Indescribable! Gold Standard for Action-Horror? 100% accurate!

I forgot just how incredible this game/series was and will prove itself to be!

I'm sure a good number of people are looking forward to Bulletstorm. It seems to get mentioned a decent number of times in people's lists of games they're interested in on Gamespot.

I was interested in Bulletstorm last year, upon first seeing gameplay movies. I posted a link in the news section, before it started to get hot in the forums and websites, before I owned a 360, before I was even actively playing shooters again. It looked like a new twist on the FPS and I am all for anything new and unique in this slowly stangnating business.

Having played the demo, I have to say, I don't know how I feel about it yet. I am totally and completely sure there are people who are going to rave and rave and rave about it. I might be one of them. I hope Archie is one of them. The relentless abusing of your enemies in countless unique ways is something really, really fresh to the genre.

Being who I am, the testosteroney dialouge and humor is a bit lost on me. It could get to be over the top and obnoxious. Dick-Tits? Please. I didn't like the Jerky Boys, I don't appreciate an over-abundence of it here. The demo is (as far as I can tell) you running through the ruins of a building, taking out enemies with "Skill Kills" wracking up high-scores on a leaderboard. If this is what the focus of the game is going to be, I don't know how long that will hold my interest. At the END of the demo, you see bits of story-line and some of the BIGGEST bosses I have ever witnessed in a game yet. As long as the game has a fully fleshed-out single-player mode and campaign IN ADDITION to bragging rites on a score-board, THEN it could potentially be something seriously good.

This game was tailor made for the (360) Gears of War crowd, without being GoW all over again, so much so, it's gonna come with a demo OF GoW3. I assume the version to get will be the 360 version.

If I didn't play this 5 minutes after playing the ungodly EXCELLENT Dead Space 2, I may have been A LOT more excited by what I played. As it stands right now, it remains in the "Most Likely to be Purchased Next Month" Queue, but hasn't become a "Must Buy" yet.

I'm VERY interested in hearing other's opinions of it after THEY play the demo!

It's not a patch for Dead Space 2. It's the Bonus Content: Dead Space Extraction. I didn't HAVE TO click on it, immediately upon booting up the game; I saw the Icon on the Dashboard and thought I was just going to be installing it from the disc. Turns out, it's just a "Start Downloading" link, and once it's started, you have to keep the system on for the duration of the 3544 meg, entire download.

I know I shouldn't be complaining about a free game, but waiting a half an hour (or more?) to start playing a game I was super excited about made me very angry and made the wait feel intolerable.

What --WAS-- unacceptable though: Once the actual game started, it got hung up for another 5 or 6 minutes attempting to connect to EA's Servers to Enable the Play Pass. It THEN tries to connect each and every time you start the game... I don't know about the rest of you, but I have been getting certain PSN Errors when it tries to connect me lately, especially on Tuesdays, where it logs me on and off and on and off... If I have to sit through the "Connecting to Servers" screen every time I try and start the game, I. AM. GOING. TO. BE. PISSED!

Don't worry, Mass Effect 2 was well worth it too.

I will wait patiently until you get Dead Space 2 to hear your orgasmic moans about it.

Words cannot describe it.

From the very SECOND you start the game, you KNOW you're in for something GREAT!

It will be WELL worth waiting for!

I have been a life-long, serious gamer. I fucking HATE bugs!

How the HELL would he know what a "serious gamer" would expect?!

= good bugs.

= bad bugs.

Oh Pachter. Hear that Nintendo, I expect bugs, give them to me!

Dead Space Extraction.  As you may recall last year I played it, then Dead Space, back-to-back.  DSE is as good as the HD console original, they dovetail together seamlessly.

Not sure how I'd like it using a regular controller though...

I think Ubi's expectations were reasonable, but missing by 300,000 is hardly a failure of analysis -- it's damn close.  Maybe if they did a better job marketing it so that people didn;t think it was some weird multiplayer spin-off it would have sold even more than AC2.

Hickey said he expects the publisher to report "flat" sales of November's Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, with shipments of 7.7 million units -- still very strong, but down from a reported 8 million units from 2009's Assassin's Creed II.


It was an "exceedingly strong" casual game lineup that Hickey expects drove growth during fiscal Q3, ended December 31. October's Just Dance 2 for Wii has sold through over 5 million units and November's Michael Jackson: The Experience has sold through over 2 million units.

Inafune leaving helped moral, of course, how would you like it if you boss insulted you every single day you worked there.
