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

Told all of you that Infinite is an RPG.

 

Guys, bullets? When you fire them, they're gone. C&C, bitch.

Of course you can always reload to get them back. Pussy.

 

But you'll immediately get more from whatshername.

 

umm... That's how we create emotional engagement. Yeah. Every time you have to have her help you become more emotionally indebted to her for her kindness and charity towards you. This is why you should respect and protect women.

If you don't like BioShock Infinite then you hate women. Why do you hate women?

 

The end of a console cycle should be when you ramp up the difficulty of games and especially sequels since you're dealing with a saturated market and they've already played games before and don't want to play the same thing with a different skin (brand loyalties excepted) or something even easier than what they've already mastered. Disappointing to read that Jew Levine's White Person Killing Simulator took the opposite approach.

 

Levine talks like System Shock 2 had some kind of soul scorching difficulty. It really wasn't that hard of a game, it just required the player to have a level of competence above a zucchini.

This chimp is willing to make the System Shock 2 awesome pro-gamer old skool experts™ jump through hoops to unlock a mode just to spare the feelings of shortbus passengers, lest they tell all their 3 friends not to buy the game because it insults them by listing modes above Shit For Brains

 

Worse for Bioshock 1 was the choice of whether harvesting the Little Sister for an immediate large Adam reward that lets you buy plasmids, many of them useless or moderately useful compared to those you get at the very start, or save them to get a smaller Adam reward, enough to let you buy the good plasmids, and unique plasmids that are rather useful. The story and game flow is simply unaffected, at best you get different lines from the characters and a different ending video, and though the gameplay is largely unchanged one outcome is simply better than the other, giving you little reason to harvest them unless you want to "play a role".

 

It's a role playing game because you PLAY a ROLE!

 

What a tool. He says this like it's walking in on a mafia crime, pit of spikes, or parents fucking.

 

Label your difficulty settings appropriately then Levine you pretentious fuck. Have things gotten so bad that you have to hide harder difficulty settings? If people cant read then they should get the fuck off.

Most interesting part is when he talks about Thief for like 1 minute.

 

All three of them should be unemployed. I'd make fun but they are living stereotypes so no embellishment is needed.

 

Thing is, tr00 gamers like to play them popamoles at high difficulties. The problem is that these challange settings are totally unbalanced. Either a popamole game is too easy(even on hard) or too frustrating. So Ken don't want his players to be frustrated because he can't into balance.

 

So, basically this game is absolutely horrible.
No fucking surprise there.

 

It was to me. I figured it was going to be like Bioshock 1 and the Codex would say it was shit from a butt and I'd enjoy it anyway. I wasn't expecting even more handholding.

 

You kidding?
Ted Jewvine has basically decided from early on to cater to the lowest common denominator on this one.

 

I don't pay much attention to previews of games. I barely will look at screenshots and trailers. After the Black and Whitepocalypse I wait for information nearer to launch. If there was warning of additional handholding then I probably just missed it.

 

How does this have more handholding than Bioshock? It looks about the same in that respect to me from the stream yesterday.

 

As I bitched about earlier, Elizabeth constantly throws ammo/health/mana at the PC and is a portable vitachamber so if you die you get back up in the same room. Levels are more linear. Quest compass/breadcrumb trail seems to be an arrow painted on the ground which is even more direct than the Bioshock quest compass. Elizabeth even throws weapons appropriate to encounters at the PC even before combat starts. You enter an open area with no visible enemies and she flings a sniper rifle at you and replaces your weapon with it so you can plink baddies at a distance.

Also looks like customization options are less than Bioshock 1. Looked like less plasmid juggling/rearranging/customization, and instead you get level up potions which let you upgrade either you HP, mana, or Halo shield (you have a halo shield now).

 

I didn't think it was possible to dumb down Bioshock. AAA industry hits new lows every day.

 

The girl with IDDQD throwing health packs and shit when you're about to die was annoying, yeah. So is the respawn system, but eh, you'll probably reload your last quicksave if you die so it's not like it makes a difference if you respawn. At least the enemies also respawn/get full HP and you lose money. I did find it p. stupid that you can't fall from balconies and the guy (apparently) doesn't take fall damage.

Levels more linear...well I dunno bout that, if they got more linear than bioshock it would be just a straight line. It still seems to be the same railroad with little forks and rooms with loot here and there. And in that quest compass also doesn't matter, you can't get lost on a bioshock game. just go the opposite way you came on the map. It's for retards with no spatial awareness like that guy streaming that couldn't even look up to find the magnet hooks. It's also somewhat cool that there are innocent citizens and shit and you can kill them.

Didn't see enough of the plasmids to judge because the dude was retarded and never used his powers. Potions of Skyrim development and Halo shield are the inevitable sequel decline, but I didn't play Bioshock 2 and I don't remember how exactly it worked in Bioshock.

 

Actually killed enemies don't respawn, they may regain HP, and I'm not even sure if he lost money. I didn't see anything showing up on his screen indicating he lost money but I suppose it's possible.

 

Yeah, I don't remember seeing anything either but somebody said that on the comments and I just took it for the truth. There must be a cost of some sort to respawning other than bullet-proof waifu ruining the immershun.
