Bulletstorm PC requires persistent Internet connection

It seems Electronic Arts is going to "pull a Ubisoft" while "protecting" People Can Fly's ludicrous shooter from common thieves. The news comes from EA's own product disclosure page, where it states, "PERSISTENT INTERNET CONNECTION AND ACCEPTANCE OF END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT REQUIRED TO PLAY."

How is it gay?

Gay as in happy?
Or gay as in homosexual?
Or do you mean gay as in pathetic and rubbish?

Or maybe you mean gay as in a homosexual who is always very happy, despite the fact that he is pretty rubbish at everything that he applies himself to?

ComboBreaker4834d ago (Edited 4834d ago )

to express how stupid EA's decision is, and having nothing to do with homosexuality.

Having said that, your response is pretty offensive to homosexuals.

"...gay as in a homosexual who is always very happy, despite the fact that he is pretty rubbish at everything that he applies himself to..."

gamingdroid4834d ago

LOL, the response to an offensive comment is another equally as offensive comment in the same vein!

It's potential BS. This article says differently.

I'm sure they'll be surprised when no one buys the game. Of course they'll blame piracy for low sales. With the way EA acts with every other game they publish I'm shocked the PC version of Battlefield 3 is getting its own engine. Battlefield 3 is probably going to cost $200 because it sounds to good to be true.

gamingdroid4834d ago

Yet, it seems nobody still notices EA's evil. So far:

- EA introduced EA Pass on console games
- EA is now also supporting persistent connection for PC gaming

I don't like price increases, but I don't mind it primarily because it doesn't take my freedom away.

Price increases seems reasonable because games have gotten cheaper if you adjust for inflation looking back 20-years ago. Back then a game would cost $80 and that is closer to a $150 today. Then you consider how much more work it took to create this modern game and how much more quality entertainment the game is packed now and it is a no brainer. The game offers a lot more....

One should really start taking a hard look at EA... I'm avoiding all EA games if I can.

Charmers4834d ago

The problem with the price increase gamingdroid is that PC gamers are now paying the same price as console gamers. Yet at least $10 of the console price is the "console royalty" fee. The PC has no royalty fee so why should we be paying the same price as console gamers ?

gamingdroid4834d ago

You have a good point, and I'm not advocating increases in game prices. However, one can always argue that it seems most game developers aren't making enough to sustain their business cost, let alone make a profit.

In your example, I could have equally have said that the PC tax is due to the fact that not as many copies of PC games are sold as console games and many more are pirated. This creates additional cost in piracy prevention and support of pirates. Yes, pirates will ask for support from the developers/publishers.

GrilledCheeseBook4834d ago

I still won't even buy a Ubisoft even though they lessened their DRM to online check on start up only. It's still shitty and their are so many other games available it isn't hard to just say fuck the game that will give the largest headache for actually purchasing it.

Duty Calls - Epic Games' Forgotten Call of Duty Parody

Back in 2011, Epic Games and People Can Fly launched a Call of Duty parody - Duty Calls - that has been lost to the annals of history.

closed_account313d ago

"Duty Calls: The Calm Before the Storm" sounds more like a massive case of the sh**s. 😂

I saw the parody mention, and half expected the ability to drop a deuce on your opponent... I left disappointed.

Never too much Taco Tuesday!! Now if only we could just achieve eternal Taco Tuesdays without the inevitable Wipe-It Wednesdays!!! 😂😂

Bulletstorm - A Cult Classic Worthy of Revival?

Bulletstorm will soon receive a VR remake, but is it worth revisiting? Take a look back at the original 2011 release.

IMissJimRyan321d ago

Absolutely. I remember when the game came out on ps360, I thought: "wow, another shooter" and in the 7th gen that wasn't an unfair reaction.

But when the game was re-release on ps4 I took my time an played it (it was on playstation plus at the time) because, ironically, I missed a shooter in that console. And boy, what a fun game! They made a game to be played and not to be watched. It was a fresh air in the genre that deserved better.

So yes. Maybe it find its audience this time.

SullysCigar321d ago

It's an awesome game. The only exception (for my taste) is the script writing, which is OTT, but I guess that's what they were going for. It does at least match the OTT action and gore. I thought it was great overall and actually being in this game is going to be bonkers!

IMissJimRyan321d ago

Yeah, I agree that storywise it's not an Oscar nominee, but it's like a porn movie in game format.

Abnor_Mal321d ago (Edited 321d ago )

Agree with the over the top script, and felt at the time that was the only thing that people were hyped about, the language and not game play.

But in vr this game is going to be great. It has everything that would make a great vr game. Lots of bombastic action, gunplay, blood, and that leash.

Looking at the gameplay now it seems that the game was ahead of it’s time and was perfect for vr before vr wasn’t even off the ground.

Venoxn4g321d ago

I loved the game back in the day and will love in VR even more!

Yui_Suzumiya320d ago (Edited 320d ago )

I got it on PS3 at launch and am still waiting for the long rumored sequel to finally be announced. Currently have it on Switch and wish a physical version of that would be released. Absolutely love it.

FinalFantasyFanatic320d ago

I actually feel like this game gets revived all the time, not that I hate the game, I actually quite like it, it's just constantly available, unfortunately I'm not a fan of VR so I'll be skipping this version.

Bloodborne is a game I still restart and play every few months. I would welcome just a re release in 60fps with a visual upgrade. It's a perfect game. If I was king for a day I would include the randomizer mods because then it would be a kind of rogue like and I could play it forever.

gleepot356d ago

Sure, ill take a sequel to all of these.
