I'm so jaded and fatigued with new MMOs these days. I haven't enjoyed an MMO since WoW. What's the consensus on this one?

Wow... a historic day. LucasArts came out with some outstanding games in the 90s, but I'm having a hard time remembering the last time I played a good LucasArts game. They played fast and loose with that Star Wars license, which is a real shame.

News Comments > XCOM Shooter Getting Rebranded?
6. Re: XCOM Shooter Getting Rebranded? Mar 27, 2013, 23:28 Riker
 
I have no problem with a shooter with the XCOM brand, but what they showed previously was fucking ridiculous... it was XCOM in name only. If you're gonna slap XCOM on the box, make it consistent with the existing XCOM universe.

Regardless, I thought it looked like a massive piece of shit that should've never been green-lit, with or without the XCOM name.

I think the writing was on the wall the first time I saw the game. How could they let this happen?

BAHAHAHA! Pass! I'll just watch this one on YouTube!

That sounds like a lot of fun. Why didn't I think of that?

Just a head's up. To anyone who hasn't played the game but intends to, I'd strongly recommend avoiding reading BioShock Infinite threads or forums until you do. For anyone who hasn't played the game and doesn't intend to, get your shit together.

As for the lack of quicksave, it was a non-issue for me. There's a respawn mechanism ala BioShock 1, and the game auto-saves frequently enough.

I figure it took me about 12-15 hours, but I really like to take my time and make sure I don't miss anything. I played on Normal, but should've played on Hard.

One of the best games to come out in... years, at least. It wasn't perfect. I thought the structure of the story was a bit off, somehow. But oh do I have questions after that ending.

Adam Sessler's review sums up the game expertly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jchIi-vR_js

Levine and company ought to be very proud of their work. BioShock Infinite is a work of art.

Magic & Magic IV and V are gonna be hard to beat. But I was tickled to see what seems to be a grid- and turn-based combat system like the classics.

Bah, disappointed to hear Whedon's response to the Veronica Mars Kickstarter. The longer he waits...

It's gone, man. Let it go.

Yeah, I think so. Serenity was the last chance, I think, and that didn't go terribly well.

Sucks that the publisher had to bear this cost. I would've thought the charge-backs would've been to Steam, not directly to the publisher.

Torment has never been on my radar, so I'm going to hold off on this (well, that, and they don't have funding options for non-Americans at the moment). But wow... fully funded in 6 hours is incredible. Congrats to inXile.

I'm done giving Ubisoft my money. They fucked me with Settlers 7 (long story). Even if "always on" DRM is gone, they've permanently damaged their reputation with me.

My affinity for SS2 led me to try to get into SS1, and I even got into it a fair bit, but the controls were a huge barrier. I'm gonna check this out.

For those of you taking issue with the control scheme of System Shock 1...

System Shock Portable includes a mouselook patch from Malba Tahan.
