/v/ - Video Games

Ask yourself a question OP.

What was the point of your thread.

To just complain about a game?

You already know the answer to it.

>turn up the difficulty

>enemies gain massively bloated hp pools and do more damage, making the already dirt-tier gunplay even worse

Nice one, champ.

>games seem to be made for retards

>most "gamers" are retards

Looks like you might need to actually think for this one.

>>15589088

Play 2 instead.

>actually liking the gameplay of bioshock

>liking it at the worst difficulty

I think you're lost

>>>/cuckchan/

>>15589088

To be fair, some things are odd about difficulty settings - one example being the Enemies Speak Korean in Crysis 1 which should've probably been the standard voice to begin with.

>>15589088

>Journos hyping it up like the second coming of Christ

Don't lie, Biosocks played a huge part in boosting gamers egos. Everyone and their dog were sucking up to it, to justify their hobby as a grand adult activity and not kiddie toys.

>Thought it was over-rated at best

Shock, a teen from gamefaqs thought a popular game was overrated. What are the chances.

Don't be like leftists with their doublethink: be coherent. If you think gaming is serious business with narratives and aesthetic, own up to the fact we were all getting the Biodick up our collective asses back then. Very few people never entered that mindset and remained playing games solely for fun, like Mario and sportshit.

>>15589088

>Why the fuck is the default difficulty/settings on retard mode?

Games have been like this for years. Normal is now babby mode and the hardest difficulty is normal.

>>15589108

>having a problem with Bioshock on any difficulty

Git gud.

>>15596865

>own up to the fact we were all getting the Biodick up our collective asses back then

Most of /v/ wasn't using imageboards in 2007. Hell most weren't using imageboards until maybe 2012 with a significant number showing up in 2014 because of GG and more coming in from reddit in 2016 due to the election. Mark himself is only a 2012-era ex-tripfag.

>>15595778

>muh ebil computer voice

>muh can't do that without skill points lel

Reminder that elitism was the gateway for SJWs in gaming. It's a kind of political correctness.

>>15596879

System Shock 2 isn't really that good a game anyway. Fags forget that easymode mechanics like the vita-chamber were just ripped directly from the older games.

>>15589088

>Why the fuck is the default difficulty/settings on retard mode?

Game journalists suck at games so much they need their hand held, I'm really god damned sure if they didn't have mental disabilities which stopped them from being so bad then games would've never regressed past a certain bar for difficulty.

What Bioshock actually does right

>atmosphere

>world building

>clever twist

>gameplay without health regeneration, that lets you carry all the weapons

What faggots blew Bioshock's arse for

>muh grown up political references

>muh deconstruction of the genre

>muh tough moral choices (not really)

>>15597046

>muh grown up political references

That's because it was an explicitly leftist game attacking a strawman of a superior right wing ideology.

>>15596885

You had to pay to use vita chambers in System Shock, and you could run out of money quite quickly.

Criticise the bad gunplay, and some of the more tediously designed levels, if you have to criticise it.

Deus Ex was better.

>>15597071

>Deus Ex was better.

Well everyone can agree on that. It's literally the best game of all time.

>>15597060

Is objectivism even right wing? Isn't it just "dude, individualism, lmao": the ideology?

>>15597096

Objectivism is sort of amateurish but it's a solid first attempt at coming up with an ideology like that and if it wasn't for the fact all (((philosophers))) nowadays are marxists it would have been expanded on a tranny philosophy professor just won the world's female cycling championship by the way. It does have real flaws but not what Bioshock claimed.

>>15597117

All I know is Ayn Rand was a jew who supported nationalism for Israel, while deconstructing it elsewhere.

>>15597126

The person =/= the argument.

>>15597137

Makes you wonder about what their underlying motivations behind forming the argument was though.

>>15597144

It's more likely just generic boomer bias. Remember that during the Cold War they were taught it was Israel or Communism and before the internet there was no way to see the reality behind the lies.

>imagine being so bad that you play games on """"""""""""""""""""normal"""""""""""""""""""" or - may allah forgive me for uttering this word - easy and not on the highest difficulty available from the start

sad

>>15596879

>Reminder that elitism was the gateway for SJWs in gaming

It was the casualization of games that allowed for the PC cancer to metastacise. Can't cry on MSM about muh bullies of wamnyn if there's only a couple of thousand people playing your shit.

>Easy as fuck because death has 0 consequence

>Dying on the retard difficulty

>15596879

But SJW's always complaing about eletisim and how it prevents new people from joining. Which is beneficial since new people is pretty much a synonym for casuals.

>>15589088

>Dying has consequence

in what way?

>>15589088

Bioshock is shit. The only good thing about it is its setting.

>>15597046

> that lets you carry all the weapons

to bad you couldnt carry a lot of ammo, because fuck you having fun with guns.

>>15597566

he disabled vita chambers. Dying is now dying instead of reviving at the local healslut tube

>>15597096

Objectivism is third way.

i just dont understand how its aging so fucking fast visually. There are older games that look better. and i dont mean stylised or extreme standouts like silent hill 3. I mean it looks like shit compared to low budget games from the time.

>>15605506

UE3 and it´s vaseline textures, and thank christ they didn´t use beefy character models like games that used that same engine.

>>15605667

>UE3

It was actually a heavily modified version of UR2.5.

Meh, i like the game, prefer the second one, in the hardest difficult is really appealing.

Also, probably Levine hates the second one because criticizes a leftist bias instead a right winger one, he doesn't even sing it.

>>15589088

You made a thread about how you can't select Hard or the Hardest difficulty knowing that borderline mentally challenged people/journalists will also play the game. Bioshock had some style borrowed from the past and some nice graphics at the time and set under water, that made for a good adventure. I thought the game was great though there was not enough unique items and the powers were not that interesting.

>>15606640

Ken Levine is a kike whose IP was done better by someone else. Infinite takes all the plot points of 2 but does them worse because Levine is a hack and a "timey wimey" tier dipshit.

>>15606530

>>15605667

Funny how the textures and lighting is so shit on unreal 3 that I can immediately detect it if the game was made on it.

Very few games look good on it and mostly are stylized anyway (Arkham games, mirror's edge, etc.)

>>15606530

Jesus. Isn't that what DX runs in?

>>15596872

>liking grind

Cancer.

>>15596879

what is this horse show theory horse shit

>>15616219

>horse show theory

>>15616219

>anons still get triggered by the notion that extremism makes you an idiot

quest arrow is good because I hate triggering story missions/cutscenes when I'm not done with side stuff

bioshock on hard becomes easy halfway through the game

>>15616219

>horse show

Bazingo

>>15596872

Normal:

>game is easy

Hard:

>game is easy, fights take longer

>>15618947

Bioshock is pretty linear, but I know what you mean. It's so lazy to just give the player an arrow, but modern gamers are so fucking casual that even if routes were properly indicated they'd still need them. It's the Valve play tester effect.

>>15623612

>ssp before the purge

Just pirate or buyfag the advanced edition, it recently got an upgrade so it's less of a janky pile of shit.

>>15631350

Most anons here haven't touched any game older than 2003. They just watch some shitty e-celeb or /v/ threads and parrot back those opinions. That was my point.

>>15631360

He clearly didn't get that tidbit from Yahtzee or he wouldn't have fucked up such a simple thing.

>>15618947

>>15623599

Bioshock has a map screen, so this criticism doesn't apply to it. It's like System Shock 2 at that point.

>>15597402

Imagine not even greentexting properly
