all the trailers have been so chaotic, explosions everywhere, big guns. hopefully that's just the shit that looks exciting in a trailer and not what the majority of the game is like.

reviews falling all over themselves to slobber ken levine's dick here. as long as it's an attractive shooter with enough "trenchant social commentary" to counterbalance all the right wing islamophobe modern warfare stuff i'll be happy.

Turns out I preordered this in August or something then forgot all about it until I got the message today saying it'd been dispatched. But I'm away from home for the next 2 weeks bah.

Lowest score on Metacritic so far is an 80.

the first one was entertaining and involving enough but was not exactly fashion forward as a shooter. if this one is about the same that's worth it to me.

I will probably rather enjoy this. I love the art design, and my first job was as a dude in a historical American village set between 1865-1914.

ken levine has a copy of devil in the white city, access to google, a thing for toddler-women with dewy eyes and huge tits who are based off his ex-girlfriend, and now he even has an AAA game about skyracists to show for it.

“I’ve had the experience of knowing a girl once, dating her once actually, who had been with somebody who had abused her before. All the clichés you hear about are true. She would say that this guy had pushed her down the stairs when she was pregnant, that he had made her kneel in glass… all these unspeakably horrible things. Then she would make excuses for him, all the time. I knew the entire time that we were dating that she would go back to him. I could just see it. It was this tragic thing happening in real-time. And she did go back to him.”

lol what are you talking about you psycho. im making fun of ken levine, not you. i cant think of any other ilx subboard where it's consistently seen as a personal insult to not like something... unless things are a lot more heated in the Mark McGrath Cruise thread than I remembered

i gotta go to bed but the first 90 mins at least are pretty good. is def a fps but the killin dudes is more fun than bioshock 1.
― adam, Tuesday, 26 March 2013 05:30 (eleven years ago) link
thats encouraging. i quit bioshock after like 90 minutes because of how boring the combat was

This is pretty great so far. Combat is super fun, especially with the skyhooks.

If you're playing on PC, the mouse sensitivity tweak here is extremely helpful:http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/03/27/bioshock-infinite-tweaks/
It seems to makes it much less twitchy; I think it's adjusting it so you can move the mouse in smaller increments for smoother aiming.

hmmmmm. did the 60 minute trial, not sure what i think. the combat feels wrong a little bit. also dan, i take back what i said, the aiming in this (on console at least) is kind of a nightmare. the baseball throwing scene is kind of shocking, but not i think in a good way. world is interesting but awfully busy, chatty cathy main character seems like a problem, and the kinetescopes are super lame when compared to similar things ive seen in older games (both fallouts fuck even singularity).
