I really didn’t care for the changes made to Bioshock Infinite to make it appeal to a wider base. I got maybe a third into it and stopped. Loved Bioshock 1 & 2 though.
I have to disagree. Personally I liked that Infinite felt fresh. I loved 1 and Infinite. I didn’t get too far into 2. It just felt like 1 but worse.
i started and abandoned 2 so many times. i just play like an hour and keep thinking “is this going anywhere” before uninstalling again
Ya 2 felt like the panburger partner of BioShock
It just felt like 1 but worse.
I don’t disagree, but I still liked it much more than Infinite. I didn’t care for the art style of Infinite, the social commentary didn’t land for me, and the guns weren’t fun to use. I know a lot of people liked it, but it wasn’t for me. It’s been a long time so maybe I need to revisit it.
I pirated it and still felt ripped off. When people were praising the nonsense plot when it first came out it felt like I was taking crazy pills
I really didn’t care for the changes made to Bioshock to make it appeal to a wider base. Loved System Shock 2, though.
They don’t sell? I was an older teenager when BioShock 1 came out, and people LOVED shooters? Wtf were they talking about? QUAKE?? Everyone was playing cod or half life 2. Fps was a successful genre already, both single player campaigns and multiplayer. i really don’t get this quote.
Immersive Sims never really sold well, that’s why it’s a dead genre since 2017
I never really understood how BioShock got this tag. What about it is an immersive SIM exactly? Bioshock is a linear first person shooter action/stealth game. There’s no other mechanics. You don’t have to survive in any way with food or water. There’s no deep mechanic specific to the world that you need to tend to and maintain. Literally the only thing that comes even close to being that sort of mechanic is the hacking? Is it an immersive sim simply because you can hack things and lock pick? Because I do those things in Nancy Drew games as well, but I’m pretty sure those are just point and click adventure games. I think BioShock is an amazing atmospheric first shooter RPG, but I’ve never understood how people think of it as an immersive simulator.
Yeah the only way it is a “simulator” is in a literary “If Ayn Rand ran the world simulator” type way.
Like, people are calling one of the few games with some literary depth to it a fucking similator instead of comparing it and contrasting it to Rand novels.
The antagonists name is Andrew Ryan. The guy who helps you initially goes by Atlas. You couldn’t get any fucking clearer on literary references but media literacy is just dead.
Just call me fucking Harry Haller because this shit is making me go mad.
Zomboid literally is a game of the dead, so yeah, this checks out.
Zomboid isn’t an im-sim, tho.
It is if you mod it enough :D
You can mod it into a FPS?? :0
