I appreciate the story, but the story title\premise is one of the most baffling I've heard. Two things in gaming that are near the bottom of the 'evolved' ladder are Nintendo and certainly Animal Crossing. Animal Crossing has changed so little over the years. There are so many features and upgrades that could/should have occurred that haven't in the series. Animal Crossing's reputation is that it is still played and loved IN SPITE of its lack of evolution from game to game.

The end of the game took away from the rest of my time with it. Revealing the “infinite” part of Bioshock unfortunately replaces any satisfying ending for the story I have been playing and the characters I knew and loved. That is my problem with the game as a whole and even though I had a great time playing through it, the ending couldn’t help leave a bad taste in my mouth that hurts my opinion of the game as a whole. Yes, there is a lot to nerd out about, but the vast majority is 'on paper' and is really only effective in retrospect. Sure, there are clues all around and references and events that fit perfectly into the story...but generally after the fact.

Infinite's characters and world, when flipped upside down (infinitely) you leave this player without a satisfying conclusion of 13 hours of story, experience, world and characters that I loved in lieu of the reveal of the Bioshock 'world'. Is it an extraordinarily well realized world in it's details yes, even when compared to similar time/world bending stories. That doesn't change the feeling I got after how rigidly it is presented in the last 20 minutes and how little my experience with the world and characters mattered in the end. Basically, I would rather had a Bioshock 'Limited' or just “Sky-o-Shock” instead. There was plenty of depth and thought provoking themes and storylines before the finale of Bioshock Infinite came to pass.

I realize I may be in the minority, but I'm still sharing. I don't hate Infinite, very far from it, it just unfortunately didn't ignite me as it did you and so many others. Oh, also, I must say that I do understand the ending events and what they mean, perhaps not as with as much detail as some, but I got it...just thought that I should point that out :)

I want to voice(virtually) my appreciation of 'Random PC' game and 'Load Our Last Save', or most whatever the team of Vinny and Dave are a part of. Please keep doing shows together guys, it's worth my premium subscription alone! There is just a good chemistry and neither of them is ever trying to be 'cool' or trying to have a high reference per minute pace. I enjoy the fun, laid back mentality they seem to have. My only suggestion is too keep having mostly games that Dave and Vinny haven't played or hardly remember playing for Random PC Game, it makes it more fun to watch/listen to.

Yep, cheesy praise, that's it. Feel free to add on if you like.

Also, I'm not interested in a "this thread exists here" link, thanks :)

I'd very much like it to be truly a random game and preferably something alot of us haven't played, or at least Vinny and Dave haven't played. That makes it much more fun. I love the MST300 quality to the show.

The fact that they ' give a crap' enough to listen to the community post-release... and then go to the effort to bring in players for feedback is pretty awesome.

I also agree with some people here that this kind of thing doesn't give some complainers too much more if an ego that is already inflated. But if it helps the games, I can live with it :)
