Bioshock Infinite Review | IGN Russia

IGN Russia: "Infinite: so beautiful and detailed endings in video games were not long ago. Immediately after you begin to remember: a replica of some characters, a second meaning, unremarkable events are key, but the room for interpretations is enough. Is it worth it? Yes, of course. Bad shooter can be a good, even very good game, though, and will never be outstanding."

Russia should stick to dash cams videos rather than reviewing games.

stu8884039d ago

There's no AK47 in the game.

Bang, 7.5 that's all you're getting!

Heisenburger4039d ago

It wouldn't be referred to as an 'AK' in Russia.

OT: I'm getting Bioshock as soon as I cash my check Thursday. I'm excited!

Eamon4039d ago

There's an AD in the game ;)

WarThunder4039d ago

And u should shut up and accept opinions... Every gamer/review site around the world has the right to review a game.

benzopil4039d ago

Hello guys, I'm from Russia. Sadly because of such reviews.
IGN Russia exists only 1 month but it already tries to provoke a butthurt from everyone.
You can see in comments everyone hates a reviewer not because of score, but mostly because his text is just a pile of crap.

HammadTheBeast4039d ago

I blame the reviewer, not the country lol.

ginsunuva4039d ago

Wait since when was there an ign russia?

unchartedxplorer4039d ago

A month ago. Read benzopil's comment. ^

Williamson4039d ago

In Russia the games review you.... but seriously this game ain't a 7.5.

DigitalRaptor4039d ago (Edited 4039d ago )

No it's not. I'm sorry, but reviews are meant to be factual analysis supported by opinion. that's how it used to be before the Internet and the uptake of bloggers and selfish impressionable gamers calling themselves journalists.

A review is meant to speak to an industry not selfish opinion and desire.

Just watch Adam Sessler's review which contains reasons why, and factual ones at that why BioShock Infinite is nothing short of amazing and an instant classic. It aims spectacularly high, offers new things, pulls them off and drives the medium forward and is full of surprises.

Snake5k64039d ago

Sorry but no. Reviews are simply ones opinion towards a game. There are no two ways about it, it is as simple as that. They always have been, and will always continue to be despite what people may perceive.

What you describe is a professional review, which again is just a professional opinion.

People are free to judge games however they please, who are you to say otherwise?

Danniel14038d ago

At the end of the day though you shouldn't simply say something like; I hate this game because I hate all shooters or because I hate this type of art design and then give a lower score automatically. Opinion should not be the be all and end all of a review, you have to offer objective analysis of a game/piece of art/book.

For instance I hate Mass Effect 2, I just don't like it and nothing can change that, however I can say objectively that the game is an improvement in several areas i.e. graphics, shooting mechanics, dialogue wheel etc. Subjectively it feels lifeless to me but that isn't enough for me to tell a person not to like the game, that's simply a personal reason I might not enjoy it and it really doesn't help a reader make an informed choice.

In short; subjective opinion is a relatively small area of critique and just because a game may not be to your taste doesn't mean it fails to excel at whats it's aiming toward accomplishing.

WarThunder4039d ago

In Merica people get butthurt by a simple opinion...

Swiggins4039d ago

In America we recognize quality when we see it...

raytraceme4039d ago (Edited 4039d ago )

Lol quaillity? America is the biggest product of bs marketing. Americans think that high fructose corn syrup, beats, Xbox, apple products are quality... Lol go to Japan if you want to see actual quality and not just marketing hype.

BattleTorn4038d ago

@swiggins

lmao ahahahhaa

trouble_bubble4038d ago (Edited 4038d ago )

@Swiggins
The lowest review on metacritic <60/100 on XBox> http://www.metacritic.com/g... , lower than this one, comes from an American.

Tom Chick and Quarter to Three. Jus' sayin'

Ezz20134038d ago

Top 10 Rarest Xbox 360 Games That Are Worth a Fortune

Twinfinite: “War may never change, but the prices of rare games do!”

"And lastly, famous Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling helped to create the action-RPG’s setting. What’s really fascinating, though, is that the game was partially financed by taxpayers from Rhode Island (which allegedly lost the state millions of dollars). Yikes!"

1. Now infamous Schilling
2. No allegedly, it did. And they couldn't pay it back.
3. What really lost the money wasn't the SP release but the MMO they were working on. This was supposed to be an introduction into the MMO world.

Soy264d ago

I hate counting limited editions for these lists. I mean, they're made to be rare and expensive. It's far more interesting to hear about the NCAAs (even if most people know that one already) and the El Chavos than some massive hit that came with a $200 statue at retail.

gamerz264d ago

Me too. Here's the best I can do:

El Chavo Kart $90.14
NCAA Football 14 $87.72
Spiderman: Edge of Time $75.94
Spiderman Web of Shadows $75.09
Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions $67.76

Christopher264d ago

Wow, El Chavo Kart is not at all what I expected by the name. 100% looks like a Sackboy Kart game.

Soy263d ago

It's so odd that so many Spider-Man games are seemingly given lower print runs, even if they're not the best games.

jznrpg264d ago (Edited 264d ago )

Most Xbox games don’t hold as much value compared to other systems. Kameo, Blue Dragon, Last Remnant , and a handful or 2 of other games that I kept.

sadraiden264d ago

Fallout 3 and Bioshock Infinite are the rarest games of all time.

8 Best Games Set In A Multiverse

One of the biggest TV and movie tropes in the last decade has been the multiverse, the idea of exploring multiple dimensions to uncover alternate versions of existing ideas. From both a business and creative perspective, it makes sense why established franchises are shaking things up in this way.

However, there aren't many video games latching on to this trend, as rendering multiple worlds in real-time is a difficult feat and the medium is relatively young in comparison to its contemporaries, making crossover opportunities more difficult. Still, there are a few great titles that manage enough to overcome these challenges, and here are some of the best examples.

While I love someone mentioning Planescape, not really multiverse. Planes and dimensions, yes. But, they are typically their own locations and are very rarely tied to another 'verse' let alone another plane. The only things that are directly tied are the ethereal and material planes. Otherwise, they are dimensions created of their own design and goals by the creator/owner and not comprised of 'their own version of another dimension'.
