Bioshock Infinite

[AaronChance]

Infinite doesn't do the illusion of choice because there is no illusion. It's obvious from the start these 'choices' are completely meaningless, and instead of being there to drive home the point of a larger narrative, they exist as vestigial remnants of Bioshock Infinite as it was originally planned and presented.

I knew almost nothing about this game when I started it up and I feel the same way.

Has any game delivered what the Fables and Bioshocks promise better than Deus Ex 1?

I loved this game. probably my fave shooter this year(halo4 was boring).
The racism and classism of Columbia wasnt nearly as bad as i thought it would be. i mean it was there and pretty damn accurate to the way things where. but it wasnt has violent as it was. i mean, the couple in the raffle, they would have just been lynched. the only real issue i had was the lackluster gear, and the sorry excuse for upgrades your guns got. and the vigor upgrades were damn expensive to get. other than that, its awesome. I started calling Fitzroy, Peaches after the Nina Simone song.Wish they did more with her. And even though the vox was doing as bad if not worse shit than the fink and comstock people, i still wasnt as mad as them because i understood exactly where all that violence came from.Oppresion does that

No, Deus Ex is still the best ever.

Probably some Eurojank RPG that crashes every five minutes and has combat like The Witcher On Ice.

Ed probably knows the title of a game actually just like that.

There were several occasions for choice. Throwing the baseball, the necklace, killing slade, stealing things or not. But none of them made a tangible difference on how the story unfolded. They were all variables, the story itself is a constant. Hence the illusion of choice when there never really was one

If you ask the teller for a ticket you get a bloody bandage on your hand for the rest of the game.

If I get this right you guys basically are claiming the game deliberately sucks and thats why it's so awesome.
It is linear and crap to make a point.

Got it, it's still shit though.

They're not wrong. The Lucetes are constantly making you make pointless choices to determine your outcome. You have gone through the game 122 times and died every time before this game takes place, according to the coin flip tally at the start of the game.

OK so its linear shit, thanks for confirming.
