The very first level is a huge brickwall for a new player. But from what can be seen so far, it's a brickwall worth breaking down.

My biggest problem was no autosave, I spent an hour messing around and enjoying myself. Knocking out guards, trying different approaches etc... Then I got killed by a trap.

Sent back to the very beginning of the game. >

I've signed a petition but seeing as I'm not in the US I can't call up an MP(not sure what you call them in the U.S, senators?) and protest it. Just have to hope for the best now.

I mean the "Eli" model looks and sounds nothing like Eli from HL2 anyway, everyone just accepts it's him because he's the only black model. If that guy can turn into today's Eli then I'm sure the Einstein model can turn into Kliener.

And the SP didn't feel like it was about the politics anyway

So how about the entire level that you walk through as puppet A.Ryan talks about the "parasites" that seems like a parody of the original Andrew, or the main villain being a socialist that's only character trait is she's really, really evil and she hates all capitalists. There's no depth to the characters and no reason to care for Eleanor apart from "you should care for her because we said so", the devs never make an attempt to grow the bond between yourself and your daughter and the plot twist is there because Bioshock did it.

Actually, everything is there because Bioshock did it. The game never takes any risks and instead of just taking what made the original great and expanded on it with way more content (see Fallout 1 to Fallout 2), it just copies the previous game because the developer the game was palmed off to weren't skilled enough or brave enough to include their own ideas and unique concepts into the game.

A.K.A it's a sequel because Bioshock sold well. Not because Bioshock required a sequel, just because they could squeeze more money out of the franchise. I hold higher hopes for Infinite.

some games just plain running badly on the system, such as Skyrim.

Have you used a PS3? Unless it's exclusive PS3 is usually the worst version of the game, even though the PS3 is more powerful than the Xbox 360 in theory. I mean, PS3 can't even use Directx due to it being MS software.

You shouldn't feel sorry for PS3 gamers this year, you should feel sorry for every one that's bought a PS3 since release, if it weren't for the exclusives that are usually high quality and the Blu-ray player then the PS3 would be the most expensive, and worst console you could buy.

360 users usually have nothing to worry about when they're buying a game, apart from their Xbox overheating and getting a RRoD. Most games today are built with the 360 as the lead platform. Console gamers shouldn't feel ripped, PS3 users should.

Using a PS3 exclusive game with big Sony backing is hardly a fair comparison, having a PS3 for 2 years taught me that the only people that care about making a good PS3 game are Sony. Most devs have the same attitude towards PS3 as they do towards PC, horrible ports are the norm on that platform. If you played Oblivion and honestly thought Skyrim was going to play any less shite than it on your PS3 you were sorely mistaken.

Another one:

PC gaming isn't worth developing for because of pirates. Nope, Skyrim(take notes, ubisoft).

Fastest selling game on Steam. Over 200 000 people playing simultaneously.

PC gaming is dead man.

alright guys that stops here, it's joking right now but we don't need it to get serious.

 

back to random.

Lol, this is what every conversation we have on Steam degenerates to. If we were going to have a serious argument it would have happened months ago.

unimportant countries

 

Canada

 

Exactly.

New Zealand, eh

I think they look like a walking raw chicken.

 

This going through my head as I play Bioshock 2.

Well then, I guess we can't be friends anymore.

I fail to see how adding shitty, tacked on multiplayer and a blatantly political story with zero depth when compared to the original's compelling story that caused me to read through Ayn Rand's work is any improvement on the original Bioshock story. Bioshock 2 just tries to hard but fails to compare to the original, similar to how Bioshock tries but fails to live up to System Shock 2's greatness.

I like it because it proves everyone wrong.

Games require multiplayer to sell - Nope, Skyrim. (3.18 million copies sold in two days)

Games need to have cut content to be released as DLC to stop console owners from selling the game second-hand - Nope, Skyrim.

Games need to have online passes to stop console owners from selling the game second-hand - Nope, Skyrim.

Games that have too much content cost too much money to produce - Nope, Skyrim.

---

Developers like those liars at Naughty Dog cry on about how they make no money from their games and they have to include online passes etc. to pay for server upkeep yet they selectively forget their lucrative deals with Subway which brings in mountains of money and free advertising of their game. Bethesda don't need to cut Catwoman out of their game so console owners don't buy second-hand, people actually want to keep the game because of it's huge amount of content available. It just shows the level of bullshit that gamers are willing to accept, and even defend.

When there a sequel just for the sake of having a sequel.

Canada

Exactly.

I think they'd taste like spider, they certainly share physical similarities.

 

wtf? what kind of spiders do you have in New Zealand? ^^

Headcrabs have a big body (compared to their legs) and they are "meaty".

Spiders have a relatively small body with long thin legs

The mannerisms and mandibles are straight from spiders, that and facehuggers from "Alien" are what Headcrabs are based upon.

Impulse bought Battlefield 3 for $69 when I was out buying Christmas presents for my family.

Spent the last 2 hours messing around with Origin.

>

-edit- Also, Bioshock 2 for Gamersgate at only 3GBP. Then an hour creating a GWFL account and restarting my computer excessively so I could save my fucking game. Having to deal with Origin and GFWL in one day has not benefited my mental health in the slightest.

Fahrenheit 415.

Fuck yeah.

Found that very interesting even though I didn't understand a bit of the terminology
