If anyone isn't interested in playing the full game, here's the condensed text adventure version of it. Apologies if it's been posted before.

It's pretty accurate too.

He tells the girl that you suck. So you drown him in the fountain. Anger issues!

The girl thinks he's right and you do suck, so you decide to blow up the tower or something. You get on a zeppelin. Kill some people. I think it's the revolutionaries. Big bird destroys the tower, then the girl uses her quantum bullshit magic to transport you into an underwater city. Big bird dies. You get on a submarine and go to a lighthouse. You go into the lighthouse and you see thousands of lighthouses. You go into another lighthouse and now it's daytime. You see another version of Dude Bro McGunpants and the girl.

You ask "What's up with that?".
"We swim in different bullshit but land on the same shore" she says.
"I don't understand."
"You don't need to, as long as you believe the story is complex and not riddled with holes then you'll think it's your fault for not understanding."

"There's so many choices." you joke.
"They all lead to the same cutscenes."
"No one tells me where to go." you say.
"GO INTO THE NEXT LIGHTHOUSE" the screen tells you.

You're back at a baptism scene, the girl is your daughter, you sold her to Stomcock when she was a baby to pay off gambling debts (jerk!), Stomcock is you covered in different bullshit, a few different versions of the girl drown you at the baptism so you don't become Stomcock, you get an achievement.

The End
This sounded too derp to be true, so I watched the ending on Youtube and holy fuck that's really how it ends.

I think Spoony said it best when he pointed out that by drowning him at the baptism she has left her baby self in the care of a self-destructive, alcoholic mass-murder who is about to get fucked up over unpaid gambling debts. In this game, there are no winners.

Got stuck at the baseball sequence. Couldn't figure out how to progress and "Come on, take it" didn't really give any clues. Was stuck for hours before giving up. Game may be slightly buggy, but I'm sure these issues will be fixed by the time of the retail release date.

9.5/10

Hah. Back to Rapture again? They just can't let the place go, it seems.

Ken Levine: 'We are building a Rapture-based narrative experience"


Narrative Experience? These guys are basically admitting they aren't making computer games anymore. I guess they are afraid they won't be taken seriously by fellow creative big-shots if they admit the truth. Isn't that why some people started calling comic books graphic novels?

This looks so fucking retarded.


A Film Noir/Detective Mystery set in Rapture could actually be cool if it was structured like an adventure game and you spend the duration of the game investigating crime scenes,searching for clues,and talking to NPC's.

But that's unlikely considering the average Call of Duty mouth-breather finds that type of shit boring ...so, it will probably be just another round of blowing away Splicers and Big Daddies.

Excuse the doublepost.

Now we'll learn that Rapture went wrong because one retarded "detective" killed the entire population of the city on a murderous spree...

I don't care if you pulled that of your ass or it was in a review, it sounds 100% like the M. Shyamalan plot twist they would do.

I'll bet it's still 10x better than whatever twist they will actually do. Alternatively, it may be an entirely irrelevant shooting spree with no real significance story-wise. Given that BS:I was both of these, I'm wondering which they will expand on.
