Full Version: MOAR SHOOTY N STOMPY!

OK, so i actually croaked and bought both of those . .

Bulletstorm is so hillariously over the top and cliché that i can mostly overlook it being a clean console port. Seriously, it's so console that there isn't even a JUMP in the game . .
really . . there is no jumping. you can NOT jump. aside from certain mostly scripted situations. see those last two words there? yeah? scripted situations? yep. basically half to 3 fourths of the game.
at least, this is how it seems to me after about 2 hours of playing . . it's completely linear.


Crysis2 on the other hand . . is a pretty disappointing console port . . no DX11, the reflections on the water are NOT real reflections but an alibi texture . .
it has been simplified down to basically "press 6 buttons to win the game" . . at least there is a jump in this one . . not as linear though. sneak or fight or try a third solution depending on situations.
but still pretty linear, as it's basically go from a to b and for a twist the plotted route has been barricaded by something outside of your sphere of influence. and thus you have to take ANOTHER route.
but it's still a single route. aside from minor deviations like not entering through the main entrance but some service tunnels into the subway for example.
far-cry, crysis1 and far cry 2 were pretty much free style playing with zomgwtfbbqxbawksishueg levels where you could go wherever you wanted to all the time and explore . . not this one.

The Quad-Barrelled Shotgun is my baby. I remember the one from the Phantasm movies, and wanted to have one ever since.
Stahlseele
which game now?
haven't really played any of them anymore as of yet because of work.
won't be playing Crysis2 untill they fixed the flickering lighting with multi radeon GPU . .

Bulletstorm has the Quad-Barrelled Shotgun. If you don't blow someone in half, they go flying.

So DOOM and Marathon are both ultra-console?
