Yes, the ignorant do typically hold contempt towards their intellectual superiors. What's your point?

In you use mainstream reception as the metric by which you judge, you will always end up at the top of the bell curve surrounded by mediocrity.

And you're another insipid troglodyte preventing videogames from advancing as a medium. Go put that pathetically wasted brain of yours to some use by educating yourself, then come back in a few years when you're capable of talking like a big boy.

I was replying to your response about it being a good game. Your accusation that I haven't played it is ridiculous because I wouldn't be commenting on it otherwise.

Considering the entire game had no point in existing at all, no it wasn't. "It was a good game." people say, as though that even matters in this equation.

Bioshock 2 had no reason to exist. That pretty much sums it up.

And people like you will never be able to understand why people hate it, because all you see is a game. "The mechanics worked good, the story wasn't AWFUL, and the gameplay was better than the original." Bioshock was more than a game. It's like someone who's not da Vinci making a painting called "Mona Lisa 2" and you…

Considering the story was 90% of what made Bioshock one of the most memorable games this generation, that's kind of a big fucking deal to mess up.

More like, "How the hell do you make a Bioshock 2 set in Rapture when Bioshock was pretty much the perfect self contained game?" BS2 was some terrible money grub by 2K with ham-fisted multiplayer in a game that never should've existed to begin with. Infinite has more in common with Bioshock proper than Bioshock 2 ever…

Nope. Just someone with good tastes. Then again, we are often criticized by those without it due to our higher standards and penchant for quality.

"Picture this: a frenzy with badasses flanking me left and right, friends down and needing reviving, and what is my dumb butt doing? Getting shot in the face while elbow deep in shit: bullymong scat is also lootable."

I like this better than most. It always feels strange when people have ONE gaming tattoo. Because a.) that makes it the sole focus/centerpiece, and b.) people usually pick the most "iconic"/generic representation of the game to sum it up. Thus the entire point of a tattoo's individuality is lost because you're just…

Agreed. Gaige easily has the best callouts in the game.

Not your style of humor =/= Poorly written.

No, this video IS brilliant. Everything about it is amazing - the song, the video, the lyrics, the humor. It's an absolutely superb song. Unfortunately, it didn't gain popularity for that. It got popular as the "funny dance song I can't understand." Basically the Macarena for a new generation (only it's actually…

While it can be a chaotic game, this video is pretty terrible (no offense to the editor who filmed it). Using a sniper rifle at close range, not swapping between weapons, poor use of cover, practically no anarchy stacks. There's usually all kinds of shit going on, but fighting can be handled much, much cleaner than…

Anecdotal evidence means nothing. Every military personnel I've ever met has been a racist asshole, but I'm not going to say, "Everyone in the military is a racist asshole." That has simply been my experience with the (limited) amount of people I've encountered in the military. 9gag does have it's own audience, which…

Erm, memes have been a "thing" long, long before 9gag was ever a glint in some plagiarist's eye. Rage faces and Advice Animals both started on 4chan and grew in popularity due to Reddit. From there, they spread across Tumblr and Facebook where they went "mainstream". Not 9gag. Secondly, why would that even be a…

"I don't care if it's original to the site or not." And that's the entire problem. You're supporting a site/company that is nothing but a bunch of thieves. Secondly, you only see that sort of content if you look it up. Default subreddits are fairly neutral and all 4chan boards other than /b/ and porn-related ones are…

Ephebophilia =/= Pedophilia
