Bioshock Infinite - the $200 million 6 hour literally on rails interactive movie with guns thread

[Shannow]

EDIT: I just noticed that they have the finished Washington Monument in the trailer. The monument was finished in 1884, Abe was killed in 1865. But I suppose if you lulzify Abe into a Vampire Hunter you don't give a fuck...

Well retards will consider Bioshock Infinite artsy. Anything that is a random stuff that makes no sense being thrown together is unique and artsy today in gaming due to tards.

That was actually a pretty fun book.

I don't understand why this is deserving of a 'featurette' promo video. It's just a fucking weird enemy to fight. LOL LOOK WHAT WE MADE PLEASE BUY THIS GAME PLZZZZZZ

What's he gonna do? Smuggle your tea?

 

[Menckenstein]

Is there a William Taft Power Armor that you use to shield yourself from the terrible onslaught of Robo Washington?

I should make it a rule to replay either SS1 or SS2 with each new Bioturd release. Silent protest, if you will.

 

[Cowboy Moment]

Do they really not understand that putting crap like that in their game will immediately destroy any dramatic tension by turning it into a straight-up parody? They didn't make Big Daddies resemble Ayn Rand (and thank god for that), so why go full retard now?

 

[Infinitron]

So, will the game's equivalent of Frank Fontaine be a William Jennings Bryan pastiche?

This pretty much applies to other media (movies, art, etc.).

I think it's obviously to attract the internet "LOL SO RANDOM" crowd.

To be fair, this is kind of marketing's deal, not the developers' - I'm sure someone said "robo-Lincoln? fuck yeah, that'll go over well with the Kotaku crowd!" and decided to devote a trailer to it (or, more likely, shoehorn the idea into the game). It's still pretty stupid but I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt as far as how it fits into the main game... not that I expect it to, but I've seen enough stupid shit pulled by marketing to give Irrational a chance.

Oh, I'm well aware of that. Still, from what I understand BioShock kind of got shafted by the playtesting process (players were too stupid to understand a shooter with non-hostile characters) and basically turned from a semi-open survival-based shooter-RPG hybrid into a corridor crawler because 2K were afraid of releasing something vaguely adventurous. I don't have incredibly high hopes for Infinite but there's always a chance it won't be terrible.

Instead of corridors it's going to be walkways on the magical flying city. I mean fuck they added actual fucking rails for you to hook onto and fly around. Not even hiding it anymore. Ken Levine let the BS (lol) praise go to his head and now he truly believes his shit doesn't stink.

This is the only way it can work these days:
Go in with low expectations, have expectations met, avoid bad game.
Go in with low expectations, eat crow, have fun with a "good" game.

LOOKS LIKE THEY CHOSE THE RIGHT NAME FOR THEIR COMPANY

 

[Cassidy]

About ten seconds of actual gameplay footage and two minutes of morons trying to act out the "making of" featurettes from DVDs.

Remember that these "games" wouldn't deserve space even as a direct-to-DVD release if they were shoveled in the media they truly belong to.

 

[Lyric Suite]

It doesn't show too much in his pics but the Jew was all over the place in that video.

 

[toro]

I still have some hopes for Bioshock: a mediocre-to-good shooter is not too much to ask. I think.

 

[SCO]

Wait for Dishonored then.

New enemy introduced: Boys of Silence



Ken says those clown-boys scare him. Okay...?
