Bioshock Infinite has been widely praised for its writing, but surprisingly few have talked about its flaws. Newbreview.com's Ian Cox talks about his issues with the game in this alternate view.
Twinfinite: “War may never change, but the prices of rare games do!”
"And lastly, famous Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling helped to create the action-RPG’s setting. What’s really fascinating, though, is that the game was partially financed by taxpayers from Rhode Island (which allegedly lost the state millions of dollars). Yikes!"
1. Now infamous Schilling
2. No allegedly, it did. And they couldn't pay it back.
3. What really lost the money wasn't the SP release but the MMO they were working on. This was supposed to be an introduction into the MMO world.
I hate counting limited editions for these lists. I mean, they're made to be rare and expensive. It's far more interesting to hear about the NCAAs (even if most people know that one already) and the El Chavos than some massive hit that came with a $200 statue at retail.
Me too. Here's the best I can do:
El Chavo Kart $90.14
NCAA Football 14 $87.72
Spiderman: Edge of Time $75.94
Spiderman Web of Shadows $75.09
Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions $67.76
Wow, El Chavo Kart is not at all what I expected by the name. 100% looks like a Sackboy Kart game.
It's so odd that so many Spider-Man games are seemingly given lower print runs, even if they're not the best games.
Most Xbox games don’t hold as much value compared to other systems. Kameo, Blue Dragon, Last Remnant , and a handful or 2 of other games that I kept.
One of the biggest TV and movie tropes in the last decade has been the multiverse, the idea of exploring multiple dimensions to uncover alternate versions of existing ideas. From both a business and creative perspective, it makes sense why established franchises are shaking things up in this way.
However, there aren't many video games latching on to this trend, as rendering multiple worlds in real-time is a difficult feat and the medium is relatively young in comparison to its contemporaries, making crossover opportunities more difficult. Still, there are a few great titles that manage enough to overcome these challenges, and here are some of the best examples.
While I love someone mentioning Planescape, not really multiverse. Planes and dimensions, yes. But, they are typically their own locations and are very rarely tied to another 'verse' let alone another plane. The only things that are directly tied are the ethereal and material planes. Otherwise, they are dimensions created of their own design and goals by the creator/owner and not comprised of 'their own version of another dimension'.
See what a side-by-side comparison of Clockwork Revolution vs Bioshock Infinite looks like.
Slowly the voices of reason are rising up. Infinite is not that great game that so many has praised it to be. It was like playing a COD single player campaign.
Nice article too for it mentions things that are true about the experience. Like a 5 year old DJ at a wedding reception, everything just kept changing. Nothing was steady or progressively good like the original Bioshock. I lost motivation halfway through the game.
It's really not the best that I expected it to be. It lacked the "feel" of a Bioshock game. And that wasn't due to it being in another location either. I don't know what it was, but it didn't play like a BioShock...it played like a shooter. The others didn't feel like that. Everything was cohesive and complimented each other. Here, the lines were jagged and the pace changes were jarring. The game was bad. Put on your shades and deal with it.
To me the characters were gimmicks and everything between the opening and the ending was boring typical CoD shooting levels, and the story content in them was melodramatic at best.
