This article is useless,
it misses all the points it wants to make.

NukaCola4814d ago

Id change one thing. The pacing of the exploration. I think the open world of Bioshock was more more rewarding to explore than infinite. They could of done s better job with the exploration. There was two vigor opened rooms and the rest was just lick picks. Would of wanted to see more originality and puzzle solving when doing the run abouts. Akso like to see more back tracking. Just something I liked more from the first Bioshock.

rello914813d ago

I hate backtracking in games

humbleopinion4813d ago

lick picking sounds nasty. Is that referring to the potatoes in the toilet?

soniqstylz4813d ago

lick picking is how you remove Elizabeth's chastity belt.

HammadTheBeast4814d ago

No game can ever be perfect. It can go up to 95%, as Bioshock Infinite and the original did for some, but the other 5% is a matter of opinion.

Capt-FuzzyPants4814d ago

That would have made it better. But how much is enough. I mean is there ever really enough cowbell?

KillrateOmega4814d ago (Edited 4814d ago )

Unfortunately, no. There can never truly be 'enough' cowbell. We can only strive to acquire more of it.

This is the truth of the universe.

KentBlake4814d ago

The game would actually be worse if these 10 things were in it.

legionsoup4814d ago

Agreed. This is why Ken Levine makes games, and the person who wrote this "writes" for home made website.

ZombieNinjaPanda4813d ago

Yeah, no. A lot of points make sense. Make it less violent makes absolute sense. Why is a city full of these supposedly prestigious people so quick to rush at the main character like suicide bombers? They're not splicers, they're not crazy, yet they still do.

Upping the NPC interaction would be great. Remember one of the earlier trailers where you had to deal with a crazy man shooting a cannon at you? You probably don't.

Making the choices matter? Why advertise your choices mattering if they don't. That would definitely make the game better than what it is.

Not limiting the weapons would be great. Another game where you get a conveniently placed super weapon before fighting a boss instead of conserving ammo, not to mention the vigors that have no place in this game other than making it "bioshock related".

soniqstylz4813d ago

Where did you get the idea that it's a city full of prestigious people? This isn't Rapture, where the best and brightest fled to Andrew Ryan like his name was John Galt. Columbia was a floating battleship masquerading as a city.

And the Vigors were explained that Fink saw one of the Rapture biologists using Plasmids through a tear. Yes, the tears give a convenient way to fill plot holes, but there it is.

nutcrackr4814d ago

Most of these are actually quite good. I think they would help make the world more believable and make the action less monotonous.

r214813d ago

I disagree with points 8 and 10, the rest however is what would have made the game even better.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle57d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde64d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy64d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12564d ago (Edited 64d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga65d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit65d ago (Edited 65d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199265d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga65d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac65d ago (Edited 65d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman65d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger65d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box65d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion65d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7265d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7565d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit65d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14965d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7765d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
