Bioshock interview @TTLG

Morgoth

Whatever happened to action-RPG FPS games, anyway? The popularity of System Shock and Deus Ex should have yielded a slew of imitators that last to today. But the last one (and only that I know of, not counting its predescessor) we got was Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines. The Deus Ex sequel dropped the RPG elements, and I'd bet Bioshock has too.

 

I think both System Shock 2 and Deus Ex were big commercial failures.

The wrench is your friend. :bat:

There was Project: Snowblind, we got hacking and stuff to normal fps'. I didn't notice anything else happening to the genre. A shame, really.

Project: Snowblind was a Deus Ex multiplayer only sequel that dropped the Deus Ex connections after fan protest. hah

I just thought to drop in and post some scores Bioshock received....not that the high praise arouses any surprise.

 

Eurogamer 10/10

Gameinformer 10/10

Games Radar 10/10

 

Other confirmed scores:

 

PC Gamer UK: 95%

OXM UK: 10/10

Alternative Press: 5/5

PC Zone: 96%

Gamer.tv: 5/5

 

But we all know how dirty game journalism works so there might STILL BE A CHANCE THAT THE GAME WILL SUCK!!11!one! lol

Rain makes everything better.

Giving a game a perfect score always raise my concerns. There is no such thing as the perfect game for the creators of the game are always imperfect beings.

Murphy's Law of Computer Gaming: The listed minimum specifications written on the box by the publisher are not the minimum specifications of the game set by the developer.

Joseph Bulock - "Another headache, courtesy of Sand"

Perfect score doesn't mean "perfect game." It just means "perfect enough."

 

Like Milla Jovovich.

A game that earns a 10 doesn't have to be flawless. It's just the bad is overshadowed by the good. And when it's this much good, the bad is hardly noticable.

Define "perfect".

Yes.

Sweet. Steam has Bioshock available for pre-purchase and it has the PC system requirements. I exceed the minimum!

yeah so do I =]

You can die.

Absolutely no flaws whatsoever and that everyone who plays it absolutely loves it without reservation.

If that's what is required for a 10/10, no game should make it past 7/10.

"Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

It looks like there isn't going to be a PC limited edition of Bioshock. That's kind of dissapointing.

That is prbably why I would never give a game a perfect score.

That is prbably why I would never give a game a reasonable score.

 

10/10 isn't meant to say a game is "perfect." It's like 5 stars! 2 thumbs up!

What do you mean? I already preordered it.

Someone told me it's been delisted because it's sold out. So, that's what I mean! It's no longer even listed on Gamestop/EB.

"Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

Oh, that's just if you haven't preordered. And just in the States.

 

I'm still gonna get my baby... :wub:

The better reason why you would never give a game a perfect score is that you would never play it.
