Brad was absolutely right.

I never played Bioshock 2 since the first one was so bad. What makes that one so special? I want a huge Gone Home fan either.

Phantasmagoria 2 is so fucking dumb.
We know you don't like good games, nothing we say is going to make you like Minerva's Den.

It's implied that it's a personal opinion either way.

Someone posted this on Jeff's tumblr or something and he (seemingly annoyed) answered with something like: "that's implied."

wonder if the bioshock games came out today if they would even have combat given the proliferation of "walking simulators."
the best parts of Infinite were the parts in the beginning where the combat was either nonexistent or barely there and you got to explore that beautiful world without needing to scavenge for hot dogs in garbage cans
also, any spoilers in the Campo Santo interview that Austin did?
ugh, hate that term

Bioshock wasn't that amazing
yes it was especially when it first came out.

The gameplay was absolutely terrible. The story had a good twist, but it didn't make up for the poor death mechanics, the boring powers, and there annoying fights. The hacking was decent but needed more variety. Bioshock Infinite was much better, though I wouldn't call it a great game.
Edit: For reference, I played the original when it first came out but I played Infinite a couple years after release.
You're like this friend I have that hates the Uncharted games but has bought and played every one of them.

Yeah, at the time I really liked Infinite, but now thinking back on it I struggle to point out anything I actually liked about it specifically. With the first one I came to it late, I knew the twist and was mostly interested in the world and environment. After playing it for a while the shooting and mechanics felt horrible for me and it mostly felt like going room to room waiting for people to show up to shoot. I wasn't getting much of the world feel and finally the mechanics got annoying enough to give up on. With Infinite I think I was able to be more caught up with the world and mystery coming at it at launch. I can't really say what it did better for me than 1 but maybe the precursor area of getting a feeling for the world more and setting up the mystery aspect a lot better.
Do we know each other?
Though I bought and came to them late, but hated my every minute I played them. Actually I bought 3 and still never played it.

Part of bioshock's charm was how its at-the-time cutting edge visuals helped to immerse you in its fantastical environment.
If you go back to the first couple of games now then, yeah, those games are pretty rough compared to the near decade of tech that has come after. What you're left with is a clunky FPS that leaned heavily into a presentation that isn't holding up well and a story that was a bit uneven even back at launch

I got Infinite for free. I don't think I'd ever buy an Uncharted game after how much I disliked TLOU.

You can tell a lot about someones character by their opinions on Bioshock 1, you guys are on a list now.

No, but you have been added to the list.
I found SS series to be pretty unplayable especially compared to the BioShock games. but I guess we're on different teams with these series.

Today I will obtain a quesalupa.

Dan seems way into the quesalupa. I'm going to get myself one this week.
I've had several and the cheese is imperceptible. Basically they just fry some soft tortillas. Supposedly there's cheese in the middle but you'll never notice it.
For me, the most shocking thing about the RorieCast is that he's a perfect replacement for Jeff. Sweeping generalizations about entire genres, peculiar habits in his daily life, idiosyncratic opinions about individual games that don't seem to make any sense - nothing that Rorie said would have sounded strange coming out of Jeff's mouth, even his admission about Dark Showers.
What makes it perfect is that Jeff is so authoritative when he makes a weird pronouncement while Rorie follows everything he says with an apology. The affect is totally different.

Damn that's what I was afraid of. They never put enough cheese on anything.

I'm honestly not trying to be a jerk when I ask, but those were some of the highest regarded games of last gen... Just curious what your favorite games from last gen were? Honestly just interested.

That was funny until he went on with it the whole show and didn't appear or stop them from playing an entire game from start to finish for an hour.

Everyone knows that Bioshock 2 is better than Bioshock 1.

Gameplay yes. Characters and story were way less memorable than 1 tho.
