Xiphias I'm surprised this wasn't submitted ages ago!

Pandatronic      Five stars for Art-Deco Randroid Utopia. This game had better not suck.
|
|
Xiphias You have been subliminally programmed to reject video input.
|
Millard     You never actually get to attack the little girls, despite the trailer. After you beat a Big Daddy, you're given a choice as to whether or not you want to "harvest" or "rescue" them. Harvesting does kill them, but it happens offscreen, while rescuing them turns them into real little girls again.
|
Xiphias That's 1,000,000 times creepier than just killing them or leaving them alone.
|
Endoris      BEES!
|
Rafiki     I went to look at a preview:
"To get [in-game currency], you need to track down a Little Sister and either take [her] by force or bribe her with delicious lolly pops to persuade her to give you some. "
And the giant robots are there to "protect" the girls and they're called "Big Daddy." This game is so fucked up.
-1 for stopping a giant drill with your bare hand and watching it bore through :(
|
Pandatronic And the little girls call the Big Daddies "Mr. Bubbles". And the little girls drink the blood of the dead to process it into usable stem cells that can be used to alter the body. And the giant robots are actually horribly mutated people that hide their disfigurement by wearing diving suits.

zatojones      That was way creepy
|
erracity      BEEES!

Wow, this really is what would happen if Donald Trump and Howard Hughes teamed up and built a city underwater.
|
eatenmyeyes      Alitheia should sue these people and lose.
|
Merzbau      Holy shit that is fucked-up. I wouldn't expect any less from the System Shock people, though...
|
Caminante Nocturno     Not entirely sure how to react to some parts of this video. That earns it at least four stars.
|
theSnake      Rockin. Will it come out for PC?
|
Merzbau Yup, though I'm terrified of the system requirements.
|
revdrew      YES PEOPLE, YOU CAN KILL CHILDREN IN THIS GAME! LET US MAKE A POINT OF THAT OVER AND OVER AND OVER.
Even if the killing is done off screen, I really can't imagine a media shit storm not happening over this.
|
Xiphias Untwist your panties and realize that most of us are pro-bioshock, I think. I personally have the game on pre-order, but that doesn't mean I can't say it's creepy as fuck.
|
revdrew Actually, I was referring to the fact that the developers keep bringing it up. In every interview, and every preview. Not that I have a problem with the child slaughtering, as much as I am tired of hearing about it. I'm very much looking forward to playing this.
|
Ahriman the Creepy Lurker      Jesus fuck, who the hell greenlighted this one?
|
Merzbau Actually market research indicated that the biggest selling points for games among the 18-25 demographic are diving helmets, child murder and "Atlas Shrugged."
Seriously though the idea of a video game set in the inevitable crumbling failure of a Randian society gives me the warm fuzzies.
|
Adramelech      I always knew Henry Darger was secretly developing a video game via time machine.
|
|
kingarthur      what?
|
Gill_Sans      L-l-l-ook at you, hacker: a pathetic creature of meat and bone, panting and sweating as you run through my corridors. How can you challenge a perfect, immortal machine?
|
FABIO2 Bee attack: +2 vs Nicholas Cage.
|
FABIO2 Also, two men fight over which object should be used on little girls: blunt smacking or penetration. Of course, penetration and "big daddy" win.
|
VorpalGuy      Is not a man entitled to the fruits of his labor? :D
|
oogaBooga    This game took a dump in my mouth. Only fun thing about it was the bolt gun with the electrified wire. Youd think a game where you shoot bees at your enemies would be fun, wouldn't you?
