Also, the notion of "Extra Sweet" Caramels does actually intrigue me.

Could caramels truly be more sweet?

wtf is wrong with that guys neck?

What's wrong with her legs? Is she on stilts?

Sounds like a calliope to me. So unless it was being played by some faggot in a waistcoat, top hat, and some sort of ridiculous/ useless monocle/goggle/eye-patch thing we can stick to steam powered, not punk.

Oh, who am I kidding. In this game, it probably was.

It's a calliope to me. Sounds like the steamboat on the river in NOLA.

See that little faggot in the waistcoat and the top hat
Yeah buddy, that's his own 'do
That little faggot got his own goggle eye-patch thing
That little faggot got a monocle too

We gotta install coal-fired ovens
Custom scullery deliveries
We gotta move these kerosene refrigerators
We gotta move these calliopes

holy shit, nice job guys

bravo.

I didn't even watch the video but holy shit, well done

You popped my monocle!

yeah this was a real critical takedown, i don't think i'll ever be able to play video games the same way again

That's it. I'm going back to The Bible.

Although I haven't played (and have no desire to play) this game, I can understand the rage at the most expensive, most highly advertised games getting the most praise. How Red Dead Redemption, a real-time talking-while-riding-horses simulator, got the universal glowing praise it did just baffles me.

What?!! Gaming journalism isn't actual criticism at all, merely a ploy to get free games in the mail and t-shirts with the names of the games on them?

WHY I NEVER GET OUT OF MY OFFICE I SAID GOOD DAY SIR

Both sides of any camp are too fucking worked up about this amusement product. The same story in book or movie form would be ignored at worst, not actively hated and oh god, you better hate it too or all sputter and sputter and...sputter. Boycott Levin forever amen!

Dude, it's a fun game and the turbonerds getting mad that 10/10 doesn't literally mean a game is flawless and perfect need to relax.

Basically the turbonerd argument. There's a huge amount of valid criticism to posit about this game, but sperging over repeating animations and shit for something that you're only supposed to be around for

15 seconds is downright comical.

Apparently using a less than symbol and 15 breaks something?

Let's try. A B C

Wow, that bunched up a lot of folks' panties. Sorry, but t just isn't a very good game. The story is pretty good, but the gameplay is repetitive and predictable, especially if you played Bioshock 1, of which it is a near carbon copy.

Did it bunch panties? Did it?

Yup.

I see a good 3 to 1 sarcastic agreement ratio.

I'm not gonna lie, I mostly submitted this because I knew it would causes a huge shitstorm in the comments.

Five go to Cognitivedissonance and his conversion to the bible.

I can't imagine what kind of sad wiener gets excited to see people hate the same stupid stuff they hate.

Did I say excited? Nope. I'll help you imagine the type of person who feels glad when someone shares their opinion about something. He's called Everyone In The Entire World.

Relax, guy. We all know how much you hate it now and that is super cool. You probably hated it before it even came out! And it doesn't get any cooler than that.

Ah, the "U MAD" gambit. Well played, sir, but I would posit that it is in fact U who is mad.

Don't misinterpret my "relax" as a "u mad", as convenient as it may be for you to just assume I'm from the Internet Debate Team. You wanted to make sure everyone on POETV knows how much you hate this game, and how happy you are to see other people who hate it. So you guys can talk about how much it sucks and is stupid. Actually, scroll down a bit and you may find yourself a totally cool bud in zerdzer (as long as you've played the System Shock series which, duh, of course you have!).

I'm just reassuring you that I understand how much you hate it and that it makes you a super cool guy. We all know that every Internet discussion of popular games needs at least one That Guy, and I think we're all in agreement here that you're the Alpha That Guy.

It's funny. This isn't the first time you've attacked me on this site by trying to characterize me as some angry nerd for expressing my opinion about a video game. So I guess if you wanna be that guy who follows me around and does that, more power to you. My fault for feeding you, I guess.

