Is Civilization: Beyond Earth any good? It's a daily deal for $25 for another hour and a half and I've always been interested.

I wanted to buy this because it's a spiritual sequel to Alpha Centauri, but I knew better then to get it right away and decided to wait for opinions on the game once people figure out the quirks and gameplay mechanics. That would be the deciding factor in whether or not its a good game that will stand the test of time.

Jak 2 introduces a character who's supposed to be a totally unstoppable badass, but then makes you escort him and he dies super easily. So later on when you team up with him again, he dies in a cutscene. It doesn't really come as a surprise, since he's already been proven to be a total chump.

You have to wonder if Banon was really that important to the whole Returner movement. I kind of think that everyone would have been fine if he'd drowned in that first Ultros attack.

Edgar would have made more sense as the leader of the Returners anyway. Who even is Banon? He's just some guy.

Anytime an open world game comes out, give it a month or two for the honeymoon period to end and see if people actually decide if it's the worst game ever

All open world games are deemed poo poo within a month after release because people overplay them in a week and get bored, look at how quickly people soured on GTAV.

I bet you could go back to July 2010 and see people making GBS threads on Red Dead Redemption.

No way, the RDR thread was pretty popular for a long time. GTAO is still very active and people complain a lot about playing with random players, but it hasn't stopped anyone really from giving up on the game.

I didn't like RDR. In my defence I didn't like it in the first few hours rather than the last few, but most of the game seemed to be driving to bullshit fetch quests for people who were really obviously stringing you along and very little actually being a cowboy out in the wilderness.

Honestly I think it's hard for open world games not to start showing their seams one way or another once you've been playing them a while, even genre classics like Morrowind have some pretty gaping issues unmodded.

Bioshock Infinite looked very suspect from its first 'gameplay' trailer, you have my condolences if you actually paid full price for that

I remember a group of people still so bitter that Bioshock wasn't System Shock 3 that they stayed up until like 4 in the morning watching a stream of somebody who broke street date just so they could get a hard start on hating the game and bashing the ending.

Many of these same people are the ones conplaining loudly about Infinite years later, despite having experienced the game in the worst way possible while going out of their way to hate it.

I'm glad you were able to so utterly destroy these powerful strawmen, but Bioshock isn't good and Infinite is worse.

The remake also opened the door to some great Toon Link selfies, and using the gamepad to aim was sweet.

Actually, you know what? That's unfair. I played through all of Infinite on a rental, whereas I quit Bioshock midway through, so maybe Infinite isn't worse.

I think the first Bioshock was okay. Bioshock 2 had an okay opening but they had run out of material for the recordings and history or whatever, so I kind of figured the third one would be bad, and then it seemed like there were some problems during development, so I decided not to try it.

If you want to go to the trouble to dig up the Infinite spoiler/mock thread from the time of the game's release you'll see that literally everything I said is 100% factual.

Nobody does want to go to the trouble, so we will just call you a liar instead.
