[QUOTE="Cranler"]Anyways you would think hype would increase expectations and lead to lower scores if a game doesnt live up to the hype.SciFiRPGfan

Jesus, not this againcharizard1605

PS, Bioshock Infinite was prime... amazing game and insanely well paced.  riviting story and fantastic ending.  I honestly can't see why anyone would trash talk that game.  it was prime.

Bioshock is more well known than the Metro series but both are well developed games.

Off the top of my head Daikatana, Enter the Matrix and Homefront were heavily hyped games with low review scores. Fable was hyped to be the greatest rpg ever and got good reviews but not great. I disagree. Cranler

and those who like Infinite simply can't grasp that maybe hype does play a part in its critical reception.texasgoldrush

Or maybe they like it?

never change, texas.

or I am laughing at your stupidity because you refuse to believe in the obvious flaws of the game....and those who like Infinite simply can't grasp that maybe hype does play a part in its critical reception.texasgoldrush

After reading that the guy doesn't even know the game's ending.

There are infinite possibilities.  Which means there are Booker DeWitts that did not go to war, Booker DeWitts that are not in debt, Booker DeWitts that are not alcoholics, and Booker DeWitts that NEVER HAD TO EXPERIENCE THE BAPTISM.  That's the freaking point of Infinite possibilities.  The guy you linked to is focused solely on the existence of just Booker and Comstock as HE sees them.  So the end credits you get are of the Booker DeWitt that remains who never had to experience the baptism.  Elizabeth kills Booker and Comstock at once, but only those that had to experience the baptism.  In a world of INFINITE possibilities NOT EVERY BOOKER WAS DRIVEN TO THAT POINT.

The guy you linked to is dumbass.

No dude, you're wrong.  The game is about infinite possibilities.  Hence the name, BioShock Infinite.  If Booker can turn away at the baptism or accept it, than there's a Booker out there who doesn't go to war.  There's a Booker out there who doesn't gamble.  You're trying to constrain BioShock Infinite into a game of FINITE possibilities, but the game is telling me a story of INFINITE possibilities.  You're the one trying to twist the game into something it isn't and doing so by linking to some stupid article where the plot of the game clearly went over the author's head.
