Why does Reddit hate it so much?
They got stuck at the puzzle
Didn't live up to BioshockSorta bland by it's own rights
Because it says black anarchists who are fighting for better worker's conditions are just as bad as theocratic fascists (they are)
It sucked gameplay wise
>>737220028It's a poorly written game that:1. Has a two weapon limit.2. Hacking was removed (now you can only temporarily control turrets and vending machines).3. You can no longer save any time you want.4. Burial at Sea burns the lore of the original BioShock to the ground because Levine was a whiny bitch.
>>737220028Reddit hates it and it sucks, two things can be true at once
Invoking outside sites should be a permanent ban at the device level with the ban page linking to said site.
>>737222882Your phone should be equipped to detect hormones within the oil of your fingerprints so it can lock you off the internet for pedotroonery.
>>737220028They think that it's bad and racist to see the oppressed rising up and brutally massacring everyone without remorse as a bad thing.
>>737220028Take 5 minutes watching the old gameplay trailers and compare it to the actual game.
>>737220028I hate it. it's so much worse than the other 2 Bioshocks.even the visuals are worse. the whole tone and look of the game got heavily downgraded during development.
>>737220028It was never good but I guess we've crossed over in to that being a mainstream enough opinion that now it's /v/'s responsibility to pretend it was good.
>>737220028also timetravel, time loops and alt timelines are fucking terrible writing tropes.any time they're tacked on to an existing story they fucking incinerate it beyond repair.
Art direction and production value was superb. Game itself was braindead.
>>737224000FUCK OFFIt was just a fucking concept you faggot. Get the fuck over it its been like 14 years.
>>737220028It feels like a game that could've come out today
Why was Suchong's English proficency so much worse in Burial at Sea than in BioShock despite the audio recordings being all recorded around the same time period in-game?From BioShock 1:Plasmids are the Paint:>Tenenbaum… sometimes I pity the little freak. Such a tiny imagination… Content to sit there with her tanks of ADAM, tweaking and optimizing. I need to create… ADAM is a canvas of genetic modification… but Plasmids are the paint.Mind Control Antidote:>Fontaine's become some kind of boogeyman in Rapture, that myth gives him power. But peel back flim-flam and the humbug, he's just another con man. And like all con men, he worries he'll end up on the wrong side of grift. That's why he commissioned Lot 192 -- the antidote to the mental control Plasmid. Fontaine said I better not tell anybody about the antidote, not even Tenenbaum. And Suchong is inclined to listen.From Burial at Sea:Offer of Employment:>When Ryan take over Fontaine Futuristics, scene of terrible violence. Splicers burning each other to bits. Lucky ones not killed, sent to department store prison instead. Suchong think he dead man, too… But then, Ryan comes to Suchong and says, "Suchong want to be buried in filthy store? Or Suchong want to make good salary, work for Ryan?" "How much salary?" ask Suchong. This Ryan find very funny.Observation #17:>Observation #17 regarding unknown phenomena. Phenomena presents as odd shimmer, through which is observed … what? Men in strange hats. Women in large dresses. Buildings that float. Is phenomena window to other space? Other time? What was it Einstein said? "The only reason for time is so not everything happen at once."
Any chances the original vision(s) for this game were more in line with a real Shock game and would have been deeper than narrative two gun fps storyslop?
>>737224260it was a literal "gameplay" trailer faggot...
