Bioshock Infinite is a game I would only recommend to those who have played the first Bioshock. It is necessary to become intimately familiar with the overarching similarities and themes in the original to truly appreciate this entry. A man dropped into a city of which he has no knowledge to bring down the ruling tyrant is only a taste of the connections between the two titles. Infinite is an experience that will stick with you. The game is new and inventive from both a story and gameplay perspective. It is respectful of its roots and will bring lovers of the first Bioshock back into its unique form of storytelling. Infinite is a social satire that examines redemption, religion, and patriotism in a world that can take any presupposition of good and truth and warp it into a corrupted beast. The ending of Infinite will leave your jaw agape and your head thoroughly scratched but if you love a story that is complete with a fitting ending, Infinite is the game for you. The team at Irrational Games has built a title that will earn its place among the best games this reviewer has ever played. If you are not a fan yet, pick up a copy of the first Bioshock title and join those of us who has already experienced the masterpiece.
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.
Surprise!
nope, i don't think so
Purdue review?
I've played all the Bioshock games and to me, they all feel half-assed. This game deserves a 7 out of 10 AT BEST! Of course, this is just my opinion. Sub-par visuals, generic sound design and clunky controls are what this game is about.
