I don't hate it, I just think they took a 10/10 concept and made a 7.5/10 game.

The gameplay is atrociously bad and the story is contrived. The only redeeming factors are that the aesthetic is bretty cool and Liz is a qt.

Bethesda make boring games for boring people who're easily entertained and lack the capacity to think critically.

Go look at Fallout 3 reviews and tell me it's not fucking confounding. It's a fucking swindle, and one of the greatest mysteries of our time.

Boring gameplay, story is a mess.

Graphix and presentation are the only points of merit but in the landscape of modern FPS, that's apparently enough for critics.

This is rarely true for games post-5th gen. Many modern game players have either "varied enough taste" or a lack of critical standards that they'll pretty much eat up anything they end up buying. It applies to both games that are unfairly panned by the media or those that don't take off saleswise (aka the shit /v/, for better or for worse, really likes).

The only time this is true is for old school WRPGs or other niche PC genres from earlier on, because younger players are unable to acclimate to older control schemes. But "muh kinaesthetics" is a shitty argument, anyway, so they shouldn't be listened to.

No, but if some motherfuckers are to be believed reality is a simulation and we're a bunch of npcs every bit as fictional as he is.

If God isn't real and we also aren't real who's to say we can't have a crossover with him down the road BvS style. That's like an npc in Morrowind asking if Molag Bal The King of Rape is real, technically no he's not but neither are you motherfucker so you should still watch out for him.

Bioshock Infinite is a prime example of two things.

>A game that isn't bad, just disappointing
>A game that isn't bad, but receives unwarranted cocksucking to the point of being obnoxious

Half of the shit Bioshock Infinite advertised in gameplay trailers like vast player choice, boss battles with zeppelins, a moral dilemma with Elizabeth's powers hurting her with overuse, free roam, etc. The game is pretty okay, decent story, serviceable shooting, gorgeous art design, but there's still so much it didn't deliver on especially in comparison to earlier entries, gameplay wise

But despite this, you get shit like Cliffy B. simultaneously spitting on Roger Ebert's grave while hailing Bioshock Infinite as "true art" and it's just like... What the hell?

But the shooting was cancer. the way the upgrading works but at the same time forces you to switch weapons constantly because X ammo doesn't exist. So you end up with a non upgraded gun if you are unlucky, but that doesn't matter when you can only use those Vox guns that you have never seen or used before.

Also the enemies are so fucking bulletsponge when at the highest difficulty.

Almost killed myself playing the game.

Why are some gamers so stupid when it comes to art? They always point to games they see as "artistic" (read: pretentious and shit) as an argument as to why games are art. Instead actually thinking about what it means to be art, they just point to games they like or games they think other people will see as deep and artistic and say "those are art."

Also he took a minute and a half to say literally anything about Bioshock Infinite. Whatever happened to valuing your viewer's time?

Critics and normalfags like Bioshock Infinite because all they want is a story game. Single player AAA titles today are essentially just movies. No one notices or cares if the gameplay is mediocre. Same issue with Last of Us.

"In taking the game seriously, I want to be as clear as possible: BioShock Infinite uses racism for no other reason than to make itself seem clever. Worse, it uses racism and real events in an incredibly superficial way—BioShock Infinite seeks not to make any meaningful statement about history or racism or America, but instead seeks to use an aesthetics of ‘racism’ and ‘history’ as a barrier to point to and claim importance. "”

>>342161949
By what merits? Actually construct a unique original argument that is not "THERE'S NO CHOICE IN THE GAME" or "IT'S NOT OPEN WORLD LIKE BIOSHOCK 1"

I have two answers to both of those. The narrative being told does NOT lend the game to be open world, and Ken Levine wants you to think about choice when it's brought up rather than worry about the ACTUAL choice. It's a conscious design decision that was stated in interviews months PRIOR to the game's release

and then you have these fucking idiots arguing that game critics try to "validate themselves" by praising mediocrity and that they're "inferior" to film critics or whatever. You asshats have no idea what you're talking about and have no clue what makes something a genuinely well-made adventure or blockbuster.

Why is The Dark Knight critically acclaimed? Why is Mad Max Fury Road critically acclaimed? Or how about most of Nolan's films? You people act like just because something isn't arthouse, it's not worthy of merit. Bioshock Infinite similar to Inception and Memento are different types of art, you dingbats.

