Other PC Games Thread.
So with the film and music threads still going and being discussed... why don't we get some discussion going on something on topic to the board? What other games are you playing now?

Bioshock 
Is great, but the games get progressively worse with each new version. The best critique I heard of infinite was from penny arcade's extra credits, a video called in service to the brand.

Ugh, This One Is Strangely Addicting 
Bioshock 
Is great, but the games get progressively worse with each new version.

Then it's probably good that I only bought 1&2 for $4.99 each and avoided Infinite for the $15 or whatever it was on sale for.

I haven't played much of anything but Quake, Fallout 3 and New Vegas for the last several years, so I'm a bit behind on games and I don't like to pay more than $10 for older stuff.

I did buy Far Cry 3 for $20 a couple of months ago. What a rip off. That game kind of sucked. I quit about halfway through. 
 
Play System Shock 2! 
Infinite 
Is still good I suppose, but I wouldn't play it twice.

The best bit for me was the story... And I still think that the first game had a better story / presentation of it.

Would you kindly play through to the end and post your opinion? 
 
Tried to play Operation Flashpoint Dragon Rising today. What a load of crap that is. Quit after 1.5 levels. I don't like tactical shooters, but even then would have put up with it if it had a quicksave and the zoom worked. Can't play without zoom though since enemies kill you with a single bullet from a kilometer away.

I liked Bioshock's design, but the gameplay wasn't that great. Not being able to die ruined it. 
Bioshock 
Yes, excellent game, but I found the combat subsystem a little messy. Id software still does better combat, no matter what you think about Rage etc.

It just isn't very tight, there is a lot of setting people on fire and other pseudo magic crap that just distracts from the shooting, which in itself is unsatisfying. The guns don't really have enough oomph to them.

The game also gets a little linear towards the end. I'm not a fan of the ending.

There could have been a greater variety of Splicers for my taste, I've seen their old GDD where they had stuff like lobster mutants. I would have liked to see those.

Cool plot augmentations like the Saturnine could have been much more interesting. Sadly stuff like that (as well as the smugglers) remained footnotes in favour of an endless stream of the same Splicers, just with more health.

If your game has things like Incinerate 2 and Incinerate 3, just to deal with progressively higher hitpoint versions of the same enemies, then I'd say that is broken design. It is much better to introduce new, more dangerous types of enemies later in the game such as Vores, Hellknights and Tarbabies in Quake or Hellknights and Mancubi in Doom 3.

Bioshock got a bit samey after the first couple levels. Awesome setting though. 
 
Everything in Bioshock looks like it's made out of 'foam doll' material.
That puts me off so hard :/ could never get around how garish the art looks. It might sound strange but that really kills the experience for me. 
 
http://orteil.dashnet.org/cookieclicker/ has to be one of the dumbest yet addicting "games" I know. What an idiotic concept. It's really just about making a number go faster. Interesting. 
I've Been On That For A Day And A Half 
It gets a bit Lovecraft towards the end :) 
Hah 
I did something like that once. It's fun to experiment with frustration on purpose in a games design. 
BioShock 
I agree that the end isn't all that great. I really don't like end bosses that much anyway. The last part before Fontaine is pretty annoying actually. Having to wear the big daddy suit, which highly restricts your vision, followed by the little sister escort part had me just about ready to quit at that point. I still haven't finished off Fontaine, but I do have a save game at that point. 
I Have The Cookie Thing Permanently Running In It's Own Tab 
Probably tells you something about human nature... :/ 
 
hehe do you guys have the antimatter condenser yet? not sure what the point is once you've got everything though.... 
I Have 20 Of Them... 
 
Getting Close... 
 
 
I got up to 5, but then decided the game really doesn't have any point or reason to continue.

I got up to 45, but then decided the game really doesn't have any point or reason to continue. 
Playin Against Zuckerberg 
Hah! 
 
LOL. 
Wait a minute, that is actually factual yes?? 
Broforce 
Is awesome.
