Games you're playing right now, and my freetime's demise

[NovU]

LoL.

Anyways, couple hours into this game, I am actually liking it. It's not like original "Tomb Raider" but completely different game and this one has its merits. I can see this was an ambitious project. Not perfect but quite enjoyable.

My complaint still stands though. I want short shorts.

[Patr1ck]

Don't worry about that. You get to see penetration in this game.

[Lean]

Well almost. In fact not even almost.

[benji]

Throat penetration by some hard wood.

[SoF'nAwesome]

Penetration & implants, what are you guys doing?

[Lean]

Throat penetration by some hard wood.

I think this is actually a death scene.

Yep.

God of War 3 graphics is absolutely stunning despite the fact that I could barely comprehend/understand/translate what the fuck is going on for the first 10 minutes with all the crazy and huge shit they are throwing at you.

You're in college. You should be used to crazy and huge shit being thrown at your mind by now.

Holy crap. Bioshock Infinite is just...

Here comes sleepless nights. Putting aside Sleeping Dogs and 2K13 for awhile...

[shadowgrin]

Bioshock Infinite is just...

Racist?
Even though I didn't play it I read the plot, didn't impress me.

[NovU]

Are you kidding me? 1.5 hours into the game, I killed only the white men, like 100 of them.

I stayed away from watching too many reviews/trailers(but only glimpse). And I didn't really know anything about the game just like Lara Craft game that I played. This time, payoff came quick, from the get go. Visually astounding. Beautiful world. I am not much of FPS guy but I was instantly sucked into the world. So much interesting details. Gameplay ofc is prototypical good white man kills evil white men FPS. But doing this in such a beautiful world makes for an entirely different experience even for a non-FPS gamer like myself.

I strongly recommend you to pick up this game if you are tired of shooting down zombies who were once white men. Because in this game, you get to shoot down evil white men in a beautiful world.

yes, because racism only counts if the player is the cause of it

[NovU]

That was just a joke(maybe a bad one). But lol. Racism is part of the world/story in the game but the game gets it right.

Visually, I think this is the best game that I've played so far. Everything is in so much details and it makes the world intriguing to explore. Sometimes you will stop just to appreciate the great scenery/animation.

[shadowgrin]

No it doesn't...

An early scene in Bioshock Infinite provides a good litmus test for assholes. You are handed a baseball and told you’ve won a raffle. The prize is the first throw at a public stoning for an Irishman and black woman, and you can choose to throw the ball at the couple, or at the entertainer egging you on. In the end, the choice really shouldn’t be a choice at all, and makes one thing clear: This is a rare video game with a point to make about racism

...anyone with an ounce of decency knows you go after the Irish for they are poor and hatless.


And if it takes a videogame just to show how to 'get it right' with racism, well then...

[benji]

The amazing moral choices of video games. Be an asshole or be a hero! Your choice! So deep! Balls deep in the human condition!

Bioshock Infinite’s racial complexities evolve further when the Vox beginexecuting Columbians and Fitzroy holds a gun to a small white boy’s head, but the point is proven: character isn’t defined by skin colour.

Let’s acknowledge a couple of problems with the game right now. Yes, you are playing as a white guy. He’s a complicated white guy with a troubled past! But he’s a white guy.

I like these two sentences back to back. Thanks, Tyler.

If it makes you guys feel better, I killed 100s of those racist bastards in the game.

Another thing this game got it right was in sexism. Woman actually is extremely helpful despite few naggings and bitchy attitude at times(but tell me one woman that doesn't). Probably the first woman video game character to be actually useful?(god damn it Peach needs Mario's saving all the time) I actually was lost in battle without her.

On less important note, I hope you guys get this game because by far this was the best FPS ever in my entire life, probably in exception of first wolfenstein game on DOS, and Half-Life 1. Visually pleasing(despite no naked chicks), exceptional AI, fun gameplay, just buybuybuy. Happens to be a great treatment for your mental distress as well if you are suffering from post-Lara-Croft-journey syndrome. No short shorts till the end.

o rly?

Woman actually is extremely helpful...

I've heard this to, to the point where this can apply.

....despite few naggings and bitchy attitude at times

and strike one.

but tell me one woman that doesn't

and two.

Probably the first woman video game character to be actually useful?

and three.

Visually pleasing(despite no naked chicks)

You're single, aren't you?

No short shorts till the end.

Can we let Admins 'foe' people please?

Has nothing to do with handling of sexism. It's a simple case of values and survival, iirc... she's your daughter. (FUck, that is a bad spoiler, no clicky people ~Jao)

No question about it and I think it is even though I haven't played the game yet but I don't get people thinking it's a balls deep social commentary of a game just because it tackles racism the same way a five year old juggles a chainsaw.

I don't even mind the racism in the game, but what lets me down is the story.
Like I said I read the plot and I find the conclusion disappointing.
After all what happened in the story they have to resort to that just to explain and tie shite together.

[JaoSming]

Yep, I did not mean to click that, clicking over from a Steam chat. Fuck.

[shadowgrin]

What, I used spoiler tags. It's not on me!

[NovU]

Wow... grin. You fucked up real good. I don't even watch trailers that much on games/movies I really want to enjoy to the fullest. I HOPE YOU ARE HAPPY NOW!!! Might as well just stop play.

Lol, Jao. My humour code seems to always annoy you, A lot. Not sure if I can't tone it down a bit but will try. Just promise me you won't Bieberize me.

[formx]

My humour

Stop please. You not funny.
