Mistrial (SP*)

In Response To: Verdict (Cody Miller)

: Awesome setting. Shitty game. I'm honestly disappointed it didn't
: revolutionize the medium or storytelling like SOMEBODY seemed to imply.
: But it's not unexpected that it didn't.

I don't think any one game can totally revolutionize the medium. I think games such as Bioshock Infinite can give it a hard push or even show the medium what it's potential is. Will FPS's dramatically change over night? No, but maybe they'll borrow ideas of how to make NPC's love able and more dynamic. Maybe they'll take qeues on how to tell an engaging and emotional story.

We can both agree Bioshock didn't change the game industry over night. But, the point I think you missed, is that it gave the industry a big kick in the pants and said, "Hey! Stop giving players good games and stories, give them fantastically amazing ones!"

Also, as for you "verdict" of "shitty game", there's really only two reason why you would say that. The game may not be revolutionary, it is still very very far from shitty. The first reason would be that you are a heartless man and don't enjoy a good emotionally journey. You're Zachary Comstock. The second would be, that your a scrapper and a fighter and just wanted to stirs things up. You're Booker Dewitt.

...no, you're both!
