The 200 Million 6 hour literally on rails interactive movie with guns thread (Bioshock: Infinite)

Codex, pretty sure this game will mock the jingoist tendencies of most Americans, not celebrate them.

 

Well there was a stream of a leaked copy of this up. I watched for about an hour. It looks far more linear (And has a quest compass/breadcrumb trail to your objective) and has worse AI than Bioshock.

My interest dropped from "Maybe buy it for $40 from a ruskie and sell parts and try to get it for $20 total or ask for it for birthday" to "$10 shitty FPS standard price". Unless it dramatically improves later (Possible? Not sure how far in he was when I started watching but most of the time I spent watching was him first meeting Elizabeth and then not actually playing the game for 40 minutes and watching interactive cutscenes) which is highly unlikely. Oh well. Even Bioshock was better than this.

 

http://www.ustream.tv/channel/aliensvspredators Streamer's back up elsewhere, if you manage to catch him while he's still up and want to cringe for yourself.

Edit: Oh god it never stops. You cannot die. Even worse than Bioshock 1. If you fall off a bottomless cliff the game just says "No no baby, no no" and gently sets you back where you were. No quickloading or anything, it just sets you back. If you die in a hail of gunfire, Elizabeth apparently DRAGS YOU HOLE FILLED CORPSE AWAY AND STICKS A NEEDLE IN YOU AND NOW YOU'RE OK. Not only that, she throws shit at you. Guy at was at 1% health, she goes "CATCH THIS" and he goes up to 100%. Game goes "THIS IS A GOOD SNIPING AREA" and she throws a sniper rifle at the PC replacing his primary weapon with it.

I WANT TO DIE

 

D1P

 

But what about 1999 mode? I heard it turns the game into System Shock 3 WHOA

 

Popo brought down another stream. Here you go. http://www.ustream.tv/channel/occupy-cyrodiil

 

Please tell me that was the 1999 hardcore mode, because that's definitely how I played my games in 1999.

 

Nope. I looked back in as time passed. Elizabeth constantly throws health and mana at the PC, and is like a Bioshock vita-chamber strapped to your back in case you die. If you thought the penalty for death (A short walk) was too harsh in Bioshock 1, they fixed it! Assuming you even CAN die with an NPC constantly throwing health, ammo, money, and mana at you!

Supposedly it was medium difficulty. The only reason the guy was taking damage was because he was amazingly bad at the game. If he was able to aim at all most every enemy was dropping in a few hits except for a few oddballs like giant robots.

Edit: Stream http://www.ustream.tv/channel/biozero-coke-infinite

Edit the second: If the stream craps out, supposedly http://www.poptarting.com should point you at a new one if/when it gets running. That's more than enough of this for me now. I'm out.

 

Wha... I never imagined it'd be THAT bad. Holy crap. Plus 1999 Mode only unlocks after you complete the first runthrough of the game. Fuck Levine.

 

Im sure it will improve at 8h mark, oh wait the game just have 6 hours.

 

You can't have the risk of harming the ego of casual players, Infinitron, this is bad. They want to play the game at the highest difficulty and be proud of themselves. If this mode were available from the start, they could get frustrated, they could die once, this is unacceptable, they could even cry. Don't you have compassion for them?

 

What happened to Levine? He used to be a bro

 

Money, lots of money.

 

Mods will fixit

 

I hate it when I'm right.

 

If this is all true then Irrational is another candidate to delete from my D1P_companies.txt.

No seriously, you can't die? The fuck Ken?

 

What exactly is this mode, aside from beeing harder?

 

They really overestimate how stupid the average gamer is.

Which is quite a feat since they are indeed quite stupid.

 

Translation: less ammo and reduced skill points.

Wow what a game changer!
