I loved dishonoured and if you disagree with that then I'll open up a can of whoopass on you son
What the fuck am I reading? Even worse, you have me agreeing with the Ian Watkins fan.
Dishonored was an okay game, it had sone decent gameplay elements to it, but saying it was better than Bioshock? C'mon, Tash, don't be silly.
Ace!

Separate note. The seller who bought my Mordor has now contacted me to say that he wants to cancel because he bid on two at the same time and the other was cheaper!?
I explained that once he has bid he has entered into a binding contract and that I will report him if he does not pay. He has said "yes ok report me I can show that I bid on two at the same time".
Grrr. I wanted to sell that before Christmas. His English and his profile suggests someone who doesn't quite understand what eBay is. Which is fine. But he's robbed me of my selling opportunity. My response:
"I don't think you understand how eBay works. If you bid on something and win, you're obliged to buy it. You've wasted my time and destroyed my opportunity to sell this before Christmas. You've been reported."
Destroyed was a bad word to use. A bit comical, really. But I was very annoyed.
Ah missed that, don't look at gaming much. Which Bioshock? I watched friends play through 1 when it came out and played Infinite, do it, see how it is, but then you're required to play XCOM. I need to read some spectacular soldier death stories via NeoGAF user "sploatee".
fight me
Is Sploat talking about Infinite? I thought she was talking about the original. In that case, many games are better than the boring tramp sim that was Bioshock: Infinite.

Bioshock told a fairly ok story but the gameplay was fairly lacklustre. Dishonoured came out of no where took a shit on Bioshocks bed and said fucking deal with it.

I didn't think much of Dishonoured when I played it. Granted that was when drunk and not in the mood to play it so I just fucked around and did nothing.
I should try it again some time.
How bad is it? Because I don't think anything can be as bad as Drake of the 99 Dragons' game over sequence where it loads a new area, then when it loads you have to wait 10 seconds as the Gods or whatever taunt you before it then reloads the area you died at.

JRPGs are the worst games there are. The thought of a JRPG that is even distantly related to Persona makes me shudder. I know that's not what you were asking. I'll go to bed now.

It has this system where you can pay money (or the 3DS pedometer coins) to resurrect rather than reload your save, but if you don't want to do this - and I don't, because the in-game economy is harsh as fuck as it is without going wuss mode - it involves blasting through like a ton of dialogue and exposition and TWO payment prompts in order to reach the main menu again.
It's just 60 seconds of needless BS in a game where the difficulty is fucking brutal.
And yes sploatee, go to bed. Ya knaw nathin.

Buying puzzle pieces is slower than skipping through the cheron scene. Pay up the minuscule amount of play coins (especially compared to Persona Q God damn) and learn to be less of a scrub.
Also I don't have a problem with any of the new demon artwork, makes a nice change from the cutouts of art books for demon designs almost as old as me.

Ahhh, 'twas fun while it lasted, waiting until the the last thread was locked.
Ken Lavine hasn't made a good game since System Shock 2. Fight me.
Ken *Levine made Bioshock. You know, that game he created that went on to win a shitload of awards and was praised as a genre-defining title? Yeah, that one.
Come at me.
Bioshock was a boring shooter with a half decent setting ripped right out of a Jules Verne novel; a bland protagonist; nonsense plot and absolutely no substance.
First of all, was it really necessary to make it clear that you were correcting him? Don't be a patronising dick.
But yeah, if you think Bioshock defined a genre then you're a fool. It defies shooter conventions and is a shooter with open design in 2007. That's more like genre subverting than defining. That's what makes Bioshock great.
Also, awards mean nothing. Next you'll be citing metacritic.
Second last is good enough for me.

looks like you had a bioSHOCK. seems he DISHONOURED your agreement. at least you'll get your red dead REDEMPTION, he'll soon be an eX...com ebay user.

Bioshock was a watered down system shock 2, was genre did it define exactly.

what establishment allowed a duck to keep a pet?
seriously though, cats are solitary buggers and s/he'llbe back in no time, slightly annoyed that you let her/him get so hungry.
I respectfully disagree. The combination of weaponry and an array of Plasmids was fun, adding an RPG-like element as the player learns to strike a balance between their health, ADAM and EVE. The setting itself, Rapture, was brilliant. Seeing it for the first time as you descend into the ocean was one of those 'Oh, shit...' moments. Saying it was 'ripped right out' of a Jules Verne novel is ridiculous. It drew inspiration from it, sure, just like all games draw inspiration from somewhere.
The protaginist is what you make him, the choices you make shaping and moulding him. The plot, while not perfect, was decent enough to keep me hooked. And dat twist, brah. At the end of the day, we can argue back and forth about whether Bioshock truly is a good game or not but, in the end, it's all a matter of personal opinion. I like it, you don't. Nothing will change that.
It's not about if it's a good game or not, the argument is whether it's genre defining, which it isn't.

Dishonoured is a great game, but the vanilla campaign is completely outclassed by the the DLC. The trials stuff shows just how far the deceptively simple gameplay could be pushed (hint: very), whilst the story DLC washed away the bad taste of the main campaign's horribly obvious plot and gave us someone to actually give a shit about. I highly recommend going all in with it.
That said, it's not really in the same ballpark as Bioshock, especially in terms of characters, VA, aesthetics, and world building. The difference in production values is noticeable.
I wouldn't say that. He's played like that to begin with and the player is offered the illusion of choice, but by the end it's very clear that you have minimal influence over who he is.
You mean Bioshock? Absolutely not. It owes too much to System Shock 1/2.
But it IS about if it's a good game or not...
I bought up the comment about it being genre-defining but, at heart, it's still about the quality of the game.

to be fair it did define the having-a-wander-around-an-underwater-city-whilst-stabbing-yourself-full-of-glowing-liquid genre, aka the HWAUCWSYFGL-RPG.
Yeah hopefully. I can deal with it, but the girlfriend has been crying for a day solid now. She doesn't work Mondays but I do, so had to leave her. Feel slightly shitty.what establishment allowed a duck to keep a pet?

Excellent choice. I love that damn duck.
I've spent the last 6 months trying to get my daughter to watch it more - but Peppa Pig always wins out. I WILL NOT BE DEFEATED THOUGH - I bought her cuddly Sarah and Duck (who quacks) - surely it has to work?