Okay here are the reasons why i dont like it and kind of pisses me off the general praise for this game:

Level design is exremely linear
Weapon upgrades are meaningless stat bonuses
The enemy encounters are generaly easy or bullet sponge
The story is general timetravel-multiverse wich even makes mistakes with itself
The setting even though is somewhat interesting they just dont use it
The Elizabeth companion npc is just a marketing garbage

So its just upsets me that because it has pretty setting and higher end grapichs people love it this much

Infinite proceeded to take an already simplistic "spiritual" downgrade and somehow gut it even further. The hodgepodge of guns, vigors, and platforming only provide a shallow and underdeveloped version of each, and is coupled with the Bioshock series' further removal of true environmental exploration/interaction and character building. All of this stuff is simply "too gamey," and gets in the way of the mostly cinematic (read: has no agency) story.

This is a problem because it makes Infinite less an effective use of its medium than, say, SS1 or 2. Less interaction of any kind, coupled with less challenge, means that there's less of a reason this story couldn't be told as a book or film. By some (admittedly opaque) measure, it's less of a game.

And the gameplay is fucking incredible, wide array of guns with enemies that respond differently to each and thusly reinforce diversity, interesting magical powers, rollercoaster rails, grappling hook, takedowns, Elizabeth's tears that dynamically switch strategies up in midst of battle, immense verticality, lightning fast pace, etc. The game was fun as shit.
>>
>>342163632
Interaction != choice or open world; I don't know where you're getting this from. It's a matter of numbers: the amount of ways to approach a challenge, expand on the mechanics, and just generally interact with everything (even if it's only as the developer intended) are painfully low.

MGS has the opposite problem, by the way. It's a bunch of crazy TECHNOLOGY moments that aren't fine tuned into a structured game design.

For a better example, look at some of the better character action games: you have no choice as far as the (terrible) stories go, but player interaction comes from both deciding what combos to use when, surviving long enough to get good marks, and generally doing better each and every time. Infinite allows for none of this.

You might have a point if critics didn't explicitly treat Infinite like it was the pinnacle of art in video games. Then there's the problem that Infinite doesn't even do the game mechanics well, whereas The Dark Knight and Mad Max got the "mechanics" of film down great.

Besides, MILLIONS OF WEAPONS AND STRATEGIES don't automatically make a game any more a game. I don't understand what the fuck you are saying. Then literally Dark Souls isn't a game because you're basically forced to ONLY slash with a sword and dodge, there are no combos or different tools that give you infinite strategies on how to defeat enemies. You have to use your sword, slash, and evade, slash, and evade, slash, and evade.

Guess Dark Souls isn't really a game since it's not giving you any other powers to use, or giving you a rocket launcher, or giving you dummies like snake.
>>
>>342164679
Dark Souls is not what I'd point out as being all that deep combat-wise, but it certainly has more than B: I. What you have to balance in DS is things like spacing and timing, stuff that isn't so immediate as sword/gunplay.

The choices you cited in your other post are laughable because they don't matter. At the end of the day, avoiding the failstate in Infinite is so piss easy that it doesn't matter what gun or option you use. You'll end up at the ending no matter what, just like Levine wanted. The other games I'm talking about (when taking into account that their failstates are not simply "failing to reach the end") actually require an understanding of their mechanics and systems. That's what true depth is, and the real reason "options" are so valued in a game that gets it right.
>>
>>342164850
Those are story problems, not mechanical ones. The cinematography, acting, pacing, sound design, and special effects are the "mechanics" of those films and are what makes them enjoyable despite their story issues. Compare to Bioshock Infinite where the mechanics are mediocre at best.

There IS nothing to it gameplay wise. The standard for criticism for games nowadays doesn't take into account mechanics or depth, but "immersion" and other vague attempts at analyzing games "artisically."

Story wise is not much different: it has big words and takes itself seriously, so "gamers" who haven't read a book in their lives think it's both intellectually stimulating and emotionally mature. By any other medium's standards, it isn't

Infinite is shitty storywise because there is literally zero nuance.

All Comstocks in all infinite universes are Sky Hitler so its fine to genocide them all. You don't have to worry about potentially wiping out Comstocks that were great people, or the ones that were just neutral and living their lives. And even then the retarded infinite Comstock genocide shit doesn't even work because the DLC nullifies the ending.

And the game never fucking approaches the notion that Liz is a complete fucking psychopath who has no clue how to responsibly use her powers.

And that hilariously god awful retcon of Daisy Fitzroy in the DLC. Holy fucking shit Levine just stop writing. The more you write the worse it gets.
