Q: Bioshock Infinite Lutece Statue Transformation

In the beginning parts of the game, before the action starts, there's a statue of Lutece which transforms. It completes the transformation faster than I can get to it, so I can't see what it transforms from. So my question is, what was the statue originally before the shift?

6:11 PM

bioshock 1+2 generally gets down to $5 or less during sale season... I think I've seen it together with spec ops for $10-ish or less

bioshock infinite is ehhh, xcom is good but generally cheaper w/DLC, and the rest are all kind of b-team games

badp

@3ventic I guess I'm about to own my very first XCOM game, and probably not one that's very good from what I've heard?

agent86

the bureau is xcom in name only, from what I've read.

it's like the mobile dungeon keeper of the xcom series

if they hadn't made the firaxis xcom game, someone would have lynched them for abuse of the license, probably.

6:18 PM

@MBraedley NO

I'VE CLOSED THE TAB

MBraedley

@OrigamiRobot It'll remember your position

agent86

@MadScientist I've played it start to finish. it's got a better plot than most FPS'es, but it's still a military-dusty-brown shooter.

Origami Robot

I'VE CLOSED THE TAB

agent86

it raises a lot of moral arguments about decisions made in war, what sanity is, etc. if that sounds interesting, cool, but if you're just not into military FPS'es it probably isn't going to change your mind.

badp

@MadScientist The game wants you to expect it's another Call of Battlefields game, but it's actually kind of Stanley parable-y. Except not. Go play it!

agent86

6:20 PM

it's got some decent AI partners, compared to most AI partners in games.

it's a shooter that manages to avoid ludonarrative dissonance, for what that's worth.

or jingoistic USA USA USAAAAA-ism

That said I dunno if it's worth beating the average yet. Depends on the other bonus games.

Trent Hawkins

I hear that Bioshock 2 is more of the same?

Spec Ops is an Important Game, but that doesn't necessarily make it a Good Game.

I wouldn't pay $5 to get spec ops unless I was getting some other games I wanted as well

LessPop_MoreFizz

6:22 PM

Bioshock 2 is the equal or better of it's predecessor and successor in terms of man shooting, but is a big step down otherwise.

StrixVaria

> Goal: Construct a regular pentagon inscribed in a circle

I think this is where I'm done.

agent86

@badp it's okay, the plot is pretty sucky, but otherwise the "more of the same" is accurate.

badp

@StrixVaria The thing with this game is it sounds like all of those are solved problems

LessPop_MoreFizz

Like, narrative wise, it's a massive disappointment.

badp

@agent86 Good, because Bioshock is not the kind of game you want to play more of.

LessPop_MoreFizz

6:23 PM

Basically, Bioshock 2 is the inverse of Spec Ops.

agent86

another one of those that I wouldn't buy unless I was getting something else I really want.

StrixVaria

@badp Yeah, math is pretty advanced in this space. But I personally don't know how to do it.

Origami Robot

EVERYTHING @LessPop_MoreFizz IS SAYING ABOUT BIOSHOCK 2 IS TRUE

agent86

@badp I would play more of the good parts of bioshock. I would not play more of the bad parts of bioshock. 2 and infinite are mostly the bad parts of bioshock.

badp

@agent86 Even then the good parts of bioshock are the ones that fill you with dread with facing another levelful's worth of enemies

MBraedley

6:24 PM

@LessPop_MoreFizz This echos a lot of what I've heard; the mechanics are better, but everything else is a bit lack luster.

StrixVaria

@agent86 What is the actual bad part? The combat?

agent86

the atmosphere and the sense of dread and the tough moral choices and the interesting plot wrinkles are the parts 2/infinite seem to neglect or forget completely.

badp

That's what I mean by "not want to play more of"; you don't normally want dread

Also, lol "moral choices"

StrixVaria

I only played 1/3-1/2 of infinite but it did a pretty good job on atmosphere. It wasn't the same atmosphere as Bioshock, but it had atmosphere.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@badp oh,well in that case, Bioshock 2 is completely dread free.

agent86

6:25 PM

@StrixVaria yeah, the combat's just not that great in bioshock, imho. it's okay.

badp

I could kinda see moral choices in Bioshock 1 if choosing to save the sisters did net you less ADAM than the alternative

StrixVaria

There were no moral choices to speak of, though.

agent86

do what you want, man, I don't care. just trying to offer a perspective.

StrixVaria

Follow the arrow! Forever!

LessPop_MoreFizz

If you liked the manshooting of Bioshock 1, though, there is more where that came from.

6:26 PM

I have played the games I consider good in this bundle and I wouldn't pay what they're asking. however, you may safely ignore my opinions of what is good and what is bad.

badp

(I did finish System Shock 2.)

I just threw a buck in for charity and cards.

LessPop_MoreFizz

System Shock 2 is a Good Game.

badp

@LessPop_MoreFizz Possibly because it's virtually guaranteed that we can't produce a System Shock 3 worthy of its name nowadays. We have too many resources to make a high profile game like that that sucks in all the right ways.
