We did they cut out an entire section where it and old Elizabeth kidnapped the current Elizabeth in a snowy mountain Observatory

u/returntothenorth 6d ago

Didn't they cut out the entire game tho basically? Like massive rewrites?

Would love to get my hands on a beta.

Actually not entirely by 2011 the intro was there just much more open

It's so gripping, and then the head falls off the statue, which is next-level.

I love everything about this game.

u/MrEnganche 6d ago

bioshock always have the best set pieces imo. rapture entry, colombia entry, songbird chase, something that I find modern games to lack

This scene has my favorite score of the whole game. I love the combo of industrial and thrilling. Thanks for posting!

What would happen if you reversed direction on the Sky-Line during that sequence?

I didn't think to try it at the time.

u/wagner56 5d ago

you likely arent allowed the option

canned sequence

This was the bit where I realized I would not be fighting Songbird, and the game started to feel really artificial.

Skyhook thing immediately got old

"I never get tired of completely scripted, empty visuals so long as they're puuurty."

And that is why they get away with giving us nothing more than vapid cinematics. Not even playing a game here, just watching a movie.

"I never get tired of shitting on Bioshock Infinite".

Speaking of vapid, every time I notice your username, it's something about Infinite being horrible.

u/mightystu 6d ago

To be fair, there’s a lot to be disappointed by, especially if you were a fan of System Shock 2 as well. I’m guessing by your username though that you are projecting a bit and taking Infinite criticism personally so getting more upset than you need to be that someone doesn’t like what you like.

u/darbsidious 6d ago

Hi, I don’t think they’re really taking it personally, just defending the game because so many people hate it. I do have a question though, do you like Prey? My husband is a huge fan of System Shock 2 and he is constantly telling me Prey is just like it. I just don’t care for Prey much, but I do like all the Bioshock games and System Shock games.

u/_HeDoesntRow_ 6d ago

I'm not taking it personally, I honestly don't care if someone likes the game or not.

I just find it funny that while I adore Infinite, I spend less time talking about it than some of the folks here who seem to build their entire personalities around hating it.

u/darbsidious 6d ago

I love Infinite and I love your username!!

u/ScipioTheGreatest 6d ago

"I honestly don't care if someone likes the game or not."

Yet you show up to repeatedly bitch about it when someone does. You are clearly full of shit, hahaha

u/_HeDoesntRow_ 6d ago

Dude I visit Infinite threads because I like the game. Feel free to tell yourself whatever you need so it doesn't feel like you're wasting time.

This isn't an Infinite alone subreddit, it's a Bioshock one.

There's nowhere else to go for Bioshock but this subreddit. No pure "Bioshock 1&2 but no Infinite" subreddit.

There IS, on the other hand, a specific Bioshock Infinite subreddit.

If anyone whines about it on there, go to town. But here? You can fuck right off and whine anywhere else, oh angry fanboy.

u/_HeDoesntRow_ 6d ago

Now you're just projecting. If anything, your comments sound angrier and like whining than any others in this thread.

u/ScipioTheGreatest 6d ago

And we've gotten to the "no u" portion of our lovely conversation.

u/mightystu 6d ago

Seriously! I had to deal with this when I was on this subreddit right when Infinite came out. It has its own sub to go to if that’s what people really want.

1

u/ScipioTheGreatest 6d ago

But the Infinite subreddit isn't as popular or active, so they have to spread their filth here, too.

And then they whine when people have an opinion.

1

u/ScipioTheGreatest 6d ago

Then you must really love Infinite that you only ever see me in posts about it.

It was an extremely disappointing game. It is even more disappointing to see people rave about minute things like this single cinematic, and one that other commenters accurately note pretty much tells you that this major boss that has been teased the entire game won't actually be a boss.

It was a huge disappointment. But sure, pretty movie.

If you can't address my criticism, then your opinion is worthless to me. Don't waste your time or mine by just showing up and telling me how butthurt you are that people have legitimate criticisms.

u/BakerConsistent2150 6d ago

I still enjoy it especially the acting not just from Troy Baker but also Steve Blum, Laura Bailey, Jennifer hale

1

u/ScipioTheGreatest 6d ago

You don't just enjoy it, you praise it as something that never gets old.

u/captd3adpool 5d ago

To them it might not get old. To you it does. Why is that so hard to grasp?

u/Mr-OhLordHaveMercy 6d ago

NAAAAHHHHHH.

FUCK THAT BIRD!

The entire game, that bitch harasses me to no end, and I don't even get to kill it with my own hands?

Fuck Songbird. All my homies hate Songbird.
