GameFront: "BioShock Infinite is a great game you should play. It’s also monotonous, rehashes far too much of its six-year-old predecessor, and begs the question of what could have been."
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.
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
Wow, El Chavo Kart is not at all what I expected by the name. 100% looks like a Sackboy Kart game.
It's so odd that so many Spider-Man games are seemingly given lower print runs, even if they're not the best games.
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.
There's untapped potential with a few characters and enemies, but what's there is nothing to scoff at. It's still a good story, though I still prefer Bioshock 1.
I haven't yet played the game... it's waiting on my shelf at this very moment...
But surely unrealised potential in such a game can be a good thing? In a medium where sequels are generally improvements over their predecessors (something you don't often find in films), surely it's good to leave something for the future?
Or am I misunderstanding this title? I don't want to read the review for fear of spoilers. Just wondered people's opinions on this.
The game after 5 hours played I give it a 10 out 10.
Even that the Move support on it is totaly broken atm.
Hopefully they will patch it before I get the plat trophy like it happened to me before with Resistance 3.
I think given the changes over the years in this games development and it's ending, I think they realized that it was overly ambitious. That said, It's my favorite Bioshock game and possibly fps ever for it addresses themes and concepts rarely touched in the industry. Bioshock was a fun game, but I'm not one for nostalgia to sway my comparison.
"lots of looting things for no reason"
Truer words have never been spoken.
