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

metacritic deletes some negative reviews. Had my deleted, 3000 characters

I suppose that if Torment had weak writing, complete lack of player agency, zero exploration, NPCs spouting exposition and was in first person, it would indeed be rather like Infinishock.

Nopes. I won't. I will say that those three pluses are enough reasons to play and enjoy a game. What remains of PS:T if it didn't have these qualities?

Chris (the dude creating STASIS) did a mockup of BIOSHOCK Infinite as a 2D RPG...

WOULD PLAY NOW.

 

[skacky]

I just saw that too. That guy is absolutely crazy talented.

If the only good things about a game does not actually include gameplay, you might as well watch someone else play it.

THAT FUCKING ASSHOLE SHOULD GO AND FINISH THE FUCKING GAME INSTEAD OF WASTING TIME ON THIS CRAP.

Has anyone tried jumping on Elizabeth's head? It seems they implemented a system that forces the player off her head if you jump on it.

I guess you can't persuade her to...


...give you head!

With what? There isn't even a persuasion minigame with romance options. In every other game you can jump on people's heads. In Bioshock Infinite it's like they deliberately spent time implementing a technology to slide the player off Elizabeth's head once he jumps on it. I tried doing that 20 times and Booker would just slide off Elizabeth's head like a snot.
Why did they do that?

 

[Angthoron]

Maybe it's the other way around, other games include a head-jumping feature while these guys decided to cut corners.

this was the worst fps i played. bioshock 1 and 2 and the expansion were brilliant games but infinite was boring

 

[Zewp]

Holy fuck can you get a more obnoxious knob that that guy? Jesus.

 

[ohWOW]

this was the fucking worst fps i played. i could have donated the money to charity . bioshock 1 and 2 and the expansion were brilliant games but infinite was a dumbed down boring stupid piece of pretentious shit. levine just lost his day 1 purchase status. blizzard is the only company BARELY hanging on and only by a thread.

it's all over for the AAA industry. they're all frauds, and indie developers are worse. no one thinks your platformer with a twist is clever u fuckign faggot. heres a typical indie title "the crazed missadventures of mr. giddeon glasglow and the amazing time machine AIAIAIAIAIA!!!" go fuck yourself

billion of brofists

Then you get Indie developers like TheIndieStone who insist they don't have to be professional because they're indie developers. Even though they take your money.

I tried watching once angry Joe's video and i stopped after 1 minute. Is that idiot or his opinion important since i see him popping up in various threads.

His a top proof we live in the age of decline.

Did anyone play the game they ripped off from? I never got the chance to play it myself, but I wouldn't mind another Myst experience if it's decent.

 

[ohWOW]

Wow, so they literally stole that? Didn't even try to cover it up or something?

He tells the popamoles what they want to hear, so they love him.

There was a really good LP of this recently at Something Awful: http://lparchive.org/Lighthouse/

Judging from the LP, it's a mixed bag.

"It certainly looks impressive."

Just one step up from "This [is] a [movie]."

 

[agentorange]

I played it a long time ago when I was going through various horror-themed adventure games. It layered Myst like brain numbing obtuse puzzles on top of Monkey Island 2 style pocket dimension inventory puzzles; I did not get very far. The similarities are there, but it's not like any of the stuff was original even in that game: Baby being kidnapped is a typical plot device, the dimension hopping is of course from Myst, the lighthouse is a fixture of a lot of horror/suspense fiction. The mechanical bird guardian could have been inspired by the game (even then, a robot guardian for a child goes back to Robby the Robot in The Forbidden Planet, and the logical choice for the form the robot guardian would take in a city in the sky is a bird), but it's not like other games, and film and novels, aren't constantly ripping each other off.
