That's the problem. It just thinks it's not taking itself seriously.

So what you're saying is that suddenly the game started taking itself seriously behind the backs of the developers?

I think he means they seem to have put a lot of thought into seeming cheesy and ridiculous. The charm of all those bad old action movies was a certain naive sincerity.

That's exactly it. It's all LOOK HOW FUCKING BAD OUR DIALOGUE IS LOL TEN SHITLOADS WE'RE SO WITTY 'CUZ WE'RE WRITING IT THIS WAY ON PURPOUSE OLOLOL
Yet it doesn't work in the face of the superserious GRIMMDARK setting.

Bulletstorm is just about as grimmdark as borderlands.

deth, I'm sorry to have to be the one to tell you, but it really is 'purpose' and 'major' and not purpouse and majour.

As a longtime fan of both Serious Sam and Painkiller, I have no problem with big dumb (well-made) FPSs. But the one-liners in Bulletstorm are just painfully, cringe-inducingly awful.

Speaking of which, is there anywhere I can (legally) get Gears for PC cheaply? Not that I'm exactly against "piracy," just that a hassle-free copy would be nicer.
GfWL Marketplace.

P.S. Yes, they've completely ripped off the Steam store's UI.

I can appreciate the one-liners because of the expletives. Nowodays it's easier to put a close-up of someone's exploding brain in a videogame than the word "fuck"
