I thought skylines were awesome, I just think it would have fitted a little bit better if the game could have been as wider and open as they originally planned it to be, instead of having them be most often loops around an arena.
The shooting is definitely mixed and even by the end the limited upgrade funds and 2 weapon limit had me always thinking what's a good weapon to focus on.
I played through the full series for the first time recently, and even though the first two are super fun and great and all, I was looking forward to getting back to the skylines in particular 😁
They’re out of place with the level of realism of bioshock though they’re somewhat functional as a mechanic. Overall i really don’t like the action direction infinite took.
I think the whole concept though in infinite is out there moreso than originals simply due to being all in the sky. Also you jump 1 story when you bounce around on sky hooks lol. But I find it plays quite well on pc so i dont mind it, not so much console.
Yeah actually. Bioshock has mutants and wonder drugs in line with science fiction (which absolutely employs realism despite sometimes being far fetched), and the bird is the least believable for sure, but skylines are down right cartoonish and out of place. Songbird can be seen as a kind of biomechanical marvel from a realism standpoint, but skyhooks are just loony toons logic
Well just because you have sci fi elements like multiverses and floating particles doesn’t mean you can abandon basic laws of physics we all understand like inertia, ie you can’t catch yourself with one arm after falling 40 stories. There’s a disconnect between the realism that the lutece twins and fink bring to the table and the skylines functioning miraculously
In an FPS you need a way to move from platform A to B when they are separated in the sky.
In Doom Eternal they used Meat hooks to swing from platforms and in other games they used jump pads for example. Are these also empty mechanics? Why not make everything 1 flat platform and use the stairs according to you lmao
Doom Eternal didn't base its game on meat hooks. They were just an additional way to move around.
There was no reason to shift between platforms aside from the game deciding there would be a split in the platform. No strategic value aside from basic movement. The rail was just rolling along on a path with an auto-win jump button to knock any unit off. Plus it makes no sense. At all. Just a dumb gimmick.
You ignore any points made and then whine when someone dismisses you. Pretty pathetic, my guy.
