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

[Jick Magger]

Really, the only good time travel stories I've read kept the actual time travel relatively simple and straight-forward (i.e. The City on the Edge of Forever, and even that runs into fairly basic plot holes almost immediately). Try and make it too complex and you'll immediately start running into problems, inconsistencies, and other assorted issues.

This game is just 2deep4me.

Also big shocker that gaudaost is praising this mediocre crap.

Yes, for all the flak Morgoth gets, there are far worse people posting here.

HI GUYS. WHAT'S UP?

 

[evdk]

We're criticizing gaudaost for buying Bioshock Infi... oh

That's an interesting choice for the first post.

So is the game shit or shit? MAKE UP YOUR MIND, CODEX!

 

[Jaesun]

Everything is shit MapMan.

 

[DalekFlay]

Wouldn't getting the National Geographic channel be cheaper in that case?

It's more like walking around Disney World, which is expensive. Though I of course take your point. If you don't masturbate furiously with excitement about walking around neat places this is not the game for you.

I do

Except Ubisoft apparently. Somehow.

Gaudaost is an advertising plant sucking money out of shit developers. Morgoth is a D1PofBSer throwing his money at them as fast as he can.

The game was super easy in 1999 mode until the Mr. Handymen or something. I... these things keep killing me and I don't think I'm even damaging them.

Someone should make adventure games in Bioshock settings. So much good artwork and sets going to waste for some mediocre shooter.

 

[Hellraiser]

ohh my god, the opening is khors wet dream.

Now you made me want to find it on youtube and watch it as that sounds hillarious, unfortunately I failed in that task and cannot find it. Meh, I'll look tomorrow.

After watching some LP's this game looks like it was written by 10 year olds. Seriously, does anyone playing this even realize how juvenile this shit is?

I doubt most of them, especially the game journalists, have ever read more than the books assigned to them in high school, so, no.

Their target audience doesn't read stuff. Just pew pew, get achievement and win the game. Then off to next game.

Remember, Fallout 3 had awesome and deep writing. Nothing can be worse than calling Fallout 3's writing that.

You haven't played normal mode so I'm not sure how well you can answer, but anything different about 1999 except enemies have more hp? I don't understand what's supposed to be different about it.
Levine was saying stuff about 'having to make permanent choices' etc. but it's not like I can trade in Cyber Plas Vigors on Hard either.

 

[LeStryfe79]

Yeah, but I've seen some heinous shit so far. Private eye circa 1912 rides a boat to a capsule that launches him into the clouds, where he finds a city. Of course he's just "passing through" since this shit's just another walk in the park. No big deal. because giant Greek statues of the Ben Franklin are there to greet him with a friendly hello while gospel music plays. The most realistic part is how the first 50 people the protagonist meets is a religious zealot, since that's how towns work. Also, it's pretty cool how the devs saved money by using the same 5 character models for everyone. Truly I am awe stricken to the point of gross sobriety.



Edit: Prosper's Funhouse exhibits better writing than this popaturd.

Reading RPS's Alec Meer praise the ridiculous baseball scene made me want to grit my teeth. And as usual, Josh knows the score.

it gives me second hand embarrassment that games press is so quick to hand out lavish praise to any game that has overlap with film cliche

film critics think the dark knight and the dark knight rises were amazing films so that's not so surprising.

 

[LeStryfe79]

+1 this time Josh.
