Bioshock Infinite

[eliasfrost]

Exactly, and it is sticking to direct x 9 wich is causing all the
issues, jaggies, muddy textures, slow frame rate, it is out of date, we
are on direct x 11 b now, there is no excuse other than 360
compatability to still use direct x 9, i am sorry if this sounds
elitist, but, why should people who have more up to date systems like a
PC or PS3 have to put up with technoligically castrated games because
they have to work on an outdated system like 360, it makes buying a ps3
or pc for there superior abilities a waste of money, companies need to
drop 360 support, as its resulting in too many issues in graphics and
game reliability, and thats the real kicker, when i pay money for a
game, i expect it to work, properly, at least 90% of the time, instead,
im getting bugs and glitches every 5 minuites, and i feel like I have
been ripped off.

Why they make games compatible with 360? because they want their games to be playable for everyone, and since when did gamers buy their games for the sake of their consoles features? Only when you download some benchmark maybe but not for a proper game. And that's what people want, a proper game. And who are you to say that devs "need" to get a whole lot of money (I mean a whole lot) dropped because you can't stand your games not looking pretty enough. And about bugs and glitches, that's not a console issue that's a game coding issue.

yes, bioshock 1 was art, but it was art wrapped around a proper FPS,
Infinite, sadly, is just a unique art style wrapped around a copy and
paste "modern shooter" gameplay experience (wich i cannot abide!), and
to me, that simply is Not good enough.

Except they both have the same gameplay, how exactly is Infinite a copy pasta of any other modern shooter?

i can see why they have done it, thanks to my business education, and
its to attract the younger "casual" market, but my business education,
and the fates of other games that primarilly appeal to an older audience
that have "gone modern" in order to attract a "casual audience", such
as "Duke Nukem", tells me that all they are doing is shooting themselves
in the foot, the casual market, in the majority (over 80%) only buys
FPS games that have one of Three golden Franchise names on them, "Call
Of Duty", "HALO" and "Battlefield" , they wont buy bioshock, because it
doesnt have any of those names, and the Majority of people who do buy
games like Bioshock, tend to be older, hardcore/elitist players, who
will flip there wigs at the modernised gameplay and will troll and flame
like hell on a keyboard about it!.. sure, there are people out there
who will buy the game and love the game for its art style and story, and
more power to them.

Just because you have a business education doesn't mean that you understand everything, just sayin'. Now, Duke Nukem didn't fail because it went "modern" it failed because it did just the exact thing it did a decade ago, just worse. It had outdated gameplay, outdated story-telling and most importantly: outdated morals and values. Which made the game flopp so hard it destroyed one whole franchise.
Modern games don't have to be bad, dishonored is EXTREMELY streamlined but it's a very very good game despite of that, the same goes with Skyrim (even though it's a bit overrated) and Mass Effect. And please don't use elitist and hardcore gamer as if it was the same, because it isn't, I'm a hardcore gamer, I've been around a long time and I love gaming and competetive gameplay, but for the love of good I would never be something as ignorant and conservative as an elitist, for my sake, ok?

Games Publishimg is a Business, a Big One, and Big Business has no room
for Semantics. that market who will buy the game and love it for its
story and art style is 2 million, tops. In the games industry anything
less than 10 million units is a "Flop", and a "Flop" is "unsustainable".
so, its franchise cancellation and bye bye developer as it either gets
sold to EA or Activision to "recoup losses", or simply closed down to
"save money by not having unessesary assets", because the game fell
short of sales targets, and the publisher lost a lot of Money because of
that, wich is bad for business. hey, if you dont beleive me, just ask a
Businessman.

I understand that, and I understand that Games are the biggest, fastest growing entertainment business in the world, and that's exactly why things are the way they are. The same happened to music, the same happened to films and it's not as suprising as some make it up to be that it happens to gaming.

You don't like it? Start a petition and send it to EA or Activition, or better yet to the developer. That might be better than whining on a forum where noone hears you cry.
