SympathysSilhouette Posted April 6, 2013 Posted April 6, 2013 Two things: I never quite realized how melancholic and even somewhat sad the melody to this song is until I heard this version. Also, the lyrics get a totally different meaning within the context of the game: I come home in the morning light, My mother says "When you gonna live your life right?" Oh,mother,dear, We're not the fortunate ones, And girls, They wanna have fu-un. Oh,girls, Just wanna have fun. The phone rings in the middle of the night, My father yells "What you gonna do with your life?" Oh,daddy,dear, You know you're still number one, But girls, They wanna have fu-un, Oh,girls,just wanna have That's all they really want..... Some fun.... When the working day is done, Oh,girls, They wanna have fu-un, Oh,girls, Just wanna have fun.... Girls, They want, Wanna have fun. Girls, Wanna have Some boys take a beautiful girl, And hide her away from the rest of the world. I wanna be the one to walk in the sun. Oh,girls, They wanna have fu-un. Oh,girls, Just wanna have That's all they really want..... Some fun.... Quote
donbot Posted April 7, 2013 Author Posted April 7, 2013 Indeed! Which makes me wonder: is Bioshock Infinite the best scripted video game ever? I certainly can't think of any better ones... Quote
SympathysSilhouette Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 Indeed! Which makes me wonder: is Bioshock Infinite the best scripted video game ever? I certainly can't think of any better ones... It's certainly up there, along with the first couple of Bioshocks. Some others I'd consider would be Mass Effect (whole trilogy), Alan Wake, Grim Fandango, I'm sure there's more.. Alan Wake is another that holds up well to scrutiny, has a very solid structure and even manages to squeeze in some comic relief (his agent!). Good call. Quote

SympathysSilhouette Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 Just realized another quip. Near the beginning of the game, when Booker drinks the first vigor, he says "well, you only live once". Rather ironic considering it was his 123rd attempt at rescuing Elizabeth. Quote
donbot Posted April 8, 2013 Author Posted April 8, 2013 ^ Might wanna put that in a spoiler tag though Quote
Michael* Posted April 8, 2013 Posted April 8, 2013 I've had my personal assistant* clear my schedule and hope to dive into it tonight. Can't wait. *Only joking... ...it was my butler. Quote
Michael* Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 Have fun! I haven't even made it to Monument Island yet, but I'm already loving it. The first glimpse of Columbia's streets was absolutely awe-inspiring. Quote
Cult Icon Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 This is my favorite scene in bioshock. There are definitely some 1950s cultural influences behind its construction. The juxtaposition of the ambition and tragedy of Rapture is rather poignant, and it builds up to an apex at this very moment. Cohen's madness also resembles his own way of coping with total loss.... Also, he's based on Salvador Dali! "....if you had become my one and true disciple, you may have been worthy of looking inside of the box as my most private muse. But who knows if that man is yet even born?...." ----- Quote
donbot Posted November 15, 2013 Author Posted November 15, 2013 Anyone played the Burial At Sea: Episode One DLC? Launch trailer: I really enjoyed it for the most part, although I must say bringing together the two worlds felt a little forced at times.. plus it was unfortunately marred by bugs. Still, it was pretty fantastic being back in Rapture, especially to get a glimpse of it in its heyday. The ending was great too - can't wait for episode two, where apparently Elizabeth will be the protagonist Quote
donbot Posted November 15, 2013 Author Posted November 15, 2013 Plus some screenshots I took :Dinah: (not really spoilers, but I'll post them here just in case) Quote
Michael* Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 ^Now that I know this is a thing, I want it! Quote
Ophelia_Immortal Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 The game is truly a mind fuck but I enjoyed it thoroughly! I can't wait for more of the Burial at Sea DLC! Quote
donbot Posted January 29, 2014 Author Posted January 29, 2014 Burial at Sea: Episode Two teaser! Warning: a little spoilery Quote
Ophelia_Immortal Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 omg omg omg omg omg I'm so excited to play as Elizabeth! Quote
donbot Posted February 6, 2014 Author Posted February 6, 2014 25th March :Dinah: “In Burial at Sea – Episode Two, we are delivering a story that involves nearly every major character from the original BioShock and BioShock Infinite,” sayeth Ken Levine in a press release. “It is a story that will give gamers a new perspective on the BioShock universe and conclude the story of BioShock Infinite and Burial at Sea.” Irrational say that the episode will be built "almost entirely" from scratch, suggesting we'll get to see more new perspectives on Rapture. This time around, we'll be controlling Elizabeth, and Irrational are promising the introduction of new weapons and "stealth-oriented gameplay". Quote
SympathysSilhouette Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Irrational Games is down-sizing, big time. http://irrationalgames.com/studio/ I guess that is it for Ken Levine authored Bioshock games.The series remains a 2K property. Quote
Limerlight Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Sad news. I enjoyed all 3 games, though #1 was the only one I really really loved. #1 is in my top ten all time. Quote
