I thought the language in Bulletstorm was hilarious because it was so obviously intentionally over the top.
And Deus Ex 3 is nothing like the original DeuSex that i played years ago. It is a lot closer to the Invisible War experience, and yet gamers are praising it like the Second Coming. DE3 has arguably worse AI than the first and there are NO consequences for your actions plus a weak-ass compromise ending. That *failure* is overlooked because of the "fun" people are telling themselves they are having.
Serious Sam II *sucked* compared to First and Second Encounter; it took itself seriously (Sam) and attempted to parody itself and the humor fell flat even though the mechanics stayed much the same. This upcoming BFE is the 4th installment in the series.

DNF is fun. Stupid Mindless Fun not much different than Serious Sam Series (and Serious Sam II *sucked* compared to First and Second Encounter). It just seems both Bulletstorm and DNF got a bad rap from suddenly holier than thou reviewers who got their panties in a bunch, or the hypocritical Faux network.
Neither game takes itself seriously and neither should the gamers who play these games.
i liked Bulletstorm and i also got to play it in 5760x1080 3D Surround. Very much like Painkiller series which i also liked, moved into a futuristic SciFi setting instead of Hell.
It's hook (pun intended) was the leash and the creative way to dispatch enemies (which look spectacular in 3D at the splatter hits your visor). But it's story was stupid beyond belief. And the two main guys have definite sexual issues to resolve.
DNF had a stupid story also but it didn't try to take itself seriously with subject out of its depth - no nonsense about "revenge" and "redemption". It was all about killing. The BAD thing was that it is a new game in a franchise but everyone compares it to the first game which was a CLASSIC.
The only thing to compare Bulletstorm to is Painkiller - and Painkiller was a much better game. Much more depth and with undocumented weapon combos. Bulletstorm is incredibly dumbed down for juveniles and the beer swilling console player who is impressed with over the top violence, cursing and boobs.
It sure doesn't look like you get it at all.

i didn't bring it up. i only mentioned the Juvenile humor was similar in both games and i was giving my experiences about BULLETSTORM and playing it in S3D over 3 screens when someone else with an axe to grind mentioned DNF as a crap game.
That's what i was planning to do with my HD 6990. Except i have a single shot 16ga Mossberg .. and it makes a big bang and a big mess

i really don't care to defend DNF. It has the same appeal to me as Bulletstorm .. limited but good enough for a shooter. Nothing groundbreaking in either game and the story was about the same quality (sucks) for both games.
Totally agreed !
- once they are in the air, you can kill their friends also and be extra-ordinarily creative to gain the achievements. That is the creativity of the People Can Fly devs; Painkiller was an extra-ordinarily deep game for a simple shooter and it was the first game to really showcase Havoc Physics really well.
i have been playing PC games since Atari 800XL (1982)
You could say that i have been young for a (really) long time.
Atari 5200 was my last console; afterward i got a Genesis and kept it for a week or so before returning it for my first PC (Atari 800XL). And i never looked back at consoles.I had the rare pleasure of a friend bringing over a new old stock atari 5200 with two working original controllers a few months ago.
We played ms pacman for the longest time that day and we didn't put any beer in the oversized compartment either
