Haven't you read MR? Bioshock infinite is not worth this title because it does not have multiplayer

FaultyPixel4465d ago

Sigh yes. And that depressed me

MysticStrummer4465d ago

No one I know who's actually playing this game thinks it's quite as amazing as critics claim. I'm sure it's still quite good, but "defining a generation"? The Souls series did that for me.

FaultyPixel4465d ago

Well I've played it and I wrote it so.... guess I have a different opinion to everyone you know ;)

DigitalRaptor4464d ago (Edited 4464d ago )

May i ask what reasons they give for it not being as amazing as the critics say.

I ask this because the critics give strong well thought out and highly literate reasons why its such a fine piece of entertainment, yet the ones on here saying "it's not that great" don't back up the claim.

Is it that they don't understand the story? They don't appreciate the detail? They don't like Elizabeth? or what?

kneon4464d ago

It was a very good game but it's far from defining a generation.

SPOILERS AHEAD!!

For me one of the issues was that there were few surprises. You could see almost everything coming a mile away.

In the first 5 minutes alone we already new that we were dealing with time/inter-dimensional travel, that this had already happened before and that we're trying to stop something from repeating again. As soon as I saw the lighthouse I was waiting for our trip back to rapture. Almost every detail of the ending was given away long before we got there.

Blizzard, 2K Games And More Formally Return To PAX East

PAX EAST has officially confirmed that Blizzard and 2K Games are amongst the bigger names attending the show. This would be two of the bigger names to return to live U.S. shows since the Covid Pandemic.

Good to hear. Past couple of years the show floor is getting smaller & smaller, with more space everywhere. Food truck trucks made their way on to the expo hall floor last year. Haven't seen that since 2012.

Garethvk66d ago (Edited 66d ago )

We stopped going to PAX West and let local team cover it. We could not justify airfare, rental car, food, hotel, etc for indies.

In Praise of Mafia III’s Voice Acting

Shaz from Pixel Swish: "The Mafia games have always excelled in storytelling and voice acting. Though Mafia 3 faltered in some gameplay aspects, its story and, particularly, voice acting are tremendous."

Mafia III had a great narrative and some truly incredible performances. The gameplay loop had its issues but the story, acting, world and atmosphere don't get nearly enough credit.

Profchaos100d ago

I loved the story elements butbfirnme the gameplay loop went behind issues it was utterly dull and it's structure was it's downfall.

Go to area of map disrupt business through open world shenanigans that feel extremely rinse and repeat many times until cutscenes and boss fight then repeat again

They had so much potential especially in the CIA angle but it was squandered.

I wish they could do it over and focus on the narrative like a more traditional GTA game

VivaChe99d ago

First few hours: "This game is incredible!"

Hour 10: "Wait, that's it? I'm going to be doing the same thing over and over for the rest of the game??"
