Usually when I see a game that looks this bad, I avoid it, in this case I am actually downloading the demo to verify if it is infact this bad.

Im so glad Jeff also realizes how loud Ryan is when he plays games. You hear him clacking the sticks constantly in his quick looks

Totally! i thought it was only me who noticed...Jeff's little stab was really really funny :) No offence to Ryan!

From the demo and what I see here this looks like a bad Bulletstorm.

Played the demo. I think it qualifies as the worst shooter I have ever played, hands down. Total shit in every way. 
 
Honestly, why did they even release this? I would be ashamed to have my name on this.

Best* part about this game is the repetitive beat music looping over and over during the early parts of the QL.

*Actually among the worst.

"...we should just have ryan play everything..." 
 
 
YESSS!!!!   WTF I've always noticed that too, Ryan plays like a crazy man, I can always heard the analog sticks clacking away when he plays lol. Slams on those buttons too.

I imagine the game would be much more fun if it was a "DUMP BULLETS 24/7" kind of game.

Demo turned me off this game right away, not being able to move and aim? instantly made the game feel very archaic.  EDIT: Watching part of the Quick Look now, you CAN move and aim, I feel a little stupid, but the game certainly didn't make it clear to me in the demo that pulling the trigger half-way allows you to do that........still a stupid mechanic, let's be honest.
In a game like Killzone, it would make sense since you could lean in and out of cover. Here? Fuck no.

what really put me off of this game is that (at least in the demo) you COULDNT SWITCH THE CONTROLS on PS3. When a dev cant be bothered to switch the 360 LT/RT aim/shoot to PS3 L1/R1 aim/shoot, its the #1 sign the dev is half-assing the game, or at least half assing the port which i just cant take

Looks like they were trying to make a more visually vibrant FPS. Too bad they couldn't make the rest of it interesting.

This was a game I constantly forgot existed. Every time I was reminded on the Bombcast this was a thing, I could never understand why people would be hyped just cause the guy who made Black was making another shooter.

I watched most of this assuming it was a xbla game. I could kind of justify some of the things wrong with it if it was an xbla game, but a full disc game? Damn.

I didn't really have any kind of expectations for the demo and I thought it was alright, I also ignored the whole combo system and just went around shooting everything which was a bit more fun.

I read a preview of this some months ago and it sounded like they were aiming for a first person Vanquish. This is not that.

I really can't tell the difference between this shitty shooter and shitty shooters the staff love. Maybe they should act like Hard Reset and call this "classic gameplay" so people overlook its shittiness.

Wow. Giant neon logos for pickups all over the place, and even when you collect them, the go off to the left (to fill up the meter, presumably) which is super off-putting for some reason.

At least make it LOOK nice, guys.

Let me give you a detailed and elaborate answer that will calm all your concerns. The shooters they like are better.

"The last boss is Howard Beale?"

Hahaha. Network reference!

Cracked up when the enemy threw a grenade, it hit the roof, bounced back and blew him up. I'd call it shitty AI, which it is, but who among us hasn't done the exact same thing?
