty but now its more challenging. Loving it.
In cod games when you need to cover your pals while they were hackin computers or something, its was just plain shoot them all strategy. But now in BulletStorm you can just go in the field open wide and have some fun with the skill shot system. man it feels awesome.

But one thing i hate are those lame black lines that keep moving with the camera.
I had to set postprocessing to low to get rid of them. And cut-scenes and weapon sights pixelating. Who am i to complain?

^^
I am also on Act 6 Ch 2. That Hekaton level was very good. Loved it!. Yeah even I get pixelated cutscenes; I thought I used to get them as I play the game on low.

This game seems too good for a low end rig

Using the Sniper is the thing I like the best in the game

I don't have these issues(except a freezing issue, happens temporarily, most likely due to streaming), the game runs damn fine otherwise.

PS: All maxed out.

Well, you got a 5850, i have a 5770.

Anyways, finished the game today. 8.5/10 from me. -1.5 because of the problematic textures. Awesome gameplay, acceptable story.

I have 8800GT

Low FPS should occur but texture corruption should not occur even if you have 5770.

I'm getting 55-60 FPS
1080P res
AA = 4x
Other all high, except Postprecessing.

Its a issue with the game i think

I also have 5770 but it doesn't give me decent fps at all but well it gives a playable fps.

^ What fps do you get?
And please post your rig.

I get around 25 to 30fps sometimes less.
Intel Core 2 Duo 4400 2.2GHz
Intel DG965RY mobo
2 GB DDR2 667MHz RAM

Max Resolution -- 1440*900

I get always 40FPS+, all maxed on this rig below, but game has streaming issues.

Streaming issue means stopping sometimes right??? Framedrops???

gameranand said:

Yes, when loading textures, need a ssd very badly.

have completely dropped this from playing from past 5 days due to shuttering issue on act 2 chapter 1 .wa8ing for a patch or so 2 come out soon.BTW i totally disliked the story and characters only and only liked its game play and kill skills that something new .had been playing echoes mode only in that it does not stutter that much.

Brace yourself because a patch is probably not coming(unlike activision who listened to its users and gave us a lot of patches), just like NFS Hot Pursuit which I can't play due to dual core(probably) stuttering.

I finally finished the game today! The ending was not one expected.

Hope there is a sequel where Gray get his hands on that Sarrano ;-)

But Anyway, I could not relate the starting with the end. When the game started, and there was an explosion when Gray started to destroy a planet or something, and he got almost killed, he quoted:- "It could all have been over long back". And then I thought the whole story was a flash back. lolz :sad:

Still confused about it. :lol:

Not being able to save controller settings. Keyboard.
Each time I load the game, need to re-bind.

Well, the flashback is when you assassinate novak, and later inside the ship he said: "We've been dead for a long time," meaning they all chose to accept death when they opposed sarrano.

PS: I liked grays and the girl(forgot name) character, ishi was crap and completely turned off the mood, "God is dead?" is this the nineties or what??

asingh said:

If you have the umm version of the game there is a umm fix out, you know Where to look right? Anyway even if you have original version try the umm fix.

God is dead.

When that was said, my screen went black somehow. :grin:

And Ishi looks like Robot 2.0 from the movie Robot :wink:

(one-eyed)

I too had similar problems, not with keyboard settings, though, but my skill shots, news bots destroys and drinks were never saved when I restarted the game.

Trishka is her name.

@soumo

plzz don't put spoilers without covering them or giving some warning :argue:

_

^^ Sorry Digital Dude

J

Grr.... spoilers

playing this and now on part where that

Sarrano armed the bio bomb to kill ishi and his friend and dramatically trishka showed up to rescue these two

Completed this game - My verdict is - it's nothing more than a a co op serious sam though the leash power feature and skillpoints and limited weapon weapon customization ( power ups ) is somewhat unique anyway and I liked those ;-)

is this game worth a try?
story?

Very short single player campaign with basic story, fun shooter with new gameplay type.

Piyush said:

Wen u r in different kind of mood like playing heavy shooter Then its the right time for playing ! NO ADVENTURE - ONLY ACTION

Piyush said:

the story not so good - but if you want to kick a lot of asses and pump a hell lot shells into enemy with some eye candy actions then this game is for you - it improved my shooting skill in CS ;-)

hmmm...will be on the list after dead space 2....thanks

Just completed the game now. Goddamn what the hell was ending. It was mysterious, and awful at best.

I hope they bring Bulletstorm 2 so that I can atleast see the end of the story and Fate of Ishi.

Bulletstorm DLC hits PC
