His main beef is that the premise of infinite timelines undermines the entire point of Booker being drowned, to which the only explanation Elizabeth offers is the laughably flimsy idea that "some things are always constant". Orange Sunshine posted:The various Elizabeths kill Booker so he can't become Comstock, which prevents Columbia from happening and the Elizabeths from existing, so they all disappear. Elizabeth also lets it slip that Comstock exists in "millions of worlds", which in a game of infinites implies Booker's initial baptism decision has no real bearing on anything whatsoever. By that logic, killing Booker at the end does nothing either lol. Given this nonsense premise, the only way to prevent Comstock from being a thing would be to go even further back in time and presumably kill one of the Lutece's parents before their offspring is even conceived. You are welcome to buy all this drek but that is one dumb story arc imo. Homestar Runner fucked around with this message at 08:18 on Feb 20, 2017 |

I'm pretty sure Elizabeth was just fed up with babysitting Booker so she made up some excuse to kill him and then went off to have fantastic adventures without that idiot tagging along.

Homestar Runner posted:His main beef is that the premise of infinite timelines undermines the entire point of Booker being drowned, to which the only explanation Elizabeth offers is the laughably flimsy idea that "some things are always constant". This is well explained in the game. Bioshock Infinite's version of infinite timelines has "variables and constants". This is explained in detail, with multiple examples throughout the game. In the very beginning, as the Luteces are bringing Booker on the rowboat, Robert says, "He DOESN'T row", meaning that Booker never rows. Robert tells Booker not to pick number 77, which he picks anyway because Booker always picks number 77. At another point, Robert is wearing some signboard showing that Booker always flips head, and asks him to flip a coin, which comes up heads again. The baptism is a constant, Booker always either gets baptized and becomes Comstock, or refuses it and doesn't. So it's at this point that the Comstocks can all be killed off, if all the Bookers who accept baptism die. Again, the youtube critic doesn't like the idea that "infinite" parallel realities could have constants, but that doesn't make it an invalid concept. Parallel realities can work any way you want them to work in fiction.

Old school sonic games are poo poo and make no sense. If you want me to go fast give me enough screen real estate to plan my moves so not constantly running into walls. If you want me to be a platformer do make me so drat fast and don't hide platforms outside of my vision. Also undertale is poo Overhyped nerds wanking over an spiritual successor to earthbound. Except they never played earthbound. Everyone who has tried to convince me of its quality tells me I'm playing it wrong. It is trying to be ikaruga, the Stanley parable and final fantasy all at the same time. Please tell me how I am supposed to play this game when I have no context.

the hype surrounding Horizon Zero Dawn is 100% artificial and I don't believe anyone is actually looking forward to that game (except, like, video game review people who get paid to be excited about hot new tech products). Plus the studio responsible for it has never done anything even remotely memorable, so there's no reason to believe it's gonna be any less of a boring derivative piece of poo poo than the entire killzone series was. Plus its visual style hinges on 90% of what's on screen consisting of spastically jiggling digital grass and/or ponytails and it generally just looks like the video gamest video game to ever video game. Like, these are the people who produced that killzone 2 "gameplay demo" in 2005 that still looks better than most ps4 games, why is anyone acting like they somehow gained credibility during the intervening decade???

Incoming Butthurt: RTS games where you have to frantically gather resources before you can attack some other frantic person are boring games that only spergs and autists like because it gives them some weird feeling of accomplishment. It's not strategic, and there's no good game play. It's just making sure you have enough numbers before you go do something with your numbers. Consider it like going to work and saving money before buying that big meal at Subway on Friday. Jestery posted:Also undertale is poo

Everyone who dismisses Starcraft's strategy is actually thinking, "Uh, clearly this isn't a strategy game because then I would be winning, since I am of course a natural strategic genius"

They usually throw in a flat chested girl for the weirdos like you with your ~tastes~ Videogames are about escapism. I can see normal sized boobs anytime by going outside. In videogames I want to see boobs bigger than the girl's head.

I think the SNES and Genesis were both very good value consoles to have in their day, and if you had either one you were not deprived as a child, and you had a universe of great games to enjoy.
