oh that was everyone
But yeah the main issue with BioShock is that there's no cause that leads to the effect the player runs into
It's just the usual "no goberment = one dude will murder everyone in the area and they'll be unable to stop him because he has one gun" shit
the rambo effect
You're just talking about the gameplay, right Beemann?
Narrative
The gameplay of BioShock is like... Generic Xbox shooter. It's slow but passable, carries some vestigial elements of better games but doesn't make good enough use of them
Tbh BioShock probably would have worked better with the formula of Condemned
Did you play it on PC or XBox?
I've done both
Have you played System Shock or System Shock 2?
I bounced off of SS2. I played SS a couple years back and it's great
You bounced off of SS2?
Yeah. It's quite slow and I wasn't getting into the narrative or setting enough to make up for that
There's a lot of extra shit that slows down the game more, and your spec means large chunks of gameplay are just locked off in a way that doesn't feel terribly necessary, at least near the start
SS can be pretty obtuse, but at least the core gameplay mechanics respect your time
Also why I didn't care about the reboot, fwiw
I don't remember a time limit in System Shock 2 but I played it a while a ago.
Not a time limit, there's just a lot of bloat
Like SS1 has a lot of features, but none of them are "stay here and balance all these vats of chemicals" or "you didn't level up guns enough so fuck this loot". They're all part of the core thing you're doing as you progress
Or selectively breaking shit at least
looks like The Verge deleted that awful PC building vid
only after they got those sweet CapitalOne shekels i'm sure
the guy also deleted the tweets deriding the critics
Maybe those critics sent messages to Capital One and let them know how those they sponsored were acting and how that behavior clearly reflected the values of Capital One as a company.
lol they removed the video
looks like the article is still up https://www.theverge.com/2018/9/13/17828092/gaming-pc-build-custom-how-to-asus-intel-geforce-cost
Some old horror comics, a genre wiped out in comics by *Comics Code Authority*
These stories were printed in the fifties, & they are still surprisingly gruesome.
arent those the ones that created the creepy pasta genre of movies?
I am not sure what that means...
you never heard of the creepy pasta genre?
the begining of the slasher films?
Okay, slashers I have a better Idea of. My creepy pasta knowledge tallies some Slenderman stuff & that is.
nah
lol
well,that modern stuff
talking 60s early 70s
where they just went with urban legends and starting making slasher films
Does anyone have the link to the video where they swapped trump and clinton's lines?
