I have spent the last two days watching Bioshock Infinite and the Burial at Sea DLC. I have ~feelings~ They are mostly "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" and lots of arm waving.
I got interested in this game a few years back. I forget exactly why, but it probably had something to do with TVT, and it was because of reading about the Lutece twins. So I went and looked at the page for it, and was all, "oh it's an FPS, NOPE", and gave it not much thought after that, apart from maybe occasionally pining if I saw a second-hand copy.
Because this game was so much my jam and I was so mad I couldn't/didn't want to play it because it's a first person shooter. (I can't really play them, as they make me nauseous/give me headaches. This is why I'll never play Halo, despite being massively invested in the story).
Also the other thing I'd found off-putting about it was Elizabeth's design, because she's way more cartoony looking than any other person in the game. If the entire style were like that, I wouldn't mind so much, but it kind of sticks out like a sore thumb. Also most of the caps I'd ever seen of her were from Burial at Sea, for whatever reason, and I like her design in that even less (I get she's meant to be older, but IDK, it just doesn't work for me).
Aaaanyway, then I mostly forgot about it. Then earlier this year, I saw a tweet from the lady who designed what the Lutece twins looked like (it's an artist I've heard of! Her name is Claire Hummel!), and she'd mentioned her influences for their designs, and it was awesome! And I was all, "OK, this is cool, but I still can't/don't want to play this game".
AND THEN. I was noodling around on Youtube one day, and I watched a Skyrim video about stuff you might not know. And YT was like, "hey, if you like that, you'll love this!" and it recommended me a video by a channel called Outside Xbox. So I started watching their videos. And it turns out Bioshock (the entire series) came up a fair bit in the month I spent watching them and their sister channel (Outside Xtra). Eventually, I got to a point where I thought perhaps I should just watch someone else play it, so that's what I did.
I have thoughts. I'm going to say they're spoilery from the outset, although I suppose that depends on how much you know about the game anyway?
( here be MASSIVE spoilers! )
So yeah, all in all, I enjoyed it, and it stomped all over my heart. Which apparently is how I know I like something.
Now back to FFXIII, I guess!
