I think there might have been a girlfriend involved, like she broke up with him by locking him in that house? The guy was visiting New Orleans or something like that.

Or maybe I am confusing it with the plot to RE7 now

Oh yeah, I finally beat RE7, I ended up having a hilarious ammount of ammo at the end because I had heard "poo poo gets crazy" and tried to save it. Turns out that no, on Normal you can and should just blast everything because you get so much ammo. One boss fight even has a room right before it with a conspicuously large shelf of Grenade Launcher Ammo.

Anyway, the ending. Hahaha. Like I figured the Grandma would somehow end up being the final boss, but not... quite in that way

Bulletstorm kinda pwns and it deserves better than this.

Bulletstorm was a good idea implemented Sorta OK that could have pwned if it was polished more. A few of the weapons had really well designed skillshots (the grenade launcher is my goto for this) so why the HELL did they totally poo poo the bed with others. I really hate how half the pistol skillshots are entirely luck based depending on which way the wacky rocket sends people.

I thought I was going to hate Bulletstorm but it was probably the best FPS of 2011. Im pretty sure thats damning with faint praise both Bulletstorm and every other piece of crap that came out alongside of it.

It's not as good nowadays with the reboots of Doom, Shadow Warrior, and Wolfenstein being out, but back then it was a breath of fresh air amongst all the scripted AAA MFPS'es set in the Middle East.

That initial price ask is dumb but I will buy and enjoy Bulletstorm on PS4 when it's on sale for $20 or less, which it will most certainly hit by or before holiday 2017.

It's so bizarre to hear Duke having an actual dialog with another character. His voice works for cheesy action hero one-liners but not much else.

It's like hearing Mario speak for extended periods of time in full sentences. The walls between the surreal and the mundane begin to break down.

Yeah, I completely get what you mean. I think it's a valid criticism even if I really enjoy the games. It's just a bit "... was that really necessary?"


Yes and no. You have more alchemy options instead of needing to spreadsheet them and so creating powerful equipment is easier. Ayesha classic also doesn't have as many insane superbosses to contend with. Ayesha + and the sequels are easier to finish but have significantly harder optional challenges instead. Sophie is kinda lacking in the latter which is a problem for it.

Yeah I tried the cow DLC and saw the boss at the end and decided to heck with that.

Sophie's story also feels lacking. I ended up losing interest before finishing up the game. Ayesha had a better narrative in that your protagonist actually has a goal and serious consequences if she fails.

Agreed, also the cliffhanger ending. Just let people kill the villain and if you need a sequel then there's always space for a new, more threatening challenge to be introduced, jeez.

I've been playing Killer is Dead becausr I don't want to start anything make until Nier comes out and how is this game this bad? This might literally be one of the worst hack n slash games I've ever played. It's just wall to wall bad design choices. Like, I just quit out of the game after losing a few times in a turret side mission where is one guy gets through, you have to stay the whole, slow rear end thing over. I don't like leaving games unfinished but I don't think I can take this one too much longer.

Grenade Gag 25 Wrap a flail around the head of and enemy and explode it
Gang Bang 25 Kill two or more enemies with a single flail explosion
Minefield 25 Kill an enemy by exploding a flail attached to the surface
Sadist 50 Wrap a flail around an enemy and kill him before it explodes
Meat Slicer 50 Slice an enemy in half while wrapping the flail around an object
Head Slicer 100 Decapitate an enemy after wrapping the flail around an object
Homie Missile 100 Kick a flail-wrapped enemy to kill another enemy
Smart Mine 100 Use a flail-wrapped enemy to kill an airborne enemy
Chain Reaction 50 CHARGED: Slice two or more enemies in half using a flail Charge Shot
French Revolution 100 CHARGED: Decapitate two or more enemies with a flail Charge Shot

Ok, flail gun. Shoots out two grenades chained together. Theres multiple ways to hit people with this weapon in unique ways and they all make up the top half. Then you have "Homie Missile" and "Smart Mine" both of which can utilize the kick and the whip, so you tie in all of the games side systems into the skillshot mechanic for this weapon as well. The remainder can be activated pretty painlessly using the super. Very good!


One Hit Wonder 25 Kill an enemy with one shot from the Screamer.
Surgeon 25 Kill an enemy with the Screamer by shooting only one single limb repeatedly.
Fast Draw 50 Kill an enemy the moment you have them in your sights with the Screamer.
Snapshot 50 Kill an airborne enemy the moment you have them in your sights with the Screamer.
Gunslinger 100 Score two or more Fast Draws or Snapshots in a row with the Screamer.
Enlightenment 50 CHARGED: Shoot an enemy in the head with a charged Screamer and have it detonate.
Misfire 50 CHARGED: Shoot an enemy with a charged Screamer and have them die from something else before it explodes.
Fireball 50 CHARGED: Shoot an enemy with a flare so that it explodes and kills another enemy.
Fireworks 50 CHARGED: Shoot an enemy with a charged Screamer shot, and have them explode 20 meters or higher in the air. (Best used on thumped enemies)
Firefighter 100 CHARGED: Ignite three or more enemies and kill them while they are burning.

Ok, pistol. I hate Fast Draw and Snapshot because the tooltip should really say how long you have to activate the skill. Is it a quarter of a second? Is it more? Less? Who fuckin knows. Since Gunslinger builds off of a mechanic thats already ambiguous its also bullshit. Then you have fully half of the skillshots which are all dependent on the special attack, which comes out in a random pattern and flies around randomly, to do specific things. Awesome fuckin weapon, Epic. Yall really thought long and hard about this piece of garbage didnt you?! Thanks for undoing all my good will from the well made flail gun!!!

Paul's really fun to play as, he can add freeform jabs into his combos to extend them, it feels pretty different from what the others can do.

I thought the Duke thing was gonna be a standalone gag mission, but holy crap they recorded the entire campaign with him. What a bizarre thing to do.

watching the video of it made me cringe. it looks/sounds like a lovely mod, swap MC with duke and the MC lines are either changed slightly or just verbatim but with john st jon saying it. the whole remaster feels like a mokeys paw wish. sure you get a cool cult classic game but gearbox is publishing and getting their lovely finger prints all over it. i honestly cant wait for the day they finally go under. sad thing is i will probably buy it because i loved the first one and i love people can fly as devs.

anyway, glad to see shadow of mordor has a sequel and it sounds like they are doubling down on the poo poo that made 1 great.
