early cold war was literally 40k logic

#

the idea of tactical nuclear weapons is so fucking batshit insane

rocky gale
#

SHODAN my beloved

crystal forum
#

can you imagine if the guard had access to nuclear shells on the regular

#

imperium would never lose wars

#

how to defeat nids: fire 10000 tactical nukes at them

rocky gale
#

Isn't that what they do?

crystal forum
#

nah they shoot boring WW2 type shit

#

just normal shells

#

also did you guys know that soviets had a nuclear torpedo

#

imagine getting slammed by a fucking underwater nuke

#

the thing wasn't even supposed to hit directly. it was the shockwave that was meant to fracture the ship hull

opaque coyote
#

Other reason why is because we actually tried that.

But also that soldiers aren't exactly consistent in intelligence

#

Some dumbass misfiring a shell would just destroy the entire artillery enplacement

jolly summit
crystal forum
#

i also just found out that the US had an air to air nuclear missile because why not i guess

opaque coyote
crystal forum
#

no this was during the brief era before ICBM's were the main nuclear delivery system

opaque coyote
#

Nvm then that's just weird

crystal forum
#

jet bombers were expected to fly to the enemy and bomb directly

opaque coyote
#

Oh

#

...

crystal forum
#

so im guessing the nuke missile was meant to take out a whole flock of them

opaque coyote
#

Pfft

#

"Trying to do Hiroshima to us huh? Well catch this first."

crystal forum
#

you wouldn't be able to stop an ICBM with air to air missiles because those things literally go to space i think

crystal forum
#

just nuclear devices everywhere in the 50's

#

i'm sure you heard of the davey crocket before

opaque coyote
#

Soldiers can vary heavily in intelligence

#

And accidents happen

#

So imagine accidents happening with a fucking mini nuke

crystal forum
#

the fact that a unit level officer could authorize a nuclear weapon being used

#

the 50's were wild

opaque coyote
#

They were just thought of as any other weapon

crystal forum
#

fallout isn't even that far fetched with the mini nukes

crystal forum
opaque coyote
#

MacArthur was far from a good human being. But genuinely, I don't think even he 100% understood the ramifications.

hollow lantern
#

Dude was like

#

Actually insane

crystal forum
#

and anyways im sure he understood what he was doing anyways. he prob just didn't care about civilian casualties

#

guy was just evil

#

not ignorant

opaque coyote
crystal forum
#

maybe that would have happened if japan didn't get nuked

opaque coyote
#

Both South Korea and North Korea had basically their own evil despots at the helm

#

It's just that South Korea eventually moved on from that (unless if you count Samsung) while the North uhhh

Didn't

hollow lantern
#

Nah SK has like

#

Cyberpunk tier corporations tbh

#

I do count Samsung as evil

#

It's just not quite NK

#

However

#

One should not compare evils, Kruber.

crystal forum
#

btw this is one of my fav bombers, the hustler. it's a nuclear bomber like i was talking about

vagrant fox
crystal forum
#

its sole purpose was delivering nuclear payloads

opaque coyote
#

Although I kinda want System Shock 3...

If it ever actually gets worked on.

To follow up on the plot thread of System Shock 2. Where SHODAN essentially possesses a human body.

#

Like imagine the blow to her ego that would be.

#

Firstly she gets beaten by a "filthy insect".

Then she's forced to work with another human to defeat The Many.

#

Then she gets beaten by him.

#

And then finally, she's forced to possess a "filthy insect" just to survive

#

Again.

#

Her plans were meant to be flawless.

#

But they failed.

vagrant fox
#

too bad we got bioslop

crystal forum
#

take that back

#

also new bioshock game is currently being developed

#

it WILL be bad

#

and you will play it anyways

vagrant fox
#

I only played the first one for 45 minutes

last stone
#

Tbf, a lot of the old "OmG amazing games" have started to become horrible to experience. So either my tastes have changed, or the companies have lost the thread

crystal forum
#

one of the most quotable games of all time

vagrant fox
#

I played and completed Delta Force 1998 even though I didn't understand English ๐Ÿค“

crystal forum
#

anyways wtf are they even going to do with bioshock 4 like i'm genuinely curious where the story could go

#

they had to change the entire setting to make infinite feel fresh

#

and 4 is apparently going to be back to the sea

#

it's going to be so creatively bankrupt

hollow lantern
crystal forum
#

started with 1930's with 1 and 2 and then went to like the 10's in infinite

rocky gale
#

Na underground is the next step

#

Mole city time

hollow lantern
#

1800s, space game

#

Treasure Planet?

