I had the shotgun and pistol equipped at the time...didn't love it too much :v:. Maybe on my second play through.

[BigHeaded B]

i had the flail and cannonball gun
flail, yeah it was useful but the cannonball gun wasn't very useful

Is it me, or does PMC ammo automatically regenerate during that battle?

[Nathax]

damn this is much better on pc than the ps3. that ps3 demo really did not do a good job of demoing

[ZombieDawgs]

Fucking staggered launches :argh:

Yeah I tried the demo on the 360 and couldn't do most of the kill shots because I'm not accurate with the analog sticks. I made a good choice getting it for PC and now I'm doing awesome skillshots left and right. Also, the Unreal Engine looks so much sharper and crisp on the PC.

What guns do you guys use besides the PMC? I use the Boneduster and Flail-gun. I loved sliding and blowing enemies in half with the Boneduster.

[QUOTE=G71tc4;28225475]This game is beautiful. Let me tell you why.

I love this game. I've only played a few hours, but I love this game. Over the last few years, I've fallen into the rut of the Call of Duties, the Grand Theft Autos, Crysis and ArmA II photo realistic graphics, and I had forgotten what it really meant to LOVE games. Sure, I'd get excited when I got a nice killstreak or outran some enemies, but I never felt that rush like I did when I first started gaming. They all pretty much got the same reactions from me: the occasional "That's nice." and mostly normal playing. By this point, I had forgotten that this wasn't "fun."

Then, I played Bulletstorm.

Somewhere in the middle of the hilarious one-liners and zipping around blowing things up, it hit me: I was having legitimate fun. I wasn't plowing through the story just to get the next bit of dialogue or to the next level. I died on purpose a few times just to go through parts a second time, whether it was because I wanted a higher score, or just because I had so much damn fun. This brought me back to the days of Crash Bandicoot and Tony Hawk games. I was finally playing a game and having a great time. That's a sensation I haven't felt in years. Thank you People Can Fly and Epic. You gave me my fun back.[/QUOTE]

This pretty much sums up what I think about the game. It's brilliant, not serious, extremely fun, yet brilliantly made.

I've had so many problems with this game its unreal (no pun intended)

quick specs: Win 7, Q6600, 4 gig ram, GTX 460

pasted from my post on the epic forums

first of all, you can tell something is wrong when the main menu looks like this

[url]http://img21.imageshack.us/i/bulletcom.jpg/[/url]

mine looks like the top picture, it SHOULD look like the bottom picture.

like others I also have;
* Black lines on the floor moving with the character
* Blocky shadows (sometimes just spazzy shadows)
* Strange 16 bit colour depth effect on textures
* Backgrounds turn black except for characters

Now the only thing that seems to fix this is opening the ini and changing "bUseMaxQualityMode=False" to "bUseMaxQualityMode=True"
this causes unplayable performance though and also cannot be changed after the Title Update as the update encrypts the ini files.

This is the goddam unreal engine, its unbelieveable how you can **** this up Epic.
fix this shoddy consolised port please.

Update drivers.

R.i.p pj tallylicker! You will be missed

[QUOTE=Sharp_Shooter;28225409]Is there a way to get rid of the black bars? I hated them in Fear 2 and now they're in this game, though not as big.[/QUOTE]

If you're playing on 360 go to systems settings, then to display settings and change it to widescreen.

[robersdee]

[QUOTE=Flubadoo;28232444]Update drivers.[/QUOTE]

have done, infact ive updated, rolled back installed modded and beta drivers, nothing works.

[MisterMooth]

Just finished it. Best FPS I've played in a long time.

[Funny Hats]

[QUOTE=Doomish;28227418]To be honest, I don't really like it. I WANT to like it, but the beginning is literally 'press LMB to shoot this guy, or the game will not go back to regular speed", or "press R to do this unspecified thing with a vague command, there's no telling what will happen just press it".[/QUOTE]

Is it wrong that I read this as "I don't like this game because I assume the whole thing will be like the tutorial"?

[Rex McCoolguy]

I realy hate my pc, I feel like throwing it out of a 10 story building for not beeing able to run it :saddowns:

- This game is incredibly dumbed-down on PC, with regards to controls.

- Letterbox mode for my resolution (1280x1024) - a remnant of a bad console-to-PC port.

- The last sections of the game just felt really stale and I just wanted to get it over with.

- Annoying characters who talk too much, and the story just feels tacked on every time there's a cutscene break in between fucking shit up, of which there are plenty.

- Corridor shooter.

+ Fucking shit up is fun.

I have the exact same problem, blocky shadows, weird lines, 16 bit colors, it's weird. Any fixes?

Forced letterboxing on "fullscreen" 1280x1024.

[Generic.Monk]

[Waffen]

good news for is in the uk

[Wheeze201]

Seriously I'm dying for a way to cheat. I don't want to do EVERYTHING all over again.

[boxxy brown]

Is it just me or is the shading really glitched? In the bottom of my screen, there's lines of shadows, and all the shadows look like they're in 16 bit color.
