YO! My brain now is full of Bioshock rubbish and it's killing my emotions. When I laugh in the game, I don't know whether it's because I'm deranged or because it really is funny. I don't know! AM I DERANGED?! BUT IT'S FUNNY!
HALFWAY THROUGH THE GAME! I'm done with Andrew Ryan. Moving on to that F**king Fontain. AHAHAHAHA!
A MAN CHOOSES, A SLAVE OBEYS! -
You gotta love Ryan...
Okay, those who don't game really should just stick to a REAL average computer. How shall I put it? Pat your back if you can understand all these: 1. Windows Xp Service Pack 2 - Good enough for games nowadays. 2. DirectX 9 3. 100GB of Memory - more than enough for you're online gaming needs I mean come on you all gonna download online games that are 3GB in size? Companies won't make their games that big. Ruins business. 4. 512MB of RAM 5. Pixel Shader 1.4 6. Pentium D 7. Nvidia Series 5/6. 128MB RAM 8. DVD Drive - Totally optional for people who just want a better computer for online games like Maplestory or Audition. Very necessary for people who play any not-online games. Newer games like those only come in DVD now.
IF YOU ONLY WANT A BETTER COMPUTER FOR ONLINE GAMES DON'T BOTHER GETTING SUCH A GOOD COMPUTER YOU F***ERS! YOU DON'T EVEN PLAY PROPER GAMES LIKE S.T.A.L.K.E.R OR BIOSHOCK. Chill chill chill....
Damn assholes asking for a good gaming computer when they don't even game...
YEP! That's right! The game that was voted to have the scariest level EVER created in any game from 2003 till now, THIEF DEADLY SHADOWS. This is the 3rd installment of the Thief series. I have the second series...but I don't know why I'm not playing that first...
Orders as such: Thief The Dark Project Thief the Metal Age Thief Deadly Shadows
Okay sorry I can't give you the entire accurate information on why the hell it's scary cause I haven't played that far into the game. -looks sheepish- I'M SCARED OKAY?! BLOODY SH!T
STORYLINE: - Garrett =)
You play as Garrett, a master thief. You were trained by a group called THE KEEPERS. But you decided to leave them as you had no interest in their works. So in Deadly Shadows you find out a prophecy that somehow determines your future. A somewhat dark future...(I'm bullshitting. It's just what I think the storyline is after playing till the 3rd stage)
First and foremost, the game is not exactly easy. Though I'm in love with the storyline, it's too heart-stopping. Equivalent to Resident Evil 4 or even scarier. You play as a THIEF so you cannot be spotted. STEALTH IS THE KEY and that's damn hard. The first few missions just require you to steal some important story-related objects.
THE STAGE THAT IS THE SCARIEST LEVEL MADE (some say to be scarier than Silent Hill =O): THE CRADLE.
Yep, every scary game felt like Happy Hour on Tickle U after the Cradle. The only good things I got from the Cradle were the ability to be less scared of things, my loss of my fear of the dark, and a very overwhelming level.
Makes me not want to play anymore =D
In this level, you were suppose to find out who was the old lady who attacked you. The only clue that you actually have leads to the cradle.
The cradle doesn't have a history. It has a scream stretched out through time
What Garrett says about THE CRADLE:
Everyone says it is a disturbing level. It toys with your emotions and thoughts. Somewhat like bioshock. But you can kill the ugly stuff you don't like. Thief you can't. What's worse? It makes you feel so insecure and helpless when you can't kill stuff. Only hide. It gives a damn scary feel. The normal levels are tense enough. AND THE NORMAL LEVELS DON'T HAVE GHOSTS OR ZOMBIES. F***! And you know any haunted orphanage cum asylum is bound to scare the shit out of you.
-Inside the cradle.
What makes this level so different from other games it that it's storyline is so beautifully crafted. The cradle has so many hidden mysteries, stories and secrets just thinking of it gives you a chill. What you'll see when you explore the cradle, which is an orphanage cum asylum if you didn't watch the short video >:( , are remains of patients from the asylum. Rooms that were used when doctors tried everything in their means to calm a patient down. Methods such as the electrical chair or LOBOTOMY. Lobotomy is when a surgeon goes into the patience's ear to reach for a brain nerve and cuts it. Causes change of personality and such...
ONE OF THE CRADLE MYSTERIES:
-The girl's ghost. Like WTF! How's a blue blob casting a shadow of a girl's figure? Now I'm not the type to question the dead, but certain things need to be clarified!
A girl while playing in the orphanage, was killed. No one knows how. But her ghost CANNOT leave the place. Why? The cradle seems to have "remembered her", hence not allowing her to leave the place. As long as your stuff are in the cradle, you cannot leave. So you go on helping the girl's ghost remove her stuff, letting her leave the place. BUT THEN...THE CRADLE STARTS REMEMBERING YOU....
