Ok, so I gave the Bulletstorm demo a try. I saw how Cliffy B has been pumping it and have held out hope that Bulletstorm would be special. Well, the demo was ok. I found the use of the whip pretty cool, but the entire leave the in suspended animation to do Mortal Kombat style fatalities seems forced. I see what they are trying to do, but just doesn't resonate with me. Mind you, I do like the banter and voice overs and the attempt at humor in the game. But the marketing seems seriously forced. Well, I do give a game a shot, if the writing is good. But the play just felt a bit trying too hard to me.
This being said, I did see the video for the shot at Call of Duty Epic put out, called "Duty Calls". What I see here, is a demo for a game I want to play. I want to have someone do an over the top takedown parody of Call of Duty, Halo, and other modern FPS titles. I want it go on multiple levels and be absurd. I want Matt Hazzard without the stiff controls. So, in light of this, Duty Calls interests me more than Bulletstorm personally.
Anyone else here feel similar? Keep in mind, I also enjoyed the original Bad Company more than the sequel, just because of the throw away lines in it. I liked the characters to.
