[Official] Bulletstorm

Yeah, same, finished a few days ago and enjoyed it. The story was absolutely horrible, but the gameplay more than made up for it. I plan on going through and beating it on the hardest mode as well as trying out the other modes.

I agree. Story was horrible. I didn't even know if there was a story. :laugh:

Only on my second run through did I realise there's ammo caches at certain points which completely fill up your ammo and charge :fail:

Hah, it took me a few acts to realize what those did. They don't completely fill it up, though, they just give you a small amount of ammo or charges (for some reason it was always for my right-side equipped weapon, too).

I realized that in that on chapter 6 where you rescue the general with sniping target above.

Awesome game so far. Profanity is a bit over the top and doesn't blend into the game well, saying the f-bomb and other obscenities just for the sake of saying them. So far my favorite thing about the game is the gameplay and ways to kill enemies.

No, not the flashing ones.

You know the level that the demo gave? With the lift you can drop onto the skulls? Well right after you walk through the clock hologram there is an amo cache - it fills everything up to max.

Yeah..language is over the top.. too much d*** and "unnecessary" words

If I'm not mistaken, that was one of the selling points of the game. Should've known that going in. Everything about the game is supposed to be OTT.

QTF!

Part of the appeal of the game is how everything is OTT. Fits it perfectly, IMO. One could turn off the language, though.

:blink:

The flashing ones never filled me up completely.

People buying this game then complaining about the content. Jesus wept.

Do you put your hand into flames and complain when you get burned too?

No one minds the language, I sure don't. But there is too many obscenities being shouted that don't seem to correlate with the game, just for the sake of it. A little less over the top and I'd be happier, I don't mind the gameplay though which is an A+ in my book.

hey Jonathan, way to go with the spoiler there! And he ain't supposed to be Chinese..what's next, you're going to call him Chinaman Joe? You must be channeling General Serrano.

and the language is fine, quite well written and witty for a game like this, some of the lines are quite funny. the whole running gag with ###### is pretty good.

If you want less profanity in a game, may I suggest sim city?

No.

At least in Duke Nukem and in Prey the profanity correlates with what is happening in the game, such as performing certain actions. This is just spouting profanity randomly, sometimes for no reason, just to say it. I think this comic sums up the way I and others feel about the game:

So you're a twelve year old girl? That explains it, true.

Trolls.. :rolleyes:

What does your comment have to do with what I posted?

I said I don't mind the profanity, just that it needs to correlate with what is happening in the game, the profanity just doesn't really fit in. I can't think of many games with such overuse of profanity, any profanities used usually correlate with what is happening. There's no reason to get all bitchy and single me out for pointing out a rather minor issue with the game, it's not like I am saying it's a bad game or that it sucks so no need to go on the defense.

    • Those extra reboots are related to the UEFI Secure Boot certificate update thing.
    • Hands on with the ProtoArc EM25: Affordable ergonomic mouse that focuses on the right things by Taras Buria ProtoArc is known for making all sorts of office products with a big focus on ergonomics and comfort. Its latest product, the EM25, promises a comfortable-to-use, affordable, and customizable mouse. We took one for a spin; here are our impressions. The ProtoArc EM25 is a $49.99 mouse, but right now, during Prime Day 2026, you can get it for just $37.99. Right off the bat, you can see that the EM25 is inspired by Logitech's MX Master lineup and the legendary MX Master 3/3S. Its shape and proportions are very similar, so for a person with large hands (right-handed person, mind you), the EM25 is very comfortable to use. The mouse fills the palm, and the thumb rests on a small extension, giving your wrist a small tilt to reduce strain. The mouse is made of black plastic without any coating, eliminating long-term wear concerns. However, I can see the main buttons and other areas you touch the most getting polished over time. Despite its size and bulk, the mouse is not too heavy. It weighs about 100 grams, which is significantly less than the MX Master 3S and its successor. It is no lightweight gaming mouse by any means, but it is not excessively heavy like the MX Master 4. The EM25 has a built-in storage for its USB dongle. It is a cleverly made magnetic flap that you open by simply pressing on it. Next to the flap, you will find the on/off switch, the 1,000 Hz sensor, and a DPI button (up to 8,000 DPI). I find the DPI button location a bit odd, and I would prefer it somewhere below the main scroll wheel. Still, given that I never change DPI on my mice, I will let it pass. What is more important is that, unlike MX Master 3/3S/4, the device switch button is located below the left-click button, which allows you to switch devices without lifting and flipping the mouse. For a multi-device setup, this is a perfect solution: the button does not require too much effort to use, it does not get in your way, but it is also easily reachable with your thumb. The main scroll wheel has two modes: ratcheted and free-flow. You can only change between them with a bright orange button (I like this little touch of color), which is sprung and requires some effort to press. The wheel is dead-silent in free-flow mode, but ratched is quite loud and stiff, perhaps even too much to my liking. I can hardly call it deal-breaking, but it will certainly take some time to get used to. The side scroll wheel, it is notched, silent, and pleasant to use. Next to it, you can find a piece of glossed plastic with connection indicators: Dongle, Bluetooth 1, Bluetooth 2, and the low battery indicator. By the way, the built-in battery is rechargeable via a USB Type-C cable, which is included. It is sleeved and has an orange velcro strap to keep it tidy. After using the EM25 for a few weeks, I can say that its main buttons are my absolute favorite. They have very pronounced clicks, which feel great with just the right amount of force required to register a press. I would say they feel like something in between regular mouse clicks and silent ones. You can hear and feel the springy switch, but it is not sharp or loud to the point of annoying you. As for back/forward and device switch buttons, they are very clicky and quite noisy. Unfortunately, there are no extra buttons that you can map to specific things like in the MX Master lineup. Besides great primary clicks, another thing I like about the EM25 is its 1,000 Hz sensor. In the world, where Logitech still uses 125 Hz sensors in $100+ mice, seeing a much faster sensor in a mouse that costs three times less is very refreshing. Also, all the settings and customization you make are stored on-device, and you do not need to install any software. Just open the web-based app and change all that you need. Speaking of customization, you can remap what buttons do, adjust the DPI, and the sensor speed. Sadly, gestures are not supported, but you can still map pretty much anything to each button, including shortcuts, media buttons, and more. I also recommend using software like XMouseControl, as it will let you remap the side scroll wheel. At the end of the day, the ProtoArc EM25 is a great mouse. Clearly inspired by the MX Master lineup, it takes the best of it and complements it with a much more wallet-friendly price tag, significantly better sensor, on-device memory, a built-in storage for the dongle, and more (it fixes everything that I complained about the MX Master 4 recently). And for only $37.99 during Prime Day, the EM25 is an easy recommendation. Buy ProtoArc EM25 mouse - $37.99 | 24% off with Prime As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
    • Pretty nice tool, thanks
    • Indeed. But note that this has Wifi7, HDMI 2.1, BlueTooth 5.4, and 5G Ethernet, so even in the additional features list this bundle blows the Steam Machine away. And, with the money saved, one could improve this dramatically.