This thread is like God calling you up and telling you you've won ALL the lotteries.

This thread is like magic, only a special kind of magic that is what elves spread on their cupcakes.

This thread is so beautiful.

It really is.

I contend BioShock Infinite is a thoroughly mediocre game with a poorly written story.

wow bad typing!

No, I'd rather they stop trying to make games prettier for a while and try to make them more engaging and interesting. Bioshock had more going for it from a shooting/strategy standpoint. You were fighting mutated drug addicts and hunting Big Daddies.

This one, you get Handymen attacking you whenever. The people decide to attack you suicidally because... religion? Really? And Booker feels SO bad about Wounded Knee that he has to cap at least ten people to get over it.

It's pretty, but it's closer to being a steampunk Call of Duty than being a game that has a good story to go with all the shooty stuff.

They promised a game about racism and American Exceptionalism and then they threw it all away in favor of their Dr. Who fanfiction, complete with fourth-wall-breaking Mary and Gary Sue characters.

Also they accidentally portrayed the racists as absolutely correct, because once you empower the blacks and irish and give them weapons they become violent child-killers that you have to slaughter by the hundreds.

I thought the story was decent for a game where your means of communication with the world are a shotgun to the face or a murder of eyeball eating crows.

I probably didn't gain any new particular insights into the nature of racism, so I can see how if that's what you were expecting you would be disappointed.

So video games are just now catching up to Disney circa 1991.

What I'm trying to say is this game hasn't been discounted below .99 at all on Steam yet so if you've already played it you may well be categorized.

"People don't have real good taste." suck on that hot piece of cultural criticism, Chomsky

if people had real good taste, games like this wouldn't waste everybody's time so much if people had real good taste, games like this wouldn't waste everybody's time so much if people had real good taste, games like this wouldn't waste everybody's time so much if people had real good taste, games like this wouldn't waste everybody's time so much if people had real good taste, games like this wouldn't waste everybody's time so much

zerdzer, I don't spend a lot of time around these parts anymore, but from what I can gather, you post mostly about video games and are always wrong. How high is your bmi, approximately?

hahaha, i'd be salty if my mouth had the taste of shit in it all the time, too



but faux real: you can call me wrong all you want but until you express your opinion and substantiate it, you're not much more than a rabid reactionary fanboy. if you played the system shock series at all you'd probably know why people don't like bioshock infinite, it's been dumbed down to all hell. it's basically designed to sell to trogs who have no taste. same as most games involved with large publishers these days. they just want your lunch money, kiddo

I played a game once where I was Batman. At one point, he has to pick up a shit ton of question marks like some sort of ninja garbageman.

In the amount of time it takes for Batman to pick up those question marks you could literally watch the entire fucking ring cycle. You could watch all fucking four operas in the ring cycle, literally the longest fucking opera ever written, in the time that you fucking wasted picking up those question marks.

Fuck developers that do that shit.

haha, kill yourself

It's not so much dumbed down as a really compelling 3-D remake of Mega Man.

Zerdzer you sound fat as fuck,

it's basically designed to sell to trogs who have no taste. same as most games involved with large publishers these days.it's basically designed to sell to trogs who have no taste. same as most games involved with large publishers these days.it's basically designed to sell to trogs who have no taste. same as most games involved with large publishers these days.

This dude is such a lanyard.

:)

My opinion is that you are pretty fat, and I substantiate it by my understanding of how fat you are. Careful not to let your glasses slip too far down your nose as you frantically reply to this post, the clatter of keyboard keys interrupted only by the slurped strawfuls of Mountain Dew: Game Fuel and the crunching of Sweet and Spicy Doritos.

Duh System Shock 2. Duh ignorant plebs. Dur Call of Duty. Doop fanboys publishers EA EA EA EA fart

This game was fun. I enjoyed it. Your not enjoying a video game is not an indication of sophistication, fatty.
