I'm too lazy to play games so I watch the gameplay commentaries. I'm a cheapskate but oh well. It's quite noticeable how some YouTube channels slant their biases in either direction though.

Same

i find i watch gameplay commentaries for games i would never think of playing as well.

I'm the same, all I play these days is Fifa and COD yet I read Eurogamer pretty much every day.

I just finished Bioshock Infinite.
The last 3 hours are amazing. Might be the best ending to a game ever.

Just bought it there. How long did it take you all in, and what difficulty did you play it on?

Just completed it myself.

The following gif is the only way to express how I feel right now....

Easily the best ending to a game I've ever played.

Edit: Did you see the bit after the credits?

It's basically Donnie Darko only with a happy ending. Donnie starts fucking with time, bad stuff happens so he goes back in time and kills himself at crossroad so none of it happens. A bunch of people start fucking with time so Booker and Elizabeth erase themselves at the crossroads so none of it happens. The difference is in Bioshock, there's a reality in which Booker refuses to be baptised so we can assume him and Anna live happily ever after. Albeit as a single parent with a gambling problem and crippling guilt over his past actions. But at least in that world he's not a cunt. In Donnie Darko, there's no timeline in which Frank doesn't exist but Donnie survives. He's either asleep or he's been woken up by Frank.

Apart from that, one of my favourite parts of the game wasn't part of the main game, I guess it was something of an easter egg. You know at the start, a barbershop quartet sings God Only Knows? But the year is 1912. If you do some exploring, you can find some voxaphones which are like "oh, you're so talented music person how do you find this music?" and then you can fidn rifts nearby when music from the future is playing. Nice attention to detail I guess.

One thing i love about this generation is DLC like this, completely different from the game but available as a standalone for like £20. Great to see imo. I know the designer who's done most of the assets for the game as well

There's just far too many things happening at once in that video, I get the feeling my brain would explode if I tried playing that.

Edit: I love the theme though, and I love that they've made the website consistent with it.

It isn't DLC. It is a standalone game/expansion

XBOX Live is down, this is happening far too often now, especially as we actually pay for the service. Its becoming a joke, its happened 4-5 times in the last 3months, not acceptable imo.

I do all the time. Once I finish a game I get bored with it so challenge myself by going after all the trophies.

I don't like it when people on this forum decide as a unit they don't like someone and are then really quick to bash them for everything they say...
But that's fucking stupid. This weekend I spent loads of time playing Guild Wars and then spent loads of time hanging out and chatting with some friends. Free time is weird like that.

It was a general thought, as reading this reminded me of people i know. It was not targeted at someone special.

I'm not a particular fan of someone being the 'forum idiot', it seems pointless and most people here have said more stupid things in the past than this Dortmund fan.
