Bioshock Infinite PS3 boxart

The only thing good about that box art is the confimation that the PS3 version includes the original Bioshock.

Holy crap Black Ops 2 is a giant piece of shit. First off it looks like ass, one of the worst looking games I have seen in a long time. Where the hell did the budget go? The game is still they same fucking bullshit and the worst kind, its just like BO1 which I hated too. Treyarch is CRAP, they are no B team they are a C team at best. They have no clue how to make any compelling single player content. it is all the worst CoD has to offer strung together. The first level had you running down this giant field where all the enemies were the exact same model, it was like some old NES game where it was the same sprite for every badguy. The future weapons at least seem cool, so maybe if the game becomes all future levels it can be redeemed somewhat.

The only reason I am still playing is cause it is in 3D and wow, its fantastic 3D. I'll tolerate the game just to enjoy the 3D of it all, and it makes it look less assy.

Yeah I am sure multiplayer is good but the campaign so far sucks balls.

You should have got it on either 360 or Wii U man. It actually looks really good on Wii U. But yeah, the campaign is pretty much the same thing as always. I think its more interesting than the last few COD's though.

No its not, at least not yet. In MW3 in the first hour I was on a boat in the middle of WW3 in a massive defense of NYC. The most incredible spectacular action sequences are going on. It was amazing. THIS GAME IS JUST SHIT. Here is an ugly field, shoot people. Here is a underground base, shoot people. Here is a horse, shoot people. The difference from these games and the MW games is so night and day. The MW games know how to do cinematic, they know the gameplay is basic so they color it up with some amazing sequences, BO just doesn't give a shit. They know the gameplay sucks and they do nothing to hide it, in fact they make it worse by making it as frustrating as possible.

I saw the new mode that had a potential to be good but of course they screw it up to. The strike mission has you control squads to defend a base, well once the defense begins it is a chaotic mess. Then when I want to replay it said I had only one squad left, so I tried it again, lost. Now I have no squads left so I cant play it, WTF. What squad, wtf is the game talking about, never does it mention anything about squads or anything. Why are these missions optional. Do I have a manual to explain any of this to me, NOPE. So what could be the most fun part of the game gets locked out, yay.

I passed those crappy sections by taking control of one solider and killing stuff. And if my one guy died...... I took control of another one.......

Anyways you should never buy these kinds of games unless you are into the multiplayer. Something like Farcry 3 would be more up your ally if you want a super good single player game.

I liked Waw though. It was decent. I wish they would do a COD Wii U boxset just so i could play with IR aiming. IR Makes even mediocre shooters (acceptable.) It couldn't save BLOPS 1 though, that was too bad.

$30....its actually pretty sweet. Totally glad I bought it, I'll probably still use it as my default charger even after I get the cable.

Weird, the guy who posted the Wii U CPU said he's heard the Next box CPU is only 1.6 ghz.

Weird, I played Wii U on a 720p tv, I know Nintendoland and Trine 2 are 720p. And yet both games looked much better on a 1080p tv, upscaled from 720. They both look more detailed and vibrant on the 1080p set.

Anyhow this was sweet, you know when you change tvs for a bluray player or gaming device? And you end up with a blank screen because the player/gaming device is set to a resolution not supported by the other tv? Then you have to unplug the whole thing, set it back up on the other tv, change the resolution then bring it back to the new tv you want to play on. Basically a massive pain in the ass.

With Wii U I just used the touch screen, went into the settings and changed it within 20 seconds. How cool is that?

Frozenbyte are great, Trine 2 already has drop in and out online co-op. Now they are working on an update for this month:

Joel from Frozenbyte said:
We originally wanted to do a -20% discount in North America too - just like we are doing in Europe right now - but it wasn't possible just yet.

We're thinking of doing the -20% for the Holidays though... nothing certain yet but we think it makes sense, although I'm not sure if there's enough time since the launch to not anger anybody... Maybe we'll time it with the update that we plan to bring in mid-to-late December (featuring Voice Chat, Wii U Pro Controller support, minor fixes, new languages like BR-PT, and additional vividness to the graphics so it will look even more awesome). We also plan to bring the demo in December.


Let's see how it goes... Looks like everybody's happy with the game so we have good reason to be too. Happy


- Joel, Frozenbyte team

Adding voice chat, pro controller support and more vivid graphics?
