Forbes - Dishonored and BioShock Infinite take two very different approaches to game design in spite of some of the games’ similarities.
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.
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.
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.
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'.
See what a side-by-side comparison of Clockwork Revolution vs Bioshock Infinite looks like.
I thought dishonoured was a much better game than Bioshock Infinite. I enjoyed every second of that game and just bought the DLC, Bioshock though I'm struggling to finish it because I'm so bored. Iv'e started to play the original Bioshock again just to see the difference and in my opinion Bioshock 1 is an absolute masterpiece and a heck of a lot better than infinite.
Dishonored fell short of what I hoped it would be since before it was formally announced, not that it's a bad game, the mechanics are ok, the stealth is weak and the story is predictable, I had some fun but didn't get the freedom to play how I wanted to play.
The DLC looks interesting with some fixes and new ideas, we'll see.
actually going back to dishonored after playing bioshock has made me forgot how much i liked dishonored. infinite is a good game but i like dishonored better even tho they are not the same type of game.
I'm glad the comparisons are being made. When BioShock was first receiving its high reviews I was one of the first to say that dishonored was a better first person action game then you had idiots blabbing out the mouth thy can't be compared saying they couldn't be compared because they werev two different type of games smh. The only difference is that in Dishonored you can stealth it but you can also justb straight run and gun action if you want.
In any case like in have mentioned many times before IMO Dishonored art style, atmosphere, world, combat system and weapons amongst other things trumps BioShock. infinite. I enjoyed Dishonored way more and whoever says they can't be compared is an idiot.
Just finished Dishonored last night. Great game. I think I prefer it to Infinite. I enjoyed the story, and I liked the stealth mechanics. Went for the low chaos ending, will go for high chaos on my second playthrough after I finish all the dlc. Looking forward to a sequel.
