I think the problem is how the game play is being centered around you making the "coolest" kills, while in most players minds, they are just trying to survive and get through the level. With death still being an option, I found myself just gunning people down to save my life instead of trying to get a fancy kill.

Hmmm, I kind of saw it the other way around, meaning it put pressure on getting the coolest kills because one could die so it made pulling the coolest kill off that much more satisfying. I also found that one can take a whole, whole lot of damage. I purposely saw how much damage I could take, and I never died once in my 3 play troughs of the demo. I admit I am biased though as I do like the whole premise and execution a whole lot. Just something about it I think is just really damn cool. I also really enjoyed Painkiller, so I have been looking forward to this game ever since it was announced, and was hoping People Can Fly have great success with it, as I feel they deserve it based on Painkiller. Seems I am in the minority though, as the general consensus here seems to be not to many people like it, and think the game itself is kind of boring or poorly.

One thing it did take a whole lot of getting used to was not being able to jump at all. I think it could have added a whole other element to getting cool kills, like for example jumping headshot, or making kicks that much more powerful, etc.

Well, I already have the PC version paid for in full, and will be renting the 360 version since I have a lot of friends on my 360 friends list who I know for sure will not touch the PC version, and this does without a doubt seem like a game that will be a whole lot of fun playing with other people.

It's a shame, because I love painkiller. But this... it wasn't about linking weapons and kills, but just linking your whip and then shooting at someone. There didn't seem to really be any "skill" involved with getting the kills, unlike painkiller which had you shooting like a grenade in the air only to then hit it with your xbow and stick it to a guy... bulletstorm just has you go, use whip to pull or throw up, then press fire on your gun, or press fire on your gun and then whip them. Maybe the demo just sucks and the real game is good... but it was just so lackluster.

This game appears to be marmite.

Those that hate it seem to have forgotten what fun is.

You make absolutely no sense. Because someone disagrees with you because they think it's not fun, it means they're incapable of having fun? Please. It's just mundane gameplay to me. I had very little fun with it, as it simply wasn't entertaining. Maybe it will grow on me, but I doubt it.

Maybe you just need to find more creative ways to kill.

Shoot a guy in the groin... then kick him in the face... or turn a guy into a floating minefield. or kick a guy into some electrical wires. once or twice.

Wow EA is really screwing over the PC gamers with this game. First they don?t release a demo on the PC, now it seems that in order to play this game, gamers must have a constant internet connection. This means that even if you lose the connection for a few seconds, you?ll be kicked out of the game.

This news was discovered in EA?s product disclosure. After all of the news you?ve heard about the PC version, anybody out there still interested in picking the game up?

I actually enjoyed the demo quite a bit. Personally, the Echoes mode reminded me of what The Club tried to pull off a few years ago, but over here it's executed much more effectively. I can see myself rushing through the Campaign mode as fast as possible just to unlock the Echoes maps, and then I imagine those will keep me busy for a good while.

Coming from somebody who's a big fan of these types of games (shooters with combo systems and asymmetric competitive aspects, i.e. RE's Mercenaries mode or The Club), the demo was right up my alley. I can definitely see why somebody wouldn't enjoy it, but personally, I'm thinking this will be a day one purchase for me. Don't think I'll bother with the Epic Edition though.

The Epic edition is the same price as the standard and it has like bonus stuff aswell as access to the Gears 3 beta.

    • hands down the worst version of Windows to date and sadly I think it's only downhill from here
    • I've never known a release to have so much pressure than this one. There is so much riding on the whole games industry because of everything that's changed in the past five years. That if this is a complete flop then I think the whole games industry is done unless something radically changes.
    • Windows 11 is now five years old by Taras Buria Windows 11 is now half a decade old. Five years ago, on June 24, 2021, Microsoft announced its latest operating system, designed to "bring you closer to what you love." Today, Windows 11 celebrates its fifth birthday. The launch of Windows 11 was interesting. Rumors about Microsoft introducing a Windows 10 successor popped up weeks before the public announcement, and a few days later, an entire preview build leaked online, allowing everyone to take a peek at what Microsoft was preparing. A few weeks later, Microsoft confirmed that Windows 11 was a thing and officially unveiled its next-gen operating system. Early versions of Windows 11 promised quite a lot. A redesigned, more modern user interface, a brand new Start menu and taskbar, improvements to virtual desktops and window snapping, Android app support, Teams integrated into the taskbar, Windows Widgets, a new version of the Microsoft Store, improved security, and more. Some of those features were welcomed, while others were received with heavy criticism. Besides missing taskbar and Start menu features, many disliked the steep hardware requirements, which kicked out PCs that were back then still perfectly fine. TPM and Secure Boot became mandatory, causing a spike in sales of dedicated TPM chips for motherboards. Double-layered context menus were disliked as well, and it is something that Microsoft still has to fix. Additionally, with time, some of Windows 11's exclusive features were simply killed. Microsoft removed the Teams integration and discontinued Android app support. During the early days of Windows 11, Microsoft was quite unwilling to address things that users criticized most. After four years on the market, management changes, and heated competition from the Mac camp, Microsoft finally decided to give in and take its operating system back to the drawing board to fix everything users had been complaining about for years. Microsoft is now redesigning the Start menu, adding missing taskbar features, improving Windows Update, fixing Windows 11's context menu, and more. Some believe all that warrants a new Windows 12 release, but for now, it appears that Windows 11 will stick around for a while. With Microsoft now listening to its core audience and acting upon received feedback, fans can finally expect a much better version of Windows 11 than what was available five years ago. Here is to five more years, Windows 11!
