I don't know, I guess it depends on the person playing.

I have yet to decide I dislike a game because of bad story. Like Halo 3 is quite a mess story wise but its one of my favorite games this gen...

To me, a bunch of great set pieces in a shooter and good gunplay immediatly erase hours of bad story and dialoge our of my memory.

my favorite element in a game is the story, so if its bad i wont like the game. 

I'm not sure you are giving the story enough credit though... 

Minor spoilers: Grayson (main character) is a drunken, ex-miliatry dude who is framed (along with his team) for mass murder.  Ishii (half-robot guy) was almost killed by a decision Grayson made and is fighting the AI from taking over his personality completely.

The scene you are referring too (in the elevator) is a Ishii expressing his self-control over the AI in a total dead-pan way.  It was not only pretty funny, but actually fairly smartly written.

Now I can acknowledge you not liking the game or the story, that is not only fair, it's reasonable, different strokes for different folks.  Can YOU acknowledge that someone above the age of 4 might actually see beyond the jokes to the meaning underneath?

i never said the story was bad, i just said that i hated the dialogue and it affected the story and my overall experience with the game.

well you could look at it in this way, but we all know that epic made the game so it would look "cool" and that is why it has such dialogue.

theirs nothing wrong when a game doesnt take itself seriously. like in duke the humor adds to the experience. but in bulletstorm, argh i have nothing to say.

Oh I was just giving you a hard time, no big deal. I'm enjoying the hell out of Bulletstorm, I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it as well, but I can dig it.  (Do people still say that?  Damn I'm old).



Bulletstorm sucks IMO.



I trust no one, not even myself.

it seems like a solid game and all...i just dont know how long it would be able to keep my attention with its goal just to kill the enemies in different manners...
