PEGI explains what is considered “blasphemous” and discusses Bioshock refunding
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.
ok i think trying to explain science to a religious person is like playing chess with a pigeon, it will knock the pieces over, crap on the board and strut its head like it won the debate. but religion in games are harmless unless they mean harm
games and religion should not mix
what makes it OK in some religion(s) might upset other(s)
I'm wondering how those complaining about Bioshock Infinite's baptism segment manage to get by from day to day. If this is enough to upset them, I wouldn't advise they go outside, watch TV or read the news for a good while.
Look, BI is a game. It's entirely fictional - its characters, its concepts, its events, its universe - you're playing through a narrative, not a reality, and it will only 'affect' you if you're sensitive enough to allow it to. If everyone protested about everything they didn't like, or didn't approve of, the entertainment industry would die out overnight (along with many others).
What gets me in this particular scenario is that the 'offended' (i.e. not ALL religious individuals, just the one's creating a fuss) are happy to slam the game's baptism bit, but seem to have no problem at all with its racist undertones or violent aspects. I'm no expert, but from memory I'm pretty sure most religions have a few things to say about these two topics...
I keep getting run time error. Can someone please tell me what it says?
There is no god.
