Bulletstorm is a good and funny game

its pretty good. bought the remaster and it still holds up. i loving hate gearbox for publishing it though. they are loving poo poo eaters to the core and they know people hate them so they basicaly said they only way we could get a sequel from people can fly is if we bought the remaster or some poo poo. then they pasted duke nukem skin on and called it a day.

My nostalgia for old half-life expansions buts up against lovely reality every time I see the name Gearbox. Everything turns to poo poo eventually I guess. (not far cry, gonna kill whitie)[Im also whitie]{still gonna kill whitie}

The protagonist is going to be an Idahoan from a rival militia/cult.

I enjoy playing shoot man video games because they're mechanically engaging, not because they're insanely gory and let me chop up people's bodies into tiny chunks. The FPS I have the most play time in doesn't even have blood spray.

I enjoyed the hippy mode of Serious Sam. You get enormous sprays of flowers instead of blood.

It's just like movies, the rating should fit the tone and purpose of the game, but studios often try to jam things to fit a certain mold and demographic. Why everyone was scared that Fox would only learn "R rated violent movies are gold" from Deadpool and not "An R rated character should get an R rated movie." Also why people were surprised when Logan turned out to be a legitimately good movie and not just a dumb Wolverine flick with STAB STAB STAB.

Ultra violence is great in a movie or game that should be ultra violent (Doom, Rambo, Killing Floor, Dredd, etc.) but a game with a lighter tone doesn't need the same level of violence. Honestly this is a bigger problem with film than games though, with violent/dark material getting neutered into PG13 and other stuff being pushed into an R with terrible CGI blood and an inserted gently caress or two.

One of the more interesting examples are actually two of the most notoriously violent games, Grand Theft Auto and Saint's Row. Both are notoriously bloody, violent and R rated yet there's no gibs and the blood wouldn't even be PG, because there is a sense of hyper-realism about it all, a hint of a tongue being held in the cheek when you run over a beach full of people from stopping it getting too dark. Which was a wise use of restraint.

ED: Oh yeah, one more interesting example. The original (they changed it) Left 4 Dead 2 in Australia vs the PC one. It simply is not remotely as satisfying when you can't blow the zombies into showers of limbs. It doesn't fit the tone to censor it.

Since the announcement and setting of this looked interesting I've tried the most recent games in the series to see if I like the gameplay.

Is it wrong if I'm liking Far Cry Primal more than Far Cry 4? Something about being more limited regarding weapons and actually caring about the animals as I explore make it more exciting than Far Cry 4 overpowered weapons

I think any divergence from their usual formula was going to sell well, 3 and 4 were carbon copies of the same game to me and with all the games that have been copying far cry, they definitely needed to try something new.

Going back to 3 after 4 is rough. You dont get stuff Id consider basic like the wingsuit til way WAY late in the game.

4 Gives you all the toys up front and is very good for that. Its a continuation of 3 rather then a copy. with a minicopter.
