I bought
"Bioshock" the week it came out.
I was not into internet culture like I am now. No blog, Facebook was more of a stylized
email account rather than my primary news source, so I really did not feel the
huge wave of good reviews like I do now bearing down on me like a bunch of very
encouraging wolves, "You-oooooh, sorry, saw the full moon there. Meant to say, you should totally pick up
"Bioshock: Infinite" it is really good."
Then they
bite me and I have to eat wolfsbane before the next full moon or be
transformed into a beast. All of that
aside I really wish I had the sort of income that made buying and playing games
at the 60$ price mark more feasible, rather than waiting for Target to slash
prices to snap things up, or the Steam summer sale fast approaching.
I love the
original "Bioshock", it having taken me several months to finish,
though the first 6 hours went pretty well.
And I did not get spoilers the way I have managed to get them for other
game series I like (Mass Effect 3 has been 90% spoiled for me)... But I wonder
if I should care. I often find that
watching a review of something beforehand allows me to better appreciate what
is coming, and look for the clues, (to use a movie example, "The 6th Sense"
was spoiled for me, for no good reason, just some guy talking loudly about it
in a room... To me with the intent of spoiling it. Point is, that allowed me to see the movie
from another angle, and did add to the experience, it was just one that was
less emotional, and instead more technical).
I wonder if
that sort of thing will happen for me in the case of "Infinite". Can I read the material, take part in the
discussion but not play the game till it hits the $30 mark?
I think I
am going to just have to try.
