    Has any game they've set up with that system ever not hit all the options?

    The XCOM award is kind of tempting since I plan on playing the game anyway but then again -- would a pre-order bonus of a punch to the nuts be tempting too? I don't remember hearing very nice things about it.

    You will probably like playing through it once. Play it on classic/iron man/no tutorial for your first shot. The difficulty curve is front-loaded and the basic order of development has only minor variation so you won't enjoy a replay much, as you need enemies you've never seen before and iron man to have some tension in the midgame on. The impossible difficulty is stupid so don't bother.

    Glad to see that the BioShock protagonists are still stupid enough to inject/drink any random dangerous-looking chemicals on a whim.

    That was actually a fun trailer, if the entire game was like that and didn't take itself too seriously it could be alright. My guess is that's just the trailer, though, and the real thing will be just as "heady" and full of itself as ever.

    Also, I am really fucking tired of John Everyman, the boring white male protagonist of every videogame ever, with his simpleton "I don't really understand anything except shooting the bad guys" mindset, and in this game they've turned him into even more of a redneck than usual. God damn it. It's like the developers just assume everyone who plays their game is in it for the 'splosions, sexy underaged schoolgirls and ball-numbing action, and have built a perfect representation of the idea power fantasy of their target audience.

    The girl looks much older now than she used to before.

    This game brings a new meaning to on-rail shooters eh. I hope its atleast for 10 hours.

    The settings looks nice and personaly I like it more compared to underwater setting.

    People making game trailers a-la film trailers, with tons of jump cuts, never showing a scene for longer than 2-3 seconds at a time should all be fed to crocodiles. Just saying.

    Edit: On second thought, feed film trailer jump-cut clipmakers to the crocs too.

    Ken Levine was too busy touring universities making speeches to design students as well as making vlogs about awesomeness.

    Yeah, the gaming industry is weird like that. On one hand, you have the "must have annual releases" hysteria from major publishers. On the other hand, you have these inexplicably privileged "boutique studios" like Eidos Montreal or Irrational Games that sit on games for years and years, scrapping them again and again.

    I don't understand it.

    Btw the game is 18+ because it contains snuff porn elements or female abuse?

    I don't understand. Neither Shodan nor Big Daddy are AI companions(unless he is telling the big daddu is a companion for lil sisters). And let's face it, if there is a evolution of AI companions, it was not made by this hack or his games.

    Is Bioshock Infinite an RPG? Because it has gear

    You make a choice which gear to equip and the consequence is in combat. BS:Infinite, Codex GOTY RPG of 2013

    Gear doesn't make an RPG.

    Besides, those aren't functionally much different from Bioshock's tonics.

    So what makes an RPG? Have you seen an RPG without a inventory?

    You play a role in an RPG, and that role is not that of a loot container. Like Halo 4, you play role of Master Chef and you don't carry more than two weapons at a time. Some website called in an RPG so there you go.

    Someone explain to me again why BSI looks like a flashy Disney product? Did Ken ever explain why they chose to go with a comic look?
