Infinite used foreshadowing better than any other book, movie, or video game I've ever experienced. The feeling that you don't actually understand what's happening and the foreboding atmosphere/characters/motifs/music/etc. combine exceptionally well. It's too bad the game got rushed near the end of its development, because it did have its flaws as Lemex pointed out. The first episode was mediocre, and the second was generally good other than some plot holes. It's probably worth playing IMO, but you'll get an even stronger disappointment feeling when you play it a second time.
Speaking of episodes, did anyone play Half Life 2? That's another I'd stick on my 'greatest of all time' lists.
I hope we get something else Shock as the next game in the series. Not so much another Bioshock but perhaps a spiritual successor or something tied in (maybe) there was System Shock and then Bioshock.....what else could be Shock.
So it's Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson trying to escape San Andreas with his daughter, but he must first gather the money necessary to buy two plane tickets through extortion, kidnapping, drug peddling, and prostitution? How could that not work?
Besides being addicted to the Witcher 3, me and my hubby got Talisman boardgame with the Bloodmoon and Highlands expansions. We now have a dedicated game night with co-workers to eat, drink, and mess around with one another :3
@Lemex I haven't played it but feel like I should just to finish of the series. I've been told from several different sources that it doesn't completely sort out the plot holes but, still, I might give it a go, to go back to Rapture if nothing else.
Fallout 4, XCOM 2, and possibly Dark Souls 3 all announced in the same week? Much as I was underwhelmed with last year's new releases, this year is looking fantastic. It's already been memorable with Pillars of Eternity and Witcher 3. Only complaint is Witcher 3's begging me to upgrade my video card...
Just announced today, check any major gaming website, or youtube for the trailer. My only concern so far is, like Skyrim, it looks like Fallout 4 uses a heavily modified version of Bethesda's old game engine instead of an entirely new one. This hasn't been confirmed, but that's how it looks from the video.
I thought the game engine was the biggest let down with Fallout 3 and Skyrim. All the physics were screwed up and the movement felt really unnatural. Every time I walk into a room on Skyrim, all the items fly about the place.
Same for me, especially once I install a lot of mods. I like the environments Bethesda creates enough to deal with the finicky parts of the engine, but I'm really hoping for an upgrade with Fallout 4. Still, even if it is just new content in Skyrim's engine I'll probably spend way too much time with it.
I was amusing at times, but other times it could be annoying as shit and ruin the experience, especially when you'd get stuck in a rock and have to reload your autosave. Fallout 4 looks nice. The engine reminds me a bit like John Carmack's Rage engine. ID Tech 3 was it? But I doubt it's the same one.
Just watched the fallout 4 trailer, big fan of the fallout series up until 3, when it lost its feeling. This one looks much better but if it doesn't have that fallout feel from 1 and especially 2 then it'll be another let down.
Fallout 4... who hoo! About bloody time! I really enjoyed 3 and New Vegas. As with most games I could be critical but I've got such a soft spot for Fallout, I could forgive it nearly anything. I got hooked on Bethesda's games via Morrowind on the pc, so the mechanics are far less important to me than the general ambiance, and how much the game lets my own imagination take flight. I've been humming Marty Robbins since the news hit my feed this morning.
