Bioshock 2 is a better Doom game than Doom 3.

Smelly Bohemian posted:It's kind of weird how a supposedly revolutionary game just comes down to "run around and shoot everything you see. Also, gently caress Ayn Rand." It's not a great game, OP As soon as you respawn Unreal Tournament style the first time, all the scary horror tension is gone, and you realize how try-hard this game really is

Besides the story Spec Ops the line not being a glitchy pile of poo poo was a nice change of pace considering every spec ops game before it

It took me like 30 years of video game playing to realize that most of the time I just want really interesting locations full of hosed up things to kill. So yeah Bioshock was pretty good.

So yeah Bioshock was pretty good. Yeah, a cool premise and enemies can make a game great. Like in Bioshock, fighting mutated dudes in the ruins of a decaying underwater objectivist dystopia is rad as heck. Or other games like fighting supernazis on their moonbase in an alt-history 1960s, that's awesome.

Initially I was bored to death with Infinite. Then I started to get more intrigued as to where they were going with it. Then the ending came and I just said gently caress you to the monitor and Alt-F4ed out.

Console games are far, far superior to PC games. PC games should have died in the mid 90's, there's nothing to them, it's just casual bullshit made for lonely widowed grandmothers. If you're under 70 and play games on a PC you should do the world a favor and set yourself on fire and die a slow screaming death.

It was pretty cool when it came out in 2007 man more accessible than System Shock 2, but less options on how to do things neato underwater art-deco objectiveist hellscape is a super cool setting Bioshock 2 I felt had kinda better gameplay but didn't like it as much overall Bioshock Infinite was disappointing but not what I would call unenjoyable Smelly Bohemian posted:I kind of want to play Infinite now, but i have to finish murdering all these little girls first. you monster Monkey Fracas fucked around with this message at 17:58 on Sep 29, 2015 |

I'm pretty sure that plenty of people actually like one of the dumb games I like, so I'm not really particularly vulnerable on this point, but sorry I made fun of this awesome thread about how a critically-acclaimed popular thing is Actually Bad and we're all cool for agreeing  BioShock had some serious problems in terms of gameplay (I think I spent more time playing Pipe Dream than actually shooting people) and interactive narrative (notice that every time a person talks to you they just so happen to be standing behind a pane of indestructible glass) but did a great job of establishing a really gripping and interesting setting, making a point about traditional game logic that hadn't really been explored before (guy on intercom said to do a thing, so obviously you do it, A Slave Obeys etc etc etc), and making a timely political statement (Ron Paul 2008). It had good art direction and well-implemented RPG elements. BioShock Infinite managed to match the original in terms of setting and timely political statements but didn't really do anything particularly "new"; it was still a fun play and I liked the anachronistic music covers. I didn't play BioShock 2.

lmfao if you think that nobody explored the concept in bioshock before 2007 jesus agreed on the music covers in infinite, that poo poo was awesome bioshock sucked because it was this big underwater metropolis but there's like four real people in it and that's lame as poo poo in bioshock you show up a bit after society starts falling apart, in infinite you rip society apart yourself and that is cool as poo poo

My brother hated that pipe dream game so much he literally make a program that played it for him which I thought was kinda cute because the minigame is for 'hacking'. It's interesting to see people's opinions on bioshock 1 now, I remember when that game came out everyone adored it but now a couple sequels and knockoffs later it's considered retroactively bad. GBS is full of downers.

Ryoshi posted:bioshock sucked because it was this big underwater metropolis but there's like four real people in it and that's lame as poo poo I don't particularly disagree. I also liked how in the beginning segment of Infinite you get to see an idealized version of their utopian society actually functioning as intended, then in the middle segment you see why it was actually p lovely under the surface, then in the end segment you gently caress poo poo up. When you get to Rapture all the cool world-ending stuff has already happened and you have to glean clues together from the audio diaries everyone keeps for some reason. Not as cool. Hobohemian posted:That's a lot of words to say, " I'm a dumb baby upset about video game opinions." Yes, I am the person who is upset in this conversation, that is a perfectly accurate read of the situation *bubble pipe* Professor Shark posted:I liked the games but the endings all sucked and Infinite got bad as soon as Elizabeth tells you that you and her can just switch realities on a whim so nothing means anything I liked this and I also liked the ending but I freely admit that liking both of those things makes me a bad person

Not as cool. actually the latter piecing together is a lot more interesting than the former. Like System Shock 2, you show up to the Van Braun spaceship and everything is hosed. blood all over, everythings a mess and you're walking through the carnage and ruins. Rapture was, and still is, almost unmatched in that department too. Dead Space did this too very succesfully, there's something very intriguing, and eerie about that. infinite just went from like oh hey look all these people sitting around reading books and having fun, to suddenly there being no one around and occasional building on fire. occasionally 3 rifle dudes might come out and shoot at you but that was it. it honestly didn't feel like it was really in ruin or widespread carnage happened for the most part (also perhaps the atmosphere was still mostly happy go lucky sunny bright color stuff which never felt pressing or depressing)

There are points here too -- really I just would have been happier if BioShock 1's "lore" was presented in a better format than audio diaries Like, an interactive flashback sequence here or there with whatever pseudo-sciencey explanation would have been great
