[url]http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/03/22/bioshock-infinite-pc-review[/url] Video is on the site. It is fishy as all hell when only 1 site gets a review copy...specially when that site is IGN. We'll see how it goes, but i am a bit more hyped! Updated the post with the written review link, it also has a video on the front as well.
i didn't know zach braff worked for ign
15 hour story holy fuck more games need to be that long
I love all the fun distractions that were shown like the carnival-game-esque shooting gallery.

[QUOTE=Lord of Ears;39998114][URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbole"]you're pretty dumb[/URL][/QUOTE] You're pretty wrong. A hyperbole of "take X with a grain of salt" would be to take it with EVEN LESS than a grain of salt. Saying to take something as a mountain of salt is the exact opposite as taking something as a grain of salt. To take something as a mountain of salt would be to EXAGGERATE their claims, not understate it. Linking to a wikipedia page doesn't make you right- but nice try.

Linking to a wikipedia page doesn't make you right.[/QUOTE] you're still completely incorrect to take something with a "grain of salt" means that you shouldn't believe it 100%, due to having an untrustworthy source considering this is IGN we're talking about, he said "mountain of salt", because IGN tends to be incredibly untrustworthy i don't know what you're not understanding here [editline]22nd March 2013[/editline] also, it's WITH, not AS you're not taking it as a grain of salt, you're taking it with

okay how about this salt = skepticism more salt = more skepticism therefore, mountain of salt = mountain of skepticism jesus christ
[QUOTE=Lord of Ears;39998141] also, it's WITH, not AS you're not taking it as a grain of salt, you're taking it with[/QUOTE] Argue semantics if you must, my point's valid.
no it isn't
Okay then. You win. I suppose I didn't understand the original meaning of the idiom. I'm glad this was all relevant to the thread.
I was worried when he said it looked horrible on console, but then I realized he was playing on PS3. Didn't look too bad. Can't wait.

If you don't go off the score, he generally liked it.
Supposedly other review website will get theirs Monday.
[QUOTE=surfur;40000911]Supposedly other review website will get theirs Monday.[/QUOTE] Yeah I'm waiting for what Adam Sessler has to say. He was pretty pissed that 2k did a deal with IGN so they could get an earlier review
I only trust the best gamers now [editline]22nd March 2013[/editline] But everything he said made me want to pay money for it

[QUOTE=Lord of Ears;39997596]15 hour story holy fuck more games need to be that long[/QUOTE] I disagree. Sometimes longer is NOT better. Some games would be abysmally boring or terrible if they were stretched out. There has to be a good balance of length and brevity when making a game or else your players will get bored.

It looks gorgeous.
