Couldn't agree more, you can argue 1 and Infinite are bad games but they are at least memorable

The only thing i remember from 2 is that a friend of mine slammed down hard mode and got real mad it wasn't a walk in the park because "i'm a big daddy, this should be easy"

I remember not liking 2 at all when it came out, it almost felt like a quick cash in. I remember loving Infinite. I got the HD pack on PS4 a few years ago. I played 2 again and LOVED it. I thought the gameplay was really good and I liked the story as a comparison to 1. The DLC was also really well written. 1 wasn’t as good as I remembered, it really overstays its welcome. Infinite is TERRIBLE. Everything about it is awful. I have no idea how I ever thought it was good.

X7 is on another level though. Sakurazuka posted:Bioshock 2 is the best one, Bioshock Infinite is one of the worst games ever made I was surprised how much I liked Bioshock 2 when I replayed it recently. They definitely refined the combat and generally speaking improved on everything from the first game except maybe the story. I guess I don’t love the defend the little sister segments that are too frequent. I remember liking Bioshock Infinite when it first came out but I haven’t played it since and I get the criticisms of the story which was originally supposed to be critical of the astroturf Tea Party bullshit that popped up in reaction to Obama but ended up being... not that. Also lol at having a gun upgrade system in a game where you can only hold two guns at a time. And the developers kept saying that Vigors wouldn’t be exactly the same as Plasmids but they ended up being exactly the same as Plasmids lol Edit: Bioshock is still a good game, you clowns.

So one of the games I've always wanted to play was the super robot wars series and today I found out these are on the switch but had Japanese/Asia only physical releases. They all seem to have English text available (i guess because Australia?) so language barriers don't seem to be an issue, but would have any other problems? Like it not downloading updates or something because im in the US? Also is this site a good place to order them from? And imported games in general? https://www.play-asia.com/super-robot-wars-v-multi-language/13/70cwcr?ref=otherbuyers Also there seems to be three of them that seem (based on the limited information i've gathered in the last 10 or so minutes) that they mostly differ in which series are featured? Or are there other differences?

Infinite's ending where they pull the concept out and reveal the multiverse rocks but the political see-sawing before that is embarrassing.

You can find some really cool things with like 5-10 minutes of googling though, it's really not some terrible process. lol alright im in. for uhh 'scientific' purposes

Sry if this has been asked a ton, but I keep up with this thread and it moves quickly, etc. but the current sale in North America seems like it has a bunch of good stuff, I finally bought Hades and I’m weirdly enjoying it. I also bought The Talos Principle again cause i don’t think I’ll ever finish it on PS4 cause I prefer puzzle games like this for Switch, and then I bought the original Doom (never played it before!! But I like Doom 64 on Switch) and Felix the Reaper, cause it’s 2 bucks. I like whatever Super Monkey Ball games I played on GameCube, but I’ve heard mixed things about Banana Blitz HD, but I forgot what the deal was exactly. Also heard good things about Travis Strikes Again, but I don’t know much about it, or No More Heroes but they look cool. Same with Wonderful 101. Is Superliminal good? Or Wandersong? Is Baldur’s Gate 1 and 2 worth playing for someone who’s never played either of those games?

Infinite should've gone with the multiverse/timeline shenanigans from the start instead of the "What if 1850s but Too Much?" horseshit. The time-displaced pop music was pretty rad though, not gonna lie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQheaCpjH0I

What I liked about 2 is how it had very balanced difficulty that made me engage with mechanics I'd usually ignore. I think I gave every ability a fair shake. The wave battles were quite good. The story was fine for a B-plot not reaching too high.

Then in B2 oh whoops lets just start the Little Sisters back up again and bring some of the characters from B1 back for reasons that didn’t really hold up. They would have done better to stop with the first or set B2 in the early days of the Splicer wars.

B2 is the most fun to play and therefore the best, story retconning doesn’t really take anything away from it imo. The first one was pretty good too but Infinite was a bore to play with some pretty gross plot points. I remember playing Infinite on PC when it came out and just not getting the hype compared to the first two.

Minerva’s Den was better than the entirety of Bioshock 2, yeah. It gave me the same feeling as the big reveal in Bioshock. Really incredible bit of storytelling. I never played the Infinite DLC, was it bad? I think I heard it was bad.

The biggest reason to pick up the Bioshock Collection is that all three Bioshock games have stellar production design and environmental design. Rapture is one of the most iconic video game settings and even Infinite (which is bad, don’t play it) has Columbia as one of its high points. The writing has always been really good at the concept level but with the exception of Minerva’s Den (which is a predecessor to Gone Home, as in literally the next thing most of those people, including the director, made was Gone Home) the execution is lacking. That said, Andrew Ryan is still one of the all time great game villains and his introduction is so well written that I forget that his “Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow?” speech is not actually a quote from Ayn Rand. Edit: Malcolm Turnbeug posted:Can't argue with this but also I'm having trouble thinking of any AAA game with a clear political position that this doesn't apply to noted leftist media the Pikmin games have stories that are all about capital taking advantage of labor and the gameplay is a testament to the power of collective action, truly the wokest game DC Murderverse fucked around with this message at 05:08 on Nov 27, 2020 |
