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

Also, imdb lists him as the voice of the Circus of Value clown, which I did not know.

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

yeah i hit the first big skyhook combat sequence last night, super fun.

Maybe not so much AtD but plenty of Tom Swift

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).

hoping the story background falls back some as you get further into the game.

So I started out trying to put down some more detailed thoughts on the game so far but really all you need to know is ROLLYCOASTERS WHEEEEEE.
― muus lääv? :D muus dut :( (Telephone thing), Saturday, 30 March 2013 02:19 (eleven years ago) link
man i really liked this game but i feel like i murdered a whole lot of dudes. seems like there's a better way to tell that story without the slaughter? or i'm just fucking old.
― adam, Tuesday, 2 April 2013 18:01 (eleven years ago) link
i guess that's the critical refrain of 2013 so far--"why can't we tell this story/make this game/etc without wholesale slaughter?" a la tomb raider, even far cry.
i like that in ni no kuni they make a point of telling you that you're only knocking the monsters out, and they get up later and don't attack humans anymore. which is nice unless humans are these monsters' only food source and now they all starve to death :(
― adam, Tuesday, 2 April 2013 18:03 (eleven years ago) link
i played the first hour of this last night, it's pretty but i'm still hoping the fun gameplay will kick in soon. it's hard after playing lots of Far Cry, i keep trying to aim with the left trigger and accidentally using powers.
i got to the first robot guy who shoots flames at you and used 'possession' on him. he kept shooting flames at me, so i shot at him and the game popped up a message saying "don't shoot your allies!". then he killed me.

One could argue that one of the greatest legacies of American history is intense violence. It could be argued to be “on message” as much as anything else in the game. Americans are always given a censored version of history and violence, leading right up to the current wars in the present.
