marmotwolof, I'm pretty sure the game doesn't actually endorse Objectivism and Atlas Shruggery. The proponent of it in the game is the villain, isn't he?

Dudes, I am here to tell you that this game is freaking incredible. Except I was playing it with my gf last night and she got so freaked out by it I had to turn it off.

Something to do with the horrible doomed mutant souls walking around talking about how lonely they are, and god how they just want to meet someone and end their terrible loneliness, and then they attack you and how have to brain them with a wrench. Or the mothers looking desperately for their babies, who have become little flesh-collecting demons.

I think I'm about halfway through now. This game gets hella difficult around the midway point. The stealth stuff drives me bananas. And there's a little too many retrieval-style missions. But this game is fascinating and super fun and crazy imaginative and is the best-looking and best-sounding game I've ever seen.
First time through I'm going without killing the Little Sisters. The way they cry over the Big Daddies after you take one out was just too much. Anyone doing it the other way? Does that make it way way easier? How does it affect the story?

The hacking mini-game is annoying (and I'm crap at it, so far). And there's too much fucking stuff to pick up and look for - but you have to keep looking 'cause it seems like you often can only pick up one bullet at a time. Other than that I'm liking the game fine so far (about two hours in, I guess), but I've yet to have my socks knocked off...

all it really takes to blow the gaming world hivemind is to make a first person shooter not set in ww2 or in the future pitted against an alien race in a struggle for survival etc etc. the game is getting better as i go on--the attack in the dentist's office was pretty nice.

OK this is seriously great now...
need to sit with it a little while and let it get deep...
but standouts for me at the moment:
i. meeting your first little sister ii. when you pick up the shotgun and all the lights go out and lots of splics come running after you iii. another bit when you're looking for the telekinesis/doctor in the dentist and you walk round this corner and music starts... and you walk round the corner so slowly even though there's NOTHING THERE!
the music is so awesome throughout, as well... it as if THE CARETAKER made a videogame!!!

I got a loaner 360 from a friend while mine is in the shop, so, playing.
Bioshock is the first game that lets me combine the power of fire & bees into flaming bees. This is totally worth the price of admission on its own, especially when the application of said flaming bees makes the enemies scream "Fire AND Bees? That's just not FAIR!"
― Matt D, Friday, 24 August 2007 12:50 (sixteen years ago) link
How do you do that? Set the bees on fire when they're in midair?
So who's killing the Little Sisters and who's not?
― antexit, Friday, 24 August 2007 13:48 (sixteen years ago) link
I havn't tried that yet - the splicer just happened to be covered in bees, and I added fire, for hilarity. The bees do have the unfortunate habit of attacking anything and everything nearby, so be careful around Big Daddies.
I have been saving the little sisters myself. The ADAM reward is substantially less in the short term but there have been some interesting unique rewards to make up for it.

I made it about 3/4 of the way through on the second play before just giving up. I was playing on Hard and the fight against the Handyman was so impossible it just became extremely un-fun.
'Storyline' in this was fun to think about for about the first 2 hours of my second playthrough, but the more I thought about it, the less appealing it was, and the more icky it felt. Plus in all the interviews w Levine I could read, he never had a good answer for why the racist stuff other than "This is how the world was in 1912". Yet you never read about all the floating cities and robot presidents in history books. So this guy, who SOLD HIS OWN DAUGHTER, turns evil because he is later baptized? It wasn't the massacre in Wounded Knee and it wasn't SELLING HIS OWN DAUGHTER, it was being baptized. Right.
I guess this stuff is probably touched upon in the DLC but count me out.
― Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Wednesday, 19 March 2014 23:47 (ten years ago) link
i completely agree. what if it had been an open-world, undirected myst-style thing where you just wander around and put clues together and then maybe break into the tower with some sierraesque inventory puzzle and maybe occasionally you shoot some dudes? right? "not being call of duty" isn't enough.
i just started playing this because it is free on xbox gold and this so expresses my disappointment about an hour or so in. such a beautiful world, wish i could stop being shot at by dudes so i could enjoy it.

That's ironic because there is no story at all this game is telling. The plot is a kind of an aimless bait-and-switch of a bunch of topical high concepts smooshed together through clever but sloppy writing and used to disguise a dull shooter as something which could have been so much deeper. It's the dumbest "thinking person's game" ever.
― ©Oz Quiz© (Adam Bruneau), Saturday, 21 March 2015 19:34 (nine years ago) link
The idea that without the shooting this could have been something amazing is utterly absurd but I am sure it sold a lot to people that think Call of Duty is for idiots.
― ©Oz Quiz© (Adam Bruneau), Saturday, 21 March 2015 19:35 (nine years ago) link
well it's boring the piss out of me, and if there's no story there then i don't know if i can be bothered to play much further.
