People who claim the story was weaker than the first... they either haven't understood the one in Infinite, or they really forgot the one in the original.
I lost you after you defined Dishonored as a third person shooter.
Oh and gameplay and gunplay is meh? Do tell what tipped you off mostly? The arguably best A.I. in gaming for Elizabeth, the "flight and fight + open tear" battlegrounds, the unique enemies and powers or the sheer amount of options you have in combat?
edit: I won't judge people who do not like shooters and action games in general, nor for those who simply find the game... not int...
I was kinda stating that if it wasn't obvious from the previous comment. Oh and I didn't say it was a perfect game - no game ever is. However, it is both unique, entertaining and has incredible and engaging storyline... that is enough in my book.
The hype is justified. The more people play and finish it, the greater the hype. The reason why you think it is overhyped is because Bioshock: Infinite has been around (developed) for more years than most of the recent CoD and Battlefield games COMBINED. For several years there was constant barrage of new content and details about the game, and in my own opinion, the final product outshines everything they showed at E3 or game demos.
Oh and yes, while we are served with bland...
Over-hyped? Only a person who never played the game and is therefore, ignorant as hell to condemn it so.
All right, all right I admit I was bored of Diablo 3 cause the overall quality of the story and levels was subpar when compared to the highly praised original (which I played for a decade and more). However, this does in deed look interesting and refreshing and I bet it will work quite well on a console. I am assuming it will play VERY differently and will have its own set of innovative ideas that will make it great for new (and old) players to jump on. What I am really hopping is joined serv...
I am happy for AMD. Nvidia is way too big as it is and this will help boost AMD and strengthen the competition on the market.
I'd take better gameplay / story / longer game over graphics any day, thank you very much. What's with devs and gamers these days, drooling over how shiny a game's engine looks. I remember a time when people judged a game by its gameplay not by how it looked. I mean, sure, pleasing for the eye is something to be desired, but it shouldn't trump over how the game plays. Oh and one more thing, art style. You can have the best, real-life graphics possible but if the art direction ...
Most PC's... probably. Most gaming PC's... no. Not by a long shot. This is 2012/13 technology. Technical jumps occur on every 5 to 6 months. That hardware will be outdated in a year or even sooner.
Wait, who didn't see this one coming? Seriously people, it's EA. This is their job - to ruin studios and franchises. Westwood (Red Alert), Bioware (Dragon Age), Visceral (Dead Space)...
The first Crysis had something going (besides the PC-melting hardware requirements). The Nano-suit driven gameplay coupled with the open-world environments made it one of the "must experience" type of FPS of this generation. The sequels never lived up to that standard (check under "console optimization") and tried to mimick COD / Battlefied to become more popular which in my opinion, was the reason for their expected downfall.
There was a time when a game's longevity depended on QUALITY rather than DLC's. That time wasn't so long ago if you recall.
Cliff is being a moron for comparing Valve with EA. Valve didn't invent DLC's and has never shipped a half-arsed product in their lineup. EA on the other hand is the prime leader of greedy gaming corp. who's only contribution and overall innovation is testing how much they can further push the microtransation system down their co...
After all that ending and DLC drama, do they really expect people to buy this? I mean, its been a whole year since they released Mass Effect 3 and apart from people playing multyplayer I can't imagine anyone going through that process of playing yet another mission with Shepard only to be reminded of the huge pile of crap that's the conclusion of the series.
Seriously, if Bioware doesn't WOW us with Dragon Age 3 I doubt they can ever restore their reputation as d...
I am not concerned for Nintendo since the Wii had a similar problem this generation (way weaker hardware, a new gimmick for casuals and eh, several good games for the hard core fans). However, if they continue to neglect their fans for the sake of pleasing the much larger "casual audience" they might see a deficit of interested buyers of their system. Time will tell whether they can hit that magical spot that has helped them become the gaming juggernaut they are (gameplay > graph...
Well, they certainly took their time... not that it will change anything.
Why would I hate consoles? I hate the fact that I can't have all (or any) of them for instance, or say, when I can't get all the games I want for financial reasons. So, why such a strong word that will make PC gamers look like ignorant assholes?
The main "grudge" PC gamers have is with developers and publishers, not the consoles (and their owners). Publishers push developers to make games for the consoles since that market is much more "controlled"...
How about "less people talking for half an hour and not showing anything and instead actual footage of games and things that are relevant."
The real disappointment for me was the amount of bullshit praise they made devs gobble out for the console (which isn't even introduced yet, physically speaking). "Oh thy PS4 turns water into wine" says <insert developer here> in a 20 minute video. Why? Didn't these people learn from past mistakes? We want to see games and we want to see the console in action. I don't give 2 SHITS about some developer crapping on about how they made 10 000 polygon count on a charac...
I have no problem with casuals and non-gamers. Everyone is entitled to their own preference and I see no point in denying the opportunity to try out new technology and sources of entertainment. The problem, however, lies in Sony's intention to make their console "social" in all terms. Yes, you can choose to avoid all those, erm, "perks" but don't expect to be left alone. This isn't beneficial to the player in any way. It is only there to make PS4 owners want to...
Has anyone agreeing with him even read the review or you are just jumping with him on the hate wagon? His main grudge with this game is that it's not "atmospheric enough" when compared to its predecessors. Also, he has issues with Elizabeth's AI (some weird shit when she threw coins for him in combat... what?) and that the city itself wasn't as inviting as Rapture (since the citizens behaved like robots)... WHAT? (he obviously forgot that the citizens of Rapture were all...
