This game looks like Borderlands minus the cartoony look plus some crack.

And now if you get the Epic Edition, you get access to the Gears 3 beta. (http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/114/1140795p1.html)

It comes out the same day as Killzone 3, so good luck getting some play time, Bulletstorm. :D

Used my deal I got with Living Social and applied it to the pre-order of this. So I'll get in the Gears 3 beta, and release date delivery was only $0.99 for it.

I've had it preordered for awhile as well, partially for the game and partially for the Gears 3 beta. The game itself will be fun, and Gears 3 is looking like perhaps this generation's best multiplayer shooter experience, so it should be the complete package.

As long as there aren't a million glitches for 10-year olds to find.

I don't think there will be. They said they could've released it in March if they wanted to, but Microsoft wanted to wait, so this should be one hell of a polished beta. Not to mention if you get to top rank in the beta, it unlocks something for the final game.

Played the demo and it was basically what I expected. A kickass blast. The only mode in the demo is called Echoes which is basically a race through a map to score the most points and I think rack up a quick time too. This is a separate mode from online and campaign, and looks to be a good one to try to compare against your buddies with as you try to perfect your skill shots. I think this game is definitely going to be worth a buy for me as I figure Cliffy is going to put a pretty decent campaign into this.

Played the demo... it was alright but not my cup of tea. I'm not a leaderboard whore so replaying the same level over & over to improve my score doesn't really interest me so the replayability is small.

Well that's just one game mode, there is a campaign and online modes too. It's kinda like the addition to Horde mode in Gears 2. Something in between online and off.

Yeah, I realize that, but unless the campaign has a great story, I just don't see the $60 value in it, especially since the online mode is only co-op (which I can understand considering the gameplay style). I"ll eventually play it, but either when I decide to rent it or it drops way down.

I played it and was what I expected. I don't care if it sucked, it was a day one purchase because of the Gears 3 beta. But I thoroughly enjoyed it as I knew I would, so I'm definitely eagerly anticipating it.
On another note, I can only imagine how bad the control scheme is going to work

Downloaded the demo lastnight. Originally I had no interest in getting the game but I may pick it up after playing.

Bulletstorm launched today and right off the bat, the first piece of downloadable content has been revealed. Launching this spring, the Gun Sonata pack will add three new cooperative Anarchy mode maps - Sewers of Stygia, Hotel Elysium, and Villa. Also included are two new singple player Echoes maps (Crash Sight and Guns of Stygia) along with two leash mods dubbed Flamingo and Pulp.

Look for the DLC to hit your wallet for $9.99 or 800 MP when it when it hits the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

Holy dicktits this game is fun. They suggest not to go into Echoes mode until you finish the campaign. So I'm guessing the online components are the money of this game, and that's why the campaign is short.

I got up to level 26 in Anarchy in one night. Awesome game, but I severely doubt this game is going to last long in my 360. There's no competitive multiplayer, and I can guarantee you I'm going to to start to get bored of it. Regardless, it only has to last me 3 weeks til Homefront and then give me access to Gears 3 and I'll be happy - the fact that it's a great game is just an added bonus. :D

Why'd you get it for PS3? lol. I might end up getting it for PS3, too, if only to whore the easy platinum trophy.

I'm thinking about getting it for 360 as well, but yeah I got it for PS3 for the trophies which don't seem all that hard.

Getting all of the skillshots will be tough. Going through the game once, I missed 9 of the robots, and over half of the glowing bugs.

:3star: everything in Echoes could be tough too, it took me a little while to :3star: the first one, but it was my first go at it last night.

The skillshots are easy, and so is Echoes once you get the hang of the weapons. I blistered through all the achievements except 4 in 3 days, so it's not tough at all. The only ones I needed before my 360 died were reach level 65 in Anarchy(was 41), do all environmental skillshots in Anarchy(easy as hell), do 200 team challenges in Anarchy(had 181 so another 2 games at most would've had it), and score 50,000 as a team in Anarchy, which probably is going to be a bitch.

Easy platinum aside from possibly the 50k, which I'm not even sure because I never got the chance to try.