#

Id take a treasure planet setting game

vagrant fox
#

I would kill for a Treasure Planet game

#

Or an Atlantis The Lost Empire game that's good

crystal forum
#

also i cant stress enough just how much i dislike the plot to infinite

#

i know it has its fans

#

it's a very divisive game

#

like when we see the airships attack a 1980's new york i laughed so hard

#

even as a kid

#

like you're telling me F16's can't just send those to the ground immediately

vagrant fox
#

yeah

crystal forum
vagrant fox
crystal forum
#

i have taken the time to separate the part of my brain that cares about graphics so i can appreciate older games better

#

and tbh graphics matter so little for a game's overall quality

hollow lantern
#

Great movie

crystal forum
#

also this might be heresy but i dont think the half life games are that good story wise

#

i don't know why they're treated as perfect games by some people

hollow lantern
#

Hl1 has a stupidly good story that influenced games past it for better or worse

crystal forum
#

half life 1 is like a borderline incomprehensible game

#

and 2 is just generic action movie

celest dome
#

Wasn't there gonna be a BS in Antartica ?

crystal forum
#

but also it's in a terrible situation dev wise

celest dome
#

Wasn't there some old BS devs that left and are also making a BS styled game but underground ?

crystal forum
#

idk about that

#

i just know 4 is going to suck

#

2k is a terrible company

vagrant fox
#

More the gameplay that matters

#

Sys shock 2 was still fun but the gameplay was iffy at times

crystal forum
#

the story is half the reason bioshock became popular

#

bioshock 2's gameplay is overall an improvement over the first game but it's completely forgotten because the story is pretty meh

#

bioshock would just be another good 2000's shooter if it wasn't for rapture, would you kindly and all that shit

plush mason
#

2 had you play as a Big Daddy

crystal forum
#

2 had big sisters which are a super important part of the plot yet nobody remembers they exist compared to big daddies

plush mason
#

tbf the big sisters are only in 2

#

where as big daddies are in all the games

crystal forum
#

there's only 2 games set in the underwater location

#

apart from burial at sea DLC in infinite

spring cairn
#

i love ven so much already

#

peak supernatural hunter design

crystal forum
#

big sisters are forgotten because 2 is just a forgettable game

#

apart from the fact that you're a big daddy

#

hell, people only even remember the bouncer big daddy

#

probably because it's on all the marketing material

#

there's something really perfect about the big daddy design that itches all the video game monster needs

#

i remember seeing it on a game case as a kid in a rental store and being captivated by its design

vagrant fox
#

But where is big uncle

celest dome
#

Big Uncle is in fact Big Daddy

plush mason
#

the old diving bells and what not

crystal forum
#

this is real and true

#

there's something both beautiful and terrifying about early industrial navy aesthetics

plush mason
#

yup

crystal forum
#

i think big daddies work so well also because they really hit a uncanny valley feel

#

they're so close to looking human yet also not being fully identifiable

shadow plover
#

cartoon characters

crystal forum
#

the proportions are all over the place

#

and the head isn't in a natural position

#

it looks like a huntchback which further makes it look alien

plush mason
crystal forum
#

yup you see them in the background of the game doing maintenance and stuff

#

since that's their actual lore purpose

celest dome
#

In the water outside

crystal forum
#

dont forget the very unsettling whale songs they do instead of speaking

#

making them sound somewhat tragic

#

the game really makes you hate yourself for killing them

#

they just want to chill really

storm jungle
#

never share any of your takes, ever

#

pretty please

crystal forum
#

i think it's also kinda cool that we never really learn what they look like under their diving suits

shadow plover
#

Bioshock 2 is pretty universally disliked compared to the first one though

storm jungle
#

Its a jay take what do you expect

#

never let this guy cook

shadow plover
#

oh it was about Half Life not Bioshock

crystal forum
#

i don't personally dislike 2 but i understand why it isn't as popular as the first game

#

making a sequel to bioshock was never going to work

storm jungle
shadow plover
#

Jay was talking Bioshock

storm jungle
#

no

crystal forum
#

2 also tries to explain things that didn't need to be explained

plush mason
shadow plover
#

I didn't scroll up

storm jungle
crystal forum
#

i think burial at sea did a much better job than 2

storm jungle
#

Burial at Sea

#

oh my god man

crystal forum
#

for a DLC it's just surprisingly good

crystal forum
storm jungle
vagrant fox
#

smh bioslop

vagrant fox
crystal forum
#

idk i just think it's a very strange DLC in an already strange addition to the bioshock series

storm jungle
#

me @ you btw

jolly summit
vagrant fox
#

Genuinely one of the funniest games

crystal forum
#

not only does it return to rapture but it also turns the game into a stealth shooter

#

and it somehow works??

storm jungle
#

burial at sea is famously divise lol

crystal forum
#

infinite is a very divisive game by itself

#

i think the story is annoying af

#

but i like it regardless

storm jungle
#

I mean

#

its because Infinite is not a gret game

#

its not even divise lol

#

a lot of people just didnt like it

crystal forum
#

why don't you like it

#

i think the gameplay is great personally

storm jungle
#

Its just a bioshock game confused by its identity with a really bad plot and boring gameplay loop

