Man, they REALLY don't want people to buy this game, do they? I mean, they MUST be aware that this marketing campaign is kinda disastrous right? ....right?

Loving this game.  It knows it's absurdly retarded and embraces it.  It looks like something I would make if I was on drugs when I was 10.

The release for Bulletstorm will coincide with Cliffy's 16th birthday.

I want to like this game, but they're making it really hard. They're spending money to make me hate Bulletstorm.

I love it how everyone cries out that this is so immature and childish when the whole point of the game is to be over-the-top crazy. I think it's awesome, and this is probably my most anticipated game of 2011.

It is immature and childish.  The fact that they set out to be that way is irrelevant.  Either you like it or you don't.
 
This is the same sort of logic people use to defend Uwe Boll movies.  "He knows they are bad!  He's doing it intentionally!"
 
So fucking what.  They suck.

Humph, this game is simply too childish. As a serious gamer I find the lack of deserts, a realistic story and arabs to shoot to be a gamebreaker. How can you have a good fps without that? And what's with all the colours? This needs to be more like Killzone, we don't need any kind of depth to our characters or gameplay. And humour in an FPS? What is this, Serious Sam? No thanks. 
 
I am so jealous of Cliff Bleszinski too, I hate that he has more money than me and is a co designer of very popular and well made games. God what a douche that makes him.

Wait, what? You had me up until you started talking about Uwe Boll. It's one thing to aim for a certain aesthetic that some people might not like, it's another to make complete horseshit that not even you like.

Didn't you read the Game Informer interview? They asked Cliff in what stage of production they were and he said that they were turning the game into something patbaer would hate. Seriously, you didn't read that?

" No matter how much he complains, nobody is going to stop calling him Cliffy B while he persists in acting like a complete twat. "

 1. Except, he said that once in a disarming fashion. Way to blow something out of proportion. 
 
2. What does this have to do with Bulletstorm? Lol, nothing. 
 
3. All I can say about this video is: lol. I'm still a bit turned off to Bulletstorm, but that video game me a chuckle.

I started reading your post and was going to respond with a pretty harsh response until I realized that you missed the famous "/sarcasm"
 
I am looking forward for this game due to its sheer unadulterated over-the-top action that looks and sounds GOD DAMN MOTHERFUCKING AWESOME.

The fact that the actual gameplay is so awesome makes it that much more painful to watch them destroy my interest in this game with these stupid videos.  This game is the epitome of bro culture.  Seriously, "blowing out some guys asshole", if that doesn't fit directly in line with the homoerotic underpinnings that define bros, then i don't know what does.  To be quite honest, I think Bulletstorm will do very well, but i hope it's because people want to kill with skill, not to blow out some guys asshole; know what i mean?

I don't find the videos funny at all, but its clearly not meant to be taken seriously so why argue over it. As long as I'm not gonna be called dicktits every 3 seconds while playing I'll have a fun time with this one.

this game keeps looking worse as more pr rolls out for it. not that i think it'll be bad, but at first i was really psyched for this game, and now it kind of looks like something a bunch of eight-year-olds somehow managed to cobble together. oh dicktits, there's always next time.
