I never played it as it seemed a large part of what they were proud of was its creative use of bad language. I figured if that's one of the main selling points of the game, no thanks. Was an incredibly cheap, juvenile tactic. If it actually was good, low sales seems like a marketing failure.

Like I said, the attempt at in-your-face marketing failed, as it almost always does. This wasn't "Make You It's Bitch" bad, but it was close as far as terrible advertising goes.

I feel the same, the advertising was broadcasting to me, 'THIS GAME ISN'T FOR YOU.' Not that cursing offends me, it just all seemed very juvenile. I imagine the dudebro market probably received it a little better.
Which was really disappointing after how awesome painkiller was.

Maybe I will need to go check it out afteralll... I already know the lack of jumping will take some getting used to, heh.