#

if you wanna clap when Pornzabeth opens a Tear i guess its fine

crystal forum
#

the story just goes off the rails at like the middle mark

#

and god the ending is so bad

storm jungle
#

my favorite part is like

jolly summit
storm jungle
#

"we need to kill you to make sure comstock never happens"

crystal forum
#

IT WAS ACTUALLY THE MULTIVERSE THE WHOLE TIME

shadow plover
#

I can't stand Troy Baker in it

storm jungle
#

infinite timelines

#

????

storm jungle
#

you should say anywhere

shadow plover
#

well it was the early days of Troy Baker in everything

storm jungle
#

LOL

crystal forum
# storm jungle >infinite timelines

the game wants to make the reveal feel like you were the bad guy the whole time but it just makes you fucking hate the girl for killing our boy booker

jolly summit
#

I can't recall a single instance of the skyhook mechanic where it was required after it was introduced with a short tutorial on it

storm jungle
jolly summit
#

even for traversal you could usually avoid using it

storm jungle
#

like

#

reminder

crystal forum
#

like our booker literally did nothing wrong why is he blamed for some alternate universe retar

storm jungle
#

they literally had a presentation of the main director breaking down her character to essentially say shes a disney princess

#

which was creepy as shit

#

lmao

crystal forum
#

it's literally the same logic as the multiverse guy from invincible

#

but somehow treated as the good thing

storm jungle
#

because hes fucking brain damaged and merged with multiple personalities

#

where they outright say "Out of all the Marks you choose one of the good ones to attack and kill?"

#

lmao

crystal forum
#

booker literally risked his life to save a random child and he's treated the same as the literal racist segregationist

storm jungle
#

the fate of all white men ๐Ÿ˜”

jolly summit
#

Bioshock Infinite was also incredibly easy compared to Bioshock 1, which was already much easier than System Shock 2.

#

and Prey and Dishonoured both took the concepts and gameplay in more interesting directions

crystal forum
#

i don't think dishonored is comparable

storm jungle
#

the aesthetic of each game also helped a lot

#

love Dishonored

shadow plover
crystal forum
#

it is

#

but it's a very different game

storm jungle
#

it seems pretty similiar to me

#

you play a white guy

#

and gotta rescue a white chick

#

and also kill people

jolly summit
crystal forum
#

prey also only has like the wrench and 2 hand gun-power mechanic

#

and no other similarity

storm jungle
#

it can be its entire video

celest dome
#

Didn't the 2nd have you play as a black woman ? Which cause quite some people to screech on the internet when it released ?

storm jungle
#

No?

crystal forum
#

the start of infinite is like one of my top game intros

storm jungle
#

its alwas Booker

jolly summit
#

I think I was still buying PC Powerplay monthly back when Infinite was announced

celest dome
#

For Dishonored

shadow plover
#

Dishonored 2 had the expansion

celest dome
#

Not BS

jolly summit
#

and there was a significant amount of cutting

crystal forum
#

the reveal of the city in the clouds is so good

rocky gale
#

Do you mean death of the outsider?

storm jungle
#

oh yeah Death of the Outsider

rocky gale
#

It was a dlc

storm jungle
#

im gonna be real i could not play that game

#

the plot/gameplay was so boring

jolly summit
#

Bioshock 1 had a fair bit cut from concept to delivery as well though

crystal forum
storm jungle
#

yeah but it didnt lie about it

jolly summit
#

they significantly reduced the System Shock 2 roleplaying elements

storm jungle
jolly summit
#

I probably still have the magazine announcement for Bioshock 1 somewhere XD

crystal forum
#

the lead director of infinite overpromised hard

jolly summit
#

but yes, they didn't lie

#

iirc they acknowledged the cuts to systems after player focus group tests

#

because in the 2000s people found the roleplaying elements and inventory management too difficult

#

Ogryn brained decade

crystal forum
#

i think the game was made better by its simplicity

jolly summit
#

before every shooter became a lite-RPG

crystal forum
#

like i said earlier, the story is what carries bioshock 1 hard

jolly summit
#

the problem for BS 1 is that once they used that storyline, its novelty ceased

crystal forum
#

it was never supposed to have sequels to be fair

jolly summit
#

and they then tried to re-tell the same story in BS 2 and BS:Infinite

crystal forum
#

infinite tried something new

#

but it ended up just pissing off everybody

#

like why call it bioshock still

jolly summit
#

In terms of narrative elements, it was not trying anything new

#

Old wine in new bottles is the saying

crystal forum
#

you sure? it has a pretty different narrative

#

the only real big similarity is the late game shocker reveal but both are very different

shadow plover
#

Maybe for your average capital G Gamer at the time

crystal forum
#

it tried making too many points

#

like when your game has literal segregationist era america and a race war as a minor plot element you know shit's too muddled

storm jungle
#

LOL

shadow plover
#

yea but that would be woke

storm jungle
#

yeah like no offense

#

if you still somehow get "offended" by a segregation revolution element as a "gamer" you might need to be beaten on the streets too

crystal forum
#

kinda pisses me off even more how they had that element in the game but the multiverse had to be the main thing

celest dome
#

Wait, offended why ?

