To be fair, it's my opinion of the BS (hah) demo. A case of interesting gimmick + bad execution.

It tried WAY too hard to be LOOKATMEIMSOVERYDIFFERENTTHANCALLOFDUTY for its own good. In-your-face, over-the-top humor, etc. The gameplay mechanic of Skillshots sounded interesting, but the way it actually played out felt like a chore.
I really wanted to believe that Epic could make another decent PC game, especially considering the way they talked it up. Despite running on pretty Unreal tech, it fell pretty flat for me. (a month or so after release when the PC platform finally got a demo)
My disappointment over Bulletstorm doesn't make Portal 2 a better game, but it does highlight just how much a better value P2 is. Even if someone pays the $60 console price, at least the PS3 version can play with PCs and comes with a serial to activate your copy on a Steam account. (both Mac & PC)
The single-player will be just as good when you get around to playing it, though. I think I just prefer to get it now since it means co-op with a friend.

The sword might be grateful to the forge fire, but never fond of it.
A Portal 2 thread, you monster.

Agreed. As masterful as Portal was, I'd rather wait for a price drop. *NM*

Stating that it seems overpriced to her != a "holier than thou" attitude.

as l-o-s said, I greatly enjoyed Portal 1. I plan to enjoy Portal 2.

Bulletstorm is single-player + coop only and sold for $60. What do you want?

Given that short review, I'd say anyone buying Bulletstorm is being severely ripped off.

If it's as long as Portal 1, then I completely agree

Thank you, Gher. And that last statement is kind of what I'd like to avoid