1958-09-12:>On the success of Sullivan's investigations of Rapture's smuggling ring, and following Ryan's orders, Fontaine is ordered arrested and his criminal operation shut down. Fontaine resists, resulting in a major firefight at Fontaine's front business Fontaine Fisheries. A full assault is launched by Ryan Security, and Frank Fontaine fakes his own death in the mayhem that ensued.Shortly following this, "Ryan Takes F Futuristics" is recorded.>Ryan nationalized Fontaine Futuristics -- he owns it now, lock, stock and barrel. For the good of the city, he says. He'll break it up in due time, he says. I've resigned from the Council and lodged me letter of protest, but that's just pissing in the wind. It'll be war, I say… unless somebody stops Ryan, and right fast.Suchong apparently doesn't know Fontaine is alive (Changing Employers) and formalises his status as Ryan employee on 1958-10-17 (Offer of Employment).On 1958-10-20 Suchong records "Observation #33" where he says he got inspiration from Columbia to create drinkable plasmids. Mind you, Fontaine was apparently dead for a month.1958-11-01 Frank Fontaine records "Product Recall":>Suchong, what the hell were you thinking? Drinkable Plasmids? We're burning through ten times the amount of ADAM compared to the injectables. And if you failed to notice, them Sea Slugs ain't exactly growin' on trees. Switch back to the injectables and let the eggheads in marketing worry about selling it to the chumps.This is illogical considering that:1. Fontaine no longer had control over Fontaine Futuristics and thus having no way to know whether drinkable plasmids were wasteful or not, nor it was relevant to his economics, nor could he stop it.2. Fontaine kills Diane McClintock over the slightest possibility of her finding out he was actually Fontaine (The Longest Con.) Having Atlas leave a message to a current Ryan employee that could have easily sold him out with that audio diary is flat-out preposterous.
Hopes and expectations?
>>737224403Suck my cock
>>737220028Time travel plots suck, and just can't be written well, because there is always a "but why didn't they."Ex.: But if the problem was the baptism, and the desire for the baptism was brought on by the slaughter, why not prevent the slaughter, too?The game only allows 2 weapons at a time, which always sucks in every game that has ever done it.The powers are so incredibly redundant, and uninspired.The first DLC has EXACTLY THE SAME "twist" at the end of it. How lazy can you be?
>>737220028the socialist #resist faction vox populi ended up being presented as extremists and also enemies in the game.
>>737220028Following it from announcement to release was a depressing ride. Especially when it was announced the MP was getting cut.
>>737224540No. Burial at Sea shows how she was a dindu nuffin who sacrificed herself so a strong, independant white womyn could shine.
>>737224474hopes: it releasesexpectation: disappointmentBut really, I just hope it has some of the magic of Bioshock, even if it turns out overcooked and mid. You can hate levine and his neurotic jew shit, but you can't discount he has the potential for kino.
>>737224474I was about to complain about the negress until "WhenYouSeeIt.jpeg" caught my attention, game ruined
>>737224507
>>737224474lmao, wasn't it supposed to be released... 10 years ago or something?
>>737224852Irrational closed in 2014New Studio announced in 2017Game announced in 2022They originally were planning release sometime in 2026, but that's since been deleted from the steam page. So who knows.
>>737220028>shits on communism>even though it also shits on theocracyThat's it, that's literally it. Reddit loves to larp as revolutionaries and don't actually think about cause and effect.
>>737224474>hopesNone.>expectationsThat a game is released, /v/ hates it, reviewers all give it 10/10, we get 4 years of think pieces puffing it up, and then 10 years of retrospectives explaining why it wasn't actually good.
>>737220028>mfw i understood the ending and no other anon did
>>737220028its a bad game and no one on /v/ liked it when it came out either. go back on the way back machine and look at posts from before you were born if you dont believe me. its just some sort of contrarian trend to like old shit no one liked, like with the star wars prequels. maybe a decade of even worse slop has lowered everyones standards but a pile of shit is still a pile of shit
I never got around to play 2, and by extension infinite, because of securom malware, but I checked the other day and saw no mention of securom on the storepages for 2 and infinite. Did they remove it?Also what's the difference between the originals and the remasters?inb4>replying seriously to a bait thread using bioshock as cover
>>737220028I liked it well enough back when I first played it around release when I was 14
I liked the setting. Like old timey stuffStory wise I don't care about it. I like that the DLC ties back to Bioshock 1, that's cool. For me, Bioshock 1 is better
>>737220028He explained well enough yaers ago why this game deserves hate. Never again will I play a game with a kike director.
