Brand New Band • Page 310

Hahaha I have held back on buying so much stuff just in case. I just had to get internet security and found a load of trials I can use. Phew.

 

I cancelled entirely.

Bioshock is my favorite game of all time. As The Dark Knight is my favorite film and The Devil and God
Are Raging Inside Me is my favorite album and The Great Divorce is my favorite book.

I also loved Infinite.

 

Why won't you play Infinite? I liked it much more than 2.

 

Oh my god I agree with everything there except I've never read The Great Divorce and though Dark Knight is absolutely one of my favourites, I'm not sure it's the favourite. I don't even know if I have a favourite.

I couldn't play Infinite because for me, Rapture was everything. You take the gloomy, dark, crumbling paradise out of it and shove it into a pretty cloudy sky and you take away the heart of everything it was in my opinion!

 

I'd say Infinite, despite it's pretty opening, has Columbia brooding with an atmosphere of darkness that matches (or gets darn close) Rapture. I highly recommend giving it a run.

 

Literally just because it's in the sky. I adore Rapture, and with Columbia (is that what it's called?) I just didn't like the faster-paced rail-gliding in the clouds with giant mechanical birds and time-travelling (the time rip things?) George Washington robot things. I will admit the crow plasmid looks awesome but it's one of those things I just refused to play as a result of it not being in Rapture. Daft maybe, but it just looked too different for me. I also intensely dislike AI companions in games, and thought that the characters looked quite cartoony? I don't know how to word it. In the end it boils down to bright skies and rail-gliding vs a crumbling utopia at the bottom of the ocean. Being in the sky made it too far-fetched for me, and after playing Infinite briefly at a mates I thought it didn't come close to matching the atmosphere from the first.

I mean, I'm going to be getting the Bioshock Collection so once I've gotten all the trophies on both one and two (I'm one of those) I'll probably give it a go, yeah!

 

I agree with @Kevin360 , you're really missing out on Infinite. One of the best parts of that game is that it starts off as this utopia-like paradise in the sky but as the game continues, the paint starts chipping and you begin to see a place that's as dark and corrupt as Rapture. Basically you see what Rapture would have been like in the beginning as well as its descent, and then finally rock bottom.

 

SPOILERS AHEAD
AHOY! SPOILERS BE BREWIN' AHEAD!
DON'T HOVER YOUR MOUSE OVER THE SPOILERS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE!


Also, missing out on the core of the franchise. The lighthouse. The city. Some really clever writing. Some call it convoluted, but you don't get into Quantum Mechanics without getting in over your head.

Edit: I wish you had to click that spoiler to see it, but be wary.

 

Well I didn't wanna spoil the ending but yeah

 

I come into this thread and Kevin is teaching people quantum mechanics and people are talking about time traveling George Washington

What in the world has happened here

 

Yep

 

I'm going to improve my spoiler warning. After three and a half years, I feel like he probably has heard at least what much, but I know I was mad when parts of the ending were spoiled for me.

 

DON'T LET ME LEAVE, MURPH! MUUUURRRRRRRPH!!!!!!!

 

If this (supposed) LP5 doesn't reference quantum mechanics, time travel, alternate dimensions and the like, I am now going to be very disappointed.

 

Okay so now I actually really do want to play it...you're selling this very well! It's just aesthetically Rapture is so much more brooding and appealing to me :(

To even reply to these I had to quote and saw what was in the spoiler bracket haha! But the lighthouse I've obviously known about because of the first two games. I mean, if the plot expands on something about the lighthouse then I won't know about it anyway, and I don't know anything about this city that you're referencing! So don't worry about it haha. Very vague spoilers if you could call them that :)

 

I'm pretty sure Washington dabbed across the Delaware River

 

i have no idea, im not American

 

This is the best sentence I've ever read

 

My order from P!MT, Mene and 3DR vinyl, is finally awaiting shipment!

 

I guess it's radio silence for the rest of August from BN's camp?

 

Nah. I think we hear something before the month is over.

 

Just looked at that All Get Out tour. Supported by Microwave? Hahah that's a fantastic band name. People don't even need to try to be elaborate with band names anymore because kitchen appliances will do just fine. I got dibs on Blender and Lean Mean Fat Reducing Grilling Machine.

EDIT - just started listening to All Get Out for the first time. I love this! Man, I've got so much music to enjoy in the wait for this BN album.

 

The Season is my favorite song. I don't care if it's their most famous.

 

I love Lucky Bastard!

 

Sure hope so.