#

Due to the presence or how it is taken/depicted ?

storm jungle
storm jungle
shadow plover
#

multiverse storylines are the worst crutch in storytelling

celest dome
#

Cause there can be cases where game depict segregations in ways that is quite dishonest.

crystal forum
#

the game starts off with booker interrupting a public stoning of an interacial couple

shadow plover
#

well not really stopping

#

he gets stopped before doing anything

crystal forum
#

didn't say stopped

storm jungle
#

the illusion of choice.....

jolly summit
#

booker de witless

crystal forum
#

i wish the game kept the weapon wheel

#

the weapon pickup inventory just feels like devs copying call of duty

#

and you end up only using like the same weapons anyways

celest cedar
crystal forum
#

oh also the handymen are a pretty poor imitation of big daddies and they're not nearly as memorable

storm jungle
#

shadow plover
#

SR2 was pretty cool but the latter ones went off the deep end

storm jungle
#

Yeah entirely due to the GTA thing

crystal forum
#

it's gta with just cause gameplay and stuff like dido bats added so people actually talk about it

rocky gale
storm jungle
#

the devs thought what the ydid with SR1 and SR2 wanst enough

#

so they just kept getting sillier and sillier until the franchise basically died

#

the lack of innovation and other shit just didnt really help lol

#

hilarious because the fan favorites are literally the first 2 games from how tonally different they are from GTA itself

celest cedar
#

you could say they beat a dead horse

storm jungle
#

Not even beat

storm jungle
#

its more like uhhh

#

ignoring to ever feed the horse

#

going to another horse

#

and beating that one to death instead

crystal forum
#

dont worry gta 6 will have the same effect

storm jungle
#

it really wont

crystal forum
#

there's no way it lives up to the hype

storm jungle
#

Rockstar games are always peak because they innovate and got great stuff in them.

#

It will

#

idk why people say this

rocky gale
#

Saints 4 was peak you're just a hater

storm jungle
#

lol

crystal forum
#

the hype is Everest level

#

nothing can reach that

storm jungle
#

Rockstar can

#

like-

#

people always say "rockstar cannot beat their last game"

#

for the last 2 decades

#

lol

shadow plover

Ehh, I'm sure it'll be a good game but people are way overblowing it

RDR online is a thing, so yeah rockstar can fuck up

rocky gale

That one's valid

storm jungle

its not really fucking up if they dont even care about it tbh

crystal forum

dilara get off the multi billion dollar company's dick

the smartest move they did with RDR online was abandon it

This shit is unbeaten to this day, cowadoody could NEVER

storm jungle

also i love how people bring it up as if your average gamer could solve any other complex physics puzzle ever lmao

crystal forum
#

i just don't think it makes for a good game just because it's technically impressive

storm jungle
#

I mean it does

celest cedar
storm jungle
#

becaues the game isnt just physics

#

i think you are kinda missing the point lol

crystal forum
#

i could play a nvidia physics demo but that isn't fun is it

storm jungle

theres like

vagrant fox
#

HL2 is poppin it's a great game

celest cedar
#

if even my pre middle school ass understands what Valve is trying to convey with their level design

storm jungle

I THINK about 3-4 physics showcases in multiple hours across the game?

celest cedar
#

that shits good

storm jungle
#

most of them arent even noticable

#

lol

crystal forum
#

i think the story is just pretty generic for an action movie inspired thing

storm jungle

I mean no its not

it was the first of its kind to also try such a thing

so no

That's mainly cause Mainstream studio kinda rejected Horror movies, so it developped in the margins

they just dont put value on horror

you can count on your fingers the number of active horror directors who aren't shit rn

celest dome

They outright consider it negative value.

#

Iirc there is a director that said that going into horror is most often just going to shut down your career outside of horror, as studio are not gonna consider you the same way

crystal forum

that really sucks

#

also my hot take is horror movies will never be as good as horror games

celest dome
#

It's easier to scare in a game

crystal forum
#

actually being present in the story adds such an important element

#

because you feel there

#

not as a character

plush mason

games make the horror more personal so ofc they are better than movies

celest dome

And you have actions, feel more personal

plush mason

with a movie you are only a spectator

with a game you are directly involved
