Bulletstorm: Epic edition includes gears of war 3 beta

So Anarchy the Multiplayer mode is basically a team of 4 against a wave of enemies and you have to get a curtain amount of points to continue to the next wave. Its like Horde in Gears 2 but instead of just killing everyone you have to reach a curtain amount of points to advance using Skill points. Its fun for a while I got up to wave 20 with friends. But gets little boring after a while.

No competitive multiplayer? In a sea of FPS that are trying to chip away at COD's market that's surprising.

Maybe they just figured it's pointless to tack on yet another multiplayer that's just like all the others and that this might be more interesting (although it doesn't actually sound all that fun to me). Anyway, my copy showed up today, so I'll hopefully get to play a bit this weekend. Hopefully... I'm gonna be pretty busy with reviews for Dragon Quest VI and Gemini Rue, so I guess we'll see.

I wouldn't get too excited over the multiplayer. You can only get through half of the waves if your team is competent enough to do the team skillshots.

[Murgatroyd7]

That's alright with me, I probably won't bother with multiplayer more than once or twice. I rarely do.

If that's the case, then I recommend Very Hard difficulty. It's not...very...hard at all.

[Murgatroyd7]

I also don't really care if it's hard or not. I mostly just want to kick guys in the nuts. Ha ha.

I finished the game yesterday on very hard. Great overall campaign really enjoyed it might play it again on easy for no reason lol. Now I just have to clean up some skill shots and some missable kill everyone while escaping achievements. THEN GEARS BETA IN APRIL!!!!!!!!!!!!! Remember guys if your going to play in the beta let me know don't mind helping out

[ItsEvan]

You can't really kick guys in the nuts...but you can shoot them in the nuts in at least two different ways.

[StatiK TactiK]

LMAO what an age of gaming we've come to where you can shoot guys in the nuts in various ways if you so please.

[Murgatroyd7]

I'll definitely be in on the beta, Yank. I will probably suck, but I'll be playing anyway.

Ha, I know, I was just being facetious. Know that I think about it, though, I'm actually surprised that you can't actually kick 'em there.

[ItsEvan]

The more that I think about Bulletstorm...the more it seems...mediocre.
I remember some levels where it was basically an assembly line of death, leash a guy to you, kick him into the rebar, he hits it and leaks out rasberry juice, repeat until no more people left.

The game really shines in Echoes mode, it forces you to actually invest some skill into skillshots, but it's a shame that the AI can be totally random at times and screw up certain skillshots, like X-rays for example (Hitting multiple enemies in a straight line in one shot).