IN CONCLUSION, I don't want to play this stage anymore. Anyone wanna help me play it?
Oh about Bioshock, if you thought I am sadistic, let me tell you that NO ONE will not laugh when they see a Splicer go up in flames screaming, "OUCH OUCH OUCH OUCH OUCH!"
Should record myself playing Bioshock. You can hear the word F**k many many times. Bioshock suddenly makes Resident Evil 4 a joke. I mean, some guy created statues by using people and taping them from head to toe... It's so deranged you can't help but laugh. I might have lost it...
Note the white figures. Those are the "statues". Yes he did say F**k.
Right blogging has become something that's even more rarely done then maths revision. Sucks. Understand that maths to me, is something I would choose not to touch unless the situation calls for it.
ALRIGHT PRELIMS IS OVER! And the games have started once more just for awhile. Right now I'm in possession of 2 newly bought games that is... 1. Voted the video game with the scariest level ever created, and 2. The game that is on highest demand this week.
The title gave away the 2nd point. BIOSHOCK. Any gaming magazines, shops or whatever related to video games will be advertising and proudly selling this game. I got it. I'm happy. What's the point of having a good computer and NOT play the best games? I mean what's the point? If you plan on just doing homework with a computer, JUST BLOODY STICK TO WINDOWS 95 with a graphics card memory of 16mb with directx 5! Now shoo off you losers!
Okay sorry, people who don't game and have a great computer is just idiotic. It's a waste!
MOVING ON TO BIOSHOCK!
Intro: The story in the game starts at 1960, playing as Jack, my character was just involved in a plane crash somewhere near the mid-Atlantic ocean. Isolated and helpless, I swim at full speed towards a deserted lighthouse. I'm greeted in a dim-lighted room with a enormous statue glooming over me with a banner reading: NO GODS OR KINGS. ONLY MAN. The description placed in front of the statue reads: "In what country is there a place for people like me?" ...........
I explore the lighthouse and stumble upon a submarine-like object. With no other choice, I step into it and activate the ship. It brings me to the bottom of the ocean. To Rapture.
The graphics are stunning no?
Rapture is now DEAD. The city is now full of mutated and mutilated beings.
"Rapture, a city where the artist would not fear the censor, where the scientist would not be bound by petty morality, where the great would not be constrained by the small! And with the sweat of your brow, Rapture can become your city, as well."
Rapture was built by Andrew Ryan because he believed that people should not be restricted to do whatever they wished. Basically it was a city for elitist. For geniuses. BUT GENIUSES ARE NOT WELL-KNOWN FOR THEIR MENTAL STABILITY (quote from PCGAMER BRITAIN).
Anyway in my first few seconds in Rapture I was greeted by, 2 human-like figures, the inhabitants of Rapture. 1 of them had a meat hook and the other was unarmed. The latter was pleading for his life (I don't know what they're fighting about). But the former just stabbed him. the light flickered on and off and didn't allow me to witness every detail of the fight. One slash, twice...thrice till the unarmed figure moved no more.
Later I learn from a guy named Atlas who communicated to me through a radio, that those inhabitants were called SPLICERS. They're all genetically, mentally and emotionally mutated.
Mentally disturbed splicers will....
Throw furniture As I begin to explore the area by going up stairs, a hear a mad scream. "I CAN CONTROL MYSELF I SWEAR I CAN!!" A splicer runs across my screen and throws an inflamed sofa at me.
Have weird babies A woman stares depressingly into a baby pram. Crying and sobbing away, regretting giving such a bad life to her child. I go close to her thinking she'd be harmless but she turns in fear and swings a metal pipe at me. I dodge her madness and swing my 3kg, 50cm long wrench at her face. The hit connects and she's knocked dead. Then apprehensively, I look into the pram. That's no baby...It's a F***ing shotgun.
GAME PLAY
1. It's first person shooter. Yes, the type of game view that makes you puke. 2. Interesting weapons such as the use of plasmids to call forth lightning from your fingers or snap you're fingers to engulf something in flames.
Yep that's all I can think off to summarize the game play.
It's a mentally disturbing game. A balance of chills and thrills. I want to finish the game, but I'm afraid to play... PLAY ON....
The game taught me the idea of objectivism. Interesting idea by Ayn Rand. This is true. Someone actually wrote a book about her idea of objectivism. It's a deep idea. Thankfully it's not carried out by anyone yet. I mean look what happened with communism...
The graphics are soo awesome...and the awesomely graphic game runs oh-so smoothly on my computer... -dazes-
INTRO OF BIOSHOCK:
PS: Check my blog soon to find out what's the game that was voted to have the scariest level in a video game, SECOND TO NONE.
