    Stylish, ludicrous kills net big points in this ridiculously over-the-top first-person shooter.

    Why was the voice acting and dialogue criticized?

    I've made it to the part where Gray (main character) gets the 'Leash' and I find his voice acting to be actually quite good. Even the dialogue has some hilarious over-the-top lines so I don't understand why the dialogue and voice acting was criticized so harshly.

    I mean, it's quite obvious that they weren't going for a serious story given how the main character becomes enemies with the villain so should the dialogue not be taken as simple hilarity?

    I dunno... I really liked that entire game honestly. Bummed that People Can Fly got put on that fucking awful gears game instead of letting them do a proper sequel to Bulletstorm.

    Dunno, Dialogue is incredible in this game especially from the General.

    It gets to be a little much after a while (and I say that as a fan). Just a side effect of the game having to run with the joke for 7-8 hours.

    I do love the VA, though. You can tell that the actors had a ton of fun, and I'd be shocked if half the lines weren't ad-libbed.

    "Grab your socks and pull up your cocks".

    Why would anyone take this seriously and criticize it instead of just laughing at it?

    This has been one of the most enjoyable games I played this generation. I don't remember the actual dialogue that well apart from that there might have been a bit too much swearing, but I do remember laughing quite hard at the ridiculousness of the story and dialogue. Combined with the amazing and colourfull environments, this game was fantastic. I would indeed love to see PCF develop another game with similar features, but I doubt they will be given a chance to do that anytime soon.

    Not that I would disagree (because Bulletstorm is pretty awesome) but you get the leash like, 10 minutes after starting the game, right? Might want to play a bit longer before you say something like that.

    Because people judged it solely by its overblown marketing campaign. The writing is fine - the plot is essentially a sci-fi pulp story with the characters hanging a ton of lampshades on everything. Great role by Steve Blum, too.
